Running a website from Watts: the Oklahoma rules

Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Watts 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
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
