WYOMING INCOME TAX ACT FILED FOR 2020 LEGISLTURE

A bill that would create both a personal and corporate income tax in Wyoming has been filed for the 2020 legislative session.

The bill is a separate measure from House Bill 64, which is a proposed corporate income tax on companies with over 100 shareholders. House Bill 147 would impose a four percent income tax on earnings over $200,000.

Taxpayers would receive tax credits for excise, sales, use, severance and ad valorem taxes paid in Wyoming.

The fiscal note attached to the bill estimates the personal income tax would raise about $ 108,000,000 annually with the corporate tax generating roughly another $7,000,000 per year. Proceeds would go to the School Foundation Fund.
