Running a website from Bowmanstown: the Pennsylvania rules

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

• 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
• The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6 percent. Only two local add-ons exist: 1 percent in Allegheny County and 2 percent in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
• Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Bowmanstown, that means asking Carbon County and the Borough of Bowmanstown. Official source
