Net sales and use taxes were slightly lower than expected, while net personal and corporate income taxes and net miscellaneous taxes were all higher than expected.
Nebraska has raised $5.153 billion in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. That’s 11.1% above the forecast of $4.637 billion.
The projections were made by the Nebraska Economic Forecasting Advisory Board at its last meeting in February. Nebraska lawmakers and governors use the projections to determine how much tax they have.
