KSL: Utah’s tax burden at 20-year low
media mention“A separate report released Wednesday by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy showed that Utah’s tax system, like those of most other states, follows a regressive model, where families of lower incomes are taxed a larger share of their earnings than wealthier families.
That isn’t so for the personal income tax, which is more progressive, but sales and excise taxes take a heavier toll on lower wage families, which spend a greater percentage of their income on providing care for children.”
