The state’s august collections are slightly above estimates with total tax collections at $497.2 million; nearly 3 million more than the estimate. Those collections are also $2.8 million more than the same month in 2018. Retail sales tax collections were up 3.67% from the estimate. Compensating use tax collections came in at 5 percent below the estimate.
individual income tax collections were $231.3 million. This is $6.3 million more than the estimate and $10.5 million more than august last year. Corporate income tax collections were $6.6 million; $5.4 million below the estimate.
Secretary Mark Burghart says Kansas continues to hold steady and he is encouraged by both the improved sales tax collections and the stability of individual tax collections.
