Dublin sales tax collections were up slightly this month, at 4.51% in July, compared to July 2021, according to the state sales tax report released by Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar this month.
The majority of August sales tax revenue is based on sales made in July and submitted in August.
On the state level, Hegar reported Texas state sales tax collections totaled $3.77 billion billion in August, 13% more than in August 2021, and the highest monthly collections on record.
“The strong growth in August came from receipts remitted by the oil and gas mining sector, which were up by nearly 80% compared with a year ago,” Hegar said. “Receipts from the construction, manufacturing and wholesale trade sectors showed double-digit growth for the ninth consecutive month, demonstrating continued strong spending by businesses in the state.
“Receipts from nearly all segments of the retail sector came in higher than a year ago, with online shopping and sales at grocery stores leading the way. Receipts from restaurants were also up from last year.
“Receipts from the sporting goods and hobby stores and clothing and accessories stores sectors were down slightly from their August 2021 totals.”
Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in August 2022 was up 14.7% compared with the same period a year ago. Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 56% of all tax collections. Texas collected the following revenue from other major taxes: motor vehicle sales and rental taxes — $651 million, the highest monthly collections on record, up 4% from August 2021; motor fuel taxes — $320 million, down 3% from August 2021; oil production tax — $609 million, up 50% from August 2021; natural gas production tax — $525 million, up 144% from August 2021; hotel occupancy tax — $69 million, up 6% from August 2021; and alcoholic beverage taxes — $145 million, up 7% from August 2021.
