And 47th is a pre-income tax ranking 🥴
WA’s tax system now ranks 47th in the country, according to the Tax Foundation’s newly released 2027 State Tax Competitiveness Index.View quoted post on X
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.
