Wisconsin tax collections up 8% in February, 5.7% for fiscal year

(The Center Square) – Wisconsin collected more than $1 billion in general purpose taxes in February, up 8% from the $942 million collected in 2024.

That made overall collections for the fiscal year $12.9 billion, up 5.7% from last fiscal year.

Wisconsin saw a 3.8% in sales and use taxes in February, collecting $560 million compared to $540 million a year before. Sales tax collections are $4.6 billion for the fiscal year compared to nearly $4.5 billion last fiscal year.
