My state, Florida, has No State Income Tax, does NOT TAX Groceries OR Medicines, prescription or OTC, and has a State Sales tax of 6% with each county and school board can add 1/2% local option IF their VOTERS approve it, but for only 3 years..............

NH does not yet have state income tax nor sales tax, not for lack of trying on the part of the democrats, though.

We have a current use tax, which taxes undeveloped parts of your property at a much lower rate than the parts you are actually using for living on. It’s an effort to keep NH as undeveloped as possible.

There is also a view tax for people with exceptional views of the scenery that increase their property value. For that reason, many people who could have nice views, don’t cut down trees to keep their taxes lower.

The 1913 Income Tax form. It's a whopping 4 pages, which includes all instructions.

Here's the tax table. Note that if you make $20,000 or less you owe nothing.

Seems like a fine tax law to me, and not weird at all. 🙂

Louisiana: Tax holiday

Every Labor Day weekend in Louisiana, a second amendment sales tax holiday provides “a local sales and use tax exemption on any consumer purchase of firearms, ammunition, and hunting supplies.” The tax exemption even includes lawn chairs explicitly purchased for hunting.
