LAWRENCE — Bill Self isn’t paying state taxes on the bulk of his millions of dollars of income as men’s basketball coach at Kansas, and it’s all legal under 2012 tax reforms pressed by Gov. Sam Brownback.
KCUR Radio (http://bit.ly/1Tkll2m ) reports that while Self — the state’s highest-paid employee — earns a taxable salary of $230,000 a year, he also gets at least $2.75 million annually from the entity that runs the school’s intercollegiate sports. Those millions go to Self’s BCLT II limited liability company, which is among the nearly 334,000 Kansas businesses that owe no state income taxes under the 2012 tax cuts.
