To All Departmental Purchasing Agents and anyone else involved in the purchasing of goods or services for the basic operations of the City of Overland Park:
As a result of new tax legislation (Section 21 of House Bill 2375), the Kansas Department of Revenue has assigned a unique Tax Exempt Identification Number and special Tax Certificate containing this number to all known Kansas-based tax-exempt entities.
This new uniquely-numbered certificate is being issued to streamline the tax exemption process for the City and other local government entities as well as to assist Kansas retailers in identifying the non-profit entities exempt from paying Kansas sales or use tax. You may begin using this certificate immediately.
Please disregard any old copies of the previous exemption form and use the new exemption form. Kansas retailers have been instructed to not accept any other type of exemption certificates from the entities affected by the legislation.
All City purchasing cards have a sticker with the new sales tax exempt number applied to the back of them.
If you have any questions, please call the Finance department at 913/895-6154.
