Kansas corporate tax plan shifts burden to out-of-state firms
Kansas lawmakers pass a plan to raise about 20 million from out-of-state corporations by tightening a tax test on cross border sales and business transactions while lowering the top rate for in-state firms to 7.0 percent in the long run.
