Illinois will set the sun set on the grocery tax on January 1, but another suburb of Chicago will implement one to replace it.
During the meeting of the Board of Directors on Monday, Carol Stream officials agreed to a 1 % new grocery tax, which will enter into force on January 1, the same date on which the grocery tax in the state will end.
The grocery tax in the state was canceled when the legislators approved their financial budget 2025 last spring, but the so -called “home base” societies gave the ability to implement it as a way to prevent the loss of revenues that it generated.
These grocery tax revenues have entered local treasures, and many societies aim to maintain the flow of revenues in place by implementing their own taxes.
Many other major communities across the state have agreed to grocery taxes by 1 %, including Biuria and usual, according to the Biuria magazine.
Palaatine and Buffalo Grouve are among the Chicago suburbs that have already agreed to grocery taxes, according to the Daily Herald newspaper, as did Shomburg.
Champaigen followed a different approach, as it raised the total sales tax to help compensate for the loss of revenue, according to WTTW.
The city of Chicago has not carried out an alternative grocery tax, and it is not clear whether they would do so.
According to the municipal Illinois Association, there are a total of 224 community in the state in the state. These societies, which have more than 25,000 population or who have agreed to the domestic base referendums, have a broader power to impose new taxes from non -home societies, according to the league.
According to Daily Herald newspaper reports, societies have until October 1 to agree to new grocery taxes to avoid interruption in the collection of revenues.
