Tax Fights Grow Over State Chamber Backed Fees
Kansas small businesses fight a package doubling corporate franchise fees to fund 18 million annually in property tax breaks for business gear. Critics say the plan shifts tax burden to mom and pop shops while large manufacturers gain. The state also imposes new fuel, vehicle, inheritance, sales, and phone taxes as part of infrastructure funding. Daniel’s firm, with 72 Kansas employees, faces a 2,500 increase amid a broader 320 million in new taxes, described as a harsh session for small business.
