Tennessee and federal rules for small business websites

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

• A business operating in a Tennessee county or incorporated municipality and grossing $100,000 or more must register for and pay business tax, which is administered with county and city business licenses; the city business tax applies where the city has enacted it. In Gilt Edge, that means asking Tipton County and the City of Gilt Edge. Official source
• Tennessee’s general state sales tax rate is 7%, and a local rate set by the county or city is added on top. Tennessee Department of Revenue
• 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

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
