3. Revenue Sharing to Cities and Counties For FY12, the official Estimate of Revenue Sharing to cities was: TPT: $382.5 million ($76 per capita) URS: $424.4 million ($84 per capita) Note: The population used is the 2010 Decennial Census. The URS is subject to a minimum population of 1,500.

4. Revenue Sharing to Cities and Counties For FY12, the official Estimate of Revenue Sharing to counties was: TPT: $619.8 million ($97 per capita) Note: The population used is the 2010 Decennial Census.

5. Revenue Sharing to Cities and Counties • My current estimate for FY12 for TPT revenue sharing to cities is $400 million. • The URS estimate is unchanged. • For counties, my current estimate for FY12 is $645 million.

6. Components of Revenue Sharing • What makes up the pool of money that is shared with the counties and the cities?

7. Components of TPT Revenue Sharing Using the Retail category as an example, the current state tax rate for retail is 6.6%. Of that: • 2% goes to the Distribution Base pool • 3% is Non-shared • 0.6% goes to Education Tax • 1.0% goes to the Temporary Tax

8. Components of TPT Revenue Sharing Of the Distribution Base, • 25% goes to the Cities • 40.51% goes to the Counties • 34.49% goes to the state general fund

For the larger contributors: • Utilities, Communications and Contracting contribute 1% to the Distribution Base. • Restaurants & Bars, Amusements, Retail, Personal Property Rentals contribute 2% to the Distribution Base.

10. Components of TPT Revenue Sharing Mining Severance contributes 2% of it’s 2.5% rate to the Distribution Base. Hotel/Motel contributes 2.75% to the Distribution Base.

11. Components of TPT Revenue Sharing Of course, the volume of activity in each category factored by the percentage contributing to the Distribution Base is ultimately what dictates the pool of money available for revenue sharing to cities, towns and counties

13. Components of TPT Revenue Sharing In FY11, the Retail category component comprised 61.5% of the Distribution Base pool. In FY05 it was 61.6%; in FY10 it was 60.1%. It is safe to say that the Retail category is, and will continue to be the largest contributor to the Distribution Base Pool.

14. Components of TPT Revenue Sharing In FY11, the Contracting category component comprised 6% of the Distribution Base pool. In FY05 it was 10.6% and in FY10 it was 6.5%. It is safe to say that the Contracting category has diminished it’s role as a strong contributor to the Distribution Base pool.

15. Components of TPT Revenue Sharing The other strong contributors to the Distribution Base during FY11: • Mining Severance 2.2% • Utilities 6.3% • Restaurant & Bars 12.5% • Rental of Personal Property 4.1% • Hotel/Motel 3.8%

16. Components of Urban Revenue Sharing Urban Revenue Sharing (URS) is comprised of 15% of the Net* Income Tax collections from two years prior. So, for FY12, the URS base is the net income tax collections from FY10. The income tax collections from FY12 will be distributed in FY14. *after refunds
