2. Can you open sole proprietorship under 18?
3. Whats the taxation percentage for this kind of business
A: First of all, when you say "home based business," I assume you mean you are going to operate you business from your home. If that's the case, if you live in a condo development or other planned unit development, you may have to clear it with the HOA. Some HOA rules allow you to operate a small business at home as long as you do not create a lot of traffic and parking issues due to your business. You will probably need a City License for the business, and you'll need to set up a tax account for paying state sales tax. I can't tell you what the tax rate is, but you can look that up yourself on the internet. As to whether or not a minor can start a business, it depends on the state law. You should contact the County you are in and get the forms to form a sole proprietorship. They should know if a minor can do so. Good Luck.
