WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) - Kansans will notice something different on their grocery receipts in 2025 -- no state sales tax on most foods. On Wednesday, Jan. 1, the state’s food sales tax fell from 2% to 0%. In May 2022, Gov. Laura Kelly signed House Bill 2106 into law to completely eliminate the food sales tax by 2025. Local sales taxes will still apply.
