What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

New Hampshire does not tax wages or salaries, and it has no state sales, estate, or inheritance tax, allowing retirement income such as Social Security and pensions to skip state income tax. This zero income tax status has attracted retirees from Massachusetts and New York to New Hampshire.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

While the lack of state income tax is a significant benefit, property taxes account for 59.5% of New Hampshire's combined state and local tax revenue. Retirees moving from Massachusetts may find that the property tax bills in New Hampshire are higher than they expected.

Tax policy discussions are underway regarding potential tax cuts, driven by resident movement from higher-tax areas.
