Before you publish: Minnesota and federal rules

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

• Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue
• The name on your website and your sign has to be either your legal name or a registered assumed name (certificate of assumed name). Minn. Stat. 333.01

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
