As a result of the economic crisis brought on by the COVID-19 global health pandemic, state governments are bracing for a dramatic shortfall in projected tax revenue. The results of such a shortfall may not be realized for many months and the effects could be felt for years to come. Now, as citizens and businesses work to overcome these economic hardships, governments are searching for ways to make up for the shortfall by growing revenues from existing sources – taxes, overpayment, unpaid fees, fines and other debts – without raising taxes.
