Rules that apply to an Oakdale business website

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Tennessee rules as any other.

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Tennessee sales tax once they reach the state threshold: More than $100,000 in sales to Tennessee customers during the previous 12-month period (threshold cut from $500,000 to $100,000 effective October 1, 2020). Official source
• Tennessee’s general state sales tax rate is 7%, and a local rate set by the county or city is added on top. Tennessee Department of Revenue
• A business operating in a Tennessee county or incorporated municipality and grossing $100,000 or more must register for and pay business tax, which is administered with county and city business licenses; the city business tax applies where the city has enacted it. In Oakdale, that means asking Morgan County and the Town of Oakdale. Official source
