In May, as a pandemic-induced recession loomed, North Carolina budget officials scaled back tax revenue estimates and braced for a shortfall that could be even worse.
Seven months later, there’s a welcome surprise. State tax revenues have exceeded those grim projections.
Revenue in fiscal year 2019-20 (which ended on June 30) surpassed the forecast by $513 million (2.2 percent). In the first five months of this fiscal year, General Fund revenue is up over the same period in the last fiscal year by $426 million (4.4 percent). Sales tax revenue – boosted by a tax on online sales that have soared during the pandemic – is up significantly.
