Utah lawmakers hailed a revised income tax measure to boost revenue, but the State Tax Commission report reveals a steep shift in tax burden. It shows 1939 receipts at 498,918 versus 212,708 in 1935, with lower brackets rising and upper brackets more than doubling. Despite higher rates, exemptions fell, and property taxes amplified the net rise for many taxpayers, while no remedies were proposed.
