What North Carolina asks of a business with a website

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same North Carolina rules as any other.

• 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)
• Check with both Wake County and the Town of Zebulon about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; North Carolina’s is 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 The old 200-transaction test was REPEALED (2024).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
• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
