The legal basics for Zemple businesses online

Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Zemple businesses:

• 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
• 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

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