ONG
Tax Question?
|
| I noticed on my ONG
gas bill that I'm being charged the wrong county sales tax. I live in
Tulsa Co. (1.017%) but they are charging me for Rogers Co. (1.5%). I called
them and they said they show Collinsville as being in Rogers Co. and refused
to listen to me. I also noticed that I'm being charged a gross receipts
tax (they say this goes to Collinsville City that is not the problem)
which they are also charging city & county taxes on. Can they charge
tax on a tax?
I wonder how many other people in Collinsville are being charged too much taxes. Susan B. (Aug. 11, 2005) |
| Ted Note: Susan, it may be a few days before I can dig into this one. Parts of Collinsville to the west are in Rogers County but the majority of Collinsville addresses are in Tulsa County. Maybe another cvilleok.com viewer can help out on the proper tax rate for each or taxes on a tax (or franchise fee) |
I have yet to receive any email on the questions raised Aug 11th (right). -- Ted Aug 27th
I'm guessing the gas franchise fee (2% -vs-4%) will be on city agenda soon. -- Ted
