Either way, Iowa is playing an outsized role in a bigger debate about how American states ought to manage their revenues and spending. Until a few years ago it had one of the highest income-tax rates in America. By 2026 it will be down to a flat tax of 3.9%. Iowa is far from alone. Some 25 states have cut individual income taxes over the past years. A handful, including Georgia and Idaho, are shifting to a flat tax. And a few others want to eliminate their income taxes altogether.
Virtually all states, regardless of political make-up, have lowered their citizens’ tax bills since 2021. Overall, this has been a rough decline in states’ tax revenues during this time, the steepest such reduction in at least four decades. But the most aggressive moves have been cuts to income taxes, and Iowa has been at the forefront of these efforts.

Comentário: A afirmação está errada porque Iowa não está cortando seus impostos em uma taxa de 3,9%, mas sim reduzindo sua alíquota de imposto de renda individual para um valor fixo de 3,9% até 2026. Isso significa que, em vez de uma redução de 3,9%, haverá uma nova taxa fixa que substituirá as taxas anteriores, e essa mudança não se refere a um corte percentual, mas sim à implementação de uma alíquota flat.
