Tax collections generally make up around half of the money US state governments raise, but not all states obtain the majority of their tax dollars from the same place.

Using data from Pew Research, the team at Visual Capitalist mapped each US state's biggest source of tax revenue. Figures are accurate as of 2023.

The country has six states with no broad-based personal income tax — South Dakota, Florida, Texas, Nevada, Washington and Tennessee — where sales tax makes up more than 70 percent of the total revenue.

In Oregon, where there's no sales tax, and high-income states like California, New York and Massachusetts, most of the money raised comes from collections on personal income.

There are a handful of states that get the majority of their tax dollars through other means. Alaska, for example, makes most of its revenue through severance tax, while the main source for New Hampshire is taxing corporate income and business profits.
