The legal basics for Barstow businesses online

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

• 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
• Local business tax receipts in California can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, San Bernardino County and Barstow. Official source
• 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
• California’s statewide sales and use tax rate is 7.25%, and most areas add district taxes of roughly 0.10% to 2.00% on top of it. California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA)
