HB 2599 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Exempting minor-owned businesses from paying sales tax on the first $10,000 of sales from tangible personal property sold each calendar year and from local taxes, licenses, permits and other local government permissions.

HB 2599, known as the "Kansas lemonade stand law," exempts minor-owned businesses (operated solely by individuals under 18) from paying state sales tax and local taxes, licenses, or permits on the first $10,000 of annual sales of goods. It specifically applies to small, seasonal or intermittent businesses like lemonade stands, where minors make under $10,000 yearly in gross sales. The law removes both state-level sales tax obligations and local government fees for qualifying businesses. This policy directly supports young entrepreneurs by reducing startup costs for small-scale, temporary ventures.
