Running a website from Hillsdale: the Oklahoma rules

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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 contact form collects personal information, and Oklahoma has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Security Breach Notification Act, 24 O.S. §§ 161 to 166 (Laws 2008, c. 86; amended by Laws 2025, c. 406, effective January 1, 2026)
