Caveats

  • State government tax collections only, in current dollars (thousands); local property and local-option sales taxes are excluded.
  • Fiscal year windows differ by state: most end June 30, but Alabama and Michigan end September 30, New York ends March 31, and Texas ends August 31.
  • This dataset starts at fiscal year 2005, when the Census Bureau redefined its state government finance classification; earlier years use a different, non-comparable classification.
  • T14 (Pari-mutuels Sales Tax) was folded into T18 (Sports Betting Sales Tax) beginning fiscal year 2023.
  • The tax-type breakdown uses the source's detail categories only, not its subtotal categories; the published total is not a sum of these categories, and a suppressed cell is omitted, never recorded as zero.

Caveats

  • The Tax Commission publishes only the sales tax rate currently in effect, not a rate history; this dataset records that rate for the calendar year it was retrieved, so a gap year means no puller run happened that year, not that the rate changed.
  • Idaho's use tax rate is set at the same percentage as the sales tax rate and is not stored as a separate figure.
