The U.S. Census Bureau released on April 15 new tables and files from its 2025 Annual Survey of State Government Tax Collections, providing detailed information on taxes imposed and collected by state governments and the District of Columbia.
The release is significant for policymakers, researchers, and the public who use these data to inform tax policy decisions and economic analysis.
According to the Census Bureau, the survey covers five main categories of taxes as well as up to 25 subcategories. The information is used by Congress, federal agencies, state and local governments, educational institutions, research organizations, and others to examine tax policy issues. It also contributes to estimates for gross domestic product as well as national income and product accounts.
Additional technical documentation about the Annual Survey of State Government Tax Collections is available for those seeking more details about the methodology or specific data points.
No separate news release accompanied this announcement; it was issued in a tip sheet format.
