Washington collected $338 million in miscellaneous tax revenue during the 2nd quarter of 2019, a 23 percent decrease from the same period the previous year when $439 million was reported, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

In addition to detailed tax revenue data from each state, the Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue includes an estimate of state and local government tax revenue at a national level.

The Census Bureau cautions that it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by the state governments.
