HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania's tax collections fulfilled budget projections in the first quarter of the state's fiscal year, but just barely.

The state Revenue Department said Wednesday it collected $6.6 billion through the end of September, which is only $500,000 above estimates.

In the first quarter, tax collections on sales and corporate income exceeded estimates, while revenue from personal income, inheritance and real-estate transfer taxes lagged projections.
