You're all invited to New Hampshire, USA.

Sales Tax: 0%

Use Tax: 0%

Vehicle tax: based on blue book value of your vehicle.

Property Tax: This is where you pay. This covers state & local school taxes as well as the municipality taxes (roads, garbage etcetera). My tax payment on an assed value of $145,000 is about $300/month. This varies by town.

Meals & Rooms tax: 8%. Gets the tourist $.

Business & Enterprise tax: based on gross income, I'm foggy on the details, but a good deal of state revenue is generated here.

Liquor & cigarettes: Hard liquor only available at state stores, good hours & prices. Beer & wine available at most all grocery & convenience stores. Cigarettes taxed per pack - reasonable.

We pay our legislators $100/year and balanced budgets are a constitutional requirement.
