1 - 410  ●The pro rata or distributive share of the entity’s income for each nonresident owner 
that is attributable to Kansas; and
●The pro rata or distributive share of the entity’s income for each resident owner 
calculated either before or after allocation and apportionment to Kansas. Entities 
would be required to use the same method of calculation for all resident owners.
The bill would provide that tax credits attributable to the electing entity would be passed 
through to and claimed by the entity owner.
The bill would also provide that addition and subtraction modifications and expensing 
deductions that are attributable to the activities of electing pass-through entities would be 
claimed on the tax returns of the entity and the entity’s owners in the same proportion and 
manner as they would have applied without the SALT Parity Act election.
The provisions of the bill would be retroactive to tax year 2022. 
Net Operating Loss Subtraction Modification
The bill would create a subtraction modification allowing taxpayers who carried back 
federal net operating losses in tax years 2018 through 2020 pursuant to the federal Coronavirus 
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to subtract such amounts from their income for 
purposes of determining Kansas adjusted gross income. Taxpayers would be permitted to carry 
forward such net operating loss for up to 20 years if the amount exceeds the Kansas adjusted 
gross income of the taxpayer.
The bill would extend the deadline for eligible taxpayers to file amended returns for tax 
years 2018 through 2020 until April 15, 2025.
Federal Tax Credit Disallowance Subtraction Modifications
The bill would enact, beginning in tax year 2021, a subtraction modification in determining 
Kansas adjusted gross income equal to the amount of federal disallowance related to any 
federal credit under Subsection (a) of Section 280C of the federal Internal Revenue Code and, 
effective for tax years 2020 and 2021, 50 percent of the amount of federal disallowance related 
to the Employee Retention Tax Credit.
For the Employee Retention Tax Credit disallowance, the taxpayer would be required to 
prove that Kansas income tax had previously been paid on the disallowed amount and would be 
permitted to file a claim for refund or amended return on or before April 15, 2025.
The bill would also eliminate statutory references to repealed federal tax credits.
[Note: Subsection (a) of Section 280C of the Internal Revenue Code generally pertains to 
disallowed deductions associated with employment-related tax credits.]
2 - 410  Disallowed Business Interest
The bill would clarify the addition and subtraction modifications for disallowed business 
interest to specify that the addition modification is applicable to interest expenses paid or 
accrued in previous tax years and carried forward to the current tax year and that the 
subtraction modification is for interest expense actually paid or accrued in the current tax year.
The bill would also provide for tax year 2021 to include a subtraction modification for 
interest expenses paid or accrued in tax year 2021 to include the sum of interest expenses paid 
or accrued in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020, less the sum of the amounts allowed as a 
deduction pursuant to Section 163 of the federal Internal Revenue Code in tax years 2018, 
2019, and 2020.
Withholding Tax Remittance Penalties
The bill would replace the 15 percent penalty for employers not timely remitting withholding 
taxes with a graduated penalty system providing for penalties as follows:
●2 percent, if the remittance is 1 to 5 days late;
●5 percent, if the remittance is 6 to 15 days late;
●10 percent, if the remittance is more than 15 days late; and
●15 percent, if the remittance is more than 15 days late and the Department of 
Revenue notified the taxpayer regarding the delinquency, but the tax was not remitted 
within 10 days of the notification. 
Single City Port Authority Tax Credit Extension
The bill would extend the income tax credit attributable to the retirement of indebtedness 
authorized by a single city port authority, currently scheduled to expire after tax year 2024, 
through tax year 2029. 
Property Tax Changes
Revenue Neutral Rate Changes
The bill would specify that county clerks are not required to send hearing notices to owners 
of property that is exempt from taxation.
The bill would also require the vote of a governing body to exceed the revenue neutral rate 
to take place on the same day as the commencement of the public hearing to exceed the rate.
The bill would also authorize governing bodies that do not hold hearings pursuant to the 
revenue neutral rate process to exceed their revenue neutral rate in the case where the final 
taxable valuation of the taxing entity is less than the estimated value used to calculate the 
3 - 410  revenue neutral rate, as long as the actual tax levy of the taxing entity is equal to or less than 
the tax levied in the previous year.
The bill would also replace the current provisions establishing minimum requirements for 
the contents of the revenue neutral rate hearing notice with new provisions specifying the 
heading and opening statement of the notice and requiring:
●The appraised and assessed value of the taxpayer’s property for the current and 
previous year;
●The amount of property tax of each taxing subdivision on the property from the 
previous year’s tax statement;
●The estimated amount of property tax for the current year of each taxing subdivision 
based on the revenue neutral rate;
●The estimated amount of property tax for the current year of each taxing subdivision 
based on the greater of the revenue neutral rate or the proposed tax rate provided by 
the subdivision to the county clerk, if the subdivision has notified the clerk of its intent 
to exceed the revenue neutral rate;
●The difference between the current year’s maximum tax and the previous year’s tax, 
in both dollars and percent, for each taxing subdivision;
●The date, time, and location of the hearing for each subdivision intending to exceed 
the revenue neutral rate; and
●For each taxing subdivision holding a revenue neutral rate hearing, the difference 
between the current year’s maximum tax and the estimated tax at the revenue neutral 
rate.
The bill would also extend for one additional year, through calendar year 2024, the state 
reimbursement of printing and postage costs incurred when county clerks are required to mail 
notices of proposed tax increases beyond the revenue neutral rate. The bill also would extend 
the transfer from the State General Fund to the Taxpayer Notification Costs Fund to reimburse 
the printing and postage costs for one additional year.
