Before you publish: Wisconsin and federal rules

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

• 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
• Wisconsin does not require a DBA filing. A trade name or trademark may be registered with the Department of Financial Institutions for public notice; the registration lasts ten years and does not by itself create ownership of the name. Official source
