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 to 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) |
Letter
To The Editor

The Citizens for
Reliable Gas Service would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the
citizens of Collinsville for their vote of confidence in Tuesday nights
election allowing Oklahoma Natural Gas Company to remain the natural gas
service provider to the City. The citizens decision to keep ONG
as their gas service provider is a victory for safe and reliable gas service.
We believe this decision is also a victory for the City as it moves forward
to achieve Collinsvilles goals for continued growth and prosperity.
In addition, the Committee would like to recognize Ted Wright for his coverage of the campaign on his website www.cvilleok.com. Ted spent many hours attending meetings presented by both sides and even longer hours writing the articles for his website informing the Citizens of Collinsville of the many details of the issues. Sincerely, Kyle Smalygo, David Chester, Jay Crutchfield, and Sherry Neph Citizens for Reliable
Gas Service |
