The legal basics for Frederica businesses online

These are some of the Delaware and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• 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
