The legal basics for Newport businesses online

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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
• 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
