Tax Policy Overview
Wyoming has no income tax and no corporate income tax, funded primarily by mineral extraction taxes (coal, oil, gas). The state has very low overall tax burden. Declining coal revenues have created long-term fiscal questions.

Political Context
Wyoming no-tax model depends on fossil fuel extraction revenues that are declining as coal faces competition from natural gas and renewables. Republicans resist any income tax while fiscal pressures grow. The wealth divide between Jackson Hole (among the most unequal communities in the US) and rural Wyoming creates complex tax policy considerations.
