Claremore, Catoosa sales tax slightly up over ’09

Joy Hampton Staff Writer

CLAREMORE — According to the monthly report released by the Oklahoma Tax Commission the February distribution of sales tax was down 3.58 percent from this time last year.

February disbursements represent primarily local tax receipts from December business, though in the case of big box sales, companies remitting over $2,500 monthly, some of those receipts are estimates sales from Jan. 1 through 15.

Those companies are required to file and pay electronically.

The disbursement of $117,320,637 was down by $4,355,749. Last February, OTC distributed $121,676,386. Both years include 505 Oklahoma municipalities. 

Use tax is collected in 366 cities and towns. That disbursement was $8,665,996.

Of Oklahoma’s 77 counties, 75 collect sales tax and 69 collect use tax.

County sales tax disbursement for the state was $25,021,652 while use tax came in at 1,923,447.

Locally, Catoosa, Claremore and Owasso all showed gains in sales tax versus last year. A gain in Collinsville reflects a rate increase from last year.

Tulsa’s sales tax revenue dropped nearly $2 million over last year, a decrease of nearly 10 percent, falling from $19,728,990 last year to $17,782,439 this year.

Oklahoma City’s sales tax revenue the same month dropped well over $2 million falling from $ 30,935,351 last year to $ 28,686,483 this year, a 7.25 percent decrease.

Sales tax income for Rogers and Tulsa Counties were also down from last year.

According to officials at OTC use tax is a much more volatile form of revenue than sales tax and can reflect wide differences from month to month.
