Sales tax up 20 percent from 2004-05 fiscal year

By Alice Dowty

LIVINGSTON - Sales tax collections in the parish over the past fiscal year are about $10 million more than the amount collected in 2004-05.

Sales tax revenue jumped after Hurricane Katrina, and has stayed high.

"The vast majority of the 14 entities for whom we collect brought in 20 percent more in the past 12 months in their total collections compared to the same 12 months the year before," said Michael Curtis, director of the School Board's sales tax collection office.

During the 2005-06 fiscal year, $56,338,600 was collected in Livingston Parish, according to Curtis's figures. During the previous fiscal year, total parish sales tax collections amounted to $46,340,100.

The total collected in June (from May sales) was $1,227,800 more than in June 2005. ....


Wow. I guess that means they won't be asking for tax increases any time soon. Sure like that will happen.
