Statement from mayor Flaggs on record tax revenue collections in Vicksburg

“I’m proud to announce record tax revenues within the City of Vicksburg for the months of March, April and May of 2021. For our 2% sale stax, March and April collections were the two largest we’ve ever seen at $234,927.18 and $234,512.50

For our overall sales tax, March was the highest collection we’ve seen since 2014 at $795,080.11.

For our gaming tax, April was the largest collection we’ve ever seen at $870,193.40 and May was the second highest collection since 2016 at $641,315.31.

These record-setting collections are a result of Vicksburg residents shopping at home and our thriving post-pandemic tourism industry. I’ve never been more proud of Vicksburg and it’s future.”
