What is the annual state budget for the state of Alaska?

Question

Does anyone know what the annual state budget of Alaska is, and how it ranks among the 50 states?

Answer 1

"Alaska's Total tax revenue (TTT) for 2007 was: $3,545,865,901



In 2007 85.76% of Alaska state total tax revenue (TTT) came from the oil industry. (in the form of 4 different taxes).





Here are all the other sources of revenue contributing 1% or more of the total tax take:



Corporate Income - Other than Oil and Gas 4.99%



Mining License 2.23%



Tobacco 2.05%



Motor Fuel 1.12%



Alcoholic Beverages 1.02%



Fisheries Business 1.00%



You say: Huh? Where is the state sales tax or the state income tax?



Alaska has neither.



So you can see the state government does not have a tough job raising the money to do whatever.
