Sales Tax
Revenue
represents a large portion of the City's revenue source, 41% projected in the FY2019 overall budget. Fees & Service Charges represent 25% of projected revenue in the FY2019 overall budget. Although used for only on-time expenditures, Grants & Reimbursements represent 31% of incoming revenues in FY2019. This is an increase from only 4% in FY2018.
November 2019 Sales Tax receipts are $50,268 (1.2%) more than 2018 receipts for the same period and $85,981 (1.9%) less that projected in the FY2019 Budget. Our fiscal year is a calendar year; January - December.
Comparison to Missouri State Sales Tax: The State of Missouri is on a July - June fiscal year where as the City is a calendar year fiscal year. For comparison purposes, the City's sales tax collection for the same period as the State's collection period, was <0.4%> less from the previous year. The State is up 8.3% for the same period vs. the previous year, but it is estimated that State sales tax receipts will level out at approximately 3% growth at year-end, June 2020.*
