SUBJECT: SEPTEMBER 2014 — SALES TAX UPDATE
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 September 2014 collection results on
November 5th. 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.
