Total collections in the IS months preceding July, 1946, represent s 6.2 per cent increase over receipts for fiscal 1945 according to calculations based on bureau of census figures. This year's total also marks s 34.7 per cent gain over 1941 collections, and exceeds 1937 collections by 77.2 per cent. Payroll, general sales, motor fuel and income taxes account for >1J per cent of all 1946 state tax revenues. Payroll taxes alone accounted for 17.4 per cent of state tax receipts, totalling 1.03 billion dollars. Though the biggest single item la 1946 collections, this figure is still somewhat less than last year's 1.25 billion dollar total. T%e decline is accounted for by reduction of overtime pay, shift of war-workers to lower-paid jobs, and effect of strikes throughout industry. | Motor fuel tax receipts, following termination of gasoline and tire rationing, surged upward to second place in nationwide state tax oollections for 1946 with a 900 million dollar total, greatest since 1942s 942 million dollar all-time high. The 1946 total amounts to 15.1 per cent of the total state tax revenues for the year.
