r�Fs
Sales tax revenue represents approximately 19% of the City's General Fund budget. Staff is
committed to providing you regular updates on this important and sometimes volatile revenue source.
The Texas Comptroller's Office posted monthly results on October 10th. The results are dependent
upon the timeliness and accuracy of sales tax payers' returns. This payment from the State
represents taxes collected on sales that occurred primarily in the month of August. In this report, you
will see Fort Worth's sales tax collection compared to last year and the impact the results are having
on the current year's budget.
