OKLAHOMA CITY – Gross Receipts to the Treasury for the past 12 months surpassed last month’s record high of $17 billion by more than $200 million, State Treasurer Randy McDaniel announced today.

Twelve-month gross receipts through October are $17.24 billion, up by $2.5 billion, or 17.3 percent, from the prior 12 months. Furthermore, this aggregate is more than $4 billion higher than the slowdown in June 2020 of $13 billion.

“Gross Receipts to the Treasury continue to rise,” said Treasurer McDaniel. “While inflationary pressures are offsetting the purchasing power of much of the growth, the trend lines from key revenue sources remain favorable.”

Major revenue streams for the past 12 months have increased by rates ranging from 92 percent for oil and gas gross production collections to 2.6 percent for motor vehicle receipts. The largest components are taxes on income and sales. They show double-digit growth with income tax collections up 17.2 percent and the combined sales and use taxes up 11.4 percent.

Compared to last October, the economic results for the month are also robust. Total October collections of $1.48 billion are up by $204.6 million, or 16.1 percent, from October 2021. The highest percentage of growth is seen in oil and gas gross production receipts, up by 87 percent from the prior year. Sales and use tax collections continue to keep up with inflation, growing 8.5 percent compared to the same month of last year.

About Gross Receipts to the Treasury 

The monthly Gross Receipts to the Treasury report, developed by the state treasurer’s office, provides a timely and broad view of the state’s economy.

It is released in conjunction with the General Revenue Fund report from the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, which provides information to state agencies for budgetary planning purposes. 

The General Revenue Fund, the state’s main operating account, receives less than half of the state’s gross receipts with the remainder apportioned to other state funds, remitted to cities and counties, and paid in rebates and refunds.
