Missouri collected $3.4 billion in total tax revenues for property, sales and gross receipts, licenses, income taxes and miscellaneous taxes during the first quarter of 2021, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

The majority of the state’s tax revenue was collected through individual income taxes ($1.6 billion) and general sales and gross receipts taxes ($1 billion).
