What Kansas asks of a business with a website
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Formoso businesses:
- Kansas levies a state sales tax of 6.5% on retail sales of tangible personal property and taxable services, and cities and counties add local sales taxes on top of it. Kansas Department of Revenue
- Out-of-state sellers have to collect Kansas sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $100,000 of cumulative gross receipts from sales to customers in Kansas in the current or immediately preceding calendar year. There is no transaction-count test. K.S.A. 79-3702(h)
