Revenue from a one-cent sales tax collected by Houston merchants was up about 3 percent from 2017 during the latest monthly distribution, reports the Missouri Department of Revenue.
The total was $58,797, which was an increase of $1,686 from the same period a year ago.
Retailers also collect two eighth-cent sales taxes for street, sidewalk and utility work. Each totaled $13,560, which was nearly identical to 2017’s figures.
