Rock River Valley Sales Tax Receipts

April 28th, 2004  |  Published in State Data  |  4 Comments

Isaac Guerrero of the Rockford Register Star analyzed Illinois tax data to find that sales tax receipts in the Rock River Valley have increased during the past 11 years. “Seven cities enjoyed double-digit percentage gains in 2003 sales taxes coming back from the state.” Just two of the 22 cities studied by the paper saw sales tax declines in 2003, and both cases the drop was less than 1 percent.
