Fiscal distributions, not economic indicators: these are the dollars the Florida Department of Revenue paid this government in each month, after the state's own deductions and adjustments, on the Department's payment schedule. They do not measure sales, income or activity in the area. Group totals add every line the Department printed in those months, except its net lines, whose components are already counted. A type paid quarterly or irregularly is summed over the same months.

Checked against the Department's annual summaries

19 figures match to the dollar, 0 differ, each with the months that differ named

The Department's CST workbook prints each payee's net communications services tax by local fiscal year. The ledger is summed over the same payees and months, with the conventions each tab uses (a fuel tax tab counts by collection month, one month before payment; some Form 4 years leave the quarterly surtax lines out). A figure that still differs is published with the months where the Department's own monthly tab and its ledger disagree. The build fails if a new difference appears.
