Tax revenues in New York were close to expected levels in July after coming up short in May and June, according to a new report from state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
Tax collections totaled $3.9 billion in July, less than 0.1 percent above projections. Through the first four months of the state’s fiscal year, tax receipts were slightly higher than projections, but down 0.8 percent from last year.
The main reasons for the year-over-year decline were a 1.4 percent drop in personal income tax collections and a drop of $42.3 million, or 0.9 percent in consumption and use tax revenues, according to the comptroller’s report. Collections of other taxes rose $16.9 million, or 1.7 percent, through the end of July.

Our month-to-month collections have been highly variable, and we need to be prepared for surprises, good or bad.”
