[pdf, 4 pages, 25kb]These documents contain text of correspondence sent by
TxDOT to the county tax assessor-collectors, statutory agents who provide
vehicle registration and titling services for citizens in Texas. This
information is provided to apprise the general public of issues affecting the
state’s vehicle titling and registration process.
PURPOSE
To provide you information regarding the actual motor vehicle
sales tax and penalties collected and reported through the Registration and
Title System (RTS) by your county in calendar year 2007.DETAILS
Beginning January 2008, sales tax credit was estimated based on sales tax
commission for calendar year 2007. Utilizing the new figures provided by the
Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, the actual amount of motor vehicle sales
tax and penalties your county is entitled to retain during calendar year 2008 is
indicated on the attached list under the Sales Tax Credit column. This amount is
retained through registration fees, and the remainder of the tax commission will
be taken from motor vehicle sales tax and Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP)
surcharges.
Beginning on April 15, 2008, the funds remittance reports reflect the new
County Road and Bridge Fund split levels calculated from these figures.
CONTACT
If you have questions regarding the motor vehicle sales tax amount, please
