State Budget Agency analysts say greater-than-expected sales tax revenues include payments from online sales tax, which many retailers are now paying for the first time.

Indiana tax collections have outpaced state budget targets in seven of the last 14 months.

The state didnt take in as much money in taxes in July as budget writers planned, but it was close.

Sales taxes, the states largest revenue source, did not meet projections, though theyre still on target for the overall fiscal year.

The first half of the fiscal year ended on a high, with strong December revenues. But they fell back to earth last month.

Sales and corporate income taxes did better than expected last month. And both tax collection categories are outperforming projections.

Growth in corporate tax collections - the third largest source of state revenue - is expected to stall in the second year of Indiana's next budget.

Sales and individual income taxes struggled in November. But both revenue streams are still mostly on track for the overall fiscal year.

Indiana tax revenues came in $51 million less in October than the state's budget plan projected.

The state brought in more than $28 million more in corporate income tax last month than predicted.
