Florida took in less general revenue in January than anticipated, according to state economists.
Collections during the month totaled about $4.184 billion, which was $31.4 million less than had been projected in an August forecast.
General revenue is made up of various types of taxes.
A report released Tuesday by the Legislature’s Office of Economic & Demographic Research said sales taxes, which make up the biggest part of general revenue, came in $10.3 million lower than projected.
Corporate income taxes were $18.8 million lower than forecast.
Meanwhile, the report said earnings on state investments were $25.8 million higher than forecast.
General revenue plays a key role in funding state programs such as education, health care and prisons.
Economists update projections periodically during the year.
A panel of economists known as the Revenue Estimating Conference will meet March 14 to issue new projections that lawmakers will use in negotiating a budget for the fiscal year that will start July 1.
