Sales tax revenue represents approximately twenty one percent (21%) of the City's General Fund
anticipated revenue in Fiscal Year 2015. It is the second largest revenue source, with property tax
being the largest. In addition, sales tax revenue represents the largest revenue source in the Crime
Control and Prevention District Fund. Staff is committed to providing regular updates on this important
and sometimes volatile revenue source. The Texas Comptroller's Office posted September 2015
(Fiscal Year 2015, Period 12) collection results on November 4t". Actual receipts are dependent upon
the timeliness and accuracy of sales tax payers' returns. This report provides Fort Worth's sales tax
collection compared to last year and the impact on the current year's budget.
