What else comes out of a paycheck in Wyoming
Wyoming levies essentially nothing comparable to the business taxes of the other no-income-tax states: no franchise tax on income, no gross receipts tax, no commerce tax. The state sales tax is 4% with county option taxes on top (6% total in most counties), which makes Wyoming about as light as state taxation of the self-employed gets.
