Show 8 Sun Advocate Price, Utah Thursday September 12, DRUGS Analysis compare income faxes TURN IN A PUSHER 1 (Continued from page 1) From 1989 to 1994, the share of wages or salaries earned by the top 1 percent of Americans decreased from 14.2 percent to 13.8 percent, noted the independent research report. Between 1995 and 1999, the stock market especially beneficial to higher income individuals residing at locations across the United States. However, the situation is likely to reverse significantly when the latest IRS statistics are compiled, pointed out the organization's analysis. At the state level, the associations analysis indicated that the top wage earners account for a disproportionate share of Utah income tax. In 2000, Utahns earning more than S250JXX) comprised 1 percent of all state taxpayers. The group earned 17.1 percent of the states total adjusted gross income and paid 21.9 percent of Utahs income taxes. Utahns earning less than $50,000 annually comprise nearly of all taxpayers statewide, noted the organiza-tlO- ll UnkV Iihhtm ritrrm aoman aAnrsnsifavi report The The information gathered as a result of the following TIPS form is confidential and will not be divulged to anyone out- side of the Carbon Metro Drug Thsk Force.

The majority of the independent analysts researching the matter attribute the difference to Utahs failure to index state tax brackets for inflation. Federal brackets have been continuously adjusted for inflation for more than 20 years. But Utahs tax brackets have been adjusted only once since 1973. Utahs top income tax bracket starts at $8,626, compared to approximately $60,000 for the average state, . Since Utah has one of the lowest thresholds in the nation, the majority of the personal income in the state is taxed at the highest 7 percent rate, explained the independent associations. Consequently, the effective rate on the states top wage earners registers only slightly higher than the tax burden shouldered by low income Utahns. Additionally, the financial burden assumed by Utahns exceeds the national average by 22 percent since this state taxes income at the highest rate, concluded the independent nonpartisan research organization.
