Missouri Senate Moves on Tax Cut Legislation

Missouri senators on Tuesday gave first-round approval to a bill to cut state individual income taxes as called for by Republican Gov. Mike Parson.

The GOP-led Senate’s compromise plan would immediately cut the top income tax rate from the current 5.3% down to 4.95%. Parson had asked lawmakers to take the top tax rate to 4.8%. That tax cut could go even lower if certain revenue benchmarks are met. 

Once the finalized proposal is passed, it will move to the State House for consideration.
