Corporate Plano
Plano, north of Dallas, had about 293,000 residents in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate. Over the past few decades it has become one of the country's leading headquarters cities. Toyota Motor North America, JCPenney, Frito-Lay and Pizza Hut are based here, the Legacy area holds large campuses for banks and technology firms, Samsung Electronics America is moving its U.S. headquarters to Plano by the end of 2026, and AT&T plans to start moving into a new headquarters on the former EDS campus in 2028. BOMCAS works with Plano clients remotely.
Statewide rules are covered in the Texas overview; here we turn to Plano.
Taxes in Plano
Plano has no state or city income tax. Businesses file the franchise tax report and collect 8.25 percent sales tax, of which 1 percent goes to DART. Hotel stays carry 13 percent tax. In November 2026 voters rejected Proposition A, which would have authorised venue taxes on hotels, car rentals, parking and admissions to help fund a proposed Dallas Stars arena. Property is valued by the Collin Central Appraisal District for most of the city and by the Denton Central Appraisal District for the west, and taxed by the city, the counties, Plano ISD and others.
Our Plano Clients
We work with IT consultancies and staffing firms, suppliers to headquarters campuses, restaurants and shops, medical and dental practices, franchise owners, startup founders, employees with stock compensation, families who relocated from other states and international families on work visas or with assets abroad.
Parts of the City
Legacy, in west Plano near the Dallas North Tollway, holds most of the corporate campuses, as well as Legacy West and the Shops at Legacy. The Telecom Corridor, which runs north from Richardson along Highway 75, holds more technology offices. Downtown Plano, on the DART line, has restaurants and small businesses, while Willow Bend and the older neighbourhoods of east Plano are largely residential.
Common Starting Points
New Plano clients often bring an RSU sale that was taxed twice, a move from another state that left questions about the old state's tax, Indian or Korean accounts that were never reported, or a consulting firm growing into new states. We start with the most recent returns and records and agree on what needs to be done.

Our Approach
We work online, with secure document uploads, video meetings and cloud accounting. Our services include returns, bookkeeping, payroll and projections. We are not a law firm, so legal advice and representation at hearings stay with attorneys.
How BOMCAS Helps in Plano
Plano businesses usually start with bookkeeping that tracks time and subcontractors, payroll for remote and visa staff and sales tax on software, data services and restaurant sales. Each year we prepare business returns and franchise tax reports and personal returns with stock and relocation issues, and use them for planning. Missed FBARs or state returns are handled under back taxes and late filing, and international families rely on cross-border tax.
The general Texas rules on business filings, personal filings, sales and use tax, books, payroll, planning ahead, catch-up filing and international tax are on our state pages.
