HB 2013 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Discontinuing the imposition of sales tax on certain cable services.

HB 2013 removes the sales tax on cable, community antennae, and television services in Kansas. It amends the state tax code (K.S.A. 79-3603) to exclude these services from the standard 6.5% retail sales tax, effective January 1, 2023. This change directly affects cable and TV service providers and their customers, who will no longer pay state sales tax on these services. The bill modifies existing tax provisions to clarify that these services are not subject to the general sales tax levied on telecommunications and other taxable services.
