Economic nexus threshold

You must register and collect once your Kansas sales reach $100,000, measured over the previous or current calendar year. There is no transaction-count threshold. Cumulative gross receipts. Sales made through a marketplace facilitator do not count toward the remote seller's threshold — only your direct sales do.

Marketplace facilitator rules

Since July 2021, marketplace facilitators (Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Etsy, TikTok Shop) collect and remit Kansas tax on your marketplace sales. How Kansas treats them:

Who collects?Facilitatoron marketplace orders; you collect on direct Shopify store orders (not TikTok / Facebook & Instagram orders routed through Shopify), WooCommerce, or your own site.

Count toward nexus?Noonly your direct sales are tested against the remote-seller threshold.

Do you still file?YesYes — a registered seller still files, even for periods where all sales were through marketplaces (a zero or marketplace-only return).

How reported?DeductionDeduction if registered.

Direct salesYou collectdirect Shopify store orders, WooCommerce, your own site, invoices — you collect and remit on your return.

Marketplace treatment changes state by state and year by year — SalesTax50 separates marketplace and direct sales automatically, but confirm with Kansas Dept. of Revenue when in doubt.

Filing portal & AutoFile

FAQ

Do I need a Kansas permit if I only sell on Amazon?

If you exceed the $100,000 threshold with your direct (non-marketplace) sales or have physical presence (including inventory in Kansas warehouses), yes — you must register even though Amazon collects for you.

What if I sell on Shopify and TikTok Shop?

TikTok Shop collects as a marketplace facilitator; Shopify does not. You collect on Shopify orders and report both streams on your Kansas Customer Service Center return — SalesTax50 separates them automatically.

What about WooCommerce and Etsy?

Same split: Etsy collects as a marketplace facilitator; WooCommerce is your own store, so you collect on WooCommerce orders. Connect both and SalesTax50 keeps the marketplace and direct streams separate on your Kansas Customer Service Center return.

Does SalesTax50 file Kansas returns automatically?

Yes — AutoFile prepares your CT-9U Retailers Compensating Use from imported sales; you approve every return before it is submitted, and setting up your existing Kansas permit is included at no extra charge.
