Kansas House votes to lower food sales tax in 2020
The Kansas House advanced a bill to tax certain services while cutting the food sales tax by one point, with the relief delayed until mid 2020. The plan, shaped by Rep Kristen Williams, expands service taxes to towing, cleaning, day care, security, storage, and collection agencies, generating about 61 million annually while food tax revenue falls about 64 million by 2020.
