Arkansas' gross general revenue collections hit $1.08 billion in April, up from $940 million a year earlier.
Why it matters: General revenue collected, largely through personal and corporate income taxes, helps fund state government.
The big picture: April's revenue was well above every other month in the current fiscal year, which is expected. Collections in April are historically higher than any other month of the year, as income tax filings are due on April 15.
By the numbers: Through the first 10 months of fiscal 2026, Arkansas collected about $7.13 billion in gross general revenue. That's $284.3 million — about 4% — higher than last year.
- So far for the year, revenue is more than $189 million above forecast.
