Sales Tax Report
County Treasurer Terri Ross distributed the 2018 Allegany
County Sales Tax Report reflecting receipts totaling $8,772,279.39. The
year-to-date figures show an increase of $820,843.51 or 10.323 percent more
compared to last year at this time. Ms. Ross stated they have not had a red
month yet this year, and it is likely due to the gas increase. Legislator
Harris asked if there is a way to split out gas revenues from other forms of
revenue. Ms. Ross stated on a quarterly and semiannual basis the state will
give us a statement that shows what we have received from gas and will share
that information with the committee when she receives it.
