Comptroller sends $500 million in
sales tax revenue to local governments
AUSTIN—Texas Comptroller Susan Combs
says the state collected $1.52 billion in sales
tax revenue in October, down 12.8 percent
compared to October 2008.
Sales in Canadian took a nose dive for
the second straight month in November. The
comptroller's office sent the city a check for
$64,307 this month—a drop of more than
43 percent from the $112,966 payment it re-
ceived just a year ago. In year to date sales,
Canadian is now running over 10 percent be-
hind last year—a fate that most surrounding
counties share [see graphic]. Only Miami, in
Roberts County, shows collections rising—
both for the month (14.80 percent higher than
November 2008) and in year to date sales
(92.68 percent ahead of 2008).
"Declining sales tax collections, which
began in February, have continued with Oc-
tober's collections," Combs said. "Tax collec-
tions are down in major sectors of the econ-
omy, including retail trade, oil and natural
gas and construction."
Today, Combs distributed $500.7 million
in November sales tax rebates to cities, coun-
ties, transit systems and special purpose tax-
ng districts. Local sales tax allocations are
down 8.7 percent compared to November
2008.
Combs sent Texas cities $342.6 million in
sales tax allocations, down 8.3 percent com-
pared to November 2008. So far this calen-
dar year, city sales tax allocations are down
4.2 percent compared to the same time per-
iod last year. Texas counties received Nov-
ember sales tax allocations of $28.2 million,
down 14.5 percent compared to one year ago.
For the calendar year-to-date, county sales
tax allocations are running 3.7 percent below
2008 revenues.
The 153 special purpose taxing districts
around the state received $19.4 million in
sales tax, down 5.2 percent compared to last
November. Ten local transit systems received
$110.4 million in November sales tax rebates,
down 8.7 percent compared to a year ago.
November sales tax allocations to local
governments represent September sales
reported to the Comptroller in October by
monthly tax filers and July, August and Sep-
tember sales reported to the Comptroller in
October by quarterly tax filers.

ments to individual cities, counties, transit
systems and special purpose districts, locate

troller's website at www.window.state.tx.us/

The Comptroller's next local sales tax al-
location will be made on Friday, December
11.
