Tax Policy and Accountability
Tax Policy and Accountability Index
The tax policy and accountability index evaluates the level of transparency of each state's tax-based subsidies for asset accumulation. Without accessible public information, it is difficult to determine precisely how much a state's tax code provides incentives for wealth accumulation and who benefits from these incentives. Two measures of accountability were evaluated using the same point system as other measures, and a summary assessment based on the evaluation is included for each state; however, states were not ranked or graded because of the low number of measures in this index.
