Description

This paper analyzes potential revenues for Alaskan governments, and is a complement to the spending analysis in Fiscal Policy Paper #2. To estimate potential revenues, we need a standard against which to measure Alaska tax efforts. We use national average tax rates; we examine how much tax Alaska's state and local governments currently collect, and estimate how much different tax collections would be if tax rates were at national averages. We look separately at taxes paid by individuals and businesses and by resource industries.
