Before you publish: Wisconsin and federal rules

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• Most businesses that hold personal information about Wisconsin residents must notify the affected people after an unauthorized acquisition of that data, within a reasonable time and never more than 45 days after learning of it. Wis. Stat. Section 134.98
• 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

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
