As North Carolina lawmakers get closer to unveiling their tax reform proposals, the Tax Foundation has released another interesting map. This one details state per capita income tax collection.
North Carolina ranks No. 13, trailing only neighbor Virginia (No. 8) in the Southeast. Here’s what the Tax Foundation says about the data linked to the map.
New York State, with its high marginal tax rates and wealthy tax base, collected the most – an average of $1,864 per resident. At the bottom of the list are seven states with no state income tax – Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Arizona collected the least income tax per capita ($444) of states that levied an income tax on wage income.
