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