Senate backs flat tax plan with 4.6 percent rate
In Topeka the Senate tax committee approved a bill setting a 4.6 percent flat individual income tax while easing food sales tax. The move aligns with Gov. Brownback's push for a single-rate system and follows prior House discussions of a 5 percent rate. The measure would repeal LLC tax loopholes and index standard deductions to federal law. The plan faces uncertain Senate support, with critics calling it dead on arrival.
