Groceries are slightly cheaper in Kansas following a food sales tax cut that went into effect Jan. 1, but you may still have questions about how much you’re paying. The cut lowers the sales tax rate on many food items from 6.5% to 4%. But some Kansas consumers have complained they’re still getting charged too much or have otherwise expressed confusion about the numbers on their receipts. … While the state sales tax on food was cut from 6.5% to 4%, that’s not the only tax you get charged at checkout. Shoppers still pay separate sales taxes on food to both the county and city they’re shopping in. You may also pay additional sales taxes if you are shopping in areas designated Community Improvement Districts, which are aimed at incentivizing developers.
