Running a website from Junction: the Illinois rules

A few rules apply to any Junction 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 Junction, that means asking Gallatin County and the Village of Junction. Official source
• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
• 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

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
