Sales Tax Exemption for 100% Disabled Veterans (Effective July 2026)

Honorably discharged Kansas resident certified by the VA as having a 100% service-connected permanent disability OR deemed totally disabled or unemployable (TDIU/individual unemployability qualifies) with a permanent service-connected disability, per K.S.A. 79-3606h. Veteran must obtain a veteran exemption identification number from the Kansas Secretary of Revenue and will receive an exemption certificate in driver's-license-card form. Surviving spouse may continue the exemption until remarriage. Effective on and after July 1, 2026.

Exempt from Kansas state sales tax on purchases up to $24,000 per year per eligible person. Does NOT apply to motor vehicles, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, electronic cigarettes, or consumable materials for e-cigarettes. At the current Kansas state sales tax rate of 6.5%, this could save up to approximately $1,560/year.

Apply for the exemption identification number through the Kansas Secretary of Revenue once the exemption takes effect; coordinate with the Kansas Office of Veterans Services for documentation assistance.
