New sales taxes on alcoholic beverages raised $97 million over the last 10 months while beer, wine, and spirit consumption fell by 1 percent.

The state raised its sales tax from 5 percent to 6.25 percent last August and extended the tax to alcoholic beverages for the first time, prompting concerns that higher prices would depress alcohol sales or send Massachusetts consumers across the border to New Hampshire to buy their booze.

Revenue Department officials, releasing numbers for the just-completed fiscal year, said revenue gains from the new tax on alcohol exceeded their expectations by $19 million while sales of beverages dipped 1 percent. The sales, as measured by excise tax revenues, were actually up 1 percent through the end of January, Revenue Department officials said.

“We thought demand would go down much more than 1 percent,” said Robert Bliss, a spokesman for the Revenue Department.

Question 1 on the November ballot would repeal the new sales tax on alcoholic beverages. Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Baker, at a press availability today outside a Kappy’s Liquors in Medford, called for the repeal of the alcohol sales tax.

Overall, state tax revenues made a sharp uptick in June. The state ended the fiscal year with $18.5 billion in tax revenues, up $279 million, or 1.5 percent, from last year and $78 million above the most recent revenue forecast in January.

Income tax collections for the year were off $474 million, or 4.5 percent, from a year ago while the higher and expanded sales tax generated $739 million in new revenue for the state.
