Before you publish: Oklahoma and federal rules

Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Welch businesses:

• The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered trade name (d/b/a). Title 18, Section 1140, Oklahoma Statutes
• 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

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
