SUBJECT: NOVEMBER 2019 — SALES TAX UPDATE
Y@73
Sales tax revenue represents approximately twenty-two percent (22.4%) of the City's General Fund
anticipated revenue in Fiscal Year 2020. It is the second largest revenue source, with property tax being
the largest. In addition, sales tax revenue represents the largest revenue source in the Crime Control
and Prevention District Fund. Staff is committed to providing regular updates on this important and
sometimes volatile revenue source. The Texas Comptroller's Office posted November 2019 (Fiscal
Year 2020, Period 2) collection results on January 8th, 2020. Actual receipts are dependent upon the
timeliness and accuracy of sales tax payers' returns. This report provides Fort Worth's sales tax
collection compared to last year and the impact on the current year's budget. Legislation has currently
reformed how sales tax is remitted to the state comptroller. This activity is closely monitored and will be
reported on if significant impact is expected.

NOTE: A large fluctuation in Net Collections for November is attributed to a variance in audit
adjustments when comparing to last year's collections for the same month. An audit adjustment
occurred in the same month last year increasing collections by a significant amount, as opposed to
an audit adjustment resulting in a reduction of collections in the current month. A negative variance
of $893,094 is created due to this anomaly. Audit adjustments often cause variations when
reporting net collections.
