How we calculated it
We sum USD collections across 4,364 normalized April rows and 4,220 May rows: USD 2,863,833,529.95 versus USD 1,949,543,907.94. We reviewed the twelve largest rows in each month, currency, period, source file, and passing DQ with complete key coverage and zero duplicates. We do not combine months or interpret the row-count difference as unique taxpayers.
20,694 rows match the query; 5 results remain in the summary.
What it means and what it does not
April is the highest month from January through May 2026 in the current file, with corporate income and mining profits among its largest rows that do not occupy the same place in May. The change therefore reflects the tax calendar and composition rather than a direct measure of economic contraction. Additionally, geography reflects taxpayer fiscal domicile rather than canton-level economic activity, and the difference in rows does not represent unique taxpayers.
Collections are assigned to the taxpayer fiscal domicile and do not directly measure economic activity in that canton.
