The Total Annual Revenue is all income that a city received within its fiscal year

The Total General Operating Revenue is the Total Annual Revenue minus any revenue that is required to fund specific items by city, state, or federal law. For example, income received from the County Aid Road Trust fund distributions can only be used for road upkeep. The Total General Operating Revenue can never be more than or equal to the Total Annual Revenue.

Total revenue from minor traffic violations only; nothing else from the court.

To calculate the percentage on Form A15-1 divide the total revenue from minor traffic violations by the General Operating Revenue and multiply the result by 100%. If the percentage is over 20% then the overage is due to the Department of Revenue

Example: If the total revenue from minor traffic violations was $5,000 and the General Operating Revenue was $20,000, you would take 5,000 divided by 20,000 to get 0.25. Then take 0.25 and multiply it by 100 to get 25%. Next you would take the 25% and subtract 20% to get 5%. Next, multiple the General Operating Revenue ($20,000) by the 5% (0.05). $1,000 is the amount of the overage so it would be paid to the Department of Revenue.

There are a few reasons why an Addendum might be incomplete. Review the addendum for each of the below to determine if one of the reasons apply.

In accordance with Section 479.362, RSMo, the Missouri Department of Revenue received notification that your political subdivision did not file the required addendum. If your town/city does not receive money from any courts, contact the Missouri Office of State Court Administration (OSCA) and Missouri State Auditor’s Office.

The Missouri State Auditor has notified the Missouri Department of Revenue that your political subdivision did not file the Municipal Court Certification, as required by Section 479.360, RSMo.

If the fiscal year being asked for is after the time that the municipal court closed, contact the Missouri Office of State Court Administration (OSCA) and Missouri State Auditor’s Office to let them know.

If the fiscal year being asked for is the last year that the municipal court was open, you will need to complete Form MCC 17-1 and submit it to the Office of the State Auditor.

For example, if the notice is requesting a form for fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, and the court closed in July 2020, the form will need to be filed for the period of time it was open. If the court closed in July 2019, the form is not required to be filed. If this is the case, contact the Missouri Office of State Court Administration (OSCA) and Missouri State Auditor’s Office to let them know.
