Photo: DivInc Colorado&#x27;s tax collections through June reached such historic levels that the state government must issue another rebate. State of play: The state&#x27;s discretionary revenue from tax collections jumped 23.7% in the just-finished 2022 fiscal year — the largest general fund increase since at least 1975, if not ever, according to from legislative economists. The increase surged beyond the revenue caps in the Taxpayer&#x27;s Bill of Rights, meaning the state will need to issue even larger refunds.The first checks came in August — amounting to $750 a person — but now the state must prepare to refund another $816 million when most residents file their 2022 taxes next spring.That will amount to $160 to $506 in refunds, based on income with top earners receiving more.

What they&#x27;re saying: &quot;Those amounts are staggering,&quot; Greg Sobetski, the chief legislative economist, told lawmakers Thursday. &quot;That&#x27;s what happens when you have a three-plus billion TABOR surplus and have to give it back to taxpayers.&quot; BFD: In the current fiscal year and two future ones, taxpayer refunds could continue to increase. The legislative forecasts show the state must return a total of $8.8 billion in rebates over that period.

Yes, but: The estimates would decrease if voters approve measures on this year&#x27;s ballot to curtail TABOR refunds or if the state&#x27;s economy enters a recession.Legislative economists cautioned that the economy is in a &quot;precarious situation&quot; with rising interest rates, and as the &quot;continues to escalate.&quot; The other side: Gov. Jared Polis&#x27; analysts are less optimistic about the economy&#x27;s direction down the line. In their , his budget office is suggesting smaller TABOR refunds in future years, totaling $3.3 billion.

The big picture: TABOR not only sets refund amounts, but establishes the limits lawmakers can spend in the annual budget process.The governor&#x27;s office expects discretionary spending to decline 6.1% in the current fiscal year, while legislative economists anticipate it grows 1.4%. Both forecast more flat growth for the 2023-24 fiscal year.
