Oklahoma’s oil and gas revenues aren’t improving

 

Oklahoma’s tax revenue for January rose nearly 8%, but State Treasurer Todd Russ says unfortunately, gross production tax revenue from oil and gas in the state fell more than 12%.

All tax sources total $1.51 billion for January, up $107 million, or 7.6 percent, when comparing to January of last year. Revenue from the state’s Gross Production Tax or “GPT” dropped to $12.8 million, down by 12.4 percent, when comparing to last month.

Declining tax revenue from oil and gas production, continues to push total gross receipts revenues down while all other categories are up for the month.

Total receipts for the last 12 months total $16.92 billion, a decrease of $555 million, or 3.2 percent, when comparing revenue from the previous year.
