OKLAHOMA CITY – Gross Receipts to the Treasury for the past 12 months surpassed last month’s record high of $17 billion by more than $200 million, State Treasurer Randy McDaniel announced today.
Twelve-month gross receipts through October are $17.24 billion, up by $2.5 billion, or 17.3 percent, from the prior 12 months. Furthermore, this aggregate is more than $4 billion higher than the slowdown in June 2020 of $13 billion.
“Gross Receipts to the Treasury continue to rise,” said Treasurer McDaniel. “While inflationary pressures are offsetting the purchasing power of much of the growth, the trend lines from key revenue sources remain favorable.”
Major revenue streams for the past 12 months have increased by rates ranging from 92 percent for oil and gas gross production collections to 2.6 percent for motor vehicle receipts. The largest components are taxes on income and sales. They show double-digit growth with income tax collections up 17.2 percent and the combined sales and use taxes up 11.4 percent.
Compared to last October, the economic results for the month are also robust. Total October collections of $1.48 billion are up by $204.6 million, or 16.1 percent, from October 2021. The highest percentage of growth is seen in oil and gas gross production receipts, up by 87 percent from the prior year. Sales and use tax collections continue to keep up with inflation, growing 8.5 percent compared to the same month of last year.
Other indicators
As measured by the Consumer Price Index, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports the annual inflation rate at 8.2 percent in September. The energy component of the index is up 19.7 percent over the year. The food index rose by 11.2 percent.
The Oklahoma unemployment rate in September was reported as 3.2 percent by the BLS. That is up from 3.1 percent in August. The U.S. jobless rate was listed as 3.5 percent in September, down by two-tenths of a percentage point from August.
The monthly Oklahoma Business Conditions Index contracted in October. The index for the month was set at 51.3, down from 55.6 in September. The outlook indicates slow growth during the next three to six months.
October collections
October 2022 collections compared to gross receipts from October 2021 show:
Total monthly gross collections are $1.48 billion, up by $204.6 million, or 16.1 percent.

OKLAHOMA CITY — General Revenue Fund collections in June were $908.1 million and came in at $313.1 million, or 52.6%, above the monthly estimate. This amount is $43.8 million, or 5.1%, above collections in June of 2021. Total collections for the 2022 fiscal year were $8.5 billion, which is $1.9 billion, or 28.3%, above the 2022 fiscal year estimate, and $1.5 billion, or 21.6%, above prior year collections.
“We're excited to see fiscal year 2022 revenue collections and the deposit to the Constitutional Reserve Fund (Rainy Day Fund) both set new state records,” said Steven Harpe, Oklahoma chief operating officer and OMES executive director. “This momentum ensures the state is on a firm foundation moving into fiscal year 2023 and emphasizes Oklahoma's continued economic expansion."
Revenue tables are available on the OMES website.
FY 2022 General Revenue surplus was $1.9 billion. In addition to the revenue surplus, $577.1 million was realized as cash from the unspent FY 2022 budget and required budgetary cushion and $217.2 million was transferred to the Cash Flow Reserve Fund to allow for even monthly allocations for the FY 2023 budget. A constitutionally required transfer to the Rainy Day Fund of $575.7 million brings the Rainy Day Fund’s total to a record $1.1 billion, meeting the constitutional limit of 15% of the prior year’s total general revenue collections. The end-of-fiscal year cash for the FY 2022 General Revenue Fund closed with $1.7 billion. A $698 million appropriation effective Sept. 15, 2022, will finance the newly created LEAD fund, leaving $963.8 million in cash available in the FY 2022 General Revenue Fund.
As state government’s main operating fund, the GRF is the key indicator of state government’s fiscal status and the predominant funding source for the annual appropriated state budget. GRF collections are revenues that remain for the appropriated state budget after rebates, refunds, other mandatory apportionments and after sales and use taxes are remitted back to municipalities. In contrast, gross collections, reported by the state treasurer, are all revenues remitted to the Oklahoma Tax Commission.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Gross Receipts to the Treasury in April surged to a record high driven by income tax payments, but other indicators point to a cautionary outlook, State Treasurer Randy McDaniel announced today.
April gross receipts of $2.04 billion, an all-time high, are up 37 percent from a year ago and mark the first time collections for any month have topped $2 billion. The previous record was $1.58 billion set in April 2019. For the month, combined individual and corporate income tax payments totaled $1.1 billion. April income tax receipts are typically higher than other months due to the annual filing deadline.
Twelve-month receipts of $16.42 billion, also a new record, are up by more than 20 percent compared to the prior period. For the first time, corporate income tax payments contributed over $1 billion to the bottom line during the 12 months.
“Record performance numbers point to the strength of the state economy,” Treasurer McDaniel said. “Even so, there are signs that would urge some caution going forward. Sales and use tax receipts are up by less than the rate of inflation, and gross production and motor vehicle revenues are lower than collections of last April.”
The annual inflation rate hit 8.5 percent in March, up four-tenths of a percentage point from February. It is the highest rate since December of 1981. Gasoline prices are up 48 percent, while the cost of food rose at an annual rate of 10 percent.
Sales and use tax revenue of $584.6 million rose by $16.6 million, or 2.9 percent, in April. Motor vehicle receipts of $72 million shrank by $6.4 million in April, down by 8.2 percent from the prior year. Gross production collections in April generated $132.1 million and are down by 1.2 percent from a year ago.
Twelve-month collections are up by $2.86 billion, or 21.1 percent, compared to the previous 12 months with all four major revenue streams showing expansion ranging from 111.3 percent in gross production to 9.5 percent in motor vehicle taxes.
Other indicators
The Oklahoma unemployment rate in March was reported as 2.7 percent by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is up one-tenth of a percentage point from February. The U.S. jobless rate was listed as 3.6 percent in March, down from 3.8 percent in February.
The monthly Oklahoma Business Conditions Index dropped in April. The index for the month was set at 65.8, up from 69.7 in March. The outlook remains positive as numbers above 50 indicate expected expansion during the next three to six months.

