Destination vs origin sourcing

Kansas is a destination-based sourcing state. The applicable rate is the rate at the customer's delivery address, not your store's. For in-store sales, origin = destination so it doesn't matter. For ecommerce/wholesale, you must look up the buyer's ZIP+4 jurisdiction code on the Kansas DOR site.

Economic nexus (out-of-state sellers)

Kansas requires registration once you exceed $100,000 in Kansas sales in the previous or current calendar year. There is no transaction-count test as of 2026 (Kansas dropped it). Marketplace facilitators (Amazon, eBay, Etsy) collect on your behalf for marketplace sales — those count toward the threshold but don't require you to file separately.

Grocery food fully exempt at state level (2026)

Kansas phased out the state grocery sales tax: 6.5% → 4% (Jan 2023) → 2% (Jan 2024) → 0% (Jan 2025). Most local rates also dropped or were eliminated for groceries. Prepared food, restaurant meals, candy, soft drinks, and dietary supplements are not 'grocery food' and remain fully taxable.
