SPECIAL EVENTS OVERVIEW

Collecting sales tax at special events ensures a level playing field to all customers and vendors, maintains tax compliance with Kansas tax laws and regulations and improves the local economy. Sales tax is paid to the retailer/vendor by the consumer, remitted to the state by the retailer/vendor and distributed by the state to the city and county where the sale is made. The tax dollars collected help to pay for local schools, roads, police, fire protection and hospitals...in the community where it is generated.

Kansas requires that all persons and entities making retail sales, collecting admissions and/or renting tangible personal property in Kansas, collect and remit sales tax, even if selling only one time per year. This includes not-for-profit organizations.

Taxing jurisdictions should be aware of all special events occurring within their borders and notify the KDOR to ensure all vendors are collecting and remitting taxes timely and accurately. Special events include but are not limited to craft shows, trade shows, flea markets, art shows, farm markets, concerts, festivals, carnivals, swap meets, fairs, fund raising events, conventions, picnics and all other gatherings where retail sales, rental of tangible personal property and/or admissions of any sort are collected.

Frequently Asked Questions

An event is an occurrence, occasion, activity, amusement, entertainment or function at which merchandise is sold or traded, taxable services are provided or admissions are collected.

A fixed filer is a Kansas business that collects and remits sales tax from a fixed location and does not make deliveries or ship packages in Kansas.

No, there is not a fee for registration of your business with the Kansas Department of Revenue.

The simplest answer is that it is the law. Provided everyone complies, sales tax ensures fair opportunity to all vendors. The communities benefit because a portion of the sales tax is distributed to the jurisdiction where the sale takes place, and the sales tax revenues provide the roads and infrastructure that make the events possible.

When sales tax is included in the price, sales tax due is calculated by using the formula below:

Total Sales / 1.0 tax rate = Gross Sales

Total Sales – Gross Sales = Sales Tax

Example: Bob sold $830 worth of pumpkins at the Washington Farmers Market where the sales tax rate is 8.15 percent. Bob included sales tax in the price of each of his pumpkins. Bob would calculate the sales tax due as follows:

830 / 1.0815 = 767.46
