What Tennessee asks of a business with a website

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

• 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)
• Hamilton County and the City of Ridgeside may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
