Before you publish: Illinois and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• Local business tax receipts in Illinois can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, McDonough County and Bushnell. Official source
• Accessibility is a federal matter: the Justice Department’s ADA guidance covers the websites of businesses open to the public. ADA.gov guidance
• 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

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
