SUMMARY

The purpose of this audit was to determine whether the State Comptroller’s Office credited the City for businesses that sell taxable goods and/or services within the Austin city limits.

In general, any business that provides taxable goods and/or services for sale within the Austin city limits is required by State law to have a current sales tax permit. We were able to confirm 242 of the 610 businesses we identified within the Austin city limits that may not have a valid sales tax permit. A list of those businesses confirmed has been forwarded to the State Comptroller’s Office for their review.
