Fiscal Year 2024 Estimate for Replacement Taxes
In accordance with Illinois statute (50 ILCS 420/4.1), the Illinois Department of Revenue is required to provide an estimated entitlement* of the amount of Personal Property Replacement Taxes ("PPRT")** for Fiscal Year 2024.
The Fiscal Year 2024 PPRT allocations are estimated at $3.235 billion. This is a decrease of 28.8% from Fiscal Year 2023 PPRT allocations that totaled $4.541 billion.
PPRT allocations are estimated to be lower for several reasons:
- The annual reconciliation of tax payments and returns will result in a Fiscal Year 2024 transfer of approximately $818.396 million from replacement tax to income tax. This reconciliation is required because tax receipts are disbursed at time of receipt based on a historical estimate and the actual disbursement amounts required by statute are not known until the final returns are received much later. These adjustments will be made in five equal installments effecting the disbursements in October 2023, January 2024, April 2024, May 2024 and July 2024. For more information, see the Personal Property Replacement Tax Allocation Statement.
- Also, a decrease in collections is expected as the $100,000 net operating loss limitation expires. This expiration will result in corporate taxpayers applying larger-than-normal losses against positive income, which will reduce estimated tax collections starting in calendar year 2024 (Public Act 102-0016 (35 ILCS 5/207) (d)).
- Lastly, there will be a transfer from the Income Tax Refund Fund to the Personal Property Tax Fund in September 2023 of approximately $102.607 million. This statutory transfer is because the estimated deposits into the Income Tax Refund Fund exceeded the money paid out for PPRT refunds in FY 2023. While this transfer is positive to the Personal Property Tax Fund, it is less than the $359 million transferred to the Fund in Fiscal Year 2023.
