Report: Income tax payments greatest in Fairfield County

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Residents in 10 Connecticut towns mostly in Fairfield County paid more state income taxes in 2013 than residents of the 113 towns who paid the least.

The Hartford Courant reports that according to data from the state Department of Revenue Services, the average New Canaan tax bill was $24,760, higher than the average Greenwich tax return of $24,209.

Greenwich residents paid more than $642 million in state income taxes last year.

In contrast, residents of North Canaan, Scotland and Union contributed less than $1 million from each town in personal income taxes.

The municipalities with the lowest per-person state income tax bills were Hartford, with an average of $903 per return, Bridgeport at $938 and Waterbury at $1,110.

Wednesday is the deadline to pay federal and state taxes for 2014.
