Before you publish: North Carolina and federal rules
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same North Carolina rules as any other.
- Montgomery County and the Town of Mount Gilead may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
- 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)
