Before you publish: Arizona and federal rules
These are some of the Arizona and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:
- 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
- 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
- A contact form collects personal information, and Arizona has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. A.R.S. 18-552 (Notification of security system breaches)
General information, not legal advice: confirm the details with the agency that handles each item.
