Illinois rules to know before your website goes live
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
- 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 Biggsville, that means asking Henderson County and the Village of Biggsville. Official source
- 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)
