State collects $794.5 million in taxes in May, a record

June 2, 2012 By O. Kay Henderson

State tax collections over the past 11 months are running more than six percent ahead of the same period a year ago. 

In the month of May alone, Iowa tax revenue reached an all-time high — $794.5 million.

State sales tax receipts in May were nearly eight percent higher than May of last year. Personal income tax payments to the state are about four-and-a-half percent ahead of last year. April 30th was the deadline for filing 2011 personal income tax payments to the state.

A three-member panel of experts had predicted state tax collections would be up by two-point-six percent, so actual growth is far ahead of that pace. It also means the state’s healthy surplus will grow even larger when the state’s fiscal year ends June 30.
