SUBJECT: AUGUST 2014 — SALES TAX UPDATE
Y�p3
Sales tax revenue represents approximately twenty percent (20%) of the City's General Fund revenue
anticipations. Staff is committed to providing you regular updates on this important and sometimes
volatile revenue source. The Texas Comptroller's Office posted August 2014 collection results on
October 8th. Actual receipts are dependent upon the timeliness and accuracy of sales tax payers'
returns. 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.

FY2005 FY2006 FY2007 FY2008 FY2009 FY2010 FY2011 FY2012 FY2013 FY2014
The City's net sales tax collection is up $199,703 or 2.1% compared to this month last year. As
depicted in the table below, the City experienced $280,927 or 3.0% in positive growth when
compared to last year's current period collections for the same month. Current period collections
include only transactions that occurred within the month, so this number reflects pure economic
activity.
