HUTCHINSON, Kan. — For the first time since March of 2020, sales tax collections did not surpass the same month of the previous year. January sales tax collections in Reno County fell by about $10,000 to $369,592. That compares with $379,029 in 2020.
It’s also about $31,000 less than last month. January sales tax collections reflect sales for the month of November.
It’s also the first time since July of 2020 that sales tax revenue fell below the $400,000 mark. Sales tax revenue bucked what was forecast to be a very down year for revenue due to the pandemic. But people shopped local and prices for various goods increased, keeping the numbers in positive territory.
Reno County ended 2020 with $4.811 million in sales tax revenue compared with $4.694 million in 2019.
