The Credits Sold Bill
Kansas housing tax credits could be sold to other people
Providing for transferability of Kansas housing investor tax credits from the year that the credit was originally issued.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would let people who get tax breaks for housing projects sell those breaks to others, making the tax breaks more useful for investors.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would make tax credits for housing projects easier for investors to use or sell. This could make more people want to build housing in Kansas. But it also means the state would collect less tax money, which could affect how much money is available for things like schools or roads. People should think about if making these tax breaks more flexible is worth the possible loss in state money.
