Kail Padgitt of the Tax Foundation: 2010 State Business Tax Climate Index
This week, the Tax Foundation released its 2010 State Business Tax Climate Index, which measures how "business-friendly" a state's tax system is. Equally important to the question of how much states tax, which we answer in our annual State and Local Tax Burdens study, is the question of how those taxes are raised.
In this week's Tax Policy Podcast, Staff Economist Kail Padgitt, who authored Tax Foundation Background Paper No. 59, "2010 State Business Tax Climate Index," discusses which states have the best and worst tax systems for business, as well as some tax policy trends that contributed to this year's rankings.
View Tax Foundation Background Paper No. 59, "2010 State Business Tax Climate Index" or an audio slideshow on the study's results.
