The city of Hutchinson and Reno County both shattered all-time sales tax records with their latest receipts. Local officials indicated they had not reviewed the figures in detail, so they couldn’t comment on why. However, it’s likely that higher prices from continuing inflation, resulting in additional taxes collected, were a factor. State data show the city received a cumulative $1.846 million in sales taxes in September. Retailers collected the taxes on July sales. That was about $412,000 more than was received in September last year, a nearly 29% jump.
