Delaware and federal rules for small business websites
Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Odessa businesses:
- Delaware charges no sales tax. Instead it levies a gross receipts tax on the seller’s total revenue, at rates that vary by business activity, so the customer sees no tax line but the business owes tax on what it collects. Delaware Division of Revenue
- An operator of a commercial website, online service or mobile app that collects personally identifiable information from Delaware users must make its privacy policy conspicuously available on the site. There is no size threshold, so this reaches a small business website; an operator only violates the rule if it fails to post the policy within 30 days of being notified. 6 Del. C. Chapter 12C (Online and Personal Privacy Protection), 1205C
