State Tax Commissioner Ryan
Rauschenberger said on April 8 that
North Dakota's taxable sales and
purchases for the fourth quarter of
2014 had a noticeable increase.
Taxable sales and purchases for
October, November and December
were $7.8 billion, a 15.5 percent in-
crease over those months in 2013.
"It is remarkable that we continue
to see growth on this level,"
Rauschenberger said in a prepared
statement. "Such strong growth is all
the more remarkable when you con-
sider that oil prices had already
begun a significant decline during the
fourth quarter of 2014."
North Dakota oil prices were 27
