Veteran tax relief bill sent to Kansas Gov.
TOPEKA (KSNT) - Kansas lawmakers have sent a bill to Governor Laura Kelly including tax relief for disabled veterans.
The House voted 102-17 to adopt the conference committee report for House Bill 2098 Friday evening, after the Senate voted 34-1 to approve the plan earlier in the day.
The bill would create a sales tax exemption beginning July 1, 2026, for tangible personal property and services purchased by Kansas resident veterans who have been honorably discharged and have a 100 percent, total, or unemployable permanent disability rating
sustained through military service.
Sales of motor vehicles, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, or electronic cigarettes
would be excluded from the exemption, as would any purchases not made for personal use or
made for the production of income.
The proposal also includes motor vehicle sales tax deductions, and a sales tax exemption for the purchase of equipment or machinery purchased for use in the provision of internet access service, telecommunications service, or video service.
