Governor Laura Kelly announced that total tax collections for September were $991.6 million. That is $42.0 million, or 4.4%, more than the estimate. Total tax collections are up $30.6 million, or 3.2%, from September 2022. She used the data to call on the Legislature to provide tax cuts soon, saying because of her administration’s work to put the state on solid financial footing, Kansas has been able to grow the economy and make historic investments in schools, roads and law enforcement.
Last session, she called on the Legislature to cut property, grocery and retirement taxes to help all families without harming the state’s ability to continue growing the economy and making key investments. Last month, individual income tax collections were up 11% from last year. Corporate income taxes were up over 53% from last year.
