Lawmakers Battle Over Business Tax Breaks In Kansas
TOPEKA The battle over tax breaks for Kansas businesses reopened as lawmakers wrestled with closing a large budget shortfall in an election year. Senate Bill 508 would tax 70 percent of business owners wage income from LLCs, leaving 30 percent tax free, potentially raising about 170 million next year to help cover a 220 million shortfall. The measure faces an unclear fate after a Senate hearing as Brownback proposals loom.
