Among the District of Columbia and the 44 states that levy corporate income taxes, Hawaii ranked No. 29 for the top tax rate on business revenues, according to a Tax Foundation analysis of 2018 tax numbers.

Hawaii has three tax brackets on corporate income, with a top rate of 6.4 percent, the study by policy analyst Morgan Scarboro said.

Top corporate income tax rates nationwide range from 12 percent to 3 percent, the analysis concluded.

For 2018, Connecticut brought down its top marginal corporate income tax rate from 9 percent to 8.25 percent, and the District of Columbia dropped its rate to 8.25 percent. Indiana’s rate dipped from 6 percent to 5.75 percent in July.

Nevada, Ohio, Texas and Washington levy business taxes on gross receipts in lieu of a corporate income tax. Only South Dakota and Wyoming have neither a corporate income tax nor a gross receipts tax.
