April 2012 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
July 2010 through September 2011, $765.4 million was received for the third quarter of 2010. The
latest complete quarter (15 months of information has been compiled) is the first quarter of 2011,
which shows an increase of 9.27% in withholding payments over the first quarter of 2010. Growth
in quarters for which information is still being gathered is as follows:
2nd Quarter 2011
4th Quarter 2011
2nd Quarter 2012

13.77%
(2.98)%
(1.41)%

3rd Quarter 2011
1st Quarter 2012

5.34%
10.43%

Beginning July 1, 2010, the state withholding tables calculate Arizona withholding as a percentage
of gross taxable wages. The withholding rates were revised effective January 1, 2011. The new
withholding rates are 0%, 0.8%, 1.3%, 1.8%, 2.7%, 3.6%, 4.2% or 5.1%. The 0% option is only
available to those individuals who expect no tax liability in 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 individual income tax returns filed in
2011.

April 2012 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. Temporary Tax is in accordance with Proposition 100 passed in May 2010,
resulting in an additional 1% being added to most business classifications. The Temporary Tax is
scheduled to expire on May 31, 2013. The "Other Revenue" category includes county excise,
road, jail and hospital taxes and various other excise taxes, such as the 911 excise tax.

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.

Transaction Privilege and Severance Tax Returned to Cities/Towns
The portion of transaction privilege and severance tax returned to each incorporated city or town
for April 2012 is shown on Table 3, attached to this report.

County Tax Collections
The county-imposed tax collections received by the Department of Revenue during April and
returned to the counties are shown on Table 4, attached to this report. The rental car surcharge in
Maricopa County is $2.50 per car and in Pima County is $3.50 per car. The RV Surcharge in Pima
County is $0.50/day on each lease or rental of a parking space for recreational vehicles.

1These Taxable Sales figures are calculated on a per return basis, by taking collections and dividing them by the appropriate tax rate.
These figures may not match other Taxable Sales figures calculated on the aggregate.
