Texas fireworks tax facts

What is the fireworks tax?

Fireworks tax is a tax imposed on all retail sales of fireworks (1.4G Class) in Texas. The fireworks tax does not apply to such items as toy guns and party poppers that use paper or plastic caps, or to model rockets and motors. Items that are not subject to fireworks tax may be subject to sales tax. Revenue from the tax goes to a program to assist rural fire departments.
