The legal basics for Sharpsburg businesses online

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

  • An entity that maintains, stores or manages computerized data including personal information must notify any Pennsylvania resident whose unencrypted and unredacted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, accessed and acquired by an unauthorized person. Breaches affecting more than 500 Pennsylvania residents must also be reported to the Attorney General at the same time; more than 500 people notified at once also triggers notice to the nationwide consumer reporting agencies. Where a Social Security, driver’s license, state ID or bank account number was exposed, twelve months of credit reporting and monitoring must be offered. Breach of Personal Information Notification Act, 73 P.S. §§ 2301 to 2329 (Act 94 of 2005, amended by Act 151 of 2022 and Act 33 of 2024)
  • Check with both Allegheny County and the Borough of Sharpsburg about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
  • Out-of-state sellers have to collect Pennsylvania sales tax once they reach the state threshold: At least $100,000 in annual Pennsylvania gross sales, measured by calendar year; there is no transaction-count test. Sales and Use Tax Bulletin 2019-01; Act 13 of 2019
  • Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 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

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
