## Local Sales Tax Reports

There are currently classes that support downloading two different local sales tax reports available on the Comptroller's site: the allocation payment detail report, and the allocation historical payments report. Both classes provide convenience methods for downloading reports for different entity types (cities, counties, transit authorities, and special districts).

### Payment Detail Reports

Create a new report object

``` php
$report = new TeamZac\TexasComptroller\SalesTax\AllocationReports\PaymentDetail;

Request a report for a given entity type with the appropriate search string. There are four different entity types provided by the Comptroller:, <sub>(*5)</sub>

``` php $data = $report->forCity('Austin')->get();, <sub>(*6)</sub>

$data = $report->forCounty('Parker')->get();, <sub>(*7)</sub>

$data = $report->forTransitAuthority('Dallas MTA')->get();, <sub>(*8)</sub>

$data = $report->forSpecialDistrict('Bexar Co ESD 3')->get();, <sub>(*9)</sub>

The return value will be an associative array, keyed by the date of the allocation period. Each value will be an associative array of the different payment components and their respective amounts:

```php
[
    'YYYY-MM-01' => [
        'total-collections' => 12345.67,
        'prior-period-collections' => 12345.67,
        'current-period-collections' => 12345.67,
        ...
        'net-payment' => 12345.67
    ],
    ...
]

This report provides data for the most recent 24 months., <sub>(*10)</sub>

Historical Payment Reports

Create a new report object, <sub>(*11)</sub>

``` php $report = new TeamZac\TexasComptroller\SalesTax\AllocationReports\HistoricalPayments;, <sub>(*12)</sub>

Request a report for a given entity type with the appropriate search string. There are four different entity types provided by the Comptroller:

``` php
$data = $report->forCity('Austin')->get();

$data = $report->forCounty('Parker')->get();

$data = $report->forTransitAuthority('Dallas MTA')->get();

$data = $report->forSpecialDistrict('Bexar Co ESD 3')->get();

The return value will be an associative array, keyed by the date of the allocation period. Each value will be an associative array of the different payment components and their respective amounts:, <sub>(*13)</sub>

[
    'YYYY-MM-01' => [
        'net-payment' => 12345.67
    ],
    ...
]

Although it's a bit overkill to nest the data so deeply, it was done to retain consistency with the results from the Payment Detail Report., <sub>(*14)</sub>

Comparison Summary Reports

Create a new report object, <sub>(*15)</sub>

``` php $report = new TeamZac\TexasComptroller\SalesTax\AllocationReports\ComparisonSummary;, <sub>(*16)</sub>

Request a report for a given entity type with the appropriate search string. There are four different entity types provided by the Comptroller:

``` php
$data = $report->forCities()->get();

$data = $report->forCounties()->get();

$data = $report->forTransitAuthorities()->get();

$data = $report->forSpecialDistricts()->get();

The return value will be an associative array including the allocation period and an array of entities. Each entity will include the name, current amount, year-to-date amount, and the year-over-year change for each., <sub>(*17)</sub>

[
    'period' => 'YYYY-MM-01',
    'entities' => [
        [
            'entity' => 'Abbott',
            'amount' => 12345.67,
            'amount_delta' => 12345.67,
            'ytd' => 12345.67,
            'ytd_delta' => 12345.67
        ],
        ...
    ]
]

Testing
