Before you publish: Arizona and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• Arizona taxes retail sales through the transaction privilege tax: 5% under A.R.S. 42-5010 plus a 0.6% increment under A.R.S. 42-5010.01, for a 5.6% state rate, and counties and cities add their own rates. Arizona Department of Revenue
