Pennsylvania rules to know before your website goes live
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to many Fredonia businesses:
- 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
- If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
- Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Fredonia, that means asking Mercer County and the Borough of Fredonia. Official source
Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
