3.2.1 Sales Tax Sales Tax revenue for DeSoto has fluctuated in the past 10-years mainly because of the economic recession that affected the revenue between FY2009 and FY2011. The Texas comptroller of Public Accounts provides historical data and a forecast for the next 30 years for the retail sales under Texas Economic Forecast Section. Comparing the annual percentage change in Sales Tax Revenue in the past 10-Yrs for DeSoto and State of Texas, DeSoto has experienced a growth in Sales tax Revenue that is 0.75% less than Texas average. The Sales tax revenue for the next 5-Yrs is forecasted based on the assumption that DeSoto will experience an annual growth percentage in revenue that is 0.75% less than the annual percentage growth for Texas.
