Eliminate Missouri State Income Tax

Missouri has a progressive income tax with a top rate of 4.7%. The state is in competition with Tennessee, which has no state income tax. Eliminating the income tax will help Missouri families, bring investment and people to the state, and can be done gradually to ensure the state has the revenue it needs. 

HJR 165 proposes a constitutional amendment to be brought before Missouri voters to reduce and eliminate the state income tax by allowing for increases in state and local sales and use taxes. 

Women and families especially benefit from income tax elimination. Right now, as women’s earnings increase, so does their tax burden. Missouri has already phased out the capital gains tax in 2025, helping families keep more of their hard-earned money. Eliminating the income tax will incentivize hard work and reward those entrepreneurs who want to build more and innovate in their state.

Three out of the four top growth states in 2025, according to the U-Haul Growth Index, are income tax-free. The evidence is clear: eliminating income tax spurs growth. Now is the time to make Missouri competitive and save taxpayer dollars. 

You deserve to keep your income.
