North Carolina rules to know before your website goes live

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

  • Caldwell County and the Town of Gamewell may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
  • 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 The old 200-transaction test was REPEALED (2024).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
  • Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
  • 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)

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
