Running a website from Green River: the Wyoming rules

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

• Wyoming charges a mandatory statewide 4% sales and use tax, and counties may add voter-approved local pennies, so the total rate runs roughly from 4% to 8%. Wyoming Department of Revenue, Excise Tax Division
• 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.
