Rules that apply to a Burke business website
A few rules apply to any Burke business that sells or advertises online:
- Out-of-state sellers have to collect New York sales tax once they reach the state threshold: BOTH tests must be met in the immediately preceding four sales tax quarters: cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property delivered into New York exceeded $500,000 AND more than 100 such sales. Official source
- The New York State sales tax rate is 4%; cities, counties and school districts add local rates (roughly 3% to 4.75%), plus an extra 0.375% inside the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District. New York State Department of Taxation and Finance
Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
