Before you publish: Illinois and federal rules

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

• 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 Norwood, that means asking Peoria County and the Village of Norwood. Official source
• The name customers see has to be your legal name or an assumed business name registered with Illinois. Assumed Business Name Act, 805 ILCS 405
• 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
