Before you publish: Georgia and federal rules

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

• Georgia’s state sales and use tax rate is 4%, and every county adds local taxes, so the combined rate is typically 7% to 9%. Georgia Department of Revenue
• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Georgia calls that a trade name (DBA), and it has to be registered first. O.C.G.A. 10-1-490
