SUMMARY

This report is part of our office's ongoing focus on revenue accountability. The purpose of this audit was to provide assurance that the City of Austin is credited for sales taxes paid within the City limits.

From our testing, we identified 180 addresses coded non-Austin but appearing within the city limits. The State Comptroller's Office must confirm them and, although potential monetary impact has not been determined, the effect on City revenue may be minimal. Testing of sales tax records for annexation timeliness and completeness is scheduled for this year.

Management agrees with both recommendations in the report. We appreciate the cooperation and assistance we have received from the State Comptroller's Office and the Transportation, Planning, and Sustainability Department during this audit.
