Running a website from Ivor: the Virginia rules

Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Ivor businesses:

• 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
• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• 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 Ivor, that means asking Southampton County and the Town of Ivor. Va. Code Section 58.1-3703 (BPOL)
