Form RD-108/ 108B is a tax return filed annually and is used to pay the 1% earnings tax on the net profits of a business. The return is due by April 15 of each year and is required even if there is a loss. If you file income taxes on a fiscal year basis, the return is due 105 days from the end of your fiscal year.
Extensions of time to file may be requested by submitting Form RD-111. Extension requests are granted to provide an additional six months to file. They are not an extension of time to pay the tax due. A payment of at least 90% of the tax due must be submitted with Form RD-111 to avoid penalty and interest. This request is separate from an extension request submitted to the IRS for federal income tax purposes and should be sent directly to the Revenue Division. The IRS does not send this information to municipalities.
Tips
- Wholesalers should only report their “destination sales” (i.e. sales delivered to a point within Kansas City, Missouri) on Line 24 B of Schedule Y on Form RD-108B.

Earnings and Profits Tax Regulations
Employers are required to deduct the earnings tax on wages and salaries paid to residents of Kansas City, Missouri and non-residents performing services within Kansas City, Missouri city limits.
In general, taxable earnings are gross compensation less contributions to cafeteria plans and qualified deferred compensation plans, similar to the amount used to calculate Box 1 of Form W-2 for federal income tax purposes. The withholding tax is to be remitted to the City at the same frequency used for state income tax withholding purposes. Remittances can be made electronically on Quick Tax or by using Form RD-130M or Form RD-130QM.
In addition to regular remittances, Form RD-110 is a return that is filed quarterly to report the taxable earnings paid for the quarter. The return is required even if there was no withholding during the quarter. Payments can be made with Form RD-110 for amounts not previously paid through prior remittances. Beginning January 1, 2021, Form RD-110 must be filed electronically. Employers can use Quick Tax or the Bulk Filing Program through a third party payroll provider. Failure to file electronically may result in filing penalties.
After the end of each year, employers are also required to file a reconciliation of annual withholdings to payments remitted on Form RD-113. The return is due by January 31. W-2 information is also required to be submitted at the same time. W-2 information should only be provided for employees who had earnings tax withheld from their compensation. Beginning January 1, 2021, Form RD-113 must be filed electronically. This includes W-2 records. Employers can use Quick Tax or the Bulk Filing Program through a third party payroll provider.
Tips
- Employers that fail to submit Form RD-113 or W-2 records are subject to a penalty. The penalties mirror those charged by the Internal Revenue Service.
- For non-residents, proportional withholding can be done based on the immediate experience of a person in the same position for the preceding year or the average experience of all individuals who have held the same position. For more information see the Earnings and Profits Tax Regulations.
