Rules that apply to an Old Bennington business website

Some homework before launch:

• Vermont’s sales and use tax rate is 6%, and some towns add a 1% local option tax on top of it. Vermont Department of Taxes
• A contact form collects personal information, and Vermont has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. 9 V.S.A. Section 2435 (Vermont Security Breach Notice Act)

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your village hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
