Virginia and federal rules for small business websites

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

• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
• 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
• Southampton County and the Town of Capron may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Va. Code Section 58.1-3703 (BPOL)

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