Running a website from Turbeville: the South Carolina rules

These are some of the South Carolina and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• 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 Turbeville, that means asking Clarendon County and the Town of Turbeville. S.C. Code Ann. Sections 6-1-315 and 6-1-400 et seq. (Business License Tax Standardization Act)
• 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
• 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

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