Every Alaska resident will receive an annual “Permanent Fund Dividend.” Unfortunately, compared to 2015, when the dividend was $2,072, last year each legal resident received $1,606. However, the good thing is that gas taxes in Alaska are actually the lowest all over the country and people who live here pay no state income taxes or state sales taxes.
When it comes to the average sales tax, according to the Tax Foundation, it is 1.76 percent. But, if you live in Alaska’s largest city, namely Anchorage, you will pay no sales taxes.
