Missourians for Tax Reform is a coalition of concerned citizens who believe we need meaningful reforms to Missouri’s tax system in order for our state and it’s citizens to be successful. With a more efficient, fair and simple tax system, we can build a stronger foundation for Missouri’s future.

What is the Missouri Taxpayer Relief Act?
The Missouri Taxpayer Relief Act is based on the idea that working people should not be taxed twice on their income. This act would replace the Missouri income tax (individual) with a consumer-driven sales tax. That means Missourians would pay taxes on the things they choose to buy – not on the fruits of their labor. Under the act, the state sales tax would increase by less than three percent. Yet, Missouri would become a much better place to live and to work. We would keep businesses here and attract new ones.
