Arkansas
Our ranking: Mixed tax picture

Property taxes are low in the Natural State, but sales taxes are the third highest in the country — even groceries are taxed (albeit at a lower rate). Income tax is particularly complicated in Arkansas, as the state uses multiple rate schedules that give it 16 different tax brackets in practice. Notably, service pay for active-duty members of the armed forces is completely exempt from income tax.
