New Tax Brackets Proposed For Kansas
The Joint Assessment and Taxation Committee voted 5-4 to recommend higher income tax brackets and rates to raise about 9 million dollars after increasing the exemption from 600 to 750. Sen. Frank Hodge supported the plan, while Rep. Shelby Smith called it piecemeal and unrealistic. The panel also broadened the Homestead Act to aid the elderly and disabled, allowing higher earnings up to 6000 with continued tax relief and a maximum property tax of 330.
