Monthly report of state sales and use tax gross collections and gross retail sales [1998 : July]

MONTHLY REPORT OF STATE SALES AND USE TAX GROSS COLLECTIONS AND GROSS RETAIL SALES Data are compiled from reports and remittances made by taxpayers, and are classified according to sales and use tax registration numbers. Detail data from this report may not be directly comparable to that in reports for other months because of corrections in registration numbers affecting collections and gross retail sales within the business, county, and city classifications, and changes in the sales and use tax law. NO county sales and use taxes are included in this report. TABLE 1.
