Paperwork and rules for North Carolina businesses online

These are some of the North Carolina and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect North Carolina sales tax once they reach the state threshold: Gross sales in excess of $100,000 sourced to North Carolina in the previous or current calendar year, including marketplace-facilitated sales. The old 200-transaction test was REPEALED (2024). Effective July 2, 2026, a seller that crosses only the dollar threshold becomes engaged in business on the first day of the first calendar month beginning at least 60 days after it is exceeded. Official source
• The general State sales and use tax rate is 4.75%, and counties add local and transit rates on top of it. North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR)
• North Carolina has no statewide general business license; some activities need a State Privilege License, and cities and counties may require their own licenses or permits, so check with the city and the county. In Eden, that means asking Rockingham County and the City of Eden. Official source
