They are the same size. This desk is not the city of Dallas, and it is not Farmersville.
Farmers Branch is in Dallas County. City tax is 1%. Dallas MTA is 1%. No special-purpose district. State tax is 6.25%. Those named pieces are the entire combined 8.25%. Dallas CAD is the appraisal office. Farmersville is a different city, in Collin County, with no Dallas MTA.
Farmers Branch is in Dallas County. Dallas CAD gets the business personal property rendition due April 15. Combined sales tax on the Comptroller file is 8.25%. City tax is 1%. Transit on the file: Dallas MTA at 1%. No special-purpose district is listed. State sales tax of 6.25% plus those named local pieces equals the combined 8.25%. The franchise (margin) tax report is due May 15. A no-tax-due threshold exists and its dollar amount is not printed here. Texas has no personal income tax. Sales tax is filed monthly, quarterly, or yearly by volume on the permit. A desk in Farmers Branch, not in the city of Dallas, fits the law-firm cleanup site. That is the shape of this week's file, not a census of Farmers Branch. Other guides are on the industries page.
A courier envelope, two words on the label: Farmers Branch.
Under that label sit two matching amounts. The town, one of each hundred. Dallas MTA, one of each hundred. Nothing else. Because the amounts match, a pouch named "both of them" feels finished and still cannot show which amount is the MTA. This envelope is Farmers Branch, not the city of Dallas. A disbursement printed here uses both amounts. Leaving the MTA off because the house is in Collin drops an amount the envelope requires. Do not invent an extra phrase on top of the MTA.
The dangerous chop is the first word alone. "Farmers" also begins Farmersville, a Collin town whose local piece is a plain two and which has no MTA letters at all. If the envelope printer drops "Branch," the remaining word will match the wrong town and the MTA will vanish, or the Collin two will appear where the two ones should be. Print both words. If the saved place is one word, the save is the defect.
Write the place on the disbursement before anyone attaches a percentage. A disbursement with a blank place inherits the last town the software stored. That inheritance is right only when the last town was Farmers Branch, both words.
One envelope that still shows both words, and one disbursement that shows the two ones in separate boxes. Ask whether Dallas MTA survived as its own box, and whether any disbursement was coded to Farmersville or to the city of Dallas because a word was shared. The envelope is the packet.
A retainer you are still holding is not a disbursement, and it is not the MTA. Do not multiply a retainer by the two amounts to feel finished. Finished, here, means both words on the envelope and the two amounts in separate boxes on a copied page or a sale that happened at this office. Everything else can wait without touching those boxes.
The printer's abbreviation is its own defect. "Frm Br" and "Farmers" and "FB" will not match the envelope you meant. If the software offers those shortenings, refuse them. Branch is not optional. Without Branch, the MTA amount has nothing honest to sit next to.
A desk and a disbursement are the law-firm guide.
