Before you publish: Oklahoma and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Oklahoma’s is More than $100,000 in Oklahoma taxable sales in the preceding or current calendar year (marketplace sales on which the facilitator collects Oklahoma tax are not counted toward the seller’s threshold). 68 O.S. § 1392
• 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
