爱达荷州财年首季收入超预期9030万美元
据《宝石州纪事报》（Gem State Chronicle）报道，爱达荷州州长布拉德·利特尔（Brad Little）10月9日宣布，2027财年第一季度该州一般基金收入超出预期9030万美元，即6.8%。
据报道，9月份收入超出预期3900万美元，个人所得税征收领跑——年初至今超出预期18.3%。直接从工资中代扣的税款第一季度同比增长20%，较2026财年的2.8%与2025财年的5.9%大幅加速。经济学家表示，这一飙升显示该州劳动力市场持续强劲：就业人数更多，收入也在增长。
9月销售税征收2.151亿美元，年初至今达6.174亿美元，反映全州消费活动的广度。线上市场销售额表现尤为强劲，季度同比增长23.4%——电子商务在零售中的份额继续扩大。
利特尔表示：“爱达荷州强劲的收入增长令人鼓舞，反映了我们经济的实力，但我们必须保持纪律，根据可负责任地持续的水平来做支出决策。去年我们做出的艰难决定让我们处于更强的财政位置，我们需要继续优先保障对爱达荷人最重要的投资，同时保护长期财政稳定。”
州长还说：“代扣税的强劲增长说明爱达荷人在工作、企业在招聘、我们的经济很强劲。这对爱达荷人和我们的社区是好消息。”州预算编制者将以这份季度数据为基础制定下一份支出计划，州议会将于明年1月开议时审议预算。
Idaho Revenue Beats Forecast by $90 Million in First Quarter of FY2027
BOISE, Idaho — Idaho's General Fund revenue exceeded the state's forecast by $90.3 million, or 6.8%, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, Gov. Brad Little announced Oct. 9, the Gem State Chronicle reported.
September revenue came in $39 million above forecast, with individual income tax collections leading the way at 18.3% above forecast year-to-date. Withholding collections — the taxes taken directly from paychecks — grew 20% in the first quarter compared with the same period last year, accelerating sharply from 2.8% growth in FY2026 and 5.9% in FY2025. Economists say the surge points to continued strength in Idaho's workforce: more people working, and earning more.
Sales tax collections totaled $215.1 million in September, bringing year-to-date collections to $617.4 million and reflecting broad consumer activity across the state. Online marketplace sales were particularly strong, growing 23.4% in the quarter compared with the same period last year, as e-commerce continues to take a larger share of retail.
"Idaho's strong revenue growth is encouraging and reflects the strength of our economy, but we must remain disciplined and make spending decisions based on what we can responsibly sustain," Little said. "The difficult decisions we made last year put us in a stronger fiscal position, and we need to continue prioritizing the investments that matter most to Idahoans while protecting our long-term financial stability."
The governor added: "Strong withholding growth shows us Idahoans are working, businesses are hiring, and our economy is strong. This is good news for Idahoans and our communities." State budget writers will use the quarterly figures as they begin building the next spending plan, with the legislature set to take up the budget when it convenes in January.
