Gross Receipts Set Landmark High
Thu, 06 Oct 2022 14:16:55 CDT
Gross Receipts to the Treasury for the past 12 months topped a landmark high of $17 billion, State Treasurer Randy McDaniel announced today.
Twelve-month gross receipts through September are $17.03 billion, up by $2.51 billion, or 17.3 percent, from the prior 12 months. That total is more than $4 billion, or 31 percent, higher than the trough of $13 billion measured in June 2020.
“Oklahoma’s economic expansion since the depths of the pandemic are nothing short of remarkable,” Treasurer McDaniel said. “Unemployment remains low, economic indicators are strong, and virtually every core sector of the economy as measured by gross receipts shows growth.”
Major revenue streams for the past 12 months have increased by rates ranging from 94 percent for oil and gas gross production collections to 2.6 percent for motor vehicle receipts. The largest components - taxes on income and consumption - show double-digit growth with income tax collections up 16.5 percent and combined sales and use taxes up 11.9 percent.
The economic picture for the month of September, alone, is equally strong. September collections of $1.59 billion are up by $210.2 million, or 15.2 percent, from September 2021. All major revenue streams reflect growth, led by an increase of 74.1 percent for oil and gas gross production receipts. Sales and use tax collections continue to outpace inflation with growth of 9.7 percent compared to the same month of last year.
Other indicators
As measured by the Consumer Price Index, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports the annual inflation rate at 8.3 percent in August. The energy component of the index is up 23.8 percent over the year. The food index rose by 11.4 percent.
The Oklahoma unemployment rate in August was reported as 3.1 percent by the BLS. That is up from 2.9 percent in July. The U.S. jobless rate was listed as 3.7 percent in August, up by two-tenths of a percentage point from July.
The monthly Oklahoma Business Conditions Index shrank in September. The index for the month was set at 55.6, down from 60.7 in August. The outlook remains positive as numbers above 50 indicate economic expansion during the next three to six months.

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.
