Wisconsin and federal rules for small business websites

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
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Wisconsin sales tax once they reach the state threshold: More than $100,000 in gross sales into Wisconsin in the previous or current calendar year; the 200-transaction test was eliminated by 2021 Wis. Act 1. 2021 Wisconsin Act 1
