New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced Monday an estimated 13.02 percent rate of return for the New York State Common Retirement Fund now valued at an estimated $176.2 billion, the highest amount ever, for fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. Tax collections in April were more than $1 billion, or 17 percent lower, than comparable receipts a year ago, but $86.8 million higher than the projections included in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan released earlier this month, according to the April Cash Report released Friday by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. The year-over-year decrease, sharper than expected, was primarily in Personal Income Tax collections, where a number of states experienced unexpected declines in April as most taxpayers settled tax liabilities for 2013.
