Vermont is one of the states that levies an individual state income tax. Unlike states with no individual income tax, Vermont workers can have state income tax withheld from their paychecks.
Vermont does not use one single flat tax rate for all taxpayers. The amount of Vermont income tax depends on taxable income and filing status.
Does Vermont Have State Income Tax?
