Kansas 2025-2026 Regular Session

Kansas House Bill HB2162

Introduced
1/30/25  

Caption

Excluding from sales taxation the service of installing or applying tangible personal property for the reconstruction, restoration, remodeling, renovation, repair or replacement of a building or facility.

Impact

The passage of HB2162 is expected to have a significant impact on state tax laws as it modifies K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-3603 to create specific exemptions for services connected with tangible personal property. This change is anticipated to encourage more renovation and repair projects, as contractors and property owners will face lower financial liabilities associated with sales tax on related services. Notably, the bill's exemption could lead to increased competition and lower costs for consumers in the construction and renovation market.

Summary

House Bill 2162 proposes to amend the existing sales tax regulations by excluding the service of installing or applying tangible personal property related to the reconstruction, restoration, remodeling, renovation, repair, or replacement of buildings and facilities from sales taxation. This legislative initiative is spearheaded by the Committee on Taxation at the request of the Associated General Contractors of Kansas, reflecting the interests of construction professionals who argue that such exemption will provide financial relief and stimulate economic activity within the sector.

Contention

While the proposed bill is supported by many in the construction industry, there are concerns regarding its potential long-term implications for state revenue. Critics may argue that excluding certain services from taxation could lead to a decrease in state tax income, necessitating increases in taxes elsewhere or cuts to governmental services. The debate centers around balancing the interests of promoting local business growth in the construction sector against ensuring that state revenue remains stable and sufficient to fund public services.
