Form E-536, Schedule of County Sales and Use Taxes (Required for Online Filing)
A retailer or facilitator, as applicable, that is required to collect county tax should do so based on the sourcing provisions provided under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-164.4B.
The following general principles apply in determining where to source the sale of most products for the retailer's purpose and do not alter the application of the tax imposed under G.S. 105-164.6, for use tax. These principles should be used to determine the applicable local and transit rates of tax due on a retail sale. Except as otherwise provided, a service is sourced where the purchaser can potentially first make use of the service. These principles apply regardless of the nature of the product, except as otherwise provided:
(a) When a purchaser receives a product at a business location of the seller, the sale is sourced to that business location.
(b) When a purchaser or purchaser's donee receives a product at a location specified by the purchaser and the location is not a business location of the seller, the sale is sourced to the location where the purchaser or the purchaser's donee receives the product.
(c) When (a) and (b) of this section do not apply, the sale is sourced to the location indicated by an address for the purchaser that is available from the business records of the seller that are maintained in the ordinary course of the seller's business when use of this address does not constitute bad faith.
(d) When (a), (b), and (c) of this section do not apply, the sale is sourced to the location indicated by an address for the purchaser obtained during the consummation of the sale, including the address of a purchaser's payment instrument, if no other address is available, when use of this address does not constitute bad faith.
(e) When (a), (b), (c), and (d) of this section do not apply, including the circumstance in which the seller is without sufficient information to apply the rules, the location will be determined based on the following:
A florist wire sale is sourced to the business location of the florist that takes an order for the sale.
Periodic rental payments are leased in accordance with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-164.4B(b).
Certain digital property is sourced to the county where the purchaser takes possession of the property or makes first use of the property, whichever comes first.
An admission charge to an entertainment activity is sourced to the location where admission to the entertainment activity may be gained by a person. When the location where admission may be gained is not known at the time of the receipt of the gross receipts for an admission charge, the sourcing principles in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-164.4B(a) apply.
The sale of a "service contract" at retail by the retailer or on behalf of a retailer by another person to a purchaser at a location in this State is the location where the sale of the "service contract" is sourced provided the purchaser can potentially first make use of the service at the location. If the purchaser of the "service contract" cannot potentially make first use at the location where the "service contract" is sold, the sale is sourced in accordance with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-164.4B(3), (4) or (5) based on the hierarchy and available address.
Prepaid meal plans are sourced to the location where the food or prepared food is available to be consumed by the person.
The rental of an accommodation is sourced to the location of the accommodation.
The gross receipts derived from the renewal of a service contract for prewritten software is generally sourced in accordance with the principles in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-164.4B(a). However, sourcing the renewal to an address where the purchaser received the underlying prewritten software does not constitute bad faith provided the retailer has not received information from the purchaser that indicates a change in the location of the underlying software.
If you are required to collect or remit county tax for a county that your business is not located in or for more than one county, you must complete Form E-536, Schedule of County Sales and Use Taxes.
The local sales and use tax rate in all counties is either 2% or 2.25%. As of October 1, 2020, the local rate of sales and use tax is 2.25% in the following counties: Alexander, Anson, Ashe, Birtie, Buncombe, Cabarrus, Catawba, Chatham, Cherokee, Clay, Cumberland, Davidson, Duplin, Durham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Gaston, Graham, Greene, Halifax, Harnett, Haywood, Hertford, Jackson, Jones, Lee, Lincoln, Madison, Martin, Montgomery, Moore, New Hanover, Onslow, Orange, Pasquotank, Pitt, Randolph, Robeson, Rockingham, Rowan, Rutherford, Sampson, Stanly, Surry, Swain, and Wilkes. The Department will notify taxpayers if any additional counties levy an additional 0.25% tax.
As of October 1, 2020, the additional 0.50% Transit County sales and use tax rate applied to the following counties: Durham, Mecklenburg, Orange, and Wake Counties. The Department will notify taxpayers if any additional counties levy the 0.50% Transit County tax.
Enter the amount of tax at the applicable rate(s) to be reported for each applicable county. The sum of the tax for all county entries should equal the corresponding rate of tax as shown on Lines 8, 9, 10, and 11 on your sales and use tax return. The 2% Food tax should be entered at the bottom of the page.
For additional information, review the Sales and Use Technical Bulletins.
If Form E-500 shows a balance of tax due for the current period, enter the amount you would like to pay for the current tax period in the field labeled "Current Tax Payment Amount." If you choose to pay less than the amount shown due on the return, the Department will mail you an assessment for the remaining tax due plus any applicable penalties and interest.
If Form E-500 shows a prepayment for the next period, enter the amount you would like to pay for the prepayment in the field labeled "Prepayment Amount." If your return shows an overpayment of tax for the current period, the overpayment amount has been deducted from the prepayment amount shown on the return to determine a net prepayment for the next period.
To make changes to Form E-500 or the reporting period dates, select BACK.
The completion of this worksheet does not replace the filing of Form E-500, Sales and Use Tax Return. A return must be filed by the due date or a delinquent notice for failure to file will be issued by the Department.
In order to accurately complete the worksheet, have your paper Form E-500 available. Enter the information from Line 15 - Total Tax, Line 18 - Less Prepayment for This Period, Line 20 - Less any Credit and Line 19 - Prepayment for Next Period from your Form E-500 onto the Dual Payment Worksheet.
The worksheet will populate "Total Current Tax Due" and "Payment Amount for Current Tax Due." The "Payment Amount for Current Tax Due" may be altered. If you choose to pay less than the amount shown due, the Department will mail you an assessment for the remaining tax due plus any applicable penalties and interest.
The worksheet will populate "Less Current Period Overpayment," "Net Amount for Prepayment for Net Period" and "Payment Amount for Prepayment." If there is an overpayment of tax for the current period, the overpayment amount will be deducted from the prepayment amount shown on the return to determine a net prepayment for the next period.
If you are a monthly with prepayment taxpayer making a payment for the current tax period as well as a prepayment for the next period, you must make both payments using the same payment method. You can submit both payments in one submission, but the payments will be completed as separate payment amounts and you will receive separate confirmation numbers.
What information do I need to make a credit/debit card payment?
Is there a fee?
There is a convenience fee for choosing to remit by credit/debit card. The fee is calculated
as $2.00 for every $100.00 increment of your tax payment.

