Kansas rules to know before your website goes live

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Kansas rules as any other.

• 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
• A contact form collects personal information, and Kansas has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. K.S.A. 50-7a02 (Security breach; requirements)

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
