North Dakota rules to know before your website goes live

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same North Dakota rules as any other.

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect North Dakota sales tax once they reach the state threshold: Taxable sales into North Dakota exceed $100,000 in the current or previous calendar year (small seller exception below that). The 200-transaction test was repealed in 2019. Official source
• North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner
