Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy Tax Inequality Index

Vermont has one of the most progressive tax systems in the country that redistributes wealth effectively. It is one of only 7 places that has a progressive tax structure, and only Minnesota and Washington D.C. score higher on the progressivity index.

This table is sorted by Index Value from most progressive to least by default. Click on any header to sort by that category -- click again to toggle between ascending and descending order. The rankings will update accordingly.

These rankings have been inverted from the published ITEP rankings in order to display states from most to least progressive index values. This was done for clarity to fit with the Vermont Competitiveness Dashboard display of data to highlight Vermont's strengths and weaknesses relative to other states.
