FY-2027 Estimate for Personal Property Replacement Taxes (PPRT)

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 each fiscal year.

The Fiscal Year 2027 PPRT allocations are estimated at $2.366 billion. This is an increase of $425.1 million (+21.9%) from Fiscal Year 2026 PPRT allocations that totaled $1.941 billion.

The following factors are affecting the FY 2027 estimate:

  • A review of past business tax payments will divert a larger share of tax payments made from pass-through entities during FY 2027 toward PPRT and away from corporate and individual income taxes. This change, based on recent tax receipts of the past few years, should minimize diversions from the PPRT fund and avoid the large fluctuations of recent years.
  • In FY 2027, the true up process will divert $154.93 million out of the PPRT fund, which is $450.84 million less than the FY 2026 diversion of $605.77 million.
  • In FY 2027, $84.3 million will be transferred from the PPRT fund to the refund fund.  
  • Statutory changes to the Illinois Income Tax Act will result in a net increase in PPRT payments made by C corporations. However, potential revenue losses tied to federal tax changes may offset gains generated by state-level tax changes.
  • An improved domestic corporate profits outlook is having a positive impact on the underlying forecast.
