Texas sales tax receipts yet again posted double-digit
growth:Texas sales tax revenue in September was $1.76 billion, up 11.8 percent compared to a year ago, the Texas comptroller, Susan Combs, reported today.
"Texas sales tax collections have now increased for 18 straight months,” Combs said in a release. “All sectors showed increases in September, led by business spending, especially in the oil and gas-related sectors. Consumer sectors like restaurants and retail trade were also up. The recovery in Texas has brought sales tax collections almost back to peak 2008 levels, however the near-term outlook remains clouded due to the uneven performance of the U.S. economy.”
