Both red and blue states will react to the new limits on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductibility for federal taxes. Red states will continue to reduce the top individual rates; blue states will slow or stop planned increases.

Look for both the red and blue states to drop their state corporate income taxes. And all states will test the limits of the Wayfair decision.

Lastly, North Carolina remains the model for red states establishing “triggers” that automatically cut tax rates when revenue growth hits a certain goal.
