Statewide Rate Change on Horizon

The Kansas state sales tax rate of 6.3%--the result of a temporary rate increase established in 2010--is set to drop back to 5.7% on July 1 of this year. Governor Sam Brownback (R) would like to keep the state tax rate at the current 6.3%. His office predicts that would raise more than $260 million in FY 2014 alone.

Kansas Department of Revenue is watching lawmakers closely, and notes on its website that Kansas Legislature will publish any July 2013 sales tax rate change by June 1, 2013.
