Net tax collections for the state of Georgia were down almost $2.68 billion, or three percent compared to March 2022.

Much of the revenue loss came through Individual income taxes, where tax collections fell by over $400 million dollars, or 25 percent compared to last when collections total nearly 160 billion.

Sale and Use tax, corporate income tax, and motor fuel taxes all showed increases.
