Abstract: We deal with the Cauchy problem for multi-dimensional scalar conservation laws, where the fluxes and the source terms can be discontinuous functions of the unknown. The main novelty of the paper is the introduction of a~kinetic formulation for the considered problem. To handle the discontinuities we work in the framework of re-parametrization of the flux and the source functions, which was previously used for Kruv{z}kov entropy solutions. Within this approach we obtain a fairly complete picture: existence of entropy measure valued solutions, entropy weak solutions and their equivalence to the kinetic solution. The results of existence and uniqueness follow under the assumption of H"{o}lder continuity at zero of the flux. The source term, what is another novelty for the studies on problems with discontinuous flux, is only assumed to be one-side Lipschitz, not necessarily monotone function.
