About
Gross Receipts to the Treasury
Since
March 2011, the Office of the State Treasurer has issued the monthly
Gross Receipts to the Treasury report, which provides a timely and
broad view of the state’s macro economy.
It
is provided in conjunction with the General Revenue Fund allocation
report from the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES),
which provides important information to state agencies for budgetary
planning purposes.
The
General Revenue Fund receives less than half of the state’s gross
receipts with the remainder paid in rebates and refunds, remitted to
cities and counties, and placed into off-the-top earmarks to other
state funds.
