Mike Brothers, co-interim director for public information for the city of Springfield, said the city’s sales tax receipts were up 2.2 percent for fiscal 2011. Brothers said the city typically receives its sales tax revenues from the state during the first week of every month. The June check was the last for fiscal 2011. The July check, which had not been received as of 9 a.m. July 5, would be the city’s first check for fiscal 2012.
“The revenues from (the July) check don’t exactly match up with any 30-day period. They are about 60 days behind. Just because we get the check this week doesn’t mean we are getting the revenues from May 1 to May 31,” Brothers said. “It’s just a 30-day window, and there are some companies that pay quarterly. Different businesses have different reporting requirements.”
The city of Springfield's June 1 percent sales tax check from the Missouri Department of Revenue was up 5.4 percent compared to June 2010. Revenue collected totaled $3.45 million, compared to $3.27 million in June 2010.
