Kentucky changed its tax structure substantially in 2018, moving to a 5% flat tax (to which localities can add, an average of 2.08%, according to the Tax Foundation). Deductions for health insurance premiums, long-term care insurance coverage, and medical expenses were eliminated. More items are now subject to the state’s 6% sales tax, too, including club fees, pet care services, and landscaping services.
However, the Bluegrass State still prevents localities from adding to that sales tax, and the property tax burden is light.
