Massachusetts tax receipts shattering recent record collections, new data show

State tax collectors took in $2.445 billion last month — $356 million or 17 percent more than what was collected in October 2020 and $197 million or 8.7 percent more than what DOR was expecting to collect, Revenue Commissioner Geoffrey Snyder said.

That's a round about way of giving a tax cut and improving the credit rating simultaneously.
