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
• 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)
• Check with both Cumberland County and the Village of Toledo about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
