Do you need to collect sales tax?  How much sales tax should you collect? How do you register to collect sales tax? Who do you report them to, and how? When do you NOT need to collect taxes?

Right now you may only think of your taxes once a year, and no one really wants to talk about more taxes, right? Not to worry, sales taxes are paid by customers and can even be built into your prices. To help this money travel with ease through your business on its way to the Kansas Department of Revenue (KDOR), we recommend that you keep good records and CLICK HERE to read the Kansas Rural Center’s resource document Taxes and Your Agricultural Enterprise.
