Revenue Department Releases November 2020 Collections

Harrisburg, PA — Pennsylvania collected $2.3 billion in General Fund revenue in November, Revenue Secretary Dan Hassell reported today. Fiscal year-to-date General Fund collections total $14.8 billion.

November collection data does not include a comparison against anticipated amounts because monthly revenue estimates for the fiscal year are not yet finalized. As part of the state budget recently signed by Gov. Tom Wolf, an amendment to the Fiscal Code requires the Department of Revenue to revise revenue estimates for the 2020-21 Fiscal Year. Work to publish those monthly estimates is ongoing.

Below is an overview of November revenue collections:

Sales tax receipts totaled $984.3 million in November.

Personal income tax (PIT) revenue in November was $683.9 million.

Corporation tax revenue was $140.9 million for November.
