Of the total income tax revenue for fiscal year 1984, $1,628,489,000 was produced by the individual
income tax and $175,450,000 by the corporate income tax, representing increases of $199,088,000 and
$46,336,000, respectively, compared to the prior year. The increase in individual income tax revenues of 13.9
percent over the prior year is attributable to population growth and a higher personal income level for the
States taxpayers. The increase in the corporate income tax revenues of 35.9 percent from the prior year is
attributable to the improvement in the national economy.

The retail sales and use taxes increased $123,197,000 or 14.2 percent over the previous year which is
also attributable to the improvement in the national economy.

The motor vehicle taxes and fees increased $117,328,000 or 22.6 percent over the previous year. The
increase was due to a rise in the motor vehicle fuels tax rate from 11 cents to 13V£ cents per gallon and a
continued upturn in revenues from the motor vehicle titling tax.

Other licenses and fees increased $12,899,000 or 22.4 percent over 1983. This increase was primarily
attributable to increases in revenues earned by the clerks of courts.

Revenues from charges for services increased $43,575,000 or 23.5 percent over 1983. This increase
resulted primarily from additional federal revenues earned for reimbursement of hospital costs for medicare
patients in state hospitals.

Interest and other investment income decreased $12,200,000 or 12.6 percent from the previous year.
This decline resulted from a decrease in the amounts available for investments during the year.

Other revenues increased $23,540,000 or 26.9 percent over 1983. This increase resulted primarily from
commission on licenses and permits issued which were formerly classified as other taxes.

Changes in levels of expenditures (amounts expressed in thousands) for major functions from the
previous year (excluding capital projects) are shown in the following tabulation:
