States with NO State Income Tax!!!! Tax Friendly States 

I do appreciate tax breaks but navigating loopholes feels dangerous. How can I ensure I'm taking advantage of tax-advantaged investment structures without potentially encountering unintended consequences?

We moved to NH from NJ a few years ago between property, sales and income taxes we have about 20% more take home pay a year.

I live in Oregon now used to live in Texas. Much cheaper in utilities, no sales tax, property taxes on my house in Texas was 13%-15% of my pay. In Oregon I pay 2800 in property tax. And when I moved my pay went up by $11 more an hour. My house payment is less in Oregon than Texas. Texas also house much higher rates on homeowners insurance and car insurance than Oregon due to all the hail storms. And my electric bill and water bill was 3 times the amount in Texas due to the extensive heat throughout the year. Left Texas and will not go back. No state income tax is not all that it is cracked up to be.

I think you should do a video on the overall tax load. Income taxes in one state might be more than offset by other taxes and fees in another.

I like the fact that Oregon has ZERO sales tax, and I want it to stay that way!

Just because there are no income taxes, I live in Nevada, but they often make them up elsewhere. When I first moved here groceries were taxed. A couple years later the legislature removed it. If you are thinking of moving to one, research all the taxes in that state and how they will affect you.

When we moved to Florida in 2005, my first check had no State tax. I cleared $700 more a month. When in Ky I paid taxes out the wazoo.

NH is gorgeous but cold! FL is great but really hot. Those are the only two I would consider on this list. Great information! Thanks 👍😊

You Rock Briggs you Rock Blessings from Redondo Beach CA 🏖️

Washington is NOT tax friendly. It has high business taxes. Property tax DOES effect renters. It gets passed on.

When I lived in Alaska that yearly check was great because I had 4 kids and a wife. That means I got 6 checks each year and that took care of all of my other taxes like property tax etc.

When you’re retired your income is obviously much less and if it’s mostly social security which is non taxable in most states. What retirees should be looking for is low property taxes not income taxes.

Every state I have visited with no income tax, there were fees on everything. FL has tolls on every road that gets you somewhere fast. And they are careful to not use the word "tax", but charge fees for everything in schools, building supplies, everything. Give me a tax system, where at least the citizens who vote have a say.

hey, Briggs. would you consider videos on weather in different areas?

Now, this is a wonderful Video!🔥🔥🔥

The DMV license plate tags in Tennessee are only 29 bucks a year.

We need one on states not taxing social security….

Can you do a list of highest taxes- love your channel & ty for all the you do for our entertainment

THANKS, AND HAPPY SUNDAY BRIGGS!! 😃👍🌴

The cost of goods in Alaska is very high. Grocery prices are triple or quadruple what they are in the lower 48.

Thanks Briggs, for the info you provide. Just so we can make informed decisions on moving to another State!

I think living in a state with no income state tax is better because most other types of tax are about spending. I can control what I buy, which means I can control the amount of tax I pay out.

Renters pay property tax, just indirectly. It’s an expense to the landlord who just passes the cost along in the rent.

I'm in the process of making a spreadsheet of states and the traits that are important to me. Your videos give me a lot of good information and starting points for research. Thanks!

Tennessee also taxes groceries, which is why so many of them migrate north into Kentucky on payday to shop, as we do not tax groceries. And our sales tax is 6%. And regarding South Dakota, a neighbor of mine moved back there a few years ago, and he tells me that real estate is through the roof as outsiders moving there are driving the prices up. Same thing with the metro areas of Tennessee, with Nashville being stupid high.

So we went to Honesdale last Sept and Johnson City, TN, this Sept. leaning towards TN (NorthEast only) due to having the same climate as I currently enjoy. Honesdale is one zone cooler and more cloudy days. Plus it was a bit too difficult to find level land to even build a garden. Loved the meat store in town though! Have you gotten any closer to finding your retirement spot, Briggs? We are the same age. Thanks!!

Great video, you did it again. Any chance on doing a video of the migratory habits of various groups of snowbirds. I’ve considered buying a cheap mobile home in two places and moving back and forth every 6 months. For example there is a community in Niland Ca called Fountain of Youth (mobile homes and fancy RV’s) that seems to have the same crowd going there every winter. They all know each other.

Those states without a personal income tax make up for it with other forms of taxation.

I’m moving from MD to WA. I hate paying the high property taxes and state income taxes in MD. The state motto should be, “Maryland, if we could tax it, we would.” Do you know that if you buy a new car in one state and paid 3-4K on the sales tax, once you move to MD, you still need to pay the 6-7% tax on the vehicle again? Ouch.

*_Love to see a chart from 1 to 50 of the best tax friendly state so I know where my state ranks..._*

Great video! 👌 Thank you.

Great timing! just trying to find a place I can move to w/o income tax :-)

I'm in Illinois! Any of these sound wonderful!!

Driving through Tennessee from Ohio the first thing you notice is the high sales tax especially on fast food which isn't taxed in Ohio if you take it to go.

While car shopping, I learned location counts in the Silver State. For example, taxes were cheaper in Carson City as compared to Reno.

Moved to WY from CA 4 years ago. WOW what a difference in bring home income.

Alaska also has: free hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for residents once they reach 60. When you reach 65 you can get a Permanent Registration sticker for one vehicle. Also, when you reach 65, you can get a Tax Exempt status which eliminates sales tax on food and property. (Possibly on prescription drugs too, but I get mine through the VA so I'm not sure about that.) Love the channel!

Great info! Alaska: is it true that even if there's no sales tax, things cost quite a bit more because they have to haul most everything from mainland U.S.?

Thanks for the information Briggs.

Great info! Thanks!

Defected from Californica 17 yrs ago to Florida.....2% COLA has increased my income quite a bit....Just guessing, but figure I've saved upwards of $100K of CA tax since defecting in 2004....

I live in both WA and AZ. Although no income tax in WA, they have high fees on everything. They even make you pay an additional $140 on top of annual vehicle registration if you have an electric car.

Being a senior over 65 I get a big property tax exemption on our primary residence. We have a modern modest home and we pay nothing.

Another great video ! THUMBS UP!

Being taxed on consumption versus on income means having greater control over how much tax you pay. Paying tax on groceries in Tennessee is more than offset by the much lower cost of housing and energy.

Tax on food was the first thing I noticed moving from Ohio to TN. Food is taxed at 6.75% in Bedford county where I live. Other grocery store items are taxed at 9.75%.

Thank you . Pls do a list of best up coming states in the US. future places to invest or to move the next 10 years

I have a friend in Alaska! My best friends brother! It's the oil subsidies, but you have to spend 6 months there to get it! Went there in 94! Simply amazing!! Always tell them I'm coming back, but life gets in the way.

Living here in Nevada they make up for that state income tax by having government tax fees when you register your car. When I got my 2019 civic I had to pay $360 for Registration for just 1 year.

They make up for it in other ways. Believe me. I've lived in both.

great video briggs! Have you done a video about states with no sales tax? NH is the only one on this list I would consider moving to .

Briggs, You Only Named 9 States Total Not 10: Wyoming, Washington State, Texas Tennessee, South Dakota New Hampshire, Nevada, Florida, Alaska Thanks Again, NYC

Property tax in Austin and the surrounding suburbs on just the median home has doubled since 2010 to around $8,000/yr.

BORN FREE, TAXED TO DEATH! My motto! 🙄🙄🙄

Thanks Briggs!

Hmm, New Hampshire with no state income or sales tax sounds really attractive...but I don't think I'd last through one winter. 😩

I'm in Ohio...there's state income tax and in my county there's an 8.5% sales tax on EVERYTHING. Some of the sales tax is a "temporary tax" enacted like 20 years ago to pay for new stadiums to benefit the rich team owners...it's a permanent temporary tax...

Vancouver Wa. No income tax. Close enough to Oregon for no sales tax.

Good stuff😀👍🏼

Hey Briggs Great to see You 👀

Lots of us in Texas find that property tax debilitating. Eventually as the appraising districts keep adding the annual nearly 10% valuation, the property tax just gets out of hand. I will get priced out of the home I own simply due to property taxes at some point.

