Press Release  March Revenue Collections Total $4.065 Billion

Media contact   for march revenue collections total $4.065 billion, nathalie dailida.

(Boston, MA) — Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) Commissioner Geoffrey Snyder today announced that preliminary revenue collections for March totaled $4.065 billion, $182 million or 4.7% more than actual collections in March 2023, and $129 million or 3.3% above benchmark. 1

FY2024 year-to-date collections totaled approximately $27.531 billion, which is $4 million or 0.01% less than collections in the same period of FY2023, and $145 million or 0.5% less than the year-to-date benchmark.

"March collections increased in income tax withholding in comparison to March 2023,” said Commissioner Snyder. “The increase in withholding was partially offset by decreases in non-withheld income tax, sales and use tax, and ‘all other’ tax. The increase in withholding was due, in part, to current labor market conditions. The decrease in non-withheld income tax was driven by an unfavorable increase in income tax refunds and a decrease in income tax returns and bills. The decrease in sales tax was mainly due to typical timing factors in collections. The decrease in ‘all other’ tax is mostly attributable to a decrease in estate tax, a category that tends to fluctuate.”

Historically, March is a mid-size month for revenue collections, ranking sixth of the 12 months on average in the last 10 years. Many corporate and business taxpayers are required to make estimated payments during the month. The tax filing season is underway, and March is typically a significant month for refund payments (outflows), which reduce total net revenue.

  • Income tax collections for March totaled $1.991 billion, $133 million or 7.2% above benchmark, and $232 million or 13.2% more than March 2023.
  • Withholding tax collections for March totaled $1.946 billion, $207 million or 11.9% above benchmark, and $293 million or 17.7% more than March 2023.
  • Income tax estimated payments for March totaled $96 million, $6 million or 5.6% below benchmark, and $0.2 million or 0.2% less than March 2023.
  • Income tax returns and bills for March totaled $492 million, $69 million or 12.2% below benchmark, and $21 million or 4.0% less than March 2023.
  • Income tax cash refunds for March totaled $543 million in outflows, $1 million or 0.2% below benchmark, but $39 million or 7.8% more than March 2023.
  • Sales and use tax collections for March totaled $664 million, $5 million or 0.8% below benchmark, and $26 million or 3.8% less than March 2023.
  • Corporate and business tax collections for March totaled $1.235 billion, $2 million or 0.1% below benchmark, and $5 million or 0.4% less than March 2023.
  • “All other” tax collections for March totaled $175 million, $3 million or 1.9% above benchmark, but $19 million or 10.0% less than March 2023.

March 2024 Tax Collections Summary (in $ millions) Preliminary as of April 03, 2024

On January 12, 2024, the Secretary of Administration and Finance announced a revised tax revenue estimate of $39.834 billion for FY2024, which includes $1 billion for the 4% income surtax and a $576.8 million reduction in revenue resulting from the Tax Relief Bill. The revised FY2024 revenue benchmark represents July 2023 through December 2023 actual collections and forecasted collections for the months of January 2024 through June 2024.

thesis on revenue collection

Benson James Lyimo

Governments worldwide need resources in form of revenues to perform various functions both social and economic activities. Tax is the main source of revenue for any government and taxes are compulsory payments to government without expecting direct benefit or return by the tax payer – not based on direct quid pro quo principle. Iringa Municipality council has been facing various challenges which make it not to attain the projected targets put. The general objective of the study was to assess challenges facing Local Government Authorities towards implementation of strategies to enhance revenue collection. Case study research design was used in this study. A sample size of 50 out of 90 respondents (i.e. tax payers and TRA employees) was involved. Questionnaires were used to get information from the respondents. Data collected were analyzed descriptively by using SPSS computer software. The findings show that 96% of the respondents reported the availability of taxpayer resistance and low tax morale on part of the citizenry which may result into the reduction of revenue collection. 82% of the respondents agreed that availability of corruption including embezzlement of revenue is one of the challenges which hinder revenue collection. However, 80% of the respondents agreed that by establishing more accessible and transparent payment facilities will enhance tax collection. Also respondents asserted that revenue collectors provide no confidence in tax payers. Thus the study recommends that further studies need to be done on the following issues; (i) what is the perception of taxpayers regarding the misuse of revenue collected by the authority in relation to revenue evasion? (ii) To what extent has Iringa municipality council been able to address revenue evasion?

