2015 State Business Tax Climate Index

Executive Summary

The Tax Foundation’s State Business Tax Climate Index enables business leaders, government policymakers, and taxpayers to gauge how their states’ tax systems compare. While there are many ways to show how much is collected in taxes by state governments, the Index is designed to show how well states structure their tax systems, and provides a road-map to improving these structures.

The 10 best states in this year’s Index are:


1. Wyoming
2. South Dakota
3. Nevada
4. Alaska
5. Florida
6. Montana
7. New Hampshire
8. Indiana
9. Utah
10. Texas

The absence of a major tax is a common factor among many of the top ten states. Property taxes and unemployment insurance taxes are levied in every state, but there are several states that do without one or more of the major taxes: the corporate tax, the individual income tax, or the sales tax. Wyoming, Nevada, and South Dakota have no corporate or individual income tax; Alaska has no individual income or state-level sales tax; Florida has no individual income tax; and New Hampshire and Montana have no sales tax.

But this does not mean that a state cannot rank in the top ten while still levying all the major taxes. Indiana and Utah, for example, have all the major tax types, but levy them with low rates on broad bases.

The 10 lowest ranked, or worst, states in this year’s Index are:


41. Iowa
42. Connecticut
43. Wisconsin
44. Ohio
45. Rhode Island
46. Vermont
47. Minnesota
48. California
49. New York
50. New Jersey

The states in the bottom ten suffer from the same afflictions: complex, non-neutral taxes with comparatively high rates. New Jersey, for example, suffers from some of the highest property tax burdens in the country, is one of just two states to levy both an inheritance and an estate tax, and maintains some of the worst structured individual income taxes in the country.

Retail Booms from SoBe to Downtown

MIAMI—With mega retail projects emerging in Downtown Miami, where does that leave Lincoln Road? Will buyers still be willing to pay top dollar for Lincoln Road retail with the likes of Brickell City Centre and Miami Worldcenter emerging?

Swire’s Brickell City Centre inked a deal with Bal Harbour Shops on the retail front. The 2.9 million-square-foot mixed-use development will include a high end 500,000-square-foot retail center.

Swire also plans to develop condominiums, hotel and other elements of the project in the third quarter of 2015, offering built in shoppers. Swire’s retail center will host a Sacks Fifth Avenue, for starters.

Meanwhile, the first phase of the $2 billion Miami Worldcenter includes retail, residential towers, and an expo center and adjacent hotel that promises to elevate the blighted neighborhood to destination status. Forbes Company and Taubman will deliver a 765,000 square-foot shopping mall anchored by Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, and dining and entertainment options.

Is there room enough for Lincon Road, Bal Harbour Shops, Miami Worldcenter, Brickell City Centre, the Design District and other retail centers in Miami? Will retailers pay top dollar on Lincoln Road with so much new inventory coming online?

Adam Lustig, a partner in Miami-based Bilzin Sumberg who has been involved in some of the recent real estate deals that have led Lincoln Road, tells GlobeSt.com buyers are willing to pay top dollar on Lincoln Road because of the tenants Lincoln Road is attracting and the rents they are paying.

“Lincoln Road is unique,” Lustig says. “Both locals and tourists really enjoy the pedestrian mall experience. I don’t think the Brickell City Centre, Miami Worldcenter or the Design District will hurt sales on Lincoln Road. They are all fantastic projects that will help bring Miami to the next level in retail.

“It is not a fixed pie, though,” Lustig says. “As Miami transforms into a world class city and tourism continues to expand, I think there is room for all of these projects to be successful.”

Home prices up 11 percent in South Florida, study says!

South Florida fared better than most of the nation in July when it came to rising home prices.
The metro area of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties saw an 11 percent increase from a year earlier, according to data from the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Index. San Francisco and Las Vegas were the only other areas in the 20-city index with double digit growth, according to the Sun Sentinel.All of the cities showed year-over-year price gains in July, but none posted better annual returns than they did in June.

While home price gains have slowed in South Florida, the three-county region fared better than most of the nation in July, according to a report released Tuesday.

The metro area of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties saw an 11 percent increase from a year earlier, data from the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Index show. San Francisco and Las Vegas were the only other areas in the 20-city index with double-digit growth.

All of the cities showed year-over-year price gains in July, but none posted better annual returns than they did in June.
The “broad-based deceleration in home prices” continues, prices still are rising faster than inflation.
“The slower pace of home price appreciation is consistent with most of the other housing data on housing starts and home sales,” he said.

Many analysts consider the Case-Shiller index the leading authority on national home prices. Unlike local Realtor boards, which release a median price for homes sold in a given month, the index measures the price of the same house over time. But the index lags Realtor board data by a month and does not include condominiums.

“Supply and demand are starting to even out more than they have over the last year or so,” Ehrlich said. “When that happens, buyers have more options, and you start to see a slowdown in price appreciation.”
