Mike Braun:
Reducing the size of government is the key to cutting taxes
Mike Braun knows lower taxes mean more money in the hands of individuals and business owners who are going to know how to spend their dollars better than the government. Reducing the size of government is the key to cutting taxes and
Mike Braun will work through every state agency to find ways to save money while delivering high-quality services to taxpayers.

Suzanne Crouch:
Axe the Tax: Return budget surpluses; eliminate income tax
Why we need to Axe the Tax: - We need to defend Indiana against the disastrous Biden policies
- You deserve to keep more of your hard-earned money
- Attract new investments and grow our economy
Here's how we are going to do it:-
Return to taxpayers all budget and reserve fund surpluses beyond reasonably necessary levels in the form of permanent individual rate reductions and, eventually, individual income tax elimination
- Modernize our tax code to reflect the
Indiana economy of the 21st century
- Limit the growth and cost of Indiana government to necessary levels
- Realize new revenues from the dynamic economic impact of the above steps
- Limit expenditures to a 2% inflation adjusted growth rate
-
Trigger reductions and elimination based on realizing key base-line revenue levels or other appropriate benchmarks
- Phase in reductions and elimination for revenue predictability

Eric Doden:
Make school teachers exempt from state income tax
As a state we must have the goal of retaining great teachers and attracting the newest, best, and brightest. Despite spending billions on schools each year, extreme education ideologies and the rising cost of living for young teachers continue to force
teachers from the classroom. We have proposed a Teacher Investment program that will make school teachers exempt from state income tax while also providing them property tax relief. We will do this without new spending or new taxes.

Curtis Hill:
Cut spending; eliminate income tax on earners aged 18-35
On day one, Curtis' top priority will be providing relief to Indiana taxpayers struggling to put food in their fridges and fuel in their tanks. As governor, Curtis will cut wasteful government spending and slash government regulation to allow
individuals and small businesses to prosper.. As governor, Curtis will cut taxes and work with businesses to invest in Indiana through job creation and land development.Our plan to eliminate the income tax on earners aged
18-35 would encourage young professionals to stay in Indiana while encouraging companies to expand into Indiana. The lost revenue would be made up by an increased tax base of businesses and corporations.
Indiana would be the first in the nation to implement such a tax structure, and it would pay off with young professionals moving to and remaining in Indiana to start businesses and families of their own.

Jennifer McCormick:
We need to have a conversation about hidden taxes
Q: How would you ease the financial pressure on Indiana's Main Street businesses? Do you have your own agenda for tax reform?Suzanne Crouch: I voted to reduce the corporate income tax, voted to eliminate the inheritance tax. I want to lead the fight
to eliminate Indiana state income tax.
Mike Braun: The way you finance any lower taxes would be to make our government run more efficiently. [Then] you can finance lower taxes, but you got to do that first.
Jennifer McCormick: I agree with a revamp of our taxing system, but also, it's about not just how we're getting in our revenue. It's about our expenditures that impacts that. Yes, we need to fix our gas tax. Yes, we need to look at income tax.
But here's the thing: There are hidden taxes we're not having the conversation about. You go ask local people what's happening with school referendums. You go ask them what's happening with some of these hidden taxes that are sneaking up on people.

Mike Braun:
Relief on property tax bills
Property tax reform: Braun has proposed a rough outline for how to give Hoosier homeowners relief on their property tax bills: By expanding tax deductions and limiting the growth in the amount local governments can tax from year to year.
The General Assembly has been studying Indiana's tax code for nearly two years and likely plans to propose reforms during the next legislative session.
