The Arizona Income Tax Rate Cap of 4.5% Referendum was not on the ballot in Arizona as a veto referendum on November 8, 2022.

The veto referendum would have repealed Section 4 of Senate Bill 1827 (SB 1827), which was designed to cap the maximum combined individual income tax rate at 4.5%.[1]

As of 2021, Arizona had an income tax and an income tax surcharge for education, which passed as Proposition 208 (2020). If the combined regular income tax and surcharge equal more than 4.5%, then the regular income tax rate was to be reduced until a tax filer pays a combined 4.5% under SB 1827.
