for Sales Tax Monitoring and Information Services.
FISCAL IMPACT•

BACKGROUND:
The need for more detailed sales tax information is essential to
revenue forecasting and economic development planning. Revenue
forecasting has been difficult over the years because of
substantial changes in revenue. A lack of monthly or annual
revenue patterns require a more indepth analysis of sales tax
revenue. The State Board of Equalization provides monthly sales
tax information on revenue generated by firm in the County. This
information is provided to the County on computer diskettes,
which is extremely difficult to compile, summarize and print.
Moreover, special computer programming and a large capacity
personal computer are necessary.
The revenue generating potential of various commercial firms is
critical to economic and redevelopment planning. This issue has
been discussed several times at meetings of the Economic Progress
Committee. The Committee has supported the need for more
detailed sales tax data and analysis.

Hinderliter provides sales tax management services to over 80
cities and one County. These services include sales tax
information by firm in a variety formats, technical assistance
and • sales tax auditing services. Discussions with Data
Processing indicate that computer programming costs would be
about the same as the private firm, without the benefit of
technical assistance.
