The U.S. Census Bureau released on April 15 new tables and files from its 2025 Annual Survey of State Government Tax Collections, which detail taxes imposed and collected by state governments and the District of Columbia. The data include information across five main tax categories and up to 25 subcategories.
The release is significant because it provides a comprehensive look at how much revenue states collect from various types of taxes, supporting analysis by lawmakers, researchers, and the public.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, these statistics are used by Congress, federal agencies, state and local governments, educational institutions, research organizations, and members of the public to examine and develop tax policy as well as inform gross domestic product estimates and national income accounts.
For those seeking more details about how the survey is conducted or how to interpret its results, technical documentation is available through the U.S. Census Bureau’s resources.
No separate news release accompanied this data publication; it was distributed as a tip sheet only.
