Which states have the best business tax climate?
Deciding on the state in which to form your corporation or LLC is relatively easy if you will only be doing business in one state. But the decision is much more complex if you plan to do business in multiple states or are considering incorporating in a state other than the state in which you will be doing business. You will then want to see how the states under consideration compare in a number of areas. You’ll be considering things such as their laws and regulations, available workforce, transportation, education, quality of life, weather, and importantly their business tax climate.
To assist you in evaluating states’ business tax climate we call your attention to the results of a study performed by the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax research group based in Washington, D.C. that was founded in 1937. According to the Tax Foundation’s 2009 State Business Tax Climate Index, following are the 10 best and 10 worst states:
