NOTES:

The above data is based on the original 4 & 4 plan from the Spring 1999 Special Session. The original 4 & 4 plan included elimination of the state tax on food, reduction of the sales tax on other items by 2%, and the enactment of a 4% personal income tax with $10,000 per adult and $2,500 per child dependent deduction.

For an overview of how the recent graduated income tax plan will affect different income groups, see TFT Fact Sheet:  How a Graduated Income Tax Works.

The impact of the Governor's Fall Plan (3.75 & 3.75) will affect different groups, follow the links to the Full ITEP Report (PDF Format) at How a Graduated Income Tax Works.
