State Ends Fiscal Year with Collection Surplus

West Virginia lawmakers will have additional money to spend in the upcoming fiscal year. 

The members of the Senate Finance Committee announced on July 1 the state had finished with nearly $1.3 billion in tax revenue collected compared to estimates. 

The state collected $662.4 million in revenue in June, more than $200 million above the estimate for the month. The final number for the 2021-22 fiscal year shows the state received nearly $1.318 billion in revenues above the estimate in the budget. 

Dave Hardy, WV revenue secretary, predicted a strong finish to the fiscal year last month when he met with state lawmakers. 

“We will be at least $1.2 billion above projection for this fiscal year,” Hardy said on June 13. “Think about that for a minute. That’s $100 million a month on average that we have been above projection for the fiscal year we’re wrapping up.” 

Gov. Jim Justice and state lawmakers have approved use of $800 million of the revenue surplus in the next state budget. This will leave more than $500 million to be available for other allocations. Hardy added there will be “a lot of decision-making that will need to be done.” 

Justice is expected to call a special session later this summer to address the additional revenue. 

Severance tax collections spurred the revenue surplus. State officials estimated they would collect $319.7 million in severance tax in the fiscal year. The actual tax collected during the 2021-22 fiscal year was nearly $769 million – a difference of roughly $450 million.
