Florida scores high — again — on a national tax study

Florida, no surprise, really, excelled on the latest comprehensive tax study from the Tax Foundation.

Overall, Florida ranked No. 4 in the foundation’s annual state business tax climate index. While the Top 10 of the 2019 edition is mostly unchanged from 2018, it remains notable that Florida is an island among the Southeast, really the entire South, in the Top 10. Its peers in having a business-friendly tax structure, according to a statement, include Wyoming, South Dakota, Alaska, Utah and Nevada. The closest state in geography to Florida is No. 10, Indiana.
