General Fund Sales Tax Sales Tax All other revenue The Texas Comptroller's Office posted July 2021 (Fiscal Year 2021, Period 10) collection results on September 9th, 2021. Actual receipts are dependent upon the timeliness and accuracy of sales tax payers' returns. This report provides Fort Worth's sales tax collections, a comparison of collections in the same period last year, and an estimated impact on the current year's budget. The past year has included a change in the method of remitting sales tax to the state comptroller (via legislation), effects of a global pandemic, and effects of a historic winter storm. This activity is being closely monitored and will be highlighted if significant impact is expected.
