Foundation, constituting the largest annual
increase in state tax receipts since 1985 (see
Charts 1 and 4).
In his latest Special Report, titled State
Tax Rates and Collections in 1993, Dr. Arthur
Hall notes that from FY 1992 to FY 1993 state
tax collections grew 3.7 percentage points (or
1.7 times) faster than personal income. In
comparison, between 1983 and 1993 state tax
collections grew at an inflation-adjusted annual
average of 1.1 percentage points (or 1.4 times)
faster than personal income.
Between 1992 and 1993, Alaska (a special
case because of oil drilling) saw the highest tax
growth relative to personal income growth,
followed by Mississippi, Colorado, North
Dakota, and Tennessee. In contrast, Nebraska,
Idaho, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Montana constitute the top five states where
personal income grew faster than state
taxation. (If Washington, D.C., were a state, it
would rank third, ahead of Pennsylvania. See
Chart 2.)
Among those state taxes and fees that saw
the fastest revenue growth between 1992 and
1993 were property taxes (22.7 percent
growth), corporate income taxes (13 percent),
public utility taxes (12.8 percent), severance
taxes (10.9 percent), and license fees (10.6
percent). In contrast, state collections from
