TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas is reporting that it collected $81 million more in taxes in April than anticipated even after officials issued a more optimistic fiscal forecast during the month.
The state Department of Revenues report Wednesday came as Republican legislators attempted to revive a tax relief bill.
The Department of Revenue said Kansas collected nearly $1.2 billion in taxes during April when it expected a little more than $1.1 billion. The surplus was 7.3 percent.
The new forecast issued in mid-April increased projections for tax collections through June 2021.
