## Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office

**Reported tax rate:** 3% of gross premiums less returned premiums for surplus-lines insureds whose home state is Kansas; the 3% rate applies beginning with taxable year January 1, 2024 For surplus-lines business whose insured's home state is Kansas, the licensed agent must collect and pay a 3% tax on gross premiums less returned premiums; the 3% rate applies beginning with the taxable year starting January 1, 2024. For an exempt commercial purchaser, the surplus-lines producer need not file the signed diligent-search statement after disclosing that admitted-market insurance may or may not be available and may provide greater protection and oversight, then receiving the purchaser's subsequent written request.[^4][^5]
