What Illinois asks of a business with a website

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

• 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
• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• 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 Taylorville, that means asking Christian County and the City of Taylorville. Official source
• A trade name must match your legal name or an assumed business name registered with Illinois. Assumed Business Name Act, 805 ILCS 405

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