How do states that do not collect state income tax pay for services that other states use tax money to pay for?
Generally it is all paid through sales tax revenues or similar taxes. You will notice that most states that do not have income tax have higher sales tax rates.ANSWER: The beauty of states that do not levy an income tax on the people is that it demonstrates how unnecessary income taxation actually is. While sales taxes are usually higher in these states these sales taxes can be defeated by simply not purchasing the items being taxed. The Internal Revenue Code makes clear that any attempt to defeat or evade the income tax is criminal and subject to prosecution and conviction leading to stiff fines and/or prison. Of course, that's assuming you are actually subject to the "Personal Income Tax". There are people who are subject to this law and people who aren't. Which are you?

In most states the largest single source of revenue comes from?
Due to the very different nature of U.S. states, there is no good answer to this question. The top three sources of income for US States are: sales tax, personal/corporate income tax, and passdown from the Federal government. Given that not all states have both income and sales taxes (some have only one or the other), and that the amount of Federal passdown can vary widely (both between different states, and from year to year), there is no good generalization to be made about the single biggest source of income for a majority of the states. Note, if you want to be strict about the word "revenue" (as in, a source of income that the state directly collects), that would exclude Federal passdown. 41 states impose an income tax (plus 2 which tax only investment/interest income), while 45 impose a sales tax. Two states (Alaska and New Hampshire) have no general sales or income taxes. The latter two states tend to rely on property/business income tax (in NH) and oil production taxes (AK) for the majority of their revenue.

Why does Florida does not pay state tax?
All levels of government have their own type of funding to pay their expenses. The federal government uses mostly income and excise taxes. City and county governments mostly use property taxes. Some cities use a sales taxes in addition to property taxes. States vary. Some states, like Oregon, use primarily income taxes and don't have a sales tax. Other states, like Florida, use mainly sales taxes and don't have an income tax. Most states, use a combination and have both income and sales taxes. Some states only tax businesses and not individuals, like Alaska who gets tax income from corporations and businesses only and doesn't have a sales tax. Many states also have other types of taxes in addition to their main source of taxes (use, luxury, lodging, etc). This is how these various levels of government get their income to operate and run programs, provide services, and pay employees.
