    2013 Revenue Collections Memo Feb 2013

    Uploaded by

    January net general fund revenues totaled $1.820 billion, exceeding the forecast by $140 million (8.3%). Year-to-date revenues are $254 million above projections. Individual income tax withholding was $30 million more than expected and gross sales tax receipts were $6 million above forecasts. However, corporate income tax revenues were $20 million below forecasts primarily due to larger than expected January refunds. The revenue variance likely reflects high income taxpayers accelerating income into 2012 due to anticipated higher 2013 federal tax rates.

    DATE: TO: FROM:

    February 11, 2012 Governor Mark Dayton Jim Schowalter, Commissioner

    SUBJECT: January Revenue Collections Net general fund revenues totaled $1.820 billion in January, $140 million (8.3 percent) more than forecast. Fiscal year-to-date revenues now exceed Novembers forecast by $254 million. Individual income tax withholding in January was $30 million more than forecast and gross sales tax receipts were $6 million above projections. MONTHLY RECEIPTS FOR JANUARY 2013 ($ MILLIONS) Est. Act. Var. INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX SALES TAX CORPORATE INCOME TAX OTHER REVENUE TOTAL 1,020.2 472.6 41.6 146.0 1,680.4 1,157.1 490.1 21.8 151.0 1,820.0 136.9 17.5 -19.8 5.0 139.6

    All results are preliminary and subject to revision. Monthly revenue variances should always be interpreted with great caution since some revenue variances may reflect only differences in the timing of receipts or the payment of refunds and not a change in tax liability or underlying economic activity. For example, about 75 percent of the $20 million negative variance in the corporate income tax comes from larger than anticipated January refunds. The large variance in the income tax comes primarily from fourth quarter individual income tax estimated payments due January 15. It probably reflects an acceleration of income into tax year 2012 by high income taxpayers in anticipation of higher federal tax rates in 2013. Variances for individual income tax refunds and miscellaneous payments are no longer being reported in MMBs January revenue report. As electronic filing has become more common the number of individual returns filed and processed in January has increased and become highly variable. Beginning this year January refund and miscellaneous payment variances will be treated in the same way as variances in those items in February through May have been in past years and reported only after the processing of timely tax year 2012 returns is complete. A more complete report covering fiscal year 2013 year-to-date receipts will be included in Minnesota Management and Budgets February Forecast. cc: Yvonne Prettner-Solon, Lt.
