Erica York reports that the federal government collected $21.93B in tariffs in May while refunding $21.97B during the same period.
This resulted in a net tariff revenue of -$42 million for the month.
York previously highlighted that the average tax refund increased as more filers shifted from owing taxes to receiving a refund, with refund numbers rising 6 percent. She has also reported that U.S. income tax is applied not only to salaries but also to business, investment, and retirement income. These earlier topics add context to the latest federal revenue figures.
