Legal & Tax
Legal duties, tax and policies for selling online.
Legal & Tax covers the paperwork side of selling online: the registrations, permits and tax duties that come with running a store, and the policies customers expect to see. It is written for first-time sellers who want to get the official side right before their first order, and for side businesses that are starting to grow.
The guide here untangles what people mean by a business license, from local licenses and state seller's permits to trade names and product-specific rules, explains where hobby sales end and a business begins, and closes with a short checklist you can work through in a single afternoon.
