TOPEKA (KSNT) — For some Kansans, utility bills may soon look a bit different.
Under Kansas law, the cost of delivering energy in the Sunflower State is exempt from sales taxes. However, Evergy has recently identified delivery charges that are eligible for a tax exemption.
This means Evergy Central and Evergy Metro customers will soon pay less in taxes. The delivery charges that are eligible for tax exemptions will be listed in its own section on customers’ bills. The change could take up to eight months to process.
What is the ‘Move Over’ law in Kansas?
27 News talked with Evergy spokeswoman Gina Penzig, who gave us some insight on exactly what Evergy customers can expect to change.
“This is taking the other delivery cost that were embedded in the energy charge and breaking them out so that they can also be exempted from taxes,” Penzig said. “Our customers will be paying a little bit less tax on their energy.”
