This indicator tracks the total amount of money collected by the federal government through various taxes, including individual income, corporate, and social insurance taxes. It is a fundamental component of the national budget and reflects the overall health of the economy and labor market. Rising tax revenues often indicate strong corporate profits and high employment levels, potentially leading to a lower fiscal deficit.
The figure is calculated by the Treasury Department based on actual cash receipts received from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other collecting agencies during the fiscal period.
