Monthly Tax and Fee Collections in New York State Since 1996

New York State's Department of Taxation and Finance publishes monthly collections data for state, local, and local purpose taxes and fees. The dataset provides a history of net collections, adjusted for refunds and accounting changes, starting from April 1996. It is produced monthly by the Department.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal trends in `Amount Collected` by `Tax Type` and `Month of Collections`.
• Compare annual revenue totals by summing `Amount Collected` grouped by `Fiscal Year Ending` and `Tax or Fee`.
• Model the impact of economic cycles on specific `Tax Type` revenues using the monthly time-series data.
• Rank revenue sources by sorting `Tax or Fee` categories based on their aggregated `Amount Collected`.

Strengths

• Includes multiple tax and fee categories for comparative analysis

Limitations

• Amounts are reported in thousands, requiring conversion for unit analysis
