Tax on natural gas tax cut sent to governor

The Kansas Senate approved a bill to reduce the severance tax on natural gas to match oil tax levels. The measure phases in a credit rise from 1 to 3.67 percent, cuts the rate from 7 to 4.33 percent, and costs the state up to 28.5 million annually after the phase-in. Proponents say it will boost southwest Kansas gas production and state revenue, while critics fear future tax swings. Also under debate are bills to end the 2.5 percent sales tax on labor for new construction and on energy used in production.
