What Virginia asks of a business with a website

Having a website does not change the rules, but these apply to most Boykins businesses:

• Southampton County and the Town of Boykins may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Va. Code Section 58.1-3703 (BPOL)
• Virginia’s state retail sales tax rate is 4.3%. A 1% local tax applies statewide, so the general rate is 5.3% almost everywhere, and some regions add a further 0.7% or more. Virginia Department of Taxation
• A contact form collects personal information, and Virginia has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Va. Code Section 18.2-186.6

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