Florida Remains in Top 5 on
Tax Foundation's 2026 State Tax
Competitiveness Index
|
|
|
Florida has once again secured its place among the nation’s most economically competitive states, ranking 5th overall in the Tax Foundation’s 2026 State Tax Competitiveness Index. The state’s strong performance is driven by its lack of a personal income tax, moderate corporate and sales tax rates, and absence of estate or inheritance taxes, all of which make it attractive to both residents and businesses. This continued recognition highlights Florida’s balanced approach to fostering growth and maintaining a stable, pro-business tax environment that strengthens the state’s long-term economic outlook.
