                           Key Findings:

                                Forty-four states levy a corporate income tax. Rates range from 3 percent in
                                 North Carolina to 12 percent in Iowa.

                                Six states -- Alaska, Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey, and
                                 Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia -- levy top marginal corporate
                                 income tax rates of 9 percent or higher.

                                Seven states -- Arizona, North Carolina, North Dakota, Colorado, Mississippi,
                                 South Carolina, and Utah -- have top rates at or below 5 percent.

                                Nevada, Ohio, Texas, and Washington impose gross receipts taxes instead
                                 of corporate income taxes. Gross receipts taxes are generally thought to be
                                 more economically harmful than corporate income taxes.

                                South Dakota and Wyoming are the only states that do not levy a corporate
                                 income or gross receipts tax.
