Illinois and federal rules for small business websites
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 Belle Prairie City, that means asking Hamilton County and the Town of Belle Prairie City. Official source
- Out-of-state sellers have to collect Illinois sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $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)
