Sales and Use Tax Registration
This lesson is a guide published by NCDOR.
Read the guideWhat you'll get
The North Carolina Department of Revenue's page for the free sales and use tax certificate, with the online and mail applications and a warning against paid third-party sites that sell the same thing. Most services aren't taxed in North Carolina, but repair, maintenance and installation work is, so a business that fixes, services or installs things must register before its first such job.
