~ Subcommittee appointed to evaluate Property Tax and provide suggestions for reform ~
TOPEKA – On Friday, January 29, the Governor’s Council on Tax Reform heard input from state and national policy experts who provided broad and enhanced perspectives on many of the top tax issues already under consideration in the 2021 Kansas Legislature.
On the issue of allowing itemization of state income deductions even for taxpayers claiming the newly expanded federal standard deduction, Dr. Donna Ginther, the Council’s Chief Academic Advisor, presented data suggesting that this proposal would benefit less than seven percent of all income tax filers, with much of the benefit accruing to high income earners.
1. Restructure the homestead education tax
2. Broaden the sales tax base
3. Modernize income tax features
4. Undertake analysis in order to eliminate tax burden/benefit cliffs
5. Improve administration of property tax
6. Create a comprehensive telecommunications tax
7. Utilize tax policy to address climate change
8. Collaborate with other states so each state can build a fairer, more sustainable tax system
Recommendation 1: Restructure the Homestead Education Tax
Key components:
A. Eliminate the Property Tax Credit
B. Eliminate the homestead education property tax, and implement income-based education tax for all residents (owners and renters) with rate tied to locally voted budgets.
C. Levy the non-homestead education property tax on all property except the residence and 2-acre site.

Phillip Rhodes has become accustomed to dealing with problems such as a leaking roof, cracked sidewalks and chipping paint at The Clement in Tarentum.
But seeing the property’s annual tax bill soar by nearly $13,000 after its assessed value spiked nearly 700% was a shock for which he was not prepared.
“It’s expensive to maintain,” Rhodes said of the former church and school he has redeveloped on West Ninth Street. “I’m still not bringing any money home from this.”
