Abstract:

The North Carolina Senate proposed a constitutional amendment that would cap the state’s income tax rate at 5.5 percent. If it is approved, the state will have to look for other revenue sources or cut public services whenever it needs money. One revenue stream would be a sales tax increase, which would hit lower-income families the hardest.
