ATLANTA — Georgia tax collections soared 45.5% last month compared to March of last year, an anomaly the state Department of Revenue attributed to different tax filing deadlines this year compared to fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020.

The state brought in $2.76 billion in tax revenue in March, up $862.9 million over March of 2021.
