Before you publish: Arkansas and federal rules

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

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• Arkansas’s state sales and use tax rate is 6.5%, and cities and counties add local rates on top of it. Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration
