The legal basics for Healdton businesses online

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 federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
