New York rules to know before your website goes live

These are some of the New York and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect New York sales tax once they reach the state threshold: BOTH tests must be met in the immediately preceding four sales tax quarters: cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property delivered into New York exceeded $500,000 AND more than 100 such sales. Official source
• The New York State sales tax rate is 4%; cities, counties and school districts add local rates (roughly 3% to 4.75%), plus an extra 0.375% inside the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District. New York State Department of Taxation and Finance
