Ohio rules to know before your website goes live

These are some of the Ohio and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• Ohio’s state sales tax rate is 5.75%. Counties and regional transit authorities may each levy sales tax in increments of 0.05% up to 1.5%, and the combined state, county and transit rate cannot exceed 8.75%. Ohio Department of Taxation