We show that the combination of X-ray scattering with a nanofocused beam and X-ray cross correlation analysis is an efficient way for the full structural characterization of mesocrystalline nanoparticle assemblies with a single experiment. We analyze several hundred diffraction patterns at individual sample locations, that is, individual grains, to obtain a meaningful statistical distribution of the superlattice and atomic lattice ordering. Simultaneous small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering of the same sample location allows us to determine the structure and orientation of the superlattice as well as the angular correlation of the first two Bragg peaks of the atomic lattices, their orientation with respect to the superlattice, and the average orientational misfit due to local structural disorder. This experiment is particularly advantageous for synthetic mesocrystals made by the simultaneous self-assembly of nanocrystals and surface-functionalization with conductive ligands. While ...

Este artigo regressa a uma teorização aprofundada sobre o conceito de participação, com o objetivo de refletir sobre a natureza da participação e demonstrar alguns dos problemas inerentes às publicações que distinguem entre formas de participação claras e escuras. O ponto de partida do artigo é uma discussão sobre três limites inscritos no conceito de participação. O primeiro limite leva-nos a uma discussão antiga sobre a natureza da participação, o foco no poder e o que é incluído e excluído nestas definições. O segundo limite do conceito de participação tem como tema uma série de distinções, nomeadamente aquelas entre participação, a sua condição de possibilidade (acesso e interação) e os seus resultados. O terceiro limite que (potencialmente) estrutura a participação é da imposição da cultura democrática. Em resposta a estes debates, o artigo apresenta uma abordagem mais positiva, focada no que foi ignorado por muito tempo, a saber, as razões pelas quais a participação é importan...

AlphaSense, a Goldman Sachs–backed AI research startup valued at $2.5B, gears up for IPO as it crosses $200M in annual recurring revenue

Jack Kokko (right) and Raj Neervannan started working on AlphaSense as classmates at the Wharton School.

Hedge fund manager Cynthia Paul started using the research platform AlphaSense more than 10 years ago while she was working at George Soros’s family office.

She had enlisted all the analysts on her team to track down a data point—and one of them came back so quickly, showing her an answer on his computer screen, that she almost didn’t believe him. The analyst had found the figure via AlphaSense’s AI-powered search engine, which uses machine learning to pull from a dataset of public documents and SEC filings, transcripts, and research.

“I was impressed enough to try the product myself,” says Paul, who would soon ask AlphaSense if Soros Fund Management could invest in the firm, and would later back the company again when she launched her own hedge fund. Research startup AlphaSense now boasts more than 4,000 corporate customers, including more than 80% of the S&P 100, who typically pay between $10,000 or $20,000 annually per seat to follow their competitors, track regulatory approvals, or research M&A targets. 

With the help of developments in generative AI, AlphaSense CEO Jack Kokko says he is seeing heightened interest in the platform—both from its users, and its swath of investors, ranging from Goldman Sachs , CapitalG, and Viking Global. AlphaSense hit $200 million in annual recurring revenue at the end of last year—doubling its ARR from summer 2022—and Kokko is now thinking about how to double that figure, while setting his sights on the right time to take the company public. “We’re suddenly a lot closer to that,” Kokko tells Fortune in an interview.

AlphaSense has increased its headcount by 20% since January 2023 and opened an office in Singapore. This month, AlphaSense hired a new chief marketing officer, Heather Zynczak—who was part of the executive team that took software company Pluralsight public—as it tries to lay the groundwork for an IPO.

“There’s still a lot to do, of course, when you actually decide to go and file,” Kokko says.

‘The poster child’

Twenty-five years ago—during the roaring dotcom boom—Kokko was working as an investment banking analyst for Morgan Stanley . He remembers the feeling of being a young analyst and walking into a client boardroom, his mind running over what data point he might have missed in his research—what overlooked item might end up “messing up that billion-dollar deal,” he says. 

