The legal basics for Hardinsburg businesses online
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Kentucky 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
- Kentucky sales and use tax is 6% of gross receipts, and there are no local sales and use taxes anywhere in the state. Kentucky Department of Revenue
- Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Kentucky’s is 200 or more sales into Kentucky, or $100,000 or more in gross receipts from sales into Kentucky. Kentucky still keeps the 200-transaction test. KRS 139.340(2)(g)
