1. The County Tax Agency Fund has been established to account for the county’s duties of collecting the county and state property taxes. The levies for the year 20X0 were $600,000 for the County General Fund and $480,000 for the state. It is expected that uncollectible taxes will be $10,000 for the state and $15,000 for the county.

2. Collections were $300,000 for the county and $240,000 for the state.

3. The county is entitled to a fee of 1% of taxes collected for other governments. The amounts due to the state and to the County General Fund are paid except for the collection fee due to the County General Fund.

4. The fee is transmitted from the Tax Agency Fund to the County General Fund.

5. Uncollectible taxes in the amount of $5,000 for the state and $6,000 for the county are written off.
