State taxes collected in California dropped 13.94% in 2009 from a year earlier, according to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau. That compares with an 8.6% drop nationwide.

The report doesn’t include local or federal taxes or state unemployment compensation taxes.

The state collected just over $101 billion in 2009, down $16.4 billion, even though the legislature and governor approved the largest tax increase in state history including hikes in sales, motor vehicle and income taxes.

Among the declines:

Sales and gross receipts – 8.6%

Individual income -20.4%

Corporate -19.5%

Most categories of licenses collected more money, including:

Occupational and business +16.9%

Motor vehicle +10.1%

Alcohol beverage +3.4%

All 50 states collected $715.2 billion in 2009, almost $67 billion less than in 2008. The nationwide declines include:

Sales taxes, $228.1 billion, -5.4%

Individual income, $245.9 billion, -11.8%

Corporate, $40.3 billion, -20.7%

These three categories made up 72% of all state government tax collections nationwide.

“The 2009 state tax collection data is the first component of government finance data released each fiscal year and provides an important indicator of the fiscal condition of state governments,” said Lisa Blumerman, chief of the Census Bureau’s Governments Division.

These declines help explain why at least 41 states have shortfalls in their 2010 budgets, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

California’s 2010 budget has a $6.6 billion shortfall and faces a total $19.9 billion deficit through next year.

Some states had by even greater revenue declines than California, according to Census data. For example, Arizona was hit with a 42.5% decline in individual income taxes in 2009, largest in the nation, followed by Southe Carolina, -29.6%; Tennessee, -23.8%; and New mexico, -23.2%.

Michigan, hard hit by automaker bankruptcies, had the largest percentage drop in corporate taxes, down 63.5% followed by Oregon, -45.8%, New Mexico, -42.6% and Utah, -37.7%.
