Taxation

With a low flat-rate corporate tax and a decreasing individual tax burden, Arizona has a business-friendly climate and is the Tucson region's partner in economic development.

Per Capita
In 2005, state taxes in Arizona were $1,853.58 per capita. Arizona ranks 40th out of the 50 states in per capita state tax amount, one of the U.S.'s lowest tax burdens, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2006.

Tax Burden
Since 1990, the tax burden in Arizona has fallen significantly due to tax cuts and the fact that individual incomes have risen faster than state and local tax collections. The decline has recently stabilized and is currently estimated at 10.1% of income, just below the national average of 10.6%. Arizona taxpayers pay $3,350 per capita in state and local taxes, according to The Tax Foundation, 2006.
