December 2007 was the first month that the department used a new computer system to process individual
income tax. Some of the reports necessary to provide Tax Facts information are still under development.
Those sections have been pulled from this report. Once the information is available it will be sent out.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Federal Employee Retirement Contribution Project (FERC)
Kerr vs. ADOR or FERC, a Supreme Court tax settlement case has resulted in the distribution of one refund
to individual income taxpayers during August 2008. This refund totaled $810.10. Attorney payments are not
included in the refund amount and total $203.00 for the month. Refunds issued as a result of the FERC
case are not included in the total refunds listed in neither the “Individual Income Tax Receipts” section above
nor the “Average Individual Income Tax Refund” section later mentioned in this publication.
*The amount shown as refunded may differ from AFIS totals due to timing issues.

Withholding
Withholding payments are received from employers and applied towards a specific quarter for the
designated year. Information is gathered for 15 months for any given quarter. For example, from January
2006 through March 2007, $907.1 million was received for the first quarter of 2006. The latest complete
quarter (15 months of information has been compiled) is the second quarter of 2007, which shows an
increase of 1.21% in withholding payments over the second quarter of 2006. Growth in quarters for which
information is still being gathered is as follows:
3rd Quarter 2007
4th Quarter 2007

5.0%
(1.93%)

1st Quarter 2008
2nd Quarter 2008
3rd Quarter 2008

(0.04%)
1.67%
(2.89%)

The current choices for withholding are 0%, 10%, 19%, 23%, 25%, 31% or 37% as the percent of federal
taxes to be withheld for state taxes. The 0% option is only available to those individuals who had no liability
in the prior tax year and expect no tax liability for the current year.

The figures for the 2007 returns are most meaningful when compared to 2006 returns received during the
same period of time in the previous year. Through August 2007, the Department of Revenue received
86,203 documents with a fiscal year-end of 2006. Compared to 2007 documents, the Department has seen
a 9.5% increase in the number of corporate returns processed at this point of time in the calendar year.

Urban Revenue Sharing Returned to Cities/Towns
Incorporated cities and towns receive a share of net individual and corporate income tax collections, called
Urban Revenue Sharing. The amount of money to be distributed during Fiscal Year 2007/08 is 15.0 of net
proceeds from Fiscal Year 2005/06 income tax. Amounts returned for August 2008 are shown on Table 2,
at the end of this report.

August 2008 Tax Facts

TRANSACTION PRIVILEGE, SEVERANCE AND USE TAXES
Transaction Privilege, Severance and Use Tax Receipts
The Arizona transaction privilege and severance tax consists of many classifications of tax. These
classifications include but are not limited to retail, contracting, amusements, restaurants and bars,
hotel/motel and mining severance tax. The collections for all such categories are divided, per statute, into
two parts. One part is called distribution base; the other part is known as non-shared. The division of
collections into these two parts varies from category to category. For example, retail sales tax is 40%
distribution base and 60% non-shared. In contrast, contracting is 20% distribution base and 80% nonshared. Use tax is 100% non-shared. At the close of each month, transaction privilege and severance tax
collections are aggregated by category and total distribution base and non-shared portions are calculated.
The amount shown as "Use Tax" in the table below includes use tax, use inventory tax and jet fuel use tax.
Education tax is in accordance with Proposition 301 resulting in an additional 0.6% education tax being
added to most business classifications.
The "Other Revenue" category includes county excise, road, jail and hospital taxes and various other excise
taxes, such as the 911 excise tax.

Distribution of Transaction Privilege, Severance and Use Tax Receipts
Of the distribution base portion of transaction privilege and severance taxes, described above, 25% is
returned to incorporated cities/towns, 40.51% is returned to counties and 34.49% goes to the state general
fund with the exception of mining severance tax. All of the non-shared revenue and use tax is deposited into
the general fund. Therefore, the "Retained by State" figure presented below includes all non-shared portion
of transaction privilege tax, use tax and 34.49% of the distribution base collections. The education tax is
distributed in accordance with Proposition 301. “Other" revenues are returned to the administering authority.

Telecommunications Devices, 911 Excise and 911 Wireless Service classifications previously listed in the
collections table are not elements of calculated taxable income and therefore, are not included in the above
table. Since the jet fuel use tax is a gallonage tax, this too can not be computed as taxable income. Timber
Severance includes only sales subject to a repealed rate. The current tax is per board feet upon which
taxable income cannot be computed.
