What are the income tax rates in Kentucky?

Asked 2 years ago
The income tax rates in Kentucky are structured as a flat rate. As of 2023, the state has a single rate of five percent applied to all taxable income. However, it is important to note that there are various deductions and exemptions available which can reduce the taxable income for individual taxpayers. In addition to the state income tax, residents may also be subject to local taxes depending on their specific location within Kentucky, which can vary by city or county. Valuable information regarding current tax regulations, including potential changes or updates to the rates, can typically be found on the official Kentucky Department of Revenue website. It is advisable to refer to that source for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding personal income tax rates and any related concerns.
