Classifications of Revenue and Other Financing Sources


Revenues
 Code  Description
1000 Revenue From Local Sources
 
1100 Taxes Levied/Assessed by the School District. Compulsory charges levied by the school district to finance services performed for the common benefit.
 
1110* Ad Valorem Taxes. Taxes levied by a school district on the assessed value of real and personal property located within the school district that, within legal limits, is the final authority in determining the amount to be raised for school purposes. Separate accounts may be maintained for real property and for personal property. Penalties and interest on ad valorem taxes should be included in account 1140.
 
1120* Sales and Use Taxes. Taxes assessed by the school district imposed on the sale and consumption of goods and services. They can be imposed on the sale and consumption either as a general tax on the retail price of all goods and/or services sold within the school district jurisdiction, with few or limited exemptions, or as a tax on the sale or consumption of selected goods and services. Separate accounts may be maintained for general sales tax and for selective sales taxes. Penalties and interest on sales and use taxes should be included in account 1140.
 
1130* Income Taxes. Taxes assessed by the school district and measured by net income-that is, by gross income less certain deductions permitted by law. These taxes can be levied on individuals, corporations, or unincorporated businesses where the income is taxed distinctively from individual income. Separate accounts may be maintained for individual, corporate, and unincorporated business income taxes. Penalties and interest on income taxes should be included in account 1140.
 
1140* Penalties and Interest on Taxes. Revenue from penalties for the payment of taxes after the due date and the interest charged on delinquent taxes from the due data of actual payment. A separate account for penalties and interest on each type of tax may be maintained.
 
1190* Other Taxes. Other forms of taxes the school district levies/assesses, such as licenses and permits. Separate accounts may be maintained for each specific type of tax.
 
1200* Revenue From Local Governmental Units Other Than School Districts. Revenue from the appropriations of another local governmental unit. The school district is not the final authority, within legal limits, in determining the amount of money to be received, and the money is raised by taxes or other means that are not earmarked for school purposes. This classification includes revenue from townships, municipalities, and counties. In a city school system, the municipality would be considered a local governmental unit. In this instance, revenue from the county would be considered revenue from an intermediate source and coded in the 2000 revenue series.
 
1210* Ad Valorem Taxes. Taxes levied for school purposes by a local governmental unit other than the school district. The school district is not the final authority, within legal limits, in determining the amount to be raised. For example, after a school district has determined that a certain amount of revenue is necessary, another governmental unit may exercise discretionary power in reducing or increasing the amount. Separate accounts may be maintained for real property and for personal property. Penalties and interest on ad valorem taxes should be included in account 1240.
 
1220 Sales and Use Tax. Taxes assessed by a local governmental unit other than a school district and imposed on the sale and consumption of goods and services. They can be imposed either as a general tax on the retail price of all goods and/or services sold within the school district jurisdiction, with few or limited exemptions, or as a tax on the sale or consumption of selected goods and services. Separate accounts may be maintained for general sales tax and for selective sales taxes. Penalties and interest on sales and use taxes should be included in account 1240.
 
1230 Income Taxes. Taxes assessed by a local governmental unit other than a school district, measured by net income-that is, by gross income less certain deductions permitted by law. These taxes can be levied on individuals, corporations, or unincorporated businesses where there is income. Separate accounts may be maintained for individual, corporate, and unincorporated business income taxes. Penalties and interest on income taxes should be included in account 1240.
 
1240 Penalties and Interest on Taxes. Revenue from penalties for the payment of taxes after the due date and the interest charged on delinquent taxes from the due date of actual payment. A separate account for penalties and interest on each type of tax may be maintained.
 
1280 Revenue in Lieu of Taxes. Payments made out of general revenues by a local governmental unit to the school district in lieu of taxes it would have had to pay had its property or other tax base been subject to taxation by the school district on the same basis as privately owned property. Such revenue would include payments made for privately owned property that is not subject to taxation on the same basis as other privately owned property because of action by the local governmental unit.
 
1290 Other Taxes. Other forms of taxes by a local governmental unit other than a school district, such as licenses and permits. Separate accounts may be maintained for each specific type of tax.

1530

Net Increase in the Fair Value of Investments. Gains recognized from the sale of investments or changes in the fair value of investments. Gains represent the excess of sale proceeds (or fair value) over cost or any other basis of the date of sale (or valuation). All recognized investment gains may be accounted for by using this account; however, interest earnings from short-term investments may be credited to account 1510 (for tracking purposes only). For financial reporting purposes, GASB Statement 31 requires that all investment income, including the changes in fair value of investments, be reported as revenue in the operating statement.

An additional account (expenditure object code 930) has been established for investment losses so that districts may report gains or losses separately as required in certain states (or where only credits may be reported for revenue codes and only debits for expenditure codes). However, account 1530 may be used to record the net of all investment gains or losses (reported as a contra revenue).

1532 Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Investments. Gains or losses recognized from changes in the value of investments. Gains represent the excess of fair value over cost or any other basis of the date of valuation. Losses represent the excess of the cost or any other basis at the date of valuation over fair value.

What are 4 types of revenue?

There are four primary types of revenue streams: transactional, project, service, and recurring.

What are the three types of revenue?

Rent revenue. Dividend revenue. Interest revenue. Contra revenue (sales return and sales discount)

Is revenue an asset?

For accounting purposes, revenue is recorded on the income statement rather than on the balance sheet with other assets. Revenue is used to invest in other assets, pay off liabilities, and pay dividends to shareholders. Therefore, revenue itself is not an asset.
