Arizona collected $2.3 billion in sales and gross receipt taxes during the 1st quarter of 2019, a 2.8 percent increase over the same period the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

In Q1 2018, $2.3 billion was collected.

Sales and gross receipt taxes include taxes on such things as license, alcohol, amusements, insurance, fuel, parimutuels, public utilities and tobacco products.

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.

Overall, Arizona collected $3.5 billion in combined tax revenues in Q1 2019.
