June sales tax allocations from the Texas Comptroller
Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced June 10 he will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $690.4 million in local sales tax allocations for June, 11.7% less than in June 2019. These allocations are based on sales made in April by businesses that report tax monthly.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread social distancing requirements were in place across much of the state in April, leading to the steepest year-over-year decline in allocations since September 2009. According to comparison reports available on the comptroller's website, Beaumont's sales tax collections for April fell 16.7% from last year, and Jefferson County's fell 4.94% from last year. Beaumont's sales tax total is down 4.74% for the year, while Jefferson County is up 10.75% year-to-date compared to this time last year.
