What is the sales tax rate in Illinois?

Asked 2 years ago
The sales tax rate in Illinois is a combination of state and local taxes, which can vary by location. As of October 2023, the state sales tax rate is set at 6.25 percent. However, local municipalities may impose additional taxes, which can significantly increase the total sales tax rate depending on where a transaction occurs. For example, in some areas, such as Chicago, the total sales tax rate can reach over 10 percent when local taxes are added. It is important for consumers and businesses to check the specific tax rate applicable to their area or the location of a sale. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding sales tax rates and jurisdictions, visiting the Illinois Department of Revenue's website is recommended.
