North Carolina’s Budget Relies On Growth Not Higher Rates
The Revenue Bill will not hit the average taxpayer with big tax hikes. Instead the state expects higher yields from broader business activity and taxes on new sources, with some relief on sales tax items and lower vehicle tag costs. The plan raises about 75.85 million for the next biennium, relying on a 7 percent activity increase. Tax changes include levies on gifts wines and intangibles, and updated rates for income tax brackets.
