Income Tax Hike Considered Over Tobacco Tax Plan
North Carolina Senate explores a 1 percent income tax increase as an alternative to a tobacco tax. Sen Russell Kirby says the measure could raise 50 to 80 million over two years and gives the Finance Committee more tax options. Gov Scott’s plan would fund about 57 million from a tobacco levy. Kirby proposes corporate income tax to 6.6 percent and individual rates to 3.3 percent, with top bracket at 7.7 percent. Additional actions include police pension measures and license plate numbering changes for senators. A commission to study employee relations and other bills were noted.
