Kingfisher, Cashion and Okarche showed gains in their October sales tax checks, the Oklahoma Tax Commission report showed.

OTC collects sales and use tax revenue for municipalities and counties along with collections for the state government.

The October distribution of sales tax collections by the Oklahoma Tax Commission primarily represents local tax receipts from August business. Companies that remit more than $2,500 monthly in sales tax receipts are required to file and pay electronically. The monies they reported this period represent sales from Aug. 16 to Aug. 31 and estimated sales from Sept. 1 to Sept. 15. It also includes the statutory sales tax holiday reimbursements to cities and counties.

The disbursement of $201,918,672 in sales tax collections returned to the cities and towns reflected a decrease of $2,915,358 from the $204,834,030 distributed to them in October last year. The use tax disbursement to cities and towns was $33,859,329.

In county returns, the counties shared in a $35,873,558 sales tax disbursement and $7,225,329 in a use tax disbursement.

Kingfisher and neighboring Blaine, Canadian and Logan counties all had increases in revenue in October, with much of the revenue derived from oil company operations.
