Gross MN Lottery Sales Tax?
Published:
Updated:
We've calculated the Sales Tax for years 1995 to 2015 at 6.500%.
But, in 2009 the sales tax changed to 6.875%.
Something seems askew.
| Year | Sales | Sales Tax | Calculated Tax % |
| 1994 | - | - | - |
| 1995 | $335,875,077 | $21,831,883 | 6.500% |
| 1996 | $375,650,142 | $24,417,263 | 6.500% |
| 1997 | $368,516,685 | $23,953,615 | 6.500% |
| 1998 | $372,872,371 | $24,236,714 | 6.500% |
| 1999 | $390,011,807 | $25,350,752 | 6.500% |
| 2000 | $397,286,425 | $25,823,618 | 6.500% |
| 2001 | $366,183,765 | $23,801,945 | 6.500% |
| 2002 | $377,132,055 | $24,513,584 | 6.500% |
| 2003 | $351,816,604 | $22,868,079 | 6.500% |
| 2004 | $386,918,771 | $25,149,720 | 6.500% |
| 2005 | $408,010,418 | $26,520,677 | 6.500% |
| 2006 | $449,710,663 | $29,231,193 | 6.500% |
| 2007 | $422,611,712 | $27,469,761 | 6.500% |
| 2008 | $461,522,825 | $29,998,984 | 6.500% |
| 2009 | $481,245,133 | $31,280,934 | 6.500% |
| 2010 | $498,968,721 | $32,432,967 | 6.500% |
| 2011 | $504,436,409 | $32,788,367 | 6.500% |
| 2012 | $520,033,537 | $33,802,180 | 6.500% |
| 2013 | $560,397,584 | $36,425,843 | 6.500% |
| 2014 | $531,515,817 | $34,548,528 | 6.500% |
| 2015 | $546,867,969 | $35,546,418 | 6.500% |
| 2016 | $592,900,000 | ? | ? |
| 2017 | - | - | - |
If the 6.875% is applicable to the lottery back in 2009, then the state is out about $13,600,000 from 2009 to 2015; possibly more if 2016 and 2017 are figured in... just a note, but maybe an audit is needed?
