Pennsylvania and federal rules for small business websites

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Pennsylvania rules as any other.

  • The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
  • Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Malvern, that means asking Chester County and the Borough of Malvern. Official source
  • If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
  • The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered fictitious name. Fictitious Names Act of 1982, 54 Pa.C.S. §§ 301 et seq. (registration under § 311)

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Pennsylvania agencies, Chester County, the borough of Malvern or an attorney.
