Arizona's combined tax revenues down 5.6 percent since Q4 2018

Arizona collected $3.9 billion combined tax revenues for property, sales and gross receipts, and income taxes during the first quarter of 2019, a 5.6 percent decrease from the previous quarter when $4.1 billion was reported, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

The majority of the state’s tax revenue was collected through general sales and gross receipts taxes ($1.8 billion) and individual income taxes ($1.2 billion).

In addition to detailed tax revenue data from each state, the Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue includes an estimate of state and local government tax revenue at a national level.

The Census Bureau cautions that it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by the state governments.
