15. Kentucky
The Bluegrass State has a 6 percent levy with no other sales taxes. Regarding income tax, the state has a flat rate of 5 percent, yet, localities can make it higher.
In this U.S. state, the median property tax rate is $862 per $100,000 of assessed home value, and even there’s no estate tax, Kentucky imposes an inheritance tax. Thankfully, all Class A beneficiaries, meaning parents, brother, spouse, child, sister, grandchild, half-sister, and half-brother, are exempt.
If you don’t fall under this category, note that the state’s inheritance tax ranges between 4 percent and 16 percent.
