Running a website from Witt: the Illinois rules

Some homework before launch:

• 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
• Montgomery County and the City of Witt may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. 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

General information, not legal advice: confirm the details with the agency that handles each item.
