New Tulsa arena brings $428K into tax coffers
In its first month of operation, the new BOK Center has provided $428,498 in sales tax revenue. An audit report obtained by the Tulsa World includes figures for five events held at the arena in September. Those were concerts by the Eagles, Kenny Chesney, American Idols and Rascal Flatts, along with a motivational seminar, which drew a collective 67,475 people to the arena. In Tulsa, a 8.517-cent sales tax is collected, of which 4.5 cents goes to the state, 1.017 cents goes to Tulsa County and 3 cents goes to the city. That means that from September's tax revenues, the BOK Center produced $266,399 for the state, $51,166 for the county and $150,933 for the city.
