"Tax changes since 2013 shake out to an average cut of $56,000 in 2025 for the richest 1 percent of North Carolinians — a cut that is 130 times larger than what North Carolinians with the lowest incomes have received."
"Continued proposals to increase the standard deduction further will do little to help the lowest 40 percent of households in terms of income — those who struggle most with affordability."

We already had legislation passed to lower the state income tax to 3.5% which equates to more than $18 billion in lost state funding. This would bake it into the constitution meaning it would be incredibly hard to change in the future and we could never raise it above 3.5%. It is incredibly important that we vote no on putting this in the constitution. This only benefits the super rich. We need the flexibility to fund our public services, public spaces, public schools and infrastructure.

What are you voting on?
Amendment 2 would change North Carolina’s Constitution to say that the state income-tax rate cannot be higher than 3.5%.
Think of it as putting a ceiling on the state income-tax rate.
What is the rule now?
North Carolina’s Constitution currently allows an income-tax rate of up to 7%.
What would Amendment 2 do?
If approved, the constitutional maximum would become 3.5%.
This does not mean everyone's income tax would automatically become 3.5%. It means the state could not set the income-tax rate above 3.5% unless the Constitution were changed again.
Why does it matter?
Income taxes are one way North Carolina collects money to pay for public services such as:
• Schools and education
• Roads and transportation
• Public safety
• Health programs
• Other state services
A constitutional tax limit could affect the choices lawmakers have when deciding how to raise and spend state money in the future.
The BIG Question:
Should North Carolina put a permanent 3.5% ceiling on the state income-tax rate in its Constitution?
Before you vote, ask:
What are the benefits of having a constitutional tax limit?
What could be the challenges?
If the state needs additional revenue in the future, what other options would lawmakers have?
Should future lawmakers be able to change the income-tax rate without another constitutional amendment?
Civics takeaway:
You are not simply voting on a tax rate.
You are voting on whether to put a limit on the government's future ability to change that rate.
Know the rule. Understand the impact. Then make your own decision.
This doesn't decrease your current taxes and would limit taxes on billionaires in the future. It changes nothing right now but limits the ability to hold billionaires accountable. Read more here:
