The legal basics for Arena businesses online

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Wisconsin rules as any other.

• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
