Kentucky and federal rules for small business websites

Selling or advertising online brings no special license, but these apply to most Calvert City businesses:

• Kentucky sales and use tax is 6% of gross receipts, and there are no local sales and use taxes anywhere in the state. Kentucky Department of Revenue
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Kentucky’s is 200 or more sales into Kentucky, or $100,000 or more in gross receipts from sales into Kentucky. Kentucky still keeps the 200-transaction test. KRS 139.340(2)(g)
