Lag: Figures are by month of distribution. DOR's Office of Tax Research page states that collections are generally one month after the activity and distributions two months after the activity, so sales_month = distribution month minus 2 (derived). Form 3 fallback receipts: sales_month = receipt month minus 1 (derived). DOR posts the Form 4 workbook several months after distribution, so the latest sales month is usually 7 to 9 months old.

They do not measure sales, income or activity in the area. Lag: A distribution is posted on the day it is paid, so the current month is partial until its last payment run; a month is complete once the following month has begun.