Electric Generation Facility Exemptions
The bill would exempt the following property, as defined by the bill, from all property and ad 
valorem taxes:
●Any new electric generation facility, including nuclear energy facilities, for which 
construction begins on or after January 1, 2025;
●Any new addition to an electric generation facility constructed or installed on or after 
January 1, 2025; and 
●Any new pollution-control device constructed or installed at an electric generation 
facility on or after January 1, 2025.
4 - 410  The new exemption would not apply to electric generation facilities that convert renewable 
energy sources to electricity and would apply for ten taxable years following the commencement 
of construction or installation of the property. [Note: Such facilities would continue to be eligible 
for property tax exemptions under existing law.]
The bill would specify that existing property and ad valorem tax exemptions for electric 
generation facilities and additions to such facilities, including pollution-control devices, would 
only apply to property for which an application for exemption is filed prior to December 31, 2024.
Agricultural Land Adverse Influence
The bill would codify the adjustments reducing the taxable value of agricultural land on the 
basis of adverse influences not sufficiently accounted for in the agricultural use valuation 
formula that are currently provided for in administrative guidance from the Property Valuation 
Division of the Department of Revenue.
The codified adverse influences would include, but not be limited to:
●Canopy cover, for which value is reduced from 20 to 50 percent based upon canopy 
covering of 25 to 100 percent of the impacted land;
●Salinity and alkalinity, for which value is reduced based upon a taxpayer-provided soil 
analysis from a crop consulting service;
●Water table fluctuation, for which value is reduced based upon the results of a U.S. 
Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service review of the 
water table levels of the impacted land; and
●Newly constructed drainage and flood control areas, for which value is reduced based 
upon the impact on land use from newly constructed drainage and flood control 
areas.
Agritourism Land Classification
The bill would specify, beginning in tax year 2021, that land devoted to agricultural use 
would include land and buildings utilized as part of a registered agritourism activity at a 
registered agritourism location by a registered agritourism operator.
The selling of merchandise associated with the registered agritourism activity by the 
agritourism operator would not change the classification of the land or buildings as a result of 
such sales.
Residential Valuation Appeals
The bill would permit the use of appraisals performed by Kansas Certified Residential Real 
Property Appraisers for the equalization appeal procedure wherein a taxpayer files a third-party 
fee simple appraisal within 60 days after the notice of informal meeting results or final 
determination is mailed to the taxpayer.
5 - 410  [Note: Current law provides for only the use of appraisals performed by Kansas Certified 
General Real Property Appraisers for this appeal procedure.]
Personal Property Filing Changes
The bill would limit the instances in which a taxpayer must file statements regarding 
tangible personal property for tax purposes, reduce penalties for late filings, and specify 
circumstances in which extensions of time for filing such statements and abatements of 
penalties would be provided.
The bill would provide that if an initial statement listing tangible personal property for 
taxation has been filed with a county appraiser, future annual filings would only be required 
when there has been a change to report that is related to the property previously listed or to the 
initial statement.
The bill would reduce the penalty for late filing of oil and gas leases and tangible personal 
property from 5 percent to 2 percent per month with the maximum penalty for late filing being 
reduced from 25 percent to 10 percent. The penalty for a failure to file resulting in escaped 
taxation would be reduced from 50 percent to 12.5 percent.
The bill would require county appraisers, who currently have discretionary authority to do 
so, to grant an extension of a reasonable amount of time for taxpayers to file tangible personal 
property for taxation upon a showing of good cause.
County appraisers and the State Board of Tax Appeals would be required to abate late 
filing penalties under cases of excusable neglect or in the event the property has been 
repossessed by a creditor who paid the taxes on the property. [Note: Current law provides only 
the State Board of Tax Appeals with discretionary authority to abate such penalties.]
Beginning in tax year 2022, such good cause and excusable neglect would be specified to 
include instances in which tangible personal property had been previously classified as real 
property or a fixture to real property and was reclassified to be personal property. Such 
instances would be specified to include machinery and equipment used in industries of grain 
storage and processing and ethanol or other biofuels processing.
Board of Tax Appeals Teleconferencing
The bill would allow the State Board of Tax Appeals (BOTA) to conduct small claims and 
expedited hearings and appeals by teleconference or video conference as directed by the Chief 
Hearing Officer or a designee. 
[Note: Current law requires such hearings and appeals to be held in the county or an 
adjacent county of where the property is located.]
6 - 410  Sales Tax Changes
The bill would authorize the boards of county commissioners of Marshall County, Neosho 
County, and Rawlins County to submit to the voters of the respective county a question of 
imposing a countywide sales tax:
●For Marshall County, at a rate of 1.0 percent for the purpose of financing construction 
of a jail facility;
●For Neosho County, at a rate of 0.5 percent for the purpose of financing the costs of 
roadway and bridge construction, maintenance, and improvement; and
●For Rawlins County, at a rate of up to 1.0 percent for the purpose of financing the 
construction or remodeling of attendance centers or other facilities of any school 
district within the county.
The respective taxes would expire upon their proceeds being sufficient to pay all costs 
authorized in financing the costs of the purposes described above.
The proceeds of the taxes would not be subject to apportionment with the cities of the 
respective county.

would require a  transfer of $1.4 million from the State General Fund to the Taxpayer Notification 
Costs Fund.
The following provisions would have either an indeterminate fiscal effect, a negligible fiscal 
effect, or no state fiscal effect:
●The provisions related to agritourism land classification and agricultural land adverse 
influences would have indeterminate fiscal effect on state and local property taxes;
