State’s Tax Revenue Falling Short
Utah’s main sources of tax revenue are lagging behind projections for the year. The state is currently 1.6% behind estimates, according to the state’s fiscal analysts. If things don’t change, that could lead to a $148 million deficit at the end of the fiscal year. State lawmakers recently approved a $100 million tax cut based on budget projections.
