Disability Employment Act, formerly known as the Qualified Vendor Tax Credit program allows taxpayers to claim a 15% tax credit for expenditures of goods and services purchased from qualified vendors. The Kansas Department of Commerce will certify the qualified expenditures as eligible for the tax credit through the application process. The amount of the tax credit for each taxpayer is not to exceed $500,000 per qualified vendor relationship per tax year. The aggregate amount of tax credits under the Act is $5.0 million in tax years 2019 through 2023, $8.0 million in tax years 2024 through 2028, and $8.0 million for each successive five tax years starting in tax year 2029.
