Connecticut collected $22.5 billion in taxes in 2022, a 1.9 percent increase from the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of State Government Tax Collections (STC).
Most tax revenue came from income taxes ($13.3 billion) and sales and gross receipts taxes ($8.2 billion).
The STC survey includes five broad tax categories and up to 25 subcategories. Data is gathered from all 50 state governments and all dependent state-level entities.
The Census Bureau sets the tax classifications among the survey categories and cautions they may differ from the classifications set by the state governments.
