Wisconsin rules to know before your website goes live

A few rules apply to any Pepin business that sells or advertises online:

• 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
• 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

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