Sales tax, property tax, and income tax must all be taken into account for your personal situation. I have worked it out, and we pay less taxes in CA than we would in TX. As a resident of San Jose CA, I constantly see stuff on the internet that does not match my daily life. There is no poop or hypodermic needles in the streets, there are homeless in certain places, but aren't there in every place that has a survivable winter? I did the math, and a person making $100,000 a year with a $500,000 house pays about the same in TX and CA, because TX property taxes are twice CA. Being retired, I don't buy much, so sales tax is unimportant, and my $1.3M house would cost over $1000 a month more in property taxes. CA does not tax social security. So CA may have a rep as high tax, and it is, but not so much as you might think depending on your situation. Real estate costs way more, but TX is catching up due to economic success, same as CA. Plus in CA, our electrical grid doesn't fail statewide for multiple days. Those high taxes pay for many wonderful parks near me where I go every week. The climate and culture are wonderful. I look at articles about where to retire, and I never find a place that matches CA. CA has its problems, so do TX and other red states. The idea that CA is a hellhole because it is blue is wrong. The govt does not control nearly as much as those who would condemn a place because it is politically distateful to them would have you believe. Most of it is baked in the cake, politicians just take credit or deflect blame. My nephew works in Corpus Christi and came out for vacation. We spent 3 days walking through many neighborhoods in SF and there was no evidence of the hellhole his co-wiorkers warned him about. He said they wouldn't believe him when he told them that. Their attitude is not based on dispassionate fact gathering, it is based on tribal politics motivated reasoning.

Impressive and very interesting video ✋

Thanks man,have bless day and"Be nice to each other" {I like that}

Hubby and I live in a Very Small 'Village' in SW Ohio---believe it or not, we are frickin' GOUGED on property taxes every year. Thank the Lord our mortgage is paid off.

I’m no fan of state income taxes. That being said taxes paid are an amalgamation of income tax, sales tax, property taxes, and other taxes and fees. Politicians always want more money

The tax burden thing only really affects you if you’re moving from a HIGH tax place like CA. Otherwise, you’re not gonna see much difference in your wallet. If you have a large amount of money, by all means head to your closest tax haven.

Can you do a video of places (cities) that don’t have sales tax?

Would have like to see fuel tax included in the video. Washington really sticks it to us.

First off love your channels. Here goes: I am 65 yr old and on social security as my only income. Now I am a retired RN that worked over 45 years in health care so I do make more than 1500$ a month but only by a few hundred. Where in lies the problem I don't qualify for any state aid as I make too much BUT I am living below the poverty level based on your great series on poverty levels in each state. Soooo (shrug)

Delaware does not impose a state or local sales tax, but does impose a gross receipts tax on the seller of goods (tangible or otherwise) or provider of services in the state.

Happy in NH. PS: Could I see more of the S. Dakota Gov.?

My Florida property tax went down this year, and is still less than a month's apartment rent in San Diego.

I moved to South Dakota from Nebraska (the tax me state of the midwest). I really enjoy not having to pay state income taxes. I enjoy the low cost of living however when I go grocery shopping i see the tax. However I'm glad I don't get taxed on my income and my groceries like in Nebraska. It works for me since I don't have a family and I'm on my own so schools are not of great importance. If I did have a family I would have to look at schools and or going to a private school. The governor is up for re election in 2022.

Tennessee sales tax is INSANE! i have lived here 6 years and still get sticker shock.

Washington just passed the long-term care insurance tax that begins January 2022. Even though we will pay into this until we retire, we’ll only get to receive $36,500 max if we need it. And if anyone paying into this moves out of state, they just forfeited it for life even if they return to Washington. Because of that, many private nationwide long-term insurance companies imposed an application deadline that ended November 1st, so good luck getting on especially if you have any preexisting dispositions.

From South Dakota real estate is getting high here from out of state people buying here. Which makes hard for the locals to afford since wages in South Dakota are low. A buddy of mine told a person who moved here from another state that’s fine but do not bring your friends with. Yes the school systems struggle here keeping teachers and other funding. Our teachers are one of lowest paid in the nation.

I'm saving this video to give me a state on this list to where I may eventually retire to.

