Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

New York rules to know before your website goes live

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Plandome businesses:

• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; New York’s is 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.

• 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
