tax revenue

Fiscal collection proceeds

Tax revenue is money collected by a government through taxes—on income, property, sales, imports, and the like.

It funds public services: roads, schools, defense, social programs.

The city's tax revenue fell sharply during the recession.

Economists and politicians debate how tax policy affects total revenue, since rates that are too high may discourage the activity being taxed.
