Sales Tax Rate Change Summary, Effective January 1, 2024

The same items of general merchandise reported on Line 4a of Forms ST‑1 and ST‑2 that are subject to state sales tax are also subject to the locally imposed sales tax.

Locally imposed sales tax does not apply to:

• sales of qualifying food, drugs, and medical appliances¹ that are reported on Line 5a of Forms ST‑ 1 and ST-2; or
• items that must be titled or registered by an agency of Illinois state government and reported on dealer-filed transaction returns.

Note: Some jurisdictions may impose and administer taxes not collected by the Illinois Department of Revenue. Contact your municipal or county clerk’s office for more information.

If a sale was subject to a sales tax rate different from the current sales tax rate, report this sale on Line 8a of Forms ST-1 and ST-2.²

Note: Line 8a is used only to report sales subject to a different sales tax rate. No other use of Line 8a is permitted.
