What Kansas taxpayers could expect under the governor’s proposal

? Gov. Sam Brownback is pushing a plan to cut the state income tax and do away with numerous exemptions and deductions. His plan would also keep in place the 6.3 percent state sales tax, which was scheduled to decrease to 5.7 percent in 2013.

Here is a comparison of some state income tax scenarios between current law and if Brownback’s plan were in effect. The numbers were produced by the Kansas Department of Revenue and released by Democratic legislators. Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan downplayed the numbers because he said they don’t reflect other parts of the governor’s plan, which includes using funds from eliminating the Earned Income Tax Credit to lure matching federal dollars and putting those funds into programs aimed at helping the poor.
