It's hard to say why your city income dips since it is composed from many sources.
Here's a few sources to check.
RCI: upgrades, move outs, or lack of basic services (power, water, sewer, garbage). I gathered tax data for many RCI buildings and found income per hour for each building is a flat amount * tax rate. However, this amount can be reduced when basic services are missing.
Megatower apartments: income per hour is based on occupancy which can vary.
Tourism, Casinos, megatower malls and megatower offices: income per hour is based on utilization, which can vary to extremes. Specifically, these income sources periodically reset to zero and then build up based on utilization after the reset.
Importing/Exporting: when deliveries are made varies.
If you don't have enough income overall, RCI is a great place to go because of its stability. Just add more RCI buildings and keep them down at medium density to spread them out and maximize taxIncome/serviceCosts.
