This bill would change how Kentucky taxes individual income by creating a tiered system where different portions of income are taxed at different rates, up to $300,000. Income above $300,000 would be taxed at a flat rate of 6%, and the bill would also remove the current process that allows the income tax rate to be gradually reduced over time. Who it may affect: Kentucky residents who pay individual income tax, particularly higher earners and those who may have benefited from future rate reductions under current law.
