Pennsylvania rules to know before your website goes live
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Pennsylvania rules as any other.
- Municipal requirements are separate: check with the local municipality about taxes, zoning requirements, local licenses and permits. In Ursina, that means asking Somerset County and the Borough of Ursina. Official source
- A trade name has to be your legal name or a fictitious name registered with Pennsylvania. Fictitious Names Act of 1982, 54 Pa.C.S. §§ 301 et seq. (registration under § 311)
- 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
