Initiatives and Improvements to the Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue. Governments Division Report Series

摘要

The Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue (Q-Tax) provides the most current data available, on a national basis, on government tax revenue. The survey provides estimates of total state and local tax revenue, as well as detailed tax revenue data for individual states. The survey consists of three parts: the survey of local property tax collections, the survey of local non-property taxes, and the survey of state tax collections. In 2007, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report with recommendations for the U.S. Census Bureaus Governments Division; one recommendation specifically addressed needed changes to the Q-Tax survey.
