The Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs President Jonathan Small celebrated the passage of HB 1539, which will gradually phase state income tax out toward a full repeal.
“The income tax is a tax on work and investment, which makes it more harmful to economic growth and job creation than most taxes,” Small said in a statement shared by OCPA. “Research has long shown that states with no income tax are outperforming states that tax work, and many other states are now moving to get rid of their income tax. Yesterday’s vote in the Oklahoma Senate sends a strong message that Oklahoma remains a place where growth and prosperity are prioritized. (MORE NEWS: Ten Commandments Returns To Arkansas Classrooms)
“The bill is now only one vote away from going to the governor’s desk, and members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives have already overwhelmingly supported this legislation in a prior vote,” Small continued. “The bill’s authors and legislative leaders deserve praise for making it a priority to put the state income tax on a path to zero, and the many lawmakers who have voted for this bill deserve our thanks.”
