Dublin sales tax collections were up quite a bit in August, at 16.17% in August, compared to August 2021, according to the state sales tax report released by Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar this month.
In 2022, for the month of August Dublin received $51,059.90 compared to $43,951.37 in August 2021.
The majority of September sales tax revenue is based on sales made in August and submitted in September.
On the state level, Hegar reported Texas state sales tax collections totaled $3.69 billion in September, 17.2 percent more than in September 2021.
“State sales tax collections continued to climb rapidly in September, with solid growth in receipts from all major economic sectors,” Hegar said.
Total sales tax revenue for the three months ending in September 2022 was up 14.9 percent compared with the same period a year ago. Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 56 percent of all tax collections.
Receipts from retail trade and restaurants grew moderately reflecting higher shares of household budgets being allocated to rent, groceries and transportation expenses due to inflation.
