I'd rather pay a state and local income tax than the property tax I pay on future earnings.

Property tax on future earnings?

It’s pretty low. 2% sales tax.


That’s on top of the state rate of 6%

I'm pretty sure I paid a Birmingham income tax when I lived there.

I keep reading all of these post about cities that levy an income tax, but how do the cities know how much you earn? The only way to get your annual earnings is to get it from the IRS or the state.

State rate is 4%. But that’s regular. Baton Rouge city tax is 5.75%. Then you have the state too. So in perspective, that 2% is really low.

Philadelphia.
State sales tax - 4%
City sales tax - 2%
City income tax - 4%.
Total 10%

Baton Rouge
State sales tax - 5%
City sales tax - 5.5 to 7.5% (certain areas like mask off Cortana)
Total 10.5 - 12.5%.
