As part of my series, I’m curious: have you ever moved your home or business to another state because of state or local tax burdens? If yes, I’d love to know which state you left – leave it in the comments!
State Taxes
Sometimes it doesn’t matter. As I noted in the “Telecommuters, too” section of this post http://dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/dont_mess_with_taxes/global/page/2/ the hubby and I living in no-income-tax Texas doesn’t matter to Georgia. My husband gets a paycheck from a Georgia company, so even though he never goes into an office in that state, his employer withholds Georgia taxes. Majorly maddening! But until he finds a Texas-based job, we’re stuck paying taxes to the Peach State. At least it’s just on his income, not my earnings.

Not a state thing, but I think my boss chose to register the business in the city adjacent to ours for lower tax. I don’t know the details.
moved from Maine to Tennessee-no State income tax on pensions, 90% reduction in our property taxes, low vehicle registration fees-Sales Tax is 7%, Maine was 5%, but the other reductions in expenses was a huge difference.
We moved from Taxifornia to Nevada in ’99
Moved from California to Texas. From taxing everything to just sales tax.