“That’s what stuck with me,” Kokko says, and what would ultimately lead him and his Wharton School classmate, Raj Neervannan, to start working on a search engine that could marry the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence with research about companies.

The key to the AlphaSense platform, which Kokko and Neervannan started building in 2011, would be its dataset. AlphaSense’s models pull from SEC filings, equity analyst research, industry journals, patent filings, earnings call transcripts, and other public documents and sources. Its two acquisitions over the years—financial analysis company Sentieo as well as expert interview transcription service Stream by Mosaic—have helped expand that dataset. Users can search for things like layoff events or patents, and AlphaSense’s AI models will spit out the relevant documents.

Kokko ascribes the recent growth at his company, in part, to generative AI. Over the past couple of years, AlphaSense has incorporated a variety of large language models, including Anthropic’s recently released Claude 3, into its own in-house AI systems, which it fine-tunes with open-source models like Llama 2 and Mistral, to power new features. Where previously AlphaSense would categorize information and surface data points, now AlphaSense can help users connect the dots—summarizing information, offering industrywide analysis on what companies are saying about things like price inflation, or suggesting specific companies or competitors in sectors a user is researching. 

“We’re constantly pushing what we’re able to automate for users and make them more effective at their work, and generative AI has been one of those things that really enabled big leaps in that,” Kokko says. “That has created a lot of demand—extra demand, perhaps—and a lot of attention to the use cases that we serve.”

That, plus the company’s focus on expansion into new markets like Singapore, were major contributors to AlphaSense doubling its ARR and helped attract attention from new investors. Last calendar year, amid a drought in venture capital funding to startups in sectors outside of AI, AlphaSense raised approximately $250 million in equity funding over two separate funding rounds. One of those rounds was in September, when the company raised $150 million at a $2.5 billion valuation in a deal led by BOND Capital and joined by previous investors CapitalG (one of Alphabet’s independent investing arms) and Goldman Sachs. 

Darren Cohen, the CIO of Goldman Sachs’ growth equity team, sees AlphaSense as the perfect fit for their broader investment thesis: combining the infrastructure layer of AI (large language models built by companies like OpenAI or Anthropic) with a rich dataset and a specific workflow. “AlphaSense is, by far, the poster child,” Cohen tells Fortune. “It’s one of the largest positions in our fund.”

But AlphaSense still has a bit of work to do before it goes public. For one: diversifying its leadership team. There is only one woman—its new CMO—across AlphaSense’s eight-person executive team and five-person board of directors. 

AlphaSense says it is currently interviewing female board candidates, and Goldman’s Cohen told Fortune that diversifying both the leadership team and board is one “of many things” AlphaSense is focused on pre-IPO. “We actually are in conversations and showing them potential candidates, some of [whom] I work closely with, which would be amazing additions. Stay tuned,” Cohen said.

The company is also updating its financial systems to handle the precise reporting necessary in the public markets and to ensure that investors can adequately compare it to other public SaaS companies, Kokko says. He anticipates that CMO Zynczak’s experience on public and private boards, in particular, will be able to guide AlphaSense on what pre- and post-IPO investors look for.

Of course, it remains to be seen exactly when the IPO markets will be deemed “open” again. While a few notable startups like Instacart and Reddit have made their debuts in recent months, listings overall have been few and far between.

Kokko won’t share an exact timeline for AlphaSense’s public listing other than to say it will depend on when the IPO market appears truly open. And given that the company raised some $250 million in equity funding just last year, Kokko says he has the capital to wait: “We’re not in a rush.”

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service today issued guidance for the collection of information for taxpayers to request an emissions value from the Department of Energy (DOE) to petition the Secretary of the Treasury for a determination of a provisional emissions rate (PER).

On Dec. 26, 2023, the Department of the Treasury and the IRS issued proposed regulations relating to the credit for production of clean hydrogen and the election to treat clean hydrogen production facilities as energy property.

The proposed regulations provide procedures for taxpayers to petition for a PER determination and refer to the process for taxpayers to request an emissions value from the DOE to file a petition.

This guidance issued today contains supplemental information relating to the DOE’s emissions value request process and invites comments on that process.

