The governor “fundamentally believes that individuals should keep more of their hard-earned money,” the statement said. “Both the Tax Cuts and Job Act signed by President Trump and latest state income tax cut will benefit millions of Missourians.”

In the committee, Walters outlined a number of different examples of how the federal changes, combined with the updated tax tables, might affect taxpayers when they file their returns.

Under one scenario, a married couple making a total of $100,000 and each claiming one dependent would see their refund go to $67 for 2018 from $516 for 2017.

A single filer with no dependents making $36,000 annually would face a tax bill of $58 for 2018, rather than a refund of $53 as in 2017.

House Speaker Elijah Haahr, R-Springfield, said Thursday that Parson’s criticism would not stop the chamber from continuing to press Walters.

“We are the people’s body and give all Missourians a voice in state government. A core constitutional function of the elected Legislature is to have oversight over the unelected bureaucracy. The committee will continue to fully examine the actions by the Department of Revenue that are impacting taxpayers and state revenue, and to protect Missourians from experiencing this type of pain again,” Haahr said.
