HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Shopping slowed a bit in Reno County in the late summer and early fall.
According to the latest from the Reno County Treasurer's Department sales tax receipts fell year-over-year from $445,580 in 2020 to $413,660 this year. It’s just the third month this year that sales tax revenue didn’t outpace last year's total. The other months were January and August.
The numbers for November reflect shopping trends for the month of September showing that shoppers slowed their spending a bit as the school year got under way.
With one month left in the calendar year the county has taken in $4,680,189 in sales tax revenue. That means the county will need to take in just $131,000 in sales tax revenue to surpass the record $4.8 million taken in in 2020.
