11 Worst US States for High Taxes

8) Connecticut

Though you may want to settle in the northeastern US, Connecticut isn’t the best choice in terms of taxes. If you live here, you can expect your individual income tax to range from 3%-6.99%, depending on your income. Corporate income taxes are higher, at 9%. Therefore, if you run a business, you should consider this expense. Property taxes in Connecticut are also very high, at $2,726 per capita. According to the Tax Foundation of Washington, in 2016, almost 5 months’ worth of residents’ pay went to the government. The state does have good public schools and many manufacturing and technology jobs, as a result of these taxes. However, for incoming residents, the costs may count against living in Connecticut. Sales tax here is about on par with other states on this list, at 6.35%.
