How Kansas Handles Tax on Shipping

Kansas taxes delivery charges if they’re part of the sale of taxable goods.

General Rule

Taxable: Shipping is taxable if taxable items are included in the shipment.

Exempt: If all items are exempt, shipping is exempt as well.

Handling Charges

Handling or combined “shipping & handling” charges are taxable.

Best Practices for Compliance

• Separate shipping on invoices.
  ​

• Be cautious with mixed orders — taxable items make the shipping taxable too.
  ​

Example

1. Selling taxable electronics for $300 with $25 delivery → $25 is taxable.
   ​

2. Selling exempt groceries for $300 with $25 delivery → $25 is exempt.
