The State of Georgia's net tax collections in February 2026 totaled $2.12 billion, a decrease of $2.4 million or 0.1% compared to February 2025. Year-to-date, net tax revenue collections through eight months totaled roughly $21.88 billion, an increase of 1.6% compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Why it matters

Tax revenue is a key indicator of economic activity and financial health for the state. This slight dip in February collections, while modest, could signal some economic slowdown or shifts in consumer and business behavior that are worth monitoring.

The details

The decrease was driven by a 4.1% drop in Individual Income Tax collections and a 22.8% decline in Corporate Income Tax. However, Sales and Use Tax increased by 6.5%, and Motor Fuel Tax collections were up 3.5%. Motor Vehicle Tag, Title & Fees saw a small decline of 1.1% to 3%.

The takeaway
