Kansas lawmakers revise plan for tax cuts compromise
Kansas legislators rewrote a plan to trim income and sales taxes to avoid future deficits. The final package modestly lowers rates, phases out taxes on many businesses, and cuts the sales tax to 5.7 percent in July 2018, with projected relief of about 60 million in the current fiscal year and nearly 600 million annually by 2018. The plan aims to boost growth while preserving budget stability and school and social program funding.
