Estimated population as of April 1, 2000, prepared by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.
* Gross collections reported for the period July 1 through June 30 including collections of penalties, interest, and sales and use tax.
** Amounts shown are total taxable and nontaxable retail sales reported on sales and use tax returns filed during the period July 1 through June 30. The returns received
from monthly merchants reflect sales for the period June 1 through May 31; semimonthly merchants reflect sales for the period June 16, 2001 through May 31, 2002.
Note: Due to legislative changes in payment and return due dates, the January report included a one-time collections amount for payments still in process for that
period. A semimonthly period of gross collections and gross retail sales was not attributed to individual county, city, and business class categories for the fiscal year.
Note: Detail may not add to totals due to rounding.
Starting with the December 2001 report, monthly sales and use tax reports are not comparable to previous monthly reports. Effective
October 16, 2001, the general state sales and use tax rate increased from 4% to 4.5%, requiring changes to the return. Prior to the change,
use taxes were separately stated and taxable sales were not calculated for use taxes. The new return combines sales and use taxes, and taxable
sales are computed on the total. Therefore, gross collections reflect the 1/2% tax rate increase, and gross retail sales reflect taxable sales
computed on the combined total of sales and use taxes.

* Gross collections reported during the period July 1 through June 30 including collections of penalties, interest, and sales and use tax.
** Amounts shown are total taxable and nontaxable retail sales reported on sales and use tax returns filed during the period July 1 through June 30. The returns received
from monthly merchants reflect sales for the period June 1 through May 31; semimonthly merchants reflect sales for the period June 16, 2001 through May 31, 2002.
*** Sales not presently tabulated.
**** Due to legislative changes in payment and return due dates, the January report included a one-time collections amount for payments still in process for that
period. A semimonthly period of gross collections and gross retail sales was not attributed to individual county, city, and business class categories for the fiscal year.
Note: Detail may not add to totals due to rounding.
Starting with the December 2001 report, monthly sales and use tax reports are not comparable to previous monthly reports. Effective October 16, 2001,
the general state sales and use tax rate increased from 4% to 4.5%, requiring changes to the return. Prior to the change, use taxes were separately stated
and taxable sales were not calculated for use taxes. The new return combines sales and use taxes, and taxable sales are computed on the total. Therefore,
gross collections reflect the 1/2% tax rate increase, and gross retail sales reflect taxable sales computed on the combined total of sales and use taxes.

* Gross collections reported during the period July 1 through June 30 including collections of penalties, interest, and sales and use tax.
** Amounts shown are total taxable and nontaxable retail sales reported on sales and use tax returns filed during the period July 1 through June 30. The returns received
from monthly merchants reflect sales for the period June 1 through May 31; semimonthly merchants reflect sales for the period June 16, 2001 through May 31, 2002.
*** Sales not presently tabulated.
**** Due to legislative changes in payment and return due dates, the January report included a one-time collections amount for payments still in process for that
period. A semimonthly period of gross collections and gross retail sales was not attributed to individual county, city, and business class categories for the fiscal year.
Note: Detail may not add to totals due to rounding.
Starting with the December 2001 report, monthly sales and use tax reports are not comparable to previous monthly reports. Effective October 16, 2001,
the general state sales and use tax rate increased from 4% to 4.5%, requiring changes to the return. Prior to the change, use taxes were separately stated
and taxable sales were not calculated for use taxes. The new return combines sales and use taxes, and taxable sales are computed on the total. Therefore,
gross collections reflect the 1/2% tax rate increase, and gross retail sales reflect taxable sales computed on the combined total of sales and use taxes.
