Kansas taxes are still awfully high.
They have a 3 tier state income tax 3.5%-6.45% to go with that state sales tax.
And Kansas personal property tax on vehicles is the worst in the country. Which is why you see so many out of state car tags in Kansas. Residents are evading the tax by tagging in other states.
Kansas taxes are nothing like California.
Kanasas has 2 income tax rates.
2.7% on the first $15,000 of taxable income.
4.6% on taxable income of $15,001 and more.
Here is California
1% on the first $7,850 of taxable income.
2% on taxable income between $7,851 and $18,610.
4% on taxable income between $18,611 and $29,372.
6% on taxable income between $29,373 and $40,773.
8% on taxable income between $40,774 and $51,530.
9.3% on taxable income between $51,531 and $263,222.
10.3% on taxable income between $263,223 and 315,866.
11.3% on taxable income between $315,867 and $526,443.
12.3% on taxable income of $526,444 and above.
Kansas does NOT have high income taxes compared with California. I can’t speak to sales taxes but since California has such high sales taxes, I’m sure Kansas CAN’T be worse.
