State taxes collection lag in Kansas draws senator's warning
Atchison Senator Steadman Ball of the Republican party urged that Kansas may need fewer new taxes if the Department of Revenue had adequate staffing to enforce existing laws. He estimated $8 million to $10 million in taxes go uncollected due to enforcement gaps across three northeast counties and noted unfiled income from outside landowners. He cited Missouri as a contrast and said even $5 million in uncollected taxes could reduce tax-raising needs.
