Governor Laura Kelly announces that August tax collections surpass estimates.
On Tuesday, Kelly stated that tax collections for last month were $665.6 million. That's 3.5% more than estimated and 4% more than August 2023.
Kelly stated while tax collections are more than estimated , Kansans likely won't see the impact of the tax cuts recently passed by the state legislature until the beginning of next year. The Governor said, because of that limitation, the state government needs to remain fiscally responsible for the long-term outlook.
