Before you publish: Virginia and federal rules

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Giles County and the Town of Narrows may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Va. Code Section 58.1-3703 (BPOL)
• The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) exists, but its thresholds are high: A business that does business in Virginia or targets Virginia residents and, during a calendar year, controls or processes the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or of at least 25,000 consumers while deriving over 50% of gross revenue from selling personal data. A small business with an ordinary website is normally outside the law; nonprofits and higher education are exempt entirely. Va. Code Section 59.1-575 et seq.
• Virginia’s state retail sales tax rate is 4.3%. A 1% local tax applies statewide, so the general rate is 5.3% almost everywhere, and some regions add a further 0.7% or more. Virginia Department of Taxation
