The Department of Revenue of the state has written to the city of McHenry in explanation of tax collection variations which may occur in connection with the Municipal Tax. One reason given is that some taxpayers file returns on a quarterly basis, and the month in which the quarterly return is filed the tax will be higher. Also, some taxpayers file returns monthly but tax paid cannot be compared with the preceding month because of seasonal business. The third reason is that some taxpayers file returns on an annual basis, so tax will be included in city collections for the month of January only.
