FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) state this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.

Officials of the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority state the extension of the Kansas City Transportation Sales Tax would generate approximately $29.1 million in revenues for FY2000, $29.9 million for FY2001 and $30.8 million for FY2002. The revenues collected from this tax are used to provide public mass transit and para-transit (for the elderly and handicapped) for the city of Kansas City, Mo. This fund is subsequently the 20 percent match for all federal grant funding.

This proposal would result in an increase in Total State Revenues since Collection Fees are included in the General Revenue Fund and general revenues are included in the calculation of Total State Revenue.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
Small businesses would be expected to be fiscally impacted to the extent that they pay local sales tax on taxable items. The extension of the Kansas City transportation sales tax would cause small businesses to continue to pay the local rate for such taxable items.
