Oklahoma and federal rules for small business websites
Selling or advertising online brings no special license, but these apply to most Johnson businesses:
- 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
- A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
