Arkansas households pay lower income taxes

For tax years starting on or after January 1, 2026, Arkansas lowers income taxes for individuals, trusts, and estates. For net income of $94,700 or less, the first $5,599 is tax-free. Rates are 2% on income from $5,600–$11,199 and 3% from $11,200–$15,999. Rates are 3.4% on income from $16,000–$26,399 and 3.7% from $26,400–$94,700. For net income above $94,700, rates are 2% on the first $4,700 and 3.7% above that amount. A tax reduction for net income from $94,701–$97,600 declines from $290 to $0 as income rises. Tax tables are adjusted each year.

Arkansas corporations pay lower income taxes

For tax years starting on or after January 1, 2027, Arkansas lowers corporate income tax rates. Corporations pay 1% on the first $3,000 of net income and 2% on the next $3,000. They pay 3% on the next $5,000 and 4.1% on net income above $11,000. Corporations organized under Arkansas law are taxed on their entire net income. Corporations organized elsewhere and doing business in Arkansas pay tax on the share assigned to Arkansas under state law.
