Before you publish: West Virginia and federal rules
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these apply to many Belington businesses:
- A business that uses a name other than the one it was formed under registers a trade name (DBA) with the West Virginia Secretary of State, online through the One Stop Business Portal or on paper. A sole proprietorship or general partnership checks name availability with the State Tax Department first. Official source
- West Virginia’s state sales and use tax rate is 6%, and a municipality may add up to 1% more. West Virginia Tax Division
