Rename edit
Can we rename this to United States state tax levels please? Other states (Poland, Andhra Pradesh) also have tax levels that we might otherwise want to include here. 199.71.183.2 20:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- Good idea. Done.EECavazos 21:01, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Accuracy of figures edit
According to the US Census Bureau page [States Ranked by Total Taxes and Per Capita Amount: 2004 (Amounts are in thousands. Per capita amounts are in dollars. Revised March 2006)
]
http://www.census.gov/govs/statetax/04staxrank.html... they are way off. Where did these figures come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.45.205 (talk) 04:03, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Good Article, but edit
This is a good article, but it needs to address the issue of property tax as well. Some states may have higher taxes from sales and income, but lower taxes from property. For example, does the average homeowner in New Jersey really pay less overall in taxes than a Delaware resident. This gets difficult to calculate because property taxes are assessed at the county and/or municipal level. I'm not sure how to approach this. Suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.230.141.72 (talk) 21:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure where to get the data but it is a good point. I believe Florida was seriously considering the removal of property taxes and putting it into their sales tax. Morphh (talk) 23:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

This is a bit of a wikipedia wide problem I guess. --72.255.29.53 (talk) 03:36, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Comparison to personal income edit
As stated in the intro, the comparison to per capita personal income is flawed. I presume this is why the original research tag was added to the article back in 2011. The sources provide individual income tax revenue per state if we want that. —Mrwojo (talk) 19:17, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
I see that the shares are now shown as share of total taxes. Would Income tax, Sales tax, License tax make better sense to compare against State GDP? If someone wants to compare income between locations, that is the factor they would want to adjust their incomes with - per capita tax by per capita income.

Tax table edit
Are zeros to mean there is no such tax in that state? Or is that what the Xs are for? This is confusing.
- Is there any way to include % of tax? I seem to recall seeing that somewhere. Sir Joseph (talk) 20:19, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Discrepancies Between Table And Graphic edit
Why does the Effective-Tax-Rates graphic show Florida with a blue bar for the revenue it receives from property tax when the table shows it as receiving next to no revenue from property tax? Similarly, why does the graphic show Nevada with a yellow bar for the revenue it receives from income tax when the table shows it as receiving no revenue from income tax?
If the graphic and the table are correct for their respective years, then given this discrepancy, why is not only the more recent of the two included? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.193.39.153 (talk) 11:40, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Here is some data for 2020 that is used in the updated graphic.--Wikideas1 (talk) 06:17, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm dropping a potential source here because I think it has information that will work well in this article. It presents data that shows how different levels of taxation are driving migration within the United States.
