Minnesota and federal rules for small business websites

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

• 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
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Minnesota sales tax once they reach the state threshold: 200 or more retail sales from outside Minnesota to destinations in Minnesota in the prior 12-month period, or retail sales totaling more than $100,000 in the prior 12-month period. Minnesota still keeps the 200-sale test. Minn. Stat. 297A.66, subd. 1(c)
