#1 Wyoming
State Income Tax: None
State Sales Tax: 4%
Estate Tax/Inheritance Tax: No/No
Thanks to the abundant revenues that Wyoming collects from oil and mineral companies, its residents have one of the lowest tax burdens in the nation, according to the Tax Foundation, a nonprofit research group in Washington, D.C. There is no state income tax. The state sales tax is 4%, and counties in the Equality State can only add up to 1% in additional levies -- a very low ceiling. Plus, prescription drugs and groceries are exempt from state sales taxes. For most property, only 9.5% of market value is subject to tax, so a home worth $100,000 is taxed on $9,500 of assessed value.

Zim: I'm pretty sure Pope Snapits holds Wyoming in
very low esteem . . . anybody know what sort of
climate Wyoming has?
