Paperwork and rules for South Carolina businesses online

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

• South Carolina’s statewide sales and use tax rate is 6%, and a county may add up to 1% in local sales tax if its voters approve it. South Carolina Department of Revenue
• Cities and counties may impose a business license tax by ordinance, so check both the city and the county where the business operates; the standard license year runs from May 1 to April 30. In Snelling, that means asking Barnwell County and the Town of Snelling. S.C. Code Ann. Sections 6-1-315 and 6-1-400 et seq. (Business License Tax Standardization Act)
• A contact form collects personal information, and South Carolina has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. S.C. Code Ann. Section 39-1-90

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your town hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