OKLAHOMA CITY – March Gross Receipts to the Treasury point to accelerating economic expansion in Oklahoma, pushed along by wage growth and rising inflation, State Treasurer Randy McDaniel announced today.
March gross receipts of $1.38 billion are up by almost 23 percent compared to the same month of last year. That is a record high for March collections. Twelve-month receipts of $15.87 billion, also a record high, are up by more than 20 percent compared to the prior period.
“The level of growth we’ve seen recently shows the state economy is hitting on all cylinders, even when accounting for inflationary pressure,” Treasurer McDaniel said. “With unemployment at a record low, more Oklahomans are finding work, which is helping deliver exceptional economic results.”
The annual inflation rate hit 7.9 percent in February, up four-tenths of a percentage point from January. It is the highest rate since January of 1982. Combined energy prices are up 25.6 percent, while the cost of food for home consumption rose at an annual rate of 8.6 percent.
Gross production collections in March set a record monthly high, generating $165.3 million, up by 82 percent from March 2021. Remittances for the month are from January production when West Texas Intermediate crude oil averaged $83.22 per barrel and Henry Hub natural gas sold for $4.38 per million BTU. Meanwhile, oil and gas drilling and oilfield employment remain well below record highs set in the past decade.
March gross receipts grew by double digits for individual and corporate income tax, and sales and use tax, and gross production collections. Motor vehicle receipts were up by 3.6 percent.
Twelve-month collections rose by $2.72 billion, or 20.7 percent, compared to the previous 12 months with all four major revenue streams showing expansion ranging from 138.6 percent in gross production to 13.9 percent in motor vehicle taxes.
Other indicators
The Oklahoma unemployment rate in February was reported as 2.6 percent by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is down one-tenth of a percentage point from January. The U.S. jobless rate was listed as 3.8 percent in February, down from 4 percent in January.
The monthly Oklahoma Business Conditions Index rose slightly in March. The index for the month was set at 69.7, up from 68.1 in February. The outlook remains positive as numbers above 50 indicate expected expansion during the next three to six months.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Gross Receipts to the Treasury show Oklahoma’s economy is doing very well at the start of the new year, State Treasurer Randy McDaniel announced today.
January gross receipts of $1.5 billion are up by more than 27 percent compared to the same month of last year. Twelve-month receipts of $15.5 billion measure growth of more than 18 percent compared to the prior period.
Treasurer McDaniel said analysis shows the reasons behind the numbers include more than organic state economic expansion.
“A growing economy is always central to record-breaking receipts, but federal funds and inflation are helping push the numbers higher,” McDaniel said. “All of these factors should be considered this session as proposals impacting future state revenue and spending are discussed.”
Federal direct payments to taxpayers, along with aid to businesses during the pandemic, significantly boosted economic activity in Oklahoma. Inflation during the past year pushed prices up an average of 7 percent – the highest rate since 1982.
The gross receipts report for January shows substantial growth in all major revenue streams. Gross production collections jumped by 149.5 percent, combined individual and corporate receipts rose by 28 percent, and sales taxes were up 18.8 percent. Motor vehicle collections increased by 6.7 percent.
Of note are use tax collections for the month. Paid on out-of-state purchases including internet sales, January use tax receipts topped $100 million for the first time in state history and jumped by 13.9 percent. Use tax collections have risen steadily since the U.S. Supreme Court’s Wayfair decision in June 2018 that paved the way for easier collection of taxes on internet sales.
Twelve-month collections rose by $2.38 billion, or 18.1 percent, compared to the previous 12 months with all four major revenue streams showing expansion ranging from 108.1 percent in gross production receipts to 12.7 percent in motor vehicle taxes.
Other indicators
The Oklahoma Business Conditions Index for January anticipates continued economic growth in the new year. The January index was set at 59.6, down from 70.3 in December and 62.4 in November. However, numbers above 50 indicate expected expansion during the next three to six months.
The Oklahoma unemployment rate in December was reported as 2.3 percent by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The state’s jobless rate was down from 2.5 percent in November and from 4.5 percent in December 2020. The U.S. unemployment rate was set at 3.9 percent in December.

“State leaders have exercised fiscal discipline during the pandemic,” Treasurer Randy McDaniel said. “This announcement from a widely respected independent source is welcome news.”
For Immediate Release: April 14, 2021
Oklahoma Credit Outlook Improves
OKLAHOMA CITY – Saying Oklahoma state government has done well managing its finances during the pandemic, Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings has revised the state’s outlook from negative to stable, State Treasurer Randy McDaniel announced today.
S&P had placed the state on negative outlook at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic last year. With the revision announcement, the state’s current credit rating of AA was affirmed.
Treasurer McDaniel said the outlook change is encouraging and should help the state reduce interest costs on future bond issues.
“State leaders have exercised fiscal discipline during the pandemic,” McDaniel said. “This announcement from a widely respected independent source is welcome news.”
The S&P outlook change also anticipates responsible decision-making will continue.
The report states the revision is based, in part, on “the expectation that Oklahoma’s legislative and executive branches will reach consensus on actions to restore and maintain structural balance in future budgets and sustain a commitment to rebuilding reserves.”
The state’s primary reserve funds are the Constitutional Reserve Fund and the Revenue Stabilization Fund. They currently contain approximately $230 million, which is about 3 percent of general revenue appropriations. The combined balance topped $1 billion prior to the pandemic.
Other factors cited by S&P for its more favorable outlook include the state’s relatively low debt burden and its decade-long history of sufficient pension funding.
