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The veto referendum would have repealed Section 4 of Senate Bill 1827 (SB 1827), which was designed to cap the maximum combined individual income tax rate at 4.5%.[1]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

Process in Arizona
In Arizona, the number of signatures required to qualify a veto referendum for the ballot is equal to 5 percent of votes cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election. Signatures for veto referendums are due 90 days following the adjournment of the legislative session at which the targeted bill was approved.
The requirements to get veto referendums certified for the 2022 ballot:
- Signatures: 118,823 valid signatures for referendums targeting bills passed in both the 2023 and 2024 legislative sessions.
- Deadline for 2021 bills: 90 days following adjournment of the 2021 session
- Deadline for 2022 bills: 90 days following adjournment of the 2022 session
If the secretary of state certifies that enough valid signatures were submitted, the veto referendum goes on the next general election ballot.
R-4-2021
The organization Invest in Arizona filed the ballot initiative on July 2, 2021.[2] Invest in Arizona did not collect enough signatures for the referendum by the deadline of September 28, 2021.
