Before you publish: Wisconsin and federal rules

A few rules apply to any Twin Lakes business that sells or advertises online:

• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
• If you send marketing email from your new business address, the CAN-SPAM rules (16 CFR Part 316) apply, including an easy way for people to opt out. 16 CFR Part 316

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your village hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
