Total revenues of $6.63 billion for July were lower than anticipated by $294.7 million, or 4.3 percent.
While sales taxes missed the mark, personal income tax (PIT) and corporation tax – the other two of the “big three” revenue sources – came in higher than projected.
For July, PIT receipts of $5.22 billion were $231.7 million, or 4.6 percent, more than expected.
July corporation taxes of $446.4 million were $82.2 million, or 22.6 percent, above 2018-19 Budget Act assumptions.
Sales tax receipts of $818.4 million for July were $659.1 million, or 44.6 percent, less than anticipated in the FY 2018-19 budget. Most of the variance was due to when the money was recorded.
At the beginning of FY 2018-19, the state’s General Fund had a positive cash balance of $5.54 billion. Receipts were $3.62 billion less than disbursements in July, which left a cash balance of $1.92 billion at the end of the month.
There was no internal borrowing, which was $2.19 billion less than the 2018-19 Budget Act estimated the state would need by the end of July. Unused borrowable resources were 7.5 percent higher than projected in the budget.

SACRAMENTO – California State Treasurer John Chiang and AARP on Wednesday released the second in their ongoing series of CalSavers promotional videos called “CalSavers Overview.”
“CalSavers will not only help stem the tide of the silver tsunami we know is coming, but it will be a new and easy way for more than 7.5 million hard-working Californians to save for retirement through automatic payroll deductions,” said Treasurer Chiang. “And for their employers, the millions of small-business owners focused on running their businesses, it’s even better – no administrative headaches, an easy registration process, and, best of all, it won’t cost them anything.”
CalSavers is a state-backed program that will offer employees access to a completely voluntary, low-cost, portable retirement savings vehicle, featuring professionally managed investments and oversight provided by a public, transparent board of directors.
“CalSavers offers a simple way for millions of Californians to save for their future,” said Nancy McPherson, California State Director at AARP. “That is why AARP strongly supports the CalSavers program and is eager to spread the word about how it will benefit working Californians.”
Deborah Lowe Muramoto, Executive Director of the Women’s Business Center, added, “What excites me the most about this retirement savings program – it addresses the issue of lack of access for small businesses.”
CalSavers will begin their pilot run this fall, and open statewide next year. Employers with 100 or more employees, which do not already offer a retirement plan, will have one year from the full program launch date to register, where employers with 50 or more employees and those with 5 or more employees will have two and three years, respectively.
