Running a website from Dickens: the Texas rules
A few rules apply to any Dickens business that sells or advertises online:
- 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
- Texas charges a 6.25% state sales and use tax, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
- Dickens County and the City of Dickens may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
