Kentucky lawmakers completed their work Tuesday to reduce the state’s individual income tax rate, delivering on a top Republican priority just five days into this year's session. Final passage came on a 34-3 Senate vote to lower the tax to 3.

Some Democrats voted with Republicans Tuesday to pass a half-a-percent cut to Kentuckians’ individual income tax rate.

The bill will lower Kentucky’s individual income tax rate from 4% to 3.5% in 2026, a move projected to lower state revenue by $718 million annually.

A bill that would further cut the state’s income tax rate is headed to Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s desk after final passage Tuesday in the Kentucky Senate.
