Running a website from Wamego: the Kansas rules

Some homework before launch:

• 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)
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Kansas’ is $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)
• 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
