AN ACT imposing a local compensating use tax
by cities and counties
10 upon intrastate sales
of certain vehicles.
11
12 Be it enacted by the Legislature of the
State of Kansas:
13 Section 1. (a) A
compensating use tax for the privilege of using or
14 storing within a city or county any vehicle
which is required to be regis-
15 tered under the provisions of article 1 of
chapter 8 of the Kansas Statutes
16 Annotated, and amendments thereto, and
which is purchased within this
17 state but without the local retailers'
sales taxing jurisdiction of such city
18 or county, is hereby imposed by every city
or county imposing a retailers'
19 sales tax. The rate of any such tax shall
be equal to the difference between
20 the aggregate rate of all local retailers'
sales tax rates imposed by all local
21 retailers sales taxing jurisdictions of the
situs of such vehicle less the ag-
22 gregate rate of all local retailers' sales
tax rates imposed by all local re-
23 tailers' sales taxing jurisdictions of the
situs of the purchase of such ve-
24 hicle. Except as otherwise provided in this
section, any city or county
25 imposing a compensating use tax is
prohibited from administering such
26 tax locally, but shall utilize the services
of the state department of revenue
27 to administer and enforce such tax. All
laws and rules and regulations of
28 the state department of revenue relating to
the Kansas compensating tax
29 shall apply to such local compensating use
tax insofar as the same may be
30 made applicable. Such tax shall be
collected by the county treasurer at
31 the time the vehicle is registered in this
state following a sale occurring
32 within this state. Registration of such
vehicle within a taxing jurisdiction
33 shall be deemed to constitute use or
storage thereof for compensating tax
34 purposes and the residence or place of
business of the applicant shall be
35 deemed to be the situs of such use or
storage for purposes of the collec-
36 tion and distribution thereof.
37 (b) The secretary of
revenue is authorized to administer and enforce
38 a city's or county's compensating use tax
and to adopt such rules and
39 regulations necessary for the efficient and
effective administration, en-
40 forcement and collection thereof.
41 (c) All revenue received
by any county treasurer from a countywide
42 compensating use tax shall be apportioned
among the county and each
43 city located in such county in the same
manner as provided in K.S.A. 12-
SB 529
2
1 192, and amendments thereto, for the
apportionment of revenue received
2 from a countywide retailers' sales
tax, and all revenue received from a city
3 compensating use tax shall be
remitted at least quarterly to the treasurer
4 of such city.
5 Sec. 2. This
act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
6 publication in the statute book.
