Why Alaska has no income tax — and what you pay instead

Alaska does not levy a state income tax. Wages earned by Alaska residents are not subject to any state-level income tax, which can meaningfully raise take-home pay versus a high-tax state. You still owe federal income tax — estimate it with the Federal Income Tax Calculator — and Alaska still raises revenue through sales tax, property tax, and other levies described below.

What to know about Alaska tax

  • Alaska has no state income tax and no statewide sales tax — one of only a handful of states with neither.
  • Many Alaska boroughs and municipalities levy their own local sales tax, so the rate at the register is not always zero.
  • The state funds itself largely from oil revenue and even pays residents an annual Permanent Fund Dividend.
