What you need to know about Illinois’ candy tax – Illinois Policy

Illinois is one of ten states that taxes most candy items at the full sales tax rate of 6.25 percent, so stocking up on the sweet stuff could cost you. But anything made with flour, Kit Kats, Twix and Snickers, are considered groceries. Grocery shoppers pay the 1 percent rate instead of the 6.25 percent sales tax.
