In Kansas, dealers, dismantlers, general businesses and exporters will need to provide Copart an operational license, a sales tax license and sales tax exemption forms.
The Kansas Department of Revenue issues dealer licenses (New & Used Vehicle Dealer and Wholesale Dealer licenses) and the dismantler license (Salvage Vehicle Dealer License). Your local municipality can set you up with a business license.
You can get your Retailers’ Sales Tax Registration Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue. Wholesalers may submit Form ST-28M in place of the sales tax license.
