Of the $17.8 billion in taxes collected by Arizona in 2020, $25.1 million came from taxes on general corporation licenses, a 36.8 percent decrease from the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of State Government Tax Collections (STC).

Arizona collected $39.7 million in taxes on general corporation licenses in 2019.

The STC survey includes five broad tax categories and up to 25 subcategories. Data is gathered from all 50 state governments and all dependent state-level entities.

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

Below is a breakdown of how taxes were classified by subcategory and how much was collected.
