J.B. Pritzker and state lawmakers doubled it and built in automatic increases tied to inflation, with the next one coming July 1. The state’s gas taxes consists of multiple layers: the state motor fuel excise tax, a prepaid sales tax and fees. That’s without the federal tax and local taxes added by municipalities: motorists in Cook County pay an added motor fuel tax and sales tax. Illinois is one of the few states to charge a sales tax on gasoline, adding it after the motor fuel tax is applied. That means Illinois drivers get taxed on the taxes they pay for gas. >>>>
