금융 기술 정보 회사인 SmartAsset의 최근 보고서에 따르면 뉴욕, 시카고, 샌프란시스코와 같은 주요 대도시 거주자들이 소득 잠재력을 극대화할 뿐만 아니라 개인 저축을 늘리기 위해 오스틴을 새로운 거주지로 선택하고 있는 것으로 나타났습니다.

최근 텍사스 주의회 특별 회기에서 재산세 개혁이 납세자들의 관심사로 떠올랐지만, 텍사스 헌법은 개인 소득세를 명시적으로 금지하고 있습니다. 이는 텍사스를 새로운 거주지로 선택한 사람들에게 직접적인 영향을 미치며, 특히 오스틴과 같이 미국 내 상위 50개 대도시 중 신규 거주자 유입률 1위를 기록한 도시에서는 더욱 그러합니다. 이러한 신규 거주자 중 상당수는 더 젊고 소득이 높은 경향이 있습니다.

연간 소득이 65만 달러 이상인 고소득 오스틴 거주자는 샌프란시스코와 뉴욕의 15만 달러 소득자보다 세금이 적게 부과됩니다. 65만 달러를 버는 뉴욕 거주자는 오스틴으로 이사할 경우 평균 25만 달러 이상을 절약할 수 있으며, 세금과 생활비를 고려할 때 급여의 40% 이상을 절약할 수 있습니다. 오스틴으로 이주하는 고소득 시카고 거주자들도 비슷한 수준의 절세 효과를 누리며 급여의 12%를 더 절약할 수 있습니다.

절세 인센티브는 고소득자와 평균 소득자 모두에게 적용됩니다. 뉴요커의 전국 평균 생활비는 휴스턴이나 댈러스와 같은 텍사스 대도시에 비해 122% 더 높습니다. 댈러스의 생활비는 전국 평균보다 약간 높습니다.

텍사스는 신흥 시장과 기술에 대한 개방성으로 인해 많은 기업이 이주하고 있으며, 많은 기업이 상당한 세금 감면 혜택을 받고 있습니다. Plano는 최근 그래픽 처리 장치에 중점을 둔 클라우드 인프라 제공업체로부터 16억 달러 규모의 데이터 센터 투자를 유치했으며, 향후 2년간 투자에 대한 세금 환급을 받게 됩니다. 다른 도시에서도 비슷한 확장이 이루어지고 있습니다.

페이스북의 소유주인 메타는 최근 데이터 센터 건설을 위해 템플에 8억 달러 규모의 투자를 재개하겠다고 발표했으며, 삼성과 Texas Instruments 와 같은 기술 기업들은 테일러와 셔먼을 새로운 반도체 제조 시설의 본거지로 선택했고, 두 도시 모두 수억 달러의 세금 감면을 승인했습니다.

반도체와 같은 신흥 시장의 성장은 주 일반 세입 기금에서 약 7억 달러를 사용할 수 있는 컨소시엄 및 혁신 기금을 설립한 텍사스 칩스 법(Texas CHIPS Act)과 같은 최근 법안으로 인해 인센티브를 받았습니다. 주의회는 이 컨소시엄이 2년 주기의 주 예산에 약 170만 달러의 부정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상하고 있습니다.

A recent report from SmartAsset, a financial technology information company, found that residents from major metropolitan areas like New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco are choosing Austin as their new home to not only maximize their earning potential but increase their personal savings.

While the recent special session of the Texas Legislature brought property tax reform into the forefront of taxpayers’ minds, the Texas Constitution explicitly forbids personal income taxes. This has a direct effect on those who choose to make Texas their new home, especially in a city like Austin, which saw an influx of population ranking first for new residents among the top 50 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. Many of these new residents trend younger and bring higher incomes with them.

High-earning Austin residents, like those who make $650,000 or more a year, get taxed less than people making $150,000 in San Francisco and New York. New York residents who make $650,000 will save an average of over $250,000 when they move to Austin, over 40 percent of their salary when accounting for taxes and cost of living. Top-earning Chicagoans moving to Austin earn similar savings, enjoying 12 percent more of their salary.

The money-saving incentives are set up for high and average earners alike. New Yorkers have a 122 percent higher national average cost of living compared to Texas metropolitan cities like Houston and Dallas. Dallas’ cost of living is slightly higher than the national cost of living average at 3 percent, while Houston residents are below the national average, paying an average 6.1 percent below the nation as a whole.

Texas’ openness to emerging markets and technologies has made it a breeding ground for businesses moving in, many receiving sizeable tax abatements. Plano recently secured a $1.6 billion data center investment from a graphics processing unit-focused cloud infrastructure provider, which will receive a tax rebate from the city over the next two years of their investment. Other cities have seen similar expansions.

Meta, the owner of Facebook, recently announced it would resume its $800 million investment in Temple to build a data center, and technology companies like Samsung and Texas Instruments have made Taylor and Sherman home for new semiconductor manufacturing facilities, which both approved hundreds of millions of dollars in tax abatements for the corporations.

Growth in emerging markets like semiconductors has been incentivized by recent legislation like the Texas CHIPS Act, which established a consortium and innovation fund that will have access to almost $700 million from the state’s general revenue fund. The Legislature expects the consortium to have a negative impact of around $1.7 million to the biennium state budget.
