In Illinois, the Non-Home Rule Sales Tax, levied by non-home rule local governments, targets the same general merchandise as the state sales tax. This tax can be set in 0.25% and up to 1% increments, and it's aimed at funding local services. Each non-home rule locality decides independently on whether to implement the tax and what rate to set, based on their specific needs.
According to a 2024 study from WalletHub, Illinois has the highest overall taxes in the U.S., with rates more than 50% higher than the national average.
