California and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• 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)
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect California sales tax once they reach the state threshold: more than $500,000 in combined sales of tangible personal property for delivery in California in the preceding or current calendar year (no transaction-count test). Revenue and Taxation Code section 6203
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. 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, Stanislaus County and Newman. Official source
