r�Fs
Sales tax revenue represents approximately 20% 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 results on December 12th. 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 October. In this report, you will see
Fort Worth's sales tax collection compared to last year and the impact on the current year's budget.

The City's net sales tax collection is up $1,774,730 or 23.5% compared to this month last year. These
collections are the best on record for the month of October. However, net collections for October 2011
were reduced by an audit adjustment of m" "� , '.L': '.L This adjustment was the result of a Plano
company paying sales tax to cities that were receiving goods, rather than the source city (Plano). The
adjustment covered the period from Jan 2008 to Dec 2009. As depicted in the table below, "current
period collections" increased 13.0% over last year, signaling a continued improvement in pure
economic activity.
