Why is it so expensive to live in Minnesota? Because Minnesota has some of the highest taxes in the country! Here are the taxes Minnesotans pay.
Income tax rates
- $0 – $39,410 5.35%
- $39,410 – $156,570 6.80%
- $156,570 – $273,470 7.85%
- $273,470 9.85%
The 9.85% tax rate makes Minnesota have the fourth-highest income tax rate in the country. There are seven states with no income tax and eighteen states whose highest tax rate is lower than Minnesota’s lowest rate of 5.35%. Then if add in the regressive taxes of the sale and excise tax (taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and gasoline) that is why Minnesota is a very expensive place to live! When one party has control it can raise taxes whenever it wants to! Are all those taxes are necessary?
