When a customer receives more than one vehicle on an even trade from a dealer and no money changes hands, no taxes are due. If a Kansas resident purchases a vehicle in a county other than their county of resident, local sales tax will be assessed, or collected by the dealer, at the rate for the county in which the transaction took place. If the purchaser’s county of residence has a higher rate local sales tax rate, the difference will be assessed at time of application.
