The legal basics for Faison businesses online

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)
• 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
• 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 Faison, that means asking Duplin County and the Town of Faison. Official source
