The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce is set to host a State and Federal Tax Reform Summit on Monday, June 25 to provide thoughtful discussion on improving Kentucky’s competitiveness through tax reform.  The summit will allow business leaders, advocates and citizens an opportunity to hear from and interact with local, state and federal policy makers.

A panel of legislative leaders including Acting House Speaker David Osborne, Senate Majority Floor Leader Damon Thayer and Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee Chair Chris McDaniel will discuss the recently passed reforms and what further changes will need to be made based on any oversights crafting the law and more during the Policy Makers Panel moderated by Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Dave Adkisson.

Members of the Bevin administration including Commissioner of Revenue Daniel Bork and State Budget Director’s Office Economist Greg Harkenrider will speak about how the changes to the tax code will be interpreted and implemented.

Kentucky Congressman Andy Barr will kick off the day with comments about tax reform efforts at the federal level and how they could impact Kentucky.

The Summit will include several additional experts on state and federal tax reform and representatives from national groups including the U.S. Chamber, Tax Foundation and Council on State Taxation.
