Pennsylvania and federal rules for small business websites

Having a website does not change the rules, but these apply to many Freeburg businesses:

• Local business tax receipts in Pennsylvania can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Snyder County and Freeburg. 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
• 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
