The August sales tax report for the City of Dewey is in, and it is safe to say there was a good return.

Dewey City Manager Kevin Trease said they received $75,083 in sales tax last month. He said that is a 13.21-percent increase over the same month from last year. Looking back at it, Trease said the reason they saw the increase was because a couple of businesses in Dewey caught up on back sale tax.

That being said, the tobacco tax and use tax collections also went up. The tobacco tax collected $638 while the use tax collected $9,568.
