Before you publish: New Jersey and federal rules

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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
• A corporation, LLC or LP that does business under a name other than its legal name registers an ALTERNATE NAME with DORES ($50, effective for five years, renewable). Sole proprietors and partnerships instead register a TRADE NAME with the county where the business is located. Official source
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect New Jersey sales tax once they reach the state threshold: Gross revenue from delivery of tangible personal property, specified digital products or services into New Jersey exceeds $100,000, OR 200 or more separate transactions, during the current or prior calendar year. Official source
• New Jersey charges a single statewide Sales Tax of 6.625% on most tangible personal property, specified digital products and certain services; there is no general local sales tax, though reduced rates apply in Urban Enterprise Zones and Salem County and Atlantic City has its own structure.
