State tax levels in the United States

States use a different combination of sales, income, excise taxes, and user fees.

This table includes the per capita tax collected at the state level.

This table does not necessarily reflect the actual tax burdens borne directly by individual persons or businesses in a state.

For example, the direct state tax burden on individuals in Alaska is far lower than the table would indicate.

Alaska collects most of its revenue from corporate taxes on the oil and gas industry.
