I have trouble believing that Washington State, which has sales tax but no income tax ranks #13, while Oregon with an income tax but no sales tax ranks #35.

Another problem with the chart is that it does not clearly indicate the average percentage of income tax for each state.

Also, how does it make sense that different states have a different percentage of federal tax? (Unless the chart is accounting for the differential income levels between states, which is irrelevant for the person deciding which state to move to.)

I think they added in the 9% INCOME tax in Oregon.....we’re moving to Oregon FROM Washington soon....so I was paying particular attention...

I agree it seems like a very poorly designed chart.
State income tax is a big deal, especially if you are working. The cigarette tax may not be.
