State-Shared Taxes and Appropriations for the Coming Fiscal Year

Reference Number: MTAS-545
Reviewed Date: 03/21/2023

The Tennessee Department of Revenue makes payments of state-shared revenues to all Tennessee municipalities based on population. MTAS tracks the monthly revenues reported by the Department of Revenue and uses those along with estimates to forecast what cities may expect to receive in the coming fiscal year.

The estimates shown below include actual numbers for FY 2021-22, as well as an estimate for the 2022-23 fiscal year using state provided numbers through December (6 months). The reader should use sound judgement and caution when budgeting for 2023-24. State and federal grants will help offset the effect of COVID-19 but may be restricted in use. We will continue to monitor state collections and update this publication regularly.

The first column in the chart below shows an updated estimate for the 2021-22 fiscal year ($162.87). The second column estimates 2022-23 ($169.29). For the 2023-24 fiscal year we currently estimate $170.29 but the reader should periodically refer back to this publication as we will update it as more actual data is known. This estimate is preliminary, especially due to several economic factors noted above. State sales tax have increased 10.85% and gas and motor fuel taxes have decreased 0.65% through eight months of the current fiscal year compared to the same time last year . This can to be used as a tool in estimating projected revenue for the 2023-24 fiscal year. It is but one tool, and a multi-year trend analysis should also be prepared to assist in determining the appropriate estimates going forward.
