The increase is due to an audit collection totaling $139,138.33. This should be considered as a one time payment and that next year's sales tax allocation payment may reflect a decrease due to this collection. You should, however, be aware that state law allows taxpayers up to four years to file amended information, which may result in adjustments to the original audit. Please call me toll free 1-800-531-5441, extension 34539 if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance. My Austin number is 512/463-4539. Sincerely Foehne T Allocation Section Accounting Division an equal opportunity employer 92.176-2 (6/97)
