Illinois and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• Illinois has no statewide general business license; cities and counties impose their own taxes and may require zoning permits, so the city or county clerk is the place to check. In Volo, that means asking Lake County and the Village of Volo. Official source
• 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
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Illinois’ is $100,000 or more in cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property to Illinois purchasers in the 12-month lookback period, tested quarterly. The old 200-transaction test was removed on January 1, 2026. Public Act 104-0006 (Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act)
• Illinois taxes general merchandise at a 6.25% state Retailers’ Occupation Tax rate, with a preferential 1% rate on qualifying drugs and medical appliances; municipalities and counties add local rates. Illinois Department of Revenue
