LA sales tax could rise to 7 percent to eliminate income taxes

Yes please.

And no mention of a potential effect on property taxes. Interesting.

TX has no inc tax, but state sales tax is 6.25% and property taxes are much higher than LA.

I know LA has hung its hat on low prop taxes so I wonder if the rise to 7% would be enough to eliminate inc tax and keep prop taxes low.

But as a TX resident with plans to move back home eventually, I would totally be for it.

Would love it. Also would still be in favor if property taxes went up to compensate as well.

As least you can choose how and when to pay these taxes.

I live in Chesapeake, Va and the Tax man rapes me in every hole. State income tax, sales tax, City tax, dining tax, tourism tax, and some of the highest property taxes in the US. Can't wait to get out of here.

I would take an additional 3% State sales tax to swap out the state income tax in a heart beat.

keep the same waiver on food and medicine.

i paid $1500+ in state taxes on my pay stub last year, i would have to spend $50,000 (every year) to rack up $1500 with the additional 3% sales tax.....

Please please please

FL is 6.5% and extremely high property taxes.

For states that have changed to no state income tax, are there any stories of companies getting bold and lowering their pay scales? The only reason I ask is because I wouldn't put it past my employer to do something like that.

I'm pretty sure sales tax in Arkansas is north of 9% and we have income tax of 7%.
