One of the key financial benefits of living in the Lone Star State is that Texas does not impose a state income tax on its residents. Whether you earn $20,000 a year or $200,000, the state of Texas will not take a percentage of your earned income, providing significant savings for many residents.

Similarly to the state income tax, Texas also does not impose a state payroll tax or local income tax, allowing for greater take-home pay for employees and more savings for employers.
