The Kansas Department of Revenue announces total tax collections for April 2023 were $1.3 billion. That is 2.3% below the estimate and down 14.7% from April of last year.

 Individual income tax collections were $593.5 million, 11.4%, below the estimate, and 41.7% below what was collected in April 2022. Part of the decrease in the individual income tax receipts is attributable to having two fewer processing days after the April 18 due date than in April 2022. Corporate income tax collections were $354.2 million, 16.5%, more than the month’s estimate and 150.4% more than in April 2022. 

 Combined sales and compensating use tax receipts were $308.6 million, 0.7%, below the estimate, and down $1.4 million, or 0.4%, from April 2022.  The continued impact of reducing the food sales tax can be seen in the year-over-year decrease in the combined sales and compensating use tax collections.
