Georgia and federal rules for small business websites

These are some of the Georgia and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• 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
• A Georgia trade name is not a state filing: it is registered with the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the business is located, and the registration must be published in the local legal newspaper once a week for two consecutive weeks. O.C.G.A. 10-1-490