$4.00 for payment amounts of $100.01 to $200.00

complete a return or payment application and furnish credit/debit card account
information. You will be provided a confirmation page that you should print
and save for your records that will contain a confirmation number. If you are
a monthly with prepayment taxpayer and you make a payment for both the current
tax period and a prepayment for the next period, you will be provided two
confirmation numbers, one for each payment.
What if I change my mind after I have completed the credit/debit card transaction?
If you make a payment by credit/debit card and later decide to reverse the transaction,
you may be subject to penalties, interest or other fees imposed by the Department
of Revenue for nonpayment or late payment of tax.
How will I know the Department has received my payment?
You will receive an email from the Department within two business days from submission
of your payment information. The email will contain the same confirmation number that
is displayed on the confirmation page that you print for your records. This email will
also contain a Document Locator Number. You should retain the email for your records and
you should provide these numbers if you contact the Department for assistance with your
payment.

banking day.
What if I make an overpayment of my tax liability using my credit/debit
card?

be mailed to you. The convenience fee will not be refunded.

information.

No.
How do I submit my payment?
You will be prompted through a series of screens that will require you to
complete a return or payment application and furnish bank account information.
You will be provided a confirmation page that you should print and save for your
records that will contain a confirmation number. If you are a monthly with
prepayment taxpayer and you make a payment for both the current tax period and a

Contact your financial institution if you need help locating your bank routing number or account number.
When will my payment be effective?
Your payment will be effective on the date you select it to be drafted from
your bank account. This draft date or settlement date must be a valid banking
date that does not include weekends or bank holidays. You will need to submit
your payment information one banking day prior to the due date in order for
the Department to receive the payment timely. Payments received beyond the due
date are subject to penalty and interest.
When completing the bank draft payment screen, you will be provided with the earliest possible settlement date. This date is figured on a 5:00 pm EST cut off. In other words, if you submit your bank draft payment after 5:00 pm EST, the earliest date your payment would settle would be two business days in the future.
How far in advance can I provide you with my payment information?
You can request that your payment information be "warehoused" for up to 60 days.
This means you can prepare your online payment early but have your bank account
drafted at a later date. The online payment will be received by the NC Department
of Revenue once your payment is drafted from your account.
What if I change my mind after I have completed the bank draft transaction?
If you make a payment by bank draft and later decide to reverse the transaction, you
will need to contact your bank to cancel the transaction. However, you may be subject
to penalties, interest or other fees imposed by the Department of Revenue for nonpayment
or late payment of tax.
What happens if my bank does not process the bank draft?
In the event the financial institution is unable to process the transaction,
you will be responsible for the tax payment and for the applicable penalties
and interest. If the financial institution returns the item, the Department
of Revenue will notify you of the returned item.
Will I be penalized if the item is returned?
If the item is returned for insufficient funds or unable to locate account,
you will be subject to a "Penalty for Bad Electronic Funds Transfer" equal
to 10% of the amount of the tax payment ranging from a minimum of $1.00 to
a maximum of $1,000.00.
