Tax policy shapes the daily lives of every family, every classroom, and every community.
Everyone deserves to understand what is at stake as Utah continues to chip away at the income tax with long term efforts to eliminate it entirely. To make this complex issue easier to understand, we created this storybook instead of a traditional report. The story pairs a simple narrative with clear explanations of Utah’s tax policy choices, trends, and consequences.
This storybook report helps show what income tax cuts really mean for children, families, and the services they rely on. It also illustrates why eliminating the income tax would create a growing gap that communities cannot afford to ignore.
There is strength when everyone pays a fair share. Supporting families and communities benefits everyone.
Healthy children, strong schools, and thriving neighborhoods create a stronger economy and a safer, more prosperous society — advantages that extend to even the wealthiest members of our community.
