Virginia rules to know before your website goes live

Having a website does not change the rules, but these apply to most Painter 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
• 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 Painter, that means asking Accomack County and the Town of Painter. Va. Code Section 58.1-3703 (BPOL)
• The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) rarely reaches a local business: A business that does business in Virginia or targets Virginia residents and, during a calendar year, controls or processes the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or of at least 25,000 consumers while deriving over 50% of gross revenue from selling personal data. A small business with an ordinary website is normally outside the law; nonprofits and higher education are exempt entirely. Va. Code Section 59.1-575 et seq.

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Virginia agencies, Accomack County, the town of Painter or an attorney.
