What Virginia asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• 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
• Local business tax receipts in Virginia can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Scott County and Nickelsville. Va. Code Section 58.1-3703 (BPOL)
• A business that owns or licenses computerized data containing personal information must notify the Office of the Attorney General and every affected Virginia resident, without unreasonable delay, once it believes unencrypted personal information was accessed and is likely to cause identity theft or fraud. Va. Code Section 18.2-186.6
