General fund collections reached $625 million in May, representing an increase of $88 million, or 16.4 percent when compared to the same month in 2010, the Treasury Department said Monday.
Sales and use tax collections remain steady during the first 10 months of the current fiscal year, a pattern Treasury Department Secretary Jesús Méndez said is the result of several measures the administration has implemented to shore up much-needed cash for the government.
Government revenue collections totaled $746 million in March, a figure that is 10.1 percent, or $69 million over the same month the prior year, the Treasury Department said Thursday.
