POLICY STATEMENT:

State and local laws require each department to collect a sales tax on all sales of personal property except on sales to persons furnishing an exemption certificate.

Sales tax collected must be indicated on all deposit slips.

The selling department must keep a copy of the exemption certificate on file for audit purposes. Types of sales on which sales tax is required to be collected are for photocopy services, sales of pamphlets, books, maps, and supplies of all kinds.

"Selling price" means the total cost to the consumer exclusive of discounts allowed and credited, but including freight and transportation charges from retailer to consumer.

The controlling statutes are K.S.A. 79-3602, 79-3603 and 79-3606. Reporting to the State of the taxes collected will be handled by the Comptroller's Office.
