What North Carolina asks of a business with a website

A few rules apply to any Whitakers business that sells or advertises online:

• Nash County and the Town of Whitakers may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
• 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)
• 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 The old 200-transaction test was REPEALED (2024).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.
