Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy: A Summary of Four Proposals from the Legislature’s Tax Working Group
ITEP Work in Action
Idaho has a graduated personal income tax, with rates increasing with household income. This has a balancing effect on the sales and property taxes,which generally cost middle and lower-earning households a larger share of their income.
When all state and local taxes are combined, Idaho’s tax distribution is relatively even across the income spectrum, although the top 20% of earners pay less in taxes as a percentage of family income.
