New System for Motor
Vehicle Sales Tax Funds
COLEMAN DEMOCRAT-VOICE
AUSTIN, TEX.: State Comptrol-
ler Bob Bullock has found a way for
local tax assessor-collectors to cut
paperwork logjams and gain state
and county governments the most
interest possible from motor vehicle
sales taxes.
“We found an assessor in Travis
County tyho couldn't keep up with

the tax payments coming into his
office. We designed a way for him to
deposit the tax money into the bank
before he cleared his processing
backlog. It worked so well for him
that we're making it available to
everybody else”, Bullock said.
The new procedure was an-
nounced at the Second Annual Tax
Assessor-Collector's Seminar in Col-
lege Station last weekend and will
be available for use by all local
assessors January 1.
Under the new procedure, coun-
ties will deposit Motor Vehicle Sales
Tax funds they collect into a local
interest bearing account until those
funds are forwarded to Austin.
“We figure these funds, which
had been sitting idle, will gain the
state at least a half million dollars in
interest each year", Bullock said.
“Counties will also get some interest
from these funds and the local
assessors should sleeo better know-
ing that money is Jin the bank,
instead of sitting in unopened enve-
lopes in the assessor’s office.”
Bullock’s new system continues a
trend set by the last regular session
of the legislature. Under a new law
passed in 1983, counties with the
most motor vehicle tax collections
send their receipts to Austin the
quickest in order to gain top
interest for the state.
