WV has income tax and property tax, so it's a double whammy. Fortunately income tax is relatively cheap. Unfortunately they're talking about tax cuts when our state is ranked at the bottom for important things like schools, public health, obesity, etc... Instead of investing the "surplus", they just want us to stay at the bottom of the barrel.
How do you think they make up the difference of no state income tax? >

We rented when we lived in Texas, so it wasn't too bad.
Until we needed to buy a car. Even with a used car, we still had to pay a $1500 tax for the privilege of buying a car in the state of Texas. >

That's a sales taxes not income tax. Do other states not have sales tax on cars? >

Most due… but probably not as much. >

It's 6.25% in Texas and excludes any trade-in value. Looks like 7.25% in California, 4% in New York plus any county fees, 6% in Florida, and to pick a less populated state, 4% in Wyoming plus any county taxes. Texas doesn't seem too far outside the norm on car sales tax at least. >

6.5 here in MN. Though if the vehicle is over 10 years and low-value (sells for less than 3k), it's a flat 10 bucks. >

That's an interesting case for older/low value vehicles. That really helps people who can't afford anything newer. >

No state income taxes.
