Address Tax Rate Locater Web Services
What are Web Services?
Web Services provide
you with direct access to the Kansas Department of Revenue's technology
platform. Using the Web Service we provide, you can
access
Sales tax rate data using address and/or zip code information and
tie the data into your shopping cart checkout process or
accounting
system
in real
time.
How do I use KDOR's Web Services?
- Download the WSDL (Web Service Description Language). A WSDL is a document written in XML which describes a Web service. It specifies the location of the service and the operations (or methods) the service exposes. For more information on WSDL's go here.
- Integrate KDOR's Web Service into your existing application. To do this, you must be familiar with the code your shopping cart is written in, and also the code must be modifiable.

- Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Streamlined Sales Tax
Please check to make sure you have the latest Rates and Boundaries Instructional Paper, as it was updated by the National Streamlined Sales Tax Group in August, 2005. This paper has made some slight changes to the records layout. They include a one character designator at the beggining of each record to designate that it is an address, 5 digit zip code, or 9 digit zip code record.
Boundary and Rate Tables
IMPORTANT: Beginning with January 2009, the boundary file addresses will no longer be consolidated. This means that the file will now contain 500,000+ records and will be in a zip archive with the rate file. You will need a tool such as WinZip or WinRar to access the files.
