The 2018-19 May Revision: LAO Revenue Outlook

May 12, 2018 - Personal Income Tax (PIT) Healthy Growth in Wages and Salaries Drive PIT Growth. Our PIT outlook reflects anticipated tightening in labor markets, which puts upward pressure on wages. Accordingly, we estimate that taxable wages and salaries will increase by 7.5 percent in 2018 and 6.6 percent in 2019 before fading to 3.5 percent growth in 2021.

The 2019-20 May Revision: LAO Revenue Outlook

May 12, 2019 - Personal Income Tax (PIT) PIT Growth Remains Steady. While wage growth was somewhat lower in 2018 than we had anticipated in November , it remained above the long-term historical average. Under our updated economic outlook, we expect total wages and salaries to continue to grow steadily in 2019 and 2020 in part due to a historically high number of initial public offerings (IPOs) by California-based companies in 2019.

The 2017-18 Budget: Overview of the Governor's Budget [Publication Details]

Jan 13, 2017 - The administration's estimates anticipate slow growth in the personal income tax (PIT), the state’s dominant revenue source. The Governor’s estimate of PIT growth in 2017-18 is probably too low. As a result, by the May Revision, the state could have more General Fund revenue than the Governor now projects, but much of that revenue would be required to go to schools and Proposition 2 reserves and debt payments.
