The legal basics for Sweet Home businesses online

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Oregon law requires an entity to notify any Oregon consumer whose personal information was subject to a security breach within 45 days of discovering it, and to report the breach with a sample notice to the Oregon Department of Justice within 45 days when more than 250 Oregon consumers are affected. Oregon Consumer Information Protection Act (OCIPA), ORS 646A.600 to 646A.628
• Oregon has no general sales or use/transaction tax, so there is nothing to collect on ordinary online sales. The only close relatives are the vehicle use tax and vehicle privilege tax on new vehicles. Oregon Department of Revenue
• Anyone doing business in Oregon under a name other than their real and true name must register the assumed business name as a public record with the Secretary of State Corporation Division ($50; renewed every two years). Corporations and LLCs need one only if they do business under a name other than their registered entity name. ABNs are filed by county, so identical names may exist in different counties, and registration gives no exclusive right to the name. ORS Chapter 648 (Assumed Business Names); OAR 160.010
