North Carolina rules to know before your website goes live
Some homework before launch:
- A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
- 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 Minnesott Beach, that means asking Pamlico County and the Town of Minnesott Beach. Official source
