Combined tax revenues in California decreased 32.5% in the third quarter of 2024 in comparison to the previous quarter, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

Overall, California collected $56.7 billion in taxes during the third quarter of 2024, compared to $84 billion in the previous quarter.

The majority of the state’s tax revenue was collected through income taxes ($31.8 billion) and general sales and gross receipts taxes ($18.3 billion).

In addition to detailed tax revenue data from each state, the Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue includes an estimate of state and local government tax revenue at a national level.

The Census Bureau cautions that it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by the state governments.
