State and Local Tax Revenue increased slightly compared to Q1 2009

by CalculatedRisk

The Census Bureau reported this morning that state and local tax revenues grew 0.8% in the first quarter 2010 compared to Q1 2009. This was the second straight quarter of growth compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

Individual income tax increased 2.7% compared to Q1 2009.

General sales tax revenues increased 0.3%.

Corporate income tax declined 5.4%.

Property taxes declined 0.6% (the first year-over-same quarter decline since 2003).

<...>

Most of the decline in revenue during the recession came from sharp declines in personal income and sales taxes.

1. In most of Texas the state collects a dollar for every 12.99 purchase.

I know because I returned something the other day that was 12.99.
