A Missouri House committee is considering a bill that would significantly increase taxes and fees on the state’s casino industry. As lawmakers search for new revenue to replace Missouri’s income tax, gaming has emerged as a potential source.
That search has taken on new urgency in recent weeks. Missouri lawmakers have advanced a broader plan to eliminate the state’s income tax, with a proposed constitutional amendment now moving through the legislative process and toward a potential statewide vote later this year.
If enacted, House Bill 3533 could reshape how the casino industry operates in the state while helping fill part of a multibillion-dollar revenue gap tied to the proposed tax overhaul.
