Delaware rules to know before your website goes live

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

• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
• Delaware charges no sales tax. Instead it levies a gross receipts tax on the seller’s total revenue, at rates that vary by business activity, so the customer sees no tax line but the business owes tax on what it collects. Delaware Division of Revenue
