Of the total income tax revenue for fiscal year 1987, $2,302,500,000 was produced by the individual
income tax and $237,926,000 by the corporate income tax, representing increases of $382,080,000 and
$17,752,000, respectively, compared to the prior year. The increase in individual income tax revenues of 19.9
percent over the prior year is attributable to population growth, a higher personal income level for the State's
taxpayers, and a higher than usual capital gains taxable income as a result of changes to the tax rates in the
Federal Tax Reform Act of 1986. The increase in the corporate income tax revenues of 8.1 percent from the
prior year is attributable to the improvement in the national economy.
The retail sales and use taxes increased $112,860,000 or 9.5 percent over the previous year which is also
attributable to the improvement in the national economy.
Other taxes increased $109,314,000 or 17.0 percent over the previous year which are primarily
attributable to the higher than usual capital gains transactions.
Revenues from charges for services increased $46,121,000 or 19.3 percent from 1986. This increase
resulted primarily from an increase in recoveries of Medical Assistance payments.
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:
