When you shop, shop Phoenix
         Did you know that sales tax on the merchandise you purchase goes into the city’s general fund, which helps pay for important city services, such as police, fire, parks and libraries? 

Last year, your sales tax dollars accounted for 42 percent of general fund revenue, resulting in approximately $440 million for city of Phoenix services. Phoenix boasts not only several premier malls and town centers, but unique and independent retailers in areas like Melrose on Seventh, Copper Square, Central & Camelback, Roosevelt Row, and much more. So when doing your holiday shopping, remember, shop local—and shop independent!
