Missouri Senate backs income tax cuts offset by sales tax hike
Missouri lawmakers advanced a plan to cut the income tax rate for individuals and businesses by three quarters of a point over five years, offset by a half point sales tax rise. The act would also expand the low income tax deduction and join a multistate online sales tax compact, potentially reducing state revenue by about 450 million to 700 million as phased in. Critics warn of underfunded schools and budget risks while supporters say it will prevent businesses from moving to Kansas and spur economic growth.
