California State Controller John Chiang offers this daily tax tracker to follow personal income taxes, sales and use taxes and corporate taxes -- the three major sources of revenue for the State.

The site will be updated regularly throughout each business day. Preliminary posts use dollar figures from tax administration agencies, while the following day the Controller will post reconciled (actual cash) figures. The latest figures are always available via direct download. Preliminary sales tax figures, along with personal income tax withholdings will be available by 10:30 a.m., followed by total personal income and corporate tax receipts, along with final sales tax numbers between 1:30 and 4:00 p.m. the same business day.

The chart on the right of this screen tracks the cumulative total of income, sales and corporate tax and compares it against estimated benchmarks for the month.

Corporate Tax Receipts Up

Although corporate taxes are the smallest of California’s three major revenue engines, they are likely to exceed $8.0 billion for fiscal year 2013-2014 and are surpassing projections made as part of the Governor’s Budget submitted in January.  Numbers for the year to date have been running about $0.7 billion or 13% above those forecasts. 

The pickup in corporate taxes reflects the economic recovery that has boosted company earnings nationally and in the state.  The period of large write-offs from losses incurred during the recession has also ended. 

It is good news to see that corporate taxes are no longer stalling.
