~ ~ <br />M E M O R A N D U M <br />T0: Richard Hare, Asst. City Manager <br />ene Cam bel~ Revenue Controller <br />FROM: Charl p , <br />SUBJ: Bingo Tax <br />DATE: July 7, 1986 <br />Article 179d of Texas V. A. C. S. allows for taxation of a <br />two percent gross receipts tax on the conduct of bingo games <br />within the City of La Porte. A one percent portion of this <br />tax would be revenue collected by Harris County and the City <br />of La Porte would receive the remaining one percent tax <br />revenue. <br />The City Council will be required to adopt an ordinance <br />imposing the gross receipts tax for collection to begin. A <br />certified copy and City map should then be forwarded to the <br />Bingo Division of the State Comptrollers Office. <br />I would recommend adoption of an ordinance imposing the gross <br />receipts tax on the conduct of Bingo games in the City as it <br />will create an additional revenue source. The collection of <br />this revenue poses no significant administrative impacts. <br />xc: Tom Keilman <br />Olivia Moeller / <br />
