The Wyoming Taxpayers Association is the only statewide association in Wyoming representing united taxpayers concerned about government spending.  WTA has achieved statewide and national recognition for over 70 years as the expert on Wyoming state and local tax policy issues, and serves as the eyes, ears, and voice of individual taxpayers, the business and agricultural communities, government agencies, trade associations, and large energy companies alike.  We rely on the concepts captured in the Cornerstones of Taxation to provide the foundation to everything we do ~ Justification, Equity, Balance, Stability and Transparency.
