Cities are asking Missouri to audit how St. Louis County has distributed millions in sales tax dollars after several cities caught the county underpaying them over the summer.
The move would scrutinize how the county shares roughly $200 million annually in sales tax revenue with 87 municipalities, from large communities like Florissant to retail giants like Brentwood and small suburbs of a few hundred people, like Bella Villa.
Under a complex, state-mandated formula, the county each month pools proceeds from a 1% countywide sales tax, and some portion of a .25% local option tax in some cities, and distributes shares based on population and other factors.
The sharing has long frustrated some retail rich-cities that felt the system wasn't fair.
