Minnesota rules to know before your website goes live

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Minnesota rules as any other.

• Doing business under a name that is not your legal name? Minnesota calls that an assumed name (certificate of assumed name), and it has to be registered first. Minn. Stat. 333.01
• 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

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
