Individual income tax collections totaled $468.1 million, which is $68.1 million (17%) above expectations and a 19.8% rise from the previous year. In contrast, corporate income tax collections were $228.1 million, falling short by $61.9 million (21.4%) and down 12.8% from September 2023.

“While total revenues align with our monthly estimates, we remain committed to being fiscally responsible to continue to build on the work we’ve done to restore the state’s fiscal health while providing tax relief,” Governor Laura Kelly said.
