tax revenues

State collection proceeds

Tax revenues are the money a government collects through taxes—income tax, sales tax, property tax, and others.

The term appears frequently in discussions of budgets and public spending: Tax revenues fell during the recession.

The plural form is standard even when referring to a single government's total collections.
