I have started a business from home, that mostly gets business from my website. In this circumstance is it necessary to obtain a Home Business License, and get a sales tax number?

    If you’re in the US, call your county office for business licenses
    (here it’s the county clerk’s office).

    Some places will require you to have a home business zoning waiver in addition to a biz license.

    Same for sales tax. Call the Board of Equalization or whoever handles sales tax collection and ask them.
