Governor Brownback Presses Tax Deal Through Legislature
The Kansas Senate approved a tax plan after a House failure, with a Thursday return possible. The package raises the sales tax from 6.15 to 6.55 percent, funds earmarked by cutting itemized deductions, and adds a 50 cent cigarette tax hike plus a new e-cigarette levy. Food tax falls to 4.95 percent in July 2016, and income tax rates stay at 2.7 and 4.6 percent until 2018 before small reductions tied to revenue growth.
