New Hampshire has no individual income tax
There is no New Hampshire income tax return to file and nothing withheld for the state from your paycheck. For most people working in New Hampshire that is the entire answer to the question.
New Hampshire has no tax on wages and no statewide sales tax, and instead carries some of the highest property tax rates in the country. The burden is not absent, it is relocated onto real estate.
- New Hampshire has never taxed wages or salaries, so there is no state withholding and no wage income return.
- New Hampshire formerly levied an Interest and Dividends Tax on investment income, which has since been repealed. Guidance published before the repeal still circulates, so confirm the current position with the Department of Revenue Administration rather than relying on an older article.
- Property tax is the main state and local burden and is assessed by municipality, so the effective rate varies substantially between towns.
- Working in Massachusetts while living in New Hampshire is a common arrangement and does not make you exempt — Massachusetts taxes income sourced to Massachusetts, including days physically worked there.
None of this reduces your federal tax. Federal brackets, the standard deduction and every federal credit apply exactly as they would anywhere else.
Why New Hampshire is worth more than the salary saving if you have income in India
The relocation arithmetic people run is about salary. The part almost nobody counts is what happens to the Indian side of their finances.
States that tax residents on worldwide income reach your Indian income too, and most give no credit for the Indian tax already paid on it. In New Hampshire that layer is zero, because there is no individual income tax for it to sit in. NRO interest, rent from an Indian flat, a gain on Indian shares — none of it meets a state tax here.
The federal position is untouched. Your FBAR, Form 8938 and Form 8621 obligations are federal and do not change with the state you live in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does New Hampshire have a state income tax?
No. New Hampshire levies no individual income tax on wages, so there is no state return to file and no state withholding. New Hampshire has no tax on wages and no statewide sales tax, and instead carries some of the highest property tax rates in the country. The burden is not absent, it is relocated onto real estate.
Is New Hampshire tax on top of federal tax?
Federal tax applies regardless of which state you live in, and is calculated separately. Living in New Hampshire removes the state layer, not the federal one — and it also removes the state and local tax deduction from your federal itemised deductions, which for some filers makes the standard deduction the better federal choice.
I moved to or from New Hampshire during the year. Does this work?
Not directly. A part-year move usually means a part-year return in each state with income apportioned between them, and the state you left applies its own residency test rather than accepting a new address. Use this to size the rates, then treat the apportionment as a separate question.
