September 2014 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 2013 through March 2014, $865.3 million was received for the first quarter of 2013. The
latest complete quarter (15 months of information has been compiled) is the second quarter of
2013, which shows an increase of 2.58% in withholding payments over the second quarter of
2012. Growth in quarters for which information is still being gathered is as follows:
3rd Quarter 2013
1st Quarter 2014
3rd Quarter 2014

1.00%
5.51%
3.43%

4th Quarter 2013
2nd Quarter 2014

(0.10%)
3.46%

The state withholding tables calculate Arizona withholding as a percentage of gross taxable
wages. The 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.

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
expired on May 31, 2013. Any monies received for the tax from this point is from an older period
that was covered by the tax. 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

the distribution base collections. The education tax is distributed in accordance with Proposition
301. 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 expired on May
31, 2013. Any monies received for the tax from this point is from an older period that was covered
by the tax. “Other" revenues are returned to the administering authority.

include only the individual classes of transaction privilege tax, severance tax and use tax. The
total does not include license fees or any other fees collected by the department.

2 The collections reported in this table reflect the base state tax collections, not including the Education Tax. For example, the total state
rate for Retail is 5.6%, yet 0.6% is for the Education Tax. Collections are reported on the 5% base state rate.

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 gallon age tax, this too cannot 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 September 2014 is shown on Table 2, attached to this report.

County Tax Collections
The county-imposed tax collections received by the Department of Revenue during September and
returned to the counties are shown on Table 3, 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.

3These 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.
