The Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue provides quarterly estimates of state and local government tax revenue at a national level, as well as detailed tax revenue data for individual states. This quarterly survey has been conducted continuously since 1962. The information contained in this survey is the most current information available on a nationwide basis for government tax collections.
The Local Non-property Tax Survey has been redesigned. A new sample was designed and selected to replace the nonprobability sample used in the past. The first quarter for 2012 presents data from the new sample. Estimates released in the past used the old methodology. We have provided a report that contains the bridge between the old and new units for the fourth quarter of 2010 through the first quarter of 2012.

Revisions reflect tax collection amounts obtained from three general sources. State and local government respondents have submitted revisions to amounts as originally reported. In other cases, governments have reported data, which we used to replace data that were previously imputed or estimated. Finally, some of the revisions were compiled from government sources, both published and unpublished. Current revisions are noted in each table by an "R" or, for Table 3, by a label next to the applicable figure, for appropriate quarters.
