Oklahoma Govt. Swimming In $1.2 Billion Surplus

7/3/2018

Comments

 
by Oklahoma State Treasurer's office
  ​Gross Receipts to the Treasury during the past 12 months, at $12.18 billion, are at an all-time high, State Treasurer Ken Miller announced. In addition, at $1.1 billion, gross receipts for the month also set a record high for June collections. “It would appear Oklahoma’s economic engine is hitting on all cylinders,” Miller said. “In addition to the revenue picture, leading and lagging economic indicators paint a positive picture for the state’s economy.”
​  During just completed FY-18, Gross Receipts to the Treasury increased by $1.2 billion, or 11.1 percent, compared to FY17. Gross receipts for June are up by $86.7 million, or 8.6 percent, compared to June of last year. The previous 12-month record high was reached in February 2015 and was set at $12.1 billion. The new record is $73 million higher. The most-recent 12-month low point was reached in March 2017 at $10.76 billion.

Since then, 12-month receipts have climbed by $1.4 billion, an increase of 13.1 percent.
June marked the 15th consecutive month of positive growth in monthly Gross Receipts to the Treasury compared to the prior year, and 12-month collections have been higher than the previous period for 11 months in a row.
The 12-month report shows growth in all major revenue streams. The report for June collections shows growth in individual and corporate income taxes, along with sales tax and gross production taxes on crude oil and natural gas.
New revenue collections
  The tax commission attributes $33.8 million in June to new revenue resulting from legislation enacted during 2017. The additional revenue comes primarily from changes in sales tax exemptions and gross production tax incentives. The new revenue accounts for 3.1 percent of June gross receipts. Out of $11.2 billion in gross collections since last August, $308.5 million, or 2.7 percent, has resulted from last year’s law changes. Tax increases on cigarettes, fuel and gross production signed into law in late March took effect on July 1 and will have no impact on collections until next month.
Other indicators
  The Oklahoma Business Conditions Index, which summarizes several leading economic indicators, has topped growth neutral for 11 consecutive months. The June index slipped to 61.1, from 68.5 in May. Numbers above 50 indicate anticipated economic growth during the next three to six months.
June collections
  June gross collections total $1.1 billion, up $86.7 million, or 8.6 percent, from June 2017. Gross income tax collections, a combination of individual and corporate income taxes, generated $389.7 million, an increase of $18 million, or 4.8 percent, from the previous June.
  • Individual income tax collections for the month are $309.4 million, up by $7.1 million, or 2.4 percent, from the prior year. Corporate collections are $80.3 million, an increase of $10.9 million, or 15.7 percent.
  • Sales tax collections, including remittances on behalf of cities and counties, total $423.1 million in June. That is $49.6 million, or 13.3 percent, more than June 2017.
  • Gross production taxes on oil and natural gas generated $68.1 million in June, an increase of $26.4 million, or 63.5 percent, from last June. Compared to May reports, gross production collections are down by $6 million, or 8.1 percent.
  • Motor vehicle taxes produced $67.5 million, down by $1.8 million, or 2.7 percent, from the same month of 2017.
  • Other collections, consisting of about 60 different sources including use taxes, along with taxes on fuel, tobacco, and alcoholic beverages, produced $151.1 million during the month. That is $5.5 million, or 3.5 percent, less than last June.
Fiscal Year 2018 collections
  Gross revenue totals $12.18 billion during FY-18. That is $1.2 billion, or 11.1 percent, more than collections from the previous fiscal year. Gross income taxes generated $4.3 billion for the period, reflecting an increase of $334.8 million, or 8.5 percent, from the prior 12 months.
  • Individual income tax collections total $3.8 billion, up by $264.7 million, or 7.5 percent, from the prior fiscal year.
  • Corporate collections are $470.8 million for the period, an increase of $70 million, or 17.5 percent, over the previous period.
Sales taxes for the 12 months generated $4.7 billion, an increase of $466.4 million, or 11.1 percent, from the prior period. Oil and gas gross production tax collections brought in $699.9 million during the 12 months, up by $257.2 million, or 58.1 percent, from the previous period. Motor vehicle collections total $768.7 million for the year. This is an increase of $15.1 million, or 2 percent, from the trailing year. Other sources generated $1.8 billion, up by $145.5 million, or 9 percent, from the previous fiscal year.
About Gross Receipts to the Treasury
  The Office of the State Treasurer has issued the monthly Gross Receipts to the Treasury report since March 2011 to provide a timely and broad view of the state’s macro economy. It is released in conjunction with the General Revenue Fund allocation report from the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, which provides important information to state agencies for budgetary planning purposes. The General Revenue Fund receives less than half of the state’s gross receipts with the remainder paid in rebates and refunds, remitted to cities and counties, and placed into off-the-top earmarks to other state funds.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
