As 2026 began, income tax rates began to fall across nine states, representing nearly a quarter of all states. Other states cut their corporate taxes. No wonder famed Oregon start-up Dutch Bros. Coffee bailed Oregon for Arizona.
States are cutting taxes and attracting more businesses, which generate tax revenue that far exceeds the loss.
While other states cut taxes, Oregon keeps raising taxes, fees, and regulations.
Governor Kotek’s $4.3 billion gas tax was both a wage tax and a gas tax and fee hike, and would have financially impacted most companies in the state.
The states that cut their individual income taxes were Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma.
