Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety with a holomorphic vector field with isolated zero set $Z$. From the results of Carrell and Lieberman there exists a filtration ${{F}_{0}}\subset {{F}_{1}}\subset \cdot \cdot \cdot$ of $A\left( Z \right)$, the ring of $\mathbb{C}$-valued functions on $Z$, such that $\text{Gr }A\left( Z \right)\cong {{H}^{*}}\left( X,\mathbb{C} \right)$ as graded algebras. In this note, for a smooth projective toric variety and a vector field generated by the action of a 1-parameter subgroup of the torus, we work out this filtration. Our main result is an explicit connection between this filtration and the polytope algebra of $X$.
