How can Kansas be more competitive with taxes?
11/18/25 KSNT
K-State College of Business Administration Professor Amy Hageman studies public interest elements of taxation. She said Kansas ranks in the middle of the pack nationally for tax competitiveness. She said the most competitive states are the ones that could afford to drop certain types of taxes.

“Wyoming, for instance, they’re ranked number one,” Hageman said. “They don’t have an individual income tax. They don’t have a corporate income tax. What they do have, which isn’t really captured here, is they have a pipeline property tax because of oil and natural resources. We [the State of Kansas] don’t have that. We’re not going to be able to get rid of individual and corporate income tax and fund things with a pipeline property tax.”
