DOR believes this would be the City of Cole Camp and the City of Lincoln. Additionally, it would allow any city with more than nine thousand but fewer than ten thousand inhabitants and that is the county seat of a county with more than nineteen thousand but fewer than twenty-two thousand inhabitants to adopt a public safety sales tax. DOR believes this to be the City of Clinton. The sales tax may be imposed in an amount up to one-half of one percent. The tax shall be imposed solely for the purpose of improving the public safety. When the Department collects these public safety sales taxes DOR is allowed to retain 1% to reimburse the Department for collection costs. CITY OF COLE CAMP DOR shows that the City of Cole Camp has taxable sales of: CYJan-MarApr-JunJul-SepOct-Dec Total 2017$3,081,084$2,956,959$3,249,944$3,336,067$12,624,0542018$3,278,248$3,220,758$3,474,064$4,684,461$14,657,5312019$3,402,802$3,687,581$3,745,639$3,618,415$14,454,4372020$3,331,101$3,451,596$3,915,171$3,748,845$14,446,7132021$3,601,159$3,884,537$4,173,028$4,255,922$15,914,6462022$3,074,242$3,849,935 Source:http://dor.mo.gov/publicreports/ The Department notes this proposal allows up to a one-half of one percent sales tax. For the fiscal impact, DOR will assume the one-half of one percent sales tax is adopted. However, for informational purposes DOR is showing how much would be collected if they just chose a lesser amount than the full one-half percent sales tax. Using the taxable sales and a 2% inflation rate in the future, DOR calculated the amount the City of Cole Camp would collect and the fee retained by DOR as: L.R.

Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning defer to the local government in the cities of Clinton and Lincoln for the fiscal impact. DOR’s retained collection fee will increase TSR because DOR will be able to collect its 1% administration fee for handling the collection of the tax. Oversight will range the fiscal impact from $0 (not approved by voters) to the estimates calculated by DOR for 9 months in FY 25 and reflect a full year of sales tax revenue for FY 26 in this proposal.
