Virginia rules for a business with a website

  • Business entities in Virginia are formed with the State Corporation Commission: the articles of organization or incorporation are delivered to the Commission for filing. Virginia State Corporation Commission, Clerk’s Office
  • A business that trades under a name other than its legal name must file a certificate of assumed or fictitious name with the clerk of the State Corporation Commission. Va. Code Section 59.1-69
  • 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. 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 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.
