Of the $16.3 billion in taxes collected by Arizona in 2018, $183,000 came from pari-mutuels sales tax, a 41.9 percent increase over the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of State Government Tax Collections (STC).

Arizona collected $129,000 in pari-mutuels sales tax in 2017.

The STC survey includes five broad tax categories and up to 25 subcategories. Data is gathered from all 50 state governments and all dependent state-level entities.

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.

Below is a breakdown of how taxes were classified by subcategory and how much was collected.
