Illinois rental taxes to set up correctly
Illinois charges an Automobile Renting Occupation and Use Tax of 5 percent on car rentals of one year or less. On top of that, counties, municipalities, some mass transportation districts and the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority may impose their own automobile renting taxes, which the Illinois Department of Revenue collects. The total you charge can therefore differ from one branch to the next.
In Car Rental Solutions, taxes are configured by location, with as many tax lines as a location needs, so every quote and agreement shows the correct state and local amounts.
