Did you buy groceries from a Walmart location in Kansas this week? You might be owed some money, so check your receipt. When the reduced food sales tax went into effects, Walmart mistakenly charged the higher outdated rate. Walmart said customers who believe they were overcharged sales tax on a food purchase this week should seek a refund at the store. It’s unclear when or how the issue was discovered, how many customers were affected, whether it was statewide or affected only certain regions.
The food sales tax went from 6.5% to 4% January 1st, thanks to the state of State of Kansas gradual elimination of the tax. Governor Kelly will press the Legislature to eliminate the entirety of the tax during the upcoming session.
