# Registering for a Kentucky sales tax permit

Kentucky's state sales tax rate is 6% and its remote seller threshold is $100,000 in sales, measured over the previous or current calendar year. If your business has crossed it and needs a permit, we prepare and submit the Kentucky registration through revenue.ky.gov/Business/Sales-Use-Tax/pages/default.aspx for $99, plus any state fee at cost.

## The Kentucky rule for out-of-state sellers

$100,000 or more of gross receipts from sales into Kentucky. Kentucky DOR SSUTA recertification letter (July 29, 2026): House Bill 757 (2026) "removed the economic nexus standard of 200 or more sales transactions" for remote retailers (KRS 139.340) and marketplace providers (KRS 139.450), effective August 1, 2026. Kentucky has no local sales taxes.

## Digital products in Kentucky

Sales tax applies to retail sales of digital property.

Kentucky has a marketplace facilitator law, so sales through a marketplace that collects for you are handled by the marketplace.
