Illinois bill targets overtaxing of medically-required vehicle equipment – Center Square

According to Illinois statute, consumers should pay a 1 percent tax on medically-required equipment and the customary 6.25 percent or more on the rest of the vehicle. State Sen. Don DeWitte said the law is applied when people add the equipment after they receive their vehicle, but they get charged 6.25 percent or more on the equipment when it comes with the car from the factory.
