Paperwork and rules for North Carolina businesses online

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)
• 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 Patterson Springs, that means asking Cleveland County and the Town of Patterson Springs. Official source
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
