Before you publish: Tennessee and federal rules

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

• 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
• The Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: A business that does business in Tennessee or targets Tennessee residents, earns more than $25 million in annual revenue, and either controls or processes the personal information of at least 25,000 Tennessee consumers while deriving 50% of gross annual revenue from selling that information, or processes the personal information of at least 175,000 Tennessee consumers in a calendar year. A small business with a website is almost always outside the law because of the $25 million revenue test. Tenn. Code Ann. Section 47-18-3201 et seq. (2023 Public Chapter 408)
• 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 Petersburg, that means asking Lincoln County and the Town of Petersburg. Official source
