Kansas Senators advanced multiple tax bills to the House for approval late last night. Senate Bill 248 was amended from eliminating the sales tax on healthy foods to include all food items, except prepared foods. Additional amendments to include hygiene products and clothing were proposed… but denied.
Senate Bill 169 would establish a flat income tax rate for all Kansans, setting it at 4.75%. Democratic Senator Tom Holland proposed an amendment expanding the current three tax brackets to five, which was rejected. Both bills will go before the Kansas House. The Senate has adjourned until Wednesday, March 1st.