Axios Sees A.I. Coming, and Shifts Its Strategy

“The premium for people who can tell you things you do not know will only grow in importance, and no machine will do that,” says Jim VandeHei, C.E.O. of Axios.

Jim VandeHei, in a light gray pullover and holding a pair of glasses, sits at an office table with framed articles on the wall behind him.

By Katie Robertson

In the view of Jim VandeHei, the chief executive of Axios, artificial intelligence will “eviscerate the weak, the ordinary, the unprepared in media.”

The rapid rise of generative A.I. — and its implications for how people will discover and consume news — has unsettled many media executives. Like them, Mr. VandeHei has spent the past year or so pondering how to respond.

Now he’s becoming one of the first news executives to adjust their company’s strategy because of A.I.

Mr. VandeHei says the only way for media companies to survive is to focus on delivering journalistic expertise, trusted content and in-person human connection. For Axios, that translates into more live events, a membership program centered on its star journalists and an expansion of its high-end subscription newsletters.

“We’re in the middle of a very fundamental shift in how people relate to news and information,” he said, “as profound, if not more profound, than moving from print to digital.”

“Fast forward five to 10 years from now and we’re living in this A.I.-dominated virtual world — who are the couple of players in the media space offering smart, sane content who are thriving?” he added. “It damn well better be us.”

Axios is pouring investment into holding more events, both around the world and in the United States. Mr. VandeHei said the events portion of his business grew 60 percent year over year in 2023.

The company has also introduced a $1,000-a-year membership program around some of its journalists that will offer exclusive reporting, events and networking. The first one, announced last month, is focused on Eleanor Hawkins, who writes a weekly newsletter for communications professionals. Her newsletter will remain free, but paying subscribers will have access to additional news and data, as well as quarterly calls with Ms. Hawkins.

Membership programs will next be built around Sara Fischer, a media reporter, and the business editor Dan Primack, who writes the daily Pro Rata newsletter, according to a person familiar with the company’s plans.

“I’m trying to align the company with the people who have a ton of talent: They thrive, we thrive,” Mr. VandeHei said.

Axios will expand Axios Pro, its collection of eight high-end subscription newsletters focused on specific niches in the deals and policy world. The subscriptions start at $599 a year each, and Axios is looking to add one on defense policy. The company just hired an executive, Danica Stanciu, to oversee the expansion into more policy areas. Ms. Stanciu was instrumental in growing Politico Pro, Politico’s premium subscription offering, into a thriving business.

“The premium for people who can tell you things you do not know will only grow in importance, and no machine will do that,” Mr. VandeHei said.

Part of the pivot entails a restructuring of Axios’s leadership team. Sara Kehaulani Goo, the editor in chief of the Axios newsroom, will head up the editorial side of events and running new platforms. Aja Whitaker-Moore, the executive editor of the newsroom, will be promoted to editor in chief and will oversee all published content.

“I hope the next leg of this journey can really be focused on how we take the subject matter expertise to the next level,” she said.

Axios was started in 2017 by Mr. VandeHei, a co-founder of Politico, along with Mike Allen and Roy Schwartz. In August 2022, Cox Enterprises acquired Axios in a deal that valued the company at $525 million, with its founders staying on as minority shareholders.

Mr. VandeHei said Axios was not currently profitable because of the investment in the new businesses. The company has continued to hire journalists even as many other news organizations have cut back. An Axios spokeswoman said that Axios Local now had nearly two million subscribers across 30 newsletters, and that Axios’s national newsletters had about 1.5 million.

In addition to figuring out how A.I. could change news consumption by the public, many media companies are racing to figure out how to address the ingestion of their content by A.I. chatbots. The New York Times, for example, sued Microsoft and OpenAI in December for copyright infringement, arguing that millions of articles were used, without authorization, to train the tech companies’ chatbots.

Mr. VandeHei said that while he thought publications should be compensated for original intellectual property, “that’s not a make-or-break topic.” He said Axios had talked to several A.I. companies about potential deals, but “nothing that’s imminent.”

“One of the big mistakes a lot of media companies made over the last 15 years was worrying too much about how do we get paid by other platforms that are eating our lunch as opposed to figuring out how do we eat people’s lunch by having a superior product,” he said.
