Running a website from St. Bonifacius: the Minnesota 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 Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: Businesses doing business in Minnesota or targeting Minnesota residents that, in a calendar year, control or process personal data of 100,000 or more consumers (excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction), or derive over 25% of gross revenue from selling personal data while controlling or processing data of 25,000 or more consumers. IMPORTANT: Minnesota also excludes outright any small business as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration (13 CFR part 121) — but a small business is still bound by section 325M.17, which forbids selling a consumer’s sensitive data without prior consent. So a typical small business is outside the act, except that one rule. Minn. Stat. 325M.10 to 325M.21 (Laws 2024, chapter 121, article 5)
