When it comes to taxes paid, what really matters when getting down to brass tacks, is the total amount that is hoovered up by Government. Once again, we see that NH does well indeed:
The top 10 states with the lowest tax burdens as a percentage of state income are as follows:
- Alaska, 7.0 percent
- South Dakota, 7.6 percent
- Tennessee, 7.7 percent
- Louisiana, 7.8 percent
- Wyoming, 7.8 percent
- Texas, 7.9 percent
- New Hampshire, 8.1 percent
- Alabama, 8.2 percent
- Nevada, 8.2 percent
- South Carolina, 8.4 percent
The U.S. average state-local tax burden is 9.9 percent, according to the Tax Foundation, which translates into total state-local taxes paid per capita of $4,111, based on an average income of $41,146.
He!
