Sales tax collections in New York neared the $6 billion mark in the second quarter of 2023, according to Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's office.

A report released Wednesday by the comptroller's office showed local government sales tax collections totaling $5.7 billion from April to June, an increase of 3% from the same time span last year.

“Growth in local sales tax collections slowed in the second quarter, returning closer to pre-pandemic trends, after significant volatility during the pandemic period,” DiNapoli said in a press release.

While the report indicated that New York City and a number of other cities that have their own sales tax instead of county collections experienced decent growth, some of the larger counties in the state either saw slow growth or declines in collections. Albany County's collections fell by 6.1%, and Monroe County's fell 0.8%, while Westchester County saw just a 1.4% increase. Meanwhile, Sullivan County saw a stellar 28.3% rise in collections, with Broome County's rise being a decent 15.7%.

Gas tax collections decreased by 19% in New York during the second quarter, which was attributed to "a steep drop in gas prices, which were 21% lower in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022," according to the report.
