Changes

The jurisdictions that changed on this North Carolina chart are included with a plan.

Each total is printed on the North Carolina current-rates page and its CSV export. Beside it are the 4.75% state rate that page prints and the county tax, transit tax, and additional 1% rates Gen. 562 prints for that county. A county whose parts do not add up to its total shows no rate.

The current-rates page says an asterisk means the rate includes the 0.50% transit tax.

The rate-database open file has no header row, so its columns were not used to fill rates. Rows come from the current-rates table and its CSV export, which agree.
