State Tax Collections by Type of Tax

These numbers will differ from those shown on other documents for several reasons:

1. These tables show totals for all funds. Some other sources limit their collections numbers to a single fund, such as the state’s General Fund. In many cases, collections from one particular tax are deposited in several different funds.
2. These tables show only state tax collections. For example, the sales tax collections do not include local sales taxes, and the mortgage and deed taxes do not include the 3% of tax collections retained by counties.
3. Tax categories may be more narrowly or more broadly defined on these tables than elsewhere.
   1. Tax categories used in reports from Management and Budget (MMB) are sometimes more broadly defined, combining several of the taxes shown here into a single category. For example, MMB totals for the General Sales & Use Tax include the 2.5% gross receipts tax on alcoholic beverages, the 6.2% motor vehicle rental tax, and the solid waste management tax.
   2. Tax categories used in reports by Management and Budget (MMB) are sometimes more narrowly defined, excluding items included in the totals shown here. For example, the cigarette and tobacco excise taxes reported by MMB do not include health impact fees.
   3. Tables shown elsewhere on this website may also define tax categories more broadly than in these tables. For example, sales tax totals may include the motor vehicle sales tax as well as the general sales tax and corporate tax totals may include the taconite occupation tax.
