Idaho Tax Burden Among Western States Cited By Officials
Idaho's per capita state and local tax bill ranked near the bottom of the 11 western states in 1962, with $191 per person, only New Mexico lower at $187. The Associated Taxpayers of Idaho, citing Commerce Clearing House data, notes that Oregon and Montana taxed $230 and $232 per person, Wyoming $246, while Oregon's higher income reduces burden to about 9.85 percent compared with Idaho's 9.84 percent. The bulletin stresses that tax bill versus burden differ, and Idaho's burden aligns with Oregon's despite the lower bill.
