State Doing Job on Taxing Folks
The Southern Regional Education Board said Arkansas is doing a good job taxing residents with average or higher rates on corporate and individual incomes and on sales. The report notes property tax as the only potential new source, estimated to yield about $10 million annually, while Arkansas is blocked by a 1958 constitutional amendment from levying a state property tax. It adds that the 16 states could collectively raise about $1.85 billion annually by using existing tax opportunities.
