Oklahoma rules to know before your website goes live

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

• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Oklahoma’s is More than $100,000 in Oklahoma taxable sales in the preceding or current calendar year (marketplace sales on which the facilitator collects Oklahoma tax are not counted toward the seller’s threshold). 68 O.S. § 1392
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
