Paperwork and rules for Oregon businesses online
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Oregon rules as any other.
- Oregon has no general sales or use/transaction tax, so there is nothing to collect on ordinary online sales. The only close relatives are the vehicle use tax and vehicle privilege tax on new vehicles. Oregon Department of Revenue
- Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
