Paperwork and rules for Virginia businesses online

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

• Counties, cities and towns may levy a business, professional and occupational license (BPOL) tax; the license fee itself is capped at $100 in localities over 50,000 people, $50 between 25,000 and 50,000, and $30 below 25,000. In Burkeville, that means asking Nottoway County and the Town of Burkeville. 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 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

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