What Wisconsin asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• 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
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance

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