The legal basics for Hillsboro businesses online
Selling or advertising online brings no special license, but a few apply to many Hillsboro businesses:
- A contact form collects personal information, and Maryland has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Md. Code, Commercial Law §14-3504 (Maryland Personal Information Protection Act)
- Maryland’s sales and use tax rate is 6% (6 cents on each dollar). There are no local sales taxes in Maryland. Comptroller of Maryland
