Rules that apply to a Millheim business website

Some homework before launch:

• 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
• 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
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Millheim, that means asking Centre County and the Borough of Millheim. Official source
