WA’s tax system now ranks 47th in the country, according to the Tax Foundation’s newly released 2027 State Tax Competitiveness Index.

Only New Jersey, California and New York rank worse.

The ranking doesn’t yet include WA’s new 9.9% income tax, scheduled to take effect in 2028.

I assume that will bring us down to 49th.

We’ve dropped from #6 to #47 in just 13 years.

"Washington has long competed for workers, entrepreneurs and companies partly by not taxing individual income. The new levy changes that proposition for precisely the people with the greatest ability to choose where they live and invest."

It was as obvious then as it is now.

Interesting to hear comments from Dem members that this income tax could surely NEVER apply to public pensions. Yet the bill specifically amends over a dozen pension statutes to make sure pension income is included in the definition of adjusted gross income. #waleg