Great video! Thank you! If I reside in New Hampshire am I able not to charge sales? Purdue I have to charge sales tax in the area that I'm doing business?

A lot of people live in Washington state, but close enough to the Oregon border (they have no sales tax) so they can shop there and get the best of both.

I spent most of my life living in Texas, Washington, Alaska, and Wyoming. It is strange to me that states actually have an income tax. Washington State has a new income tax coming in 2022, though.

The tax burden falls on land owners. You own land, you pay LOTS of tax. And while there may be no income tax per se, they love FEES. Fees are NOT tax and so they get away with saying it is not adding tax or creating new tax burdens because FEES are your input into whatever financial pot they want money for. For instance, One fee among many that I see on my electric bill is a research and development fee with a rather professional and pretty name which basically charges me to input money into THEIR cookie jar for things they MAY want to do. Don’t bother calling them up and complaining, they will just tell you to get your electric from somewhere else…and if you are rural those choices are slim to none. Income tax free states are for anyone not planning on having kids or owning a home.

Thank you 😊

I went through Wyoming only once Going to Wisconsin to visit my big sister. My parents and I drove in a Ford Galaxy my dad purchased when him and his Buddies had one to many beers and couldn't get out the contract lol. My mom and dad and my moms little Chihuahua in the front seat and I had the hole back seat to myself. I had a battery operated TV and a ice box full of sodas. what I remember the most was the lack of trees and the wind and the cold because my dad would keep all the windows down to stay awake. I was literally almost frozen and if I complained they would say shut up or we will pull over and give you something to Whine about. But other than that it was a enjoyable trip.

I lived in Las Vegas and Im from NYC. They both have pros and cons.

welcome from Hungary, where sales taxes are 27%, and income taxes are 35-40% :D This is a Bear Grylls kinda challenge to live here :D

Best place to live for young people and people who want to raise a family, I live in LA CA since 94 but the crime and homeless problem (mostly people from other states and or countries ) where is the best place to live where it’s safe as well, and solid nature to relax and unwind with the planet 🌎. Thank you for your channel

Do a list of best states for small businesses, please?

Would be great to see a Top 10 state taxes with low/no small business corporation taxes...s corps/LLC's, ect.

There are also several states that DO NOT charge state income tax on military or federal government pensions. Surprisingly, New York is one of those states. In addition, there's a pretty high threshold for payment of state income tax on Social Security payments, as well. Many who receive Social Security fall under this threshold, and pay NO state income tax. In addition, Iowa's governor recently signed a bill to exempt retirement income from their state income tax beginning in tax year 2023.

You should start talking about riel areas too

For clarification, Texas has the 7th highest property tax rate in the nation(he phrased it weirdly). Also with TX, you're almost guaranteed to pay 8.25 in sales tax, deal with an over-inflated RE market, and severely congested roads in every mid-sized city. Gas and electricity are modest I suppose, but mover beware.

NV has a fairly high sales tax but no State Tax. No tax on food. Briggs, you'd like Veteran exemptions on Property Tax and auto tax for Veterans. No SSA tax. Right now, the rental and housing market is really expensive, but it changes. Come on down! I wish you would! I am sure you'd find more good things.

Property taxes in Texas are obscene. Depending on your city and school district (they are separate entities) you can easily pay $13K /yr on a $500K house.

I am you big fan.. U make such an amazing video.. But when you make videos.. You make only videos of top 10. Plz make videos that include all 50states.. Make videos about evergreen places to live in each states..(employment,scenary,weather,community each and every thing to live)

Had to ask if you can formulate a study. My reason is motivated my my day to day interaction with the general public. Form drivers to shoppers to everything else. What are the 10 states where people posses the MOST / LEAST common sense. Thanks

Yo Briggs. I am envisioning a video about states with the most tolled roads and bridges. With the east coast having a lot of turnpikes, I would bet a good chunk of the top 10 would most tolled states would be on the right coast.

This is the list of states I would actually move to(and the one I live in).

Ty!

In Sweden we pay around 40% in income tax, 25% sales tax, and on fuel around 65%. We keep about 30-40% of our money here..
