October tax collections $47 million over estimate in Kansas

KANSAS (KSNT) - The office of the Governor reports that the state of Kansas has ended October 2025 with a total tax collection of $695.6 million, 7.2% above estimates.

The majority of collections came from individual income tax collections, totaling $367.4 million. But the governor notes that corporate income tax was significantly down, $24.1 million below estimates.

“While this month’s tax collections indicate some good news, corporate income tax collections have significantly missed the mark, which is concerning,” said Governor Laura Kelly. “My administration will continue to monitor revenues and prioritize fiscal responsibility as I craft my Fiscal Year 2027 budget proposal.”

Kansas House Speaker Dan Hawkins issued this statement regarding the Oct. collections:

"Legislative Republicans have been laser focused on putting money back in the pockets of Kansans via tax relief, reducing overall state spending by reforming the budgeting process, and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs," said Hawkins in a press release. "Today's numbers show that our approach is working. While Republicans are delivering results, Democrats, led by Governor Laura Kelly, have focused on expanding big, expensive government programs, filing lawsuits to block the investigation of waste, fraud, and abuse in government welfare programs, and running cover for the very Democrats shutting down the federal government and taking food off vulnerable children's tables."
