Before you publish: North Carolina and federal rules
These are some of the North Carolina and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:
- 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 Belwood, that means asking Cleveland County and the Town of Belwood. Official source
- If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316
