In FY17, the City col- lected more than $39.5 million, spending 21.2% or about $8.36 million on Pre-K and less than 3%, or $1.16 million, on Com- munity Schools. Almost $30 million, or about 76% of FY17 beverage tax rev- enue, went to the Gen- eral Fund. To-date (as of March 2, 2018) in FY18, the City has collected almost $45.2 million, spending about 25% of funds, or almost $11.3 million, on Pre-K and less than $1 mil- lion, or just 2%, on Com- munity Schools.
Almost $33 million, or about 73% of revenue gen- erated by the beverage tax to-date for FY18, has gone to the General Fund. No revenue has been used for Rebuild.
In 2016, Mayor Kenney
proposed the Philadel- phia Beverage Tax to fund the City’s Pre-K expan- sion, Community Schools program, and the debt ser- vice for the bond borrow- ings for Rebuild. The tax, a 1.5-cents per ounce levy, was passed by City Coun- cil in June 2016 and took effect January 1, 2017.
