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.

Afternoon Revenue Update

Today the Franchise Tax Board is expected to bring in its highest level of daily income so far for the month: $197 million. However, due to refunds issued for personal income, the day is expected to total $120.7 million, raising the monthly total to $1.49 billion. This will help with the month-end total, especially when the expected surge of revenues comes in next week during the 16th and 17th.

Year-to-Date Revenues Top Projections by $1.5 billion


California banked $1.5 billion more than expected at the end of the first week of April. For the period July 1, 2013 through April 8, the State’s “Big Three” revenue sources -- personal income, corporate, and sales taxes -- generated $65.0 billion versus the $63.5 billion that was predicted based on the Governor’s Budget released in January.
Personal income taxes accounted for the bulk of the positive variance, with a margin of $1.03 billion, or 102%, of the forecast. Corporate taxes beat estimates by about $550 million and were 14% ahead of estimates. Only retail sales taxes fell short of estimates, although the miss was a relatively small $80 million, or 0.5%.

Capital gains, earned primarily by wealthier Californians, are helping to fuel the State’s personal income tax receipts. Not so long ago, high-income taxpayers were required to make payments on a certain steady basis throughout the year. During the State’s cash shortages during the last 10 years, the payment schedule accelerated. The Franchise Tax Board advises taxpayers with the following: California differs from federal law. To avoid an estimate penalty, taxpayers must pay at least 30 percent by April 15 and 40 percent by June 16 of this year and 30 percent by January 15, 2015.
