Illinois Statutes Chapter 65. Municipalities § 5/8-11-11. Motor vehicle leasing tax

§ 8-11-11. In addition to any other taxes authorized by law, the corporate authorities of a municipality may impose a tax upon the privilege of leasing motor vehicles within the municipality to a lessee on a daily or weekly basis in an amount not to exceed $2.75 per vehicle per rental period specified in the lease agreement. The tax may be stated separately in such lease agreement, invoice or bill.

The ordinance or resolution imposing any such tax shall provide for the means of its administration, collection and enforcement by the municipality.

As used in this Section, “municipality” means a city, village or incorporated town, including an incorporated town which has superseded a civil township, and “motor vehicle” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1-146 of The Illinois Vehicle Code.  1
