New automobile tax in Cook County

[kevincwelch]

I'm not sure why I am having trouble finding up to date information about the sales tax rate, but does anyone know how much a new vehicle is taxed at its sale in Cook County?

You will need to pay three taxes in Cook County: (i) vehicle sales tax for your area (look up here), (ii) Cook County Use Tax of 1% (Ordinance here), and (iii) $15.00 New Motor Vehicle Tax (Ordinance here).

These three items will all be listed on your MVPA.

Time to move out of Cook County! ! !

A "use" tax?? ? ?

We get taxed when buying it and then taxed when using it? Amazing.....

Definitely gotta consider this....

Interestingly enough, I think we would be forced to pay the use tax even if we didn't plan on using the car.

I've heard of the Use Tax, but I had also heard that it was loosely enforced. I guess not. Shameful that it exists. What's another grand?

I assume this is enforced based on your own MVPA (or others) or word directly from Tesla?

My MVPA lists the 1% Use Tax as "Cook County Additional Tax," but yes, unfortunately, it is there.

I suppose it could be worse. In my original calculations, I was using a tax rate of 9.25%. This is what sales tax we have locally. So, 7.25% + 1% is a little nicer. I also found this nice little tax app on the web.

Yes, that is the same link as in my original post above...

I am also in the same boat: 7.25% + 1.00%.
