Kansas Amazon Sales Tax
Kansas enforces its marketplace facilitator law since July 2021, and Amazon collects Kansas state and local sales tax on facilitated sales.
Overview
Kansas' marketplace facilitator law took effect July 1, 2021 under Senate Bill 50. The state base rate is 6.5%, with local jurisdictions adding on top, producing combined rates that range from 6.5% up to roughly 10.6% depending on location. Amazon collects and remits Kansas state and local sales tax on orders it facilitates into the state.
Kansas has an unusual nexus history: it was the last state to formally adopt a safe-harbor economic nexus threshold, and SB 50 set that threshold at $100,000 in cumulative gross receipts with no 200-transaction prong. Kansas is an Amazon fulfillment-center state (including facilities in the Edgerton/Kansas City area), which historically created physical nexus for inventory stored there.
For Amazon-only sellers, Amazon's collection covers Kansas marketplace orders, so there is no separate ongoing registration obligation tied solely to those sales. Sellers with direct (non-Amazon) Kansas sales should evaluate the $100,000 threshold and consult a tax professional for edge cases.
What FBA sellers still need to know
No registration for ongoing Amazon-only sales. Direct/non-Amazon sellers with more than $100,000 in cumulative gross receipts from Kansas sales in the current or preceding calendar year must register and remit (Kansas uses a sales-dollar threshold only, with no transaction count).
