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.

Individual Income Tax Estimated Payments
Taxpayers are required to make estimated payments if their Arizona gross income will exceed
$75,000, in an amount which will represent unpaid tax liability at the end of the taxpayer's tax year.
Total estimated payments paid with form 140ES for tax year 2007 were $624.1 million, for an
average of $2,577. An additional $156.2 million in estimated payments came from 2006 tax
returns that applied their refunds as a 2007 estimated payment, for an average of $3,225.
Estimated payments received through December 2009 for tax year 2009 are as follows:

December 2009 Tax Facts

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 2007 through March 2008, $836.7 million was received for the first quarter of 2007. The
latest complete quarter (15 months of information has been compiled) is the third quarter of 2008,
which shows a decrease of 1.87% in withholding payments over the third quarter of 2007. Growth
in quarters for which information is still being gathered is as follows:
4th Quarter 2008
2nd Quarter 2009
4th Quarter 2009

(2.38)%
(9.84)%
(5.24)%

1st Quarter 2009
3rd Quarter 2009

(10.16)%
(5.96)%

The current choices for withholding are 0%, 11.5%, 21.9%, 26.5%, 28.8%, 35.7% or 42.6% 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.

Clean Elections
As a result of the January 1998 voter approval of the Citizens Clean Elections, Arizona’s income
taxpayers can make a donation to the Citizens Clean Elections Commission through an income tax
check-off or through a voluntary donation. The following is for returns filed in 2009.

The figures for the 2008 returns are most meaningful when compared to 2007 returns received
during the same period of time in the previous year. Through December 2008, the Department of
Revenue received 133,696 documents with a fiscal year-end of 2007. Compared to 2008
documents, the Department has seen a 0.1% 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 2009/10 is 15.0% of net proceeds from Fiscal Year 2007/08 income tax. Amounts returned
for October 2009 are shown on Table 2 located at the end of this report.

December 2009 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% non-shared. 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.
