BISMARCK, N.D. — Republican Gov. Doug Burgum signed a bill Monday that exempts military pay from state income taxes for active duty, National Guard and Reserve members. Under this bill, North Dakota service members' income taxes are estimated to drop by $4 million between 2023 and 2025, the governor's office said. Military pay includes federal costs for training, education, mobilization and bonuses as well as state pay when called to support an emergency on state active duty. Burgum's office said military service members often live in states with exemptions for military pay or no income tax as their official state of residence.
