Pennsylvania rules to know before your website goes live

Selling or advertising online brings no special license, but these apply to most Clarks Green businesses:

• Local business tax receipts in Pennsylvania can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Lackawanna County and Clarks Green. Official source
• 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
• Any individual, sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership or other entity conducting business in Pennsylvania under a name other than its own real or proper name must register that fictitious name with the Pennsylvania Department of State (Form DSCB:54-311, $70). If an individual is listed on the registration, newspaper advertising is also required. Registration creates no exclusive right to the name, and failing to register can bar the business from enforcing contracts in Pennsylvania courts (54 Pa.C.S. § 331). Fictitious Names Act of 1982, 54 Pa.C.S. §§ 301 et seq. (registration under § 311)
