Online Sales Tax for Retailers

If you’re an online seller, there are some items to take into consideration for sales tax collection.  In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to close online sales tax loopholes in its landmark South Dakota v. Wayfair decision.  The Supreme Court ruled that sales tax on internet retailers can be imposed by states, even if the retailer has no physical in-state presence.

The Kansas Department of Revenue (KDOR) took it a step further, earning the title “toughest in the nation” when it comes to sales tax collection.  In 2019, KDOR issued a notice providing guidance to remote sellers doing business within the state.  Online sellers without a physical presence in Kansas are required to collect and remit the applicable sales and use tax on sales delivered within the state.  At the time of this KDOR decision, no other state had taken the same position.
