Overview

Known for its beautiful beaches, sunny weather, and lack of state income tax, Florida has long been a draw for retirees. The state also abolished its estate, inheritance, and gift tax, making it more attractive to the wealthy. Another reason why so many people and companies flock to the state is the lower sales taxes, property taxes, and corporate income taxes.

Florida Income Tax

Florida is one of a handful of states that don’t collect income tax.
