UTA-released figures compiled from Census Bureau information show Utah&#8217;s 1976 per capita income tax to be $114.46 compared to the national average of $100.24. The highest state was Alaska at $332.86. Actually 44 states collected individual income taxes in 1976. Of these, Utah ranked 18th income taxes per capita and 12th in income taxes per $1000 of personal income. Some of the states at the low end of the income tax scale are Tennessee, $5.25 per capita ; New Hampshire, $7.51; New Jersey, $13.79; Connecticut, $16.20; and Louisiana, $30.63. Intermountain states with income tax shown include Montana, $129.51, 12th among states; Colorado, $124.03, 14th ; Idaho, $118.92, 17th ; Arizona, $71.75, 31st ; New Mexico, $49.82, 36th. Jack A. Olson, executive vice president of the Utah Taxpayers Association, reports that all of Utah&#8217;s individual income tax goes to the Uniform School Fund. Schools also get about 60 per cent of the property taxes collected in Utah. It&#8217;s good to know where we stand &#8211; and it&#8217;s especially important that our legislators understand the comparative tax burden when they hold their next session.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Statistics released by the Utah Taxpayers Association confirm what a lot of taxpayers have suspected: Our state income tax burden is well above average among states.
