Note: The State Business Tax Climate Index is a measure of how each state's tax laws affect economic
performance. A rank of 1 means the state's tax system is more favorable for business; a rank of 50 means the
state's tax system is less favorable for business. Component rankings do not average across to total. States
without a given tax rank equally as number 1.

Note: Figures are calculated by dividing each state's "Intergovernmental Revenue" into its
"General Revenue." "General Revenue" includes all tax revenue but excludes utility revenue,
liquor store revenue, and investment income from state pension funds. DC is included only in
state-local combined data.

Note: Brackets are for single taxpayers. Some states double bracket widths for joint filers (AL, AZ, CT, HI, ID, KS, LA,
ME, NE, OR). NY doubles all except the 6.85% bracket, which is effective at $300,000. CA doubles all but the top
bracket. Some states increase but do not double brackets for joint filers (GA, MN, NM, NC, ND, OK, RI, VT, WI). MD
decreases some and increases others. NJ adds a 2.45% rate and doubles some bracket widths. Consult Tax Foundation
website for tables for joint filers and married filing separately.
(a) 2014 rates but 2013 brackets for California, Idaho, Montana, and Ohio. Laws in these states forbid revenue officials
from inflation-indexing brackets until mid-year.
(b) Tax applies to interest and dividend income only.
(c) Rates apply to regular tax table. A special tax table is available for low income taxpayers which reduces their tax
payments.
(d) Bracket levels adjusted for inflation each year.
(e) These states allow some or all of federal income tax paid to be deducted from state taxable income.
(f) Local income taxes are excluded. Twelve states have county or city level income taxes; the average rate within each
jurisdiction is: 0.5% in Ala; 1.38% in Del.; 1.49% in Ind.; 0.5% in Kans; 2.08% in Ky.; 2.88% in Md.; 1.75% in Mich.; 0.5%
in Mo.; 2.11% in N.Y.; 2.25% in Ohio; 0.36% in Ore.; and 2% in Pa. Weighted local rates are from Tax Foundation, 2014
State Business Tax Climate Index.
(g) New York and Nebraska have "tax benefit recapture," by which many high-income taxpayers pay their top tax rate on
all income, not just on amounts above the bracket threshold.
(h) Ohio has suspended inflation indexing for the years 2013-2015. Maine has suspended inflation indexing for the years
2014-2015.

Note: Gross receipts taxes are complex business taxes imposed at a low rate but on a wide base
of transactions, resulting in high effective tax rates that can vary by industry. These taxes also
often have minimum taxes that can result in much higher effective rates for some small
businesses.
(a) Virginia's tax is locally levied and rates vary by business and jurisdiction. Approximately half of
counties do not levy the tax. Some counties instead levy a capital stock tax.

(a) City, county, and municipal rates vary. These rates are weighted by population to compute an average local tax rate.

(c) The sales taxes in Hawaii, New Mexico, and South Dakota have broad bases that include many business-to-business services.
(d) Due to data limitations, table does not include sales taxes in local resort areas in Montana.
(e) Some counties in New Jersey are not subject to statewide sales tax rates and collect a local rate of 3.5%. Their average local score is represented as a negative.

Note: The American Petroleum Institute (API) has developed a methodology for determining the average tax rate on a
gallon of fuel. Rates may include any of the following: excise taxes, environmental fees, storage tank taxes, other fees
or taxes, and general sales tax. In states where gasoline is subject to the general sales tax, or where the fuel tax is
based on the average sale price, the average rate determined by API is sensitive to changes in the price of gasoline.
States that fully or partially apply general sales taxes to gasoline: CA, CT, GA, IL, IN, MI, and NY.

(a) Previous editions of Facts and Figures have not included license taxes; if such
taxes were excluded as in previous years, state and local road spending would be
only 35.2% funded by user fees and user taxes, similar to Fiscal Year 2010.

(a) Maryland and New Jersey have both an estate tax and an inheritance tax. See table 34.
(b) Nebraska's inheritance tax is levied at the county level.
(c) New Jersey's inheritance tax only applies to estates over $1M.
(d) Parent-to-child transfers to children 21 years and under, transfers of farms
and farming equipment, and transfers of some family-owned buessines
are exempt.
Note: Inheritance taxes are levied on the posthumous transfer of assets based on relationship to the decedent.
Generally, Class A beneficiaries are spouses, children, and often siblings. Class B beneficiaries are non-immediate
family members. Class C beneficiaries are non-family members. Unlike estate taxes, the term "exemption" here app
not to the size of the estate but to the size of the gift itself.
