Illinois and federal rules for small business websites
Having a website does not change the rules, but a few apply to most Jewett businesses:
- Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
- 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 Jewett, that means asking Cumberland County and the Village of Jewett. Official source
- 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
Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
