State Tax and Spending Policy

The Tax Foundation's Center for State Fiscal Policy educates taxpayers about sound tax policy and the size of the tax burden at the state-local level. Our state team produces and markets timely and high-quality data, research, and analysis from a principled perspective that influences the debate toward simple, neutral, transparent, and stable tax policies.

Our most popular resources include current state income tax rates and sales/excise tax rates, our Facts & Figures booklet, Tax Freedom Day by state, the State Business Tax Climate Index, the State-Local Tax Burdens report, and reports on trends and individual states. Our experts are routinely relied upon for presentations, testimony, and media appearances on state tax and fiscal policy. (Click here for the Tax Foundation Speakers Bureau.)
