The Bay State gets dubbed “Taxachusetts” sometimes, but that’s not really fair. Taxes in Massachusetts are average, with a flat 5.1% income tax and a flat 6.25% sales tax (municipalities can’t add to it). Property taxes are, well, average. But keep your eye on Massachusetts — the state’s long-run solvency is poor, according to one study.
