The Arkansas legislature is meeting this week for a special session that may further reduce taxes for Arkansas. How would the proposed income tax changes affect taxpayers? ACRE Director Jeremy Horpedahl @jmhorp crunches the numbers

[Jeremy Horpedahl 🥚📉 @jmhorp]

Arkansas: we have an income tax bill filed for the special session. SB1 and HB1001 will lower the top personal income tax rate from 4.4% to 3.9%, and the top corporate income tax rate from 4.8% to 4.3%. The changes would be retroactive to January 2024

David Boaz with the @ACRE_UCA reading group in Fall 2022. He was very generous with his time and answering all questions from students thoughtfully.

RIP David Boaz

I'm very excited that @ACRE_UCA has once again partnered with the Tax Foundation to write book on tax reform in Arkansas. This book picks up where our 2016 book left off, and suggests a number of additional reforms to Arkansas's personal and corporate income taxes
