I know it varies by location. But my point was that the states that don’t have income taxes get their revenues in other ways. Since one of my sons lives near Austin, I am familiar with all of the local taxes and fees they have there. I was shocked by the $1000 auto registration, high local sales taxes, and of course the property taxes. I’m also surprised at all of the fee highways they have in the urban areas in Texas. Yes, they have no income tax, but they still rake in the revenue from residents and non-residents.
But thats mostly isolated to Austin and other metro areas.
I would bet the average Texan is taxed less than that.
