Oklahoma holds 6th lowest tax burden

TaxesOKWith a week remaining until Tax Day many Americans find the current tax code too confusing to determine exactly how much their states are actually taking from their income in taxes. The personal finance website WalletHub conducted an analysis of 2016’s States with the Highest & Lowest Tax Burdens to find the details.

In order to determine which states tax their residents most aggressively, WalletHub’s analysts compared the tax burdens of the 50 states by measuring property taxes, individual income taxes, and state and gross receipts taxes — the three components of state tax burden — as percentages of the total personal income in each state.
