New Kansas Laws Effective July 1st, 2025

Senate Bill 35 discontinues the state property tax levies for the Kansas educational building fund and the state institutions building fund and instead finances these expenses with revenue from the state general fund.

Senate Bill 269 which was enacted in April 2025 over the governor’s veto, creates a trigger-based system to reduce tax rates when individual and corporate income tax revenues exceed an inflation-adjusted FY 2024 baseline and the Budget Stabilization Fund balance is at 15 percent of the prior year’s general fund tax collections.  The individual income tax rate will be reduced first, until it reaches a flat rate of 4 percent, followed by reductions to the corporate income tax surtax until the normal tax and surtax reach a combined rate of 4 percent.  Finally, the privilege tax will be reduced until the combined normal tax and surtax amount is 2.6 percent for banks and 2.62 percent for trusts and savings and loan associations  The first year an individual income tax cut may be triggered un this law is tax year 2026.  So, nothing has changed as of today, but we could see lower rates in 2026.

Corporate Transparency Act

On 03/21/25, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued an interim final rule (IFR) that removes the requirement for U.S companies and U.S. persons to report beneficial ownership information (BOI) to FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act.

In this interim final rule, FinCEN revises the definition of “reporting company” in its implementing regulations to mean only those entities that are formed under the law of a foreign country and that have registered to do business in any U.S. State or Tribal jurisdiction by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or similar office (formerly know as “foreign reporting companies”).  FinCEN also exempts entities previously know as “domestic reporting companies” from BOI reporting requirement.

Thus, through this interim final rule, all entities created in the United States–including those previously know as “domestic reporting companies”–and their beneficial owners will be exempt from the requirement to report BOI to FinCEN.  Foreign entities that meet the new definition of a “reporting company” and do not qualify for an exemption from the reporting requirement must report their BOI to FinCEN under new deadlines,.  These foreign entities, however, will not be required to report any U.S. persons as beneficial owners, and U.S. persons will not be required to report BOI with respect to any such entity for which they are a beneficial owner.

Upon the publication of the interim final rule, the following deadlines apply for foreign entities that are reporting companies:

  • Reporting companies registered to do business in the United States before the date of publication of the IFR must file BOI reports no later than 30 days from that date.
  • Reporting companies registered to do business in the United States on or after the date of publication of the IFR have 30 calendar days to file an initial BOI report after receiving notice that their registration is effective.
