Kansas Policy Group Opposes Marketplace Facilitator Bill

Kansas Action for Children released an issue brief expressing its opposition to S.B. 50, proposed legislation recently vetoed by the governor that would require marketplace facilitators to collect and remit sales, use, and transient guest taxes; the brief argues that while those provisions would make the state “economically competitive,” the bill creates an “expensive loophole” by not decoupling Kansas from the tax treatment of federal Paycheck Protection Program loans, which would “divert” revenue to high-income individuals and corporations.
