Rules that apply to a Macclesfield business website

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)
  • 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.

Can I tell customers in Walstonburg that I serve their town?

Yes. Send the list of towns you serve by email (Saratoga, Walstonburg, Fountain or any others) and the website gets a service area page with all of them.

Is a website worth it for a business in a town of 408 people?

Yes, because the competition is county-wide: Edgecombe County counts 2,933 nonemployer businesses and 702 with employees (2023). Being findable outside Macclesfield is the point of the website.
