Gov. Beshear proposes temporary cut in state sales tax

By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - To help Kentuckians combat rising prices due to inflation brought on by the global pandemic, Gov. Andy Beshear announced today that he is providing immediate vehicle property tax relief and proposed a temporary 1% drop in the state sales tax.

Under the Governor's proposal, Kentuckians would see tax relief of approximately $1.2 billion, of which $873 million is directly related to sales tax savings and $340 million is from the reduction in vehicle property taxes.

"A booming economy and the best state budget in 25 years means we can do more to help our working families and small businesses buy and sell the essential goods and services that are costing more and that are simply priced too high," Gov. Beshear said. "We have all had enough - and today I am doing something about it by providing immediate vehicle property tax relief and proposing a cut in the sales tax."
