Rules that apply to a Parsons business website

A few rules apply to any Parsons business that sells or advertises online:

• 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 Parsons, that means asking Decatur County and the City of Parsons. 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
• 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

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