J.B. Pritzker and state lawmakers doubled it and built in automatic increases tied to inflation, with the next one coming July 1<\/a>. The state\u2019s gas taxes consists of multiple layers<\/a>: the state motor fuel excise tax, a prepaid sales tax and fees. That\u2019s without the federal tax and local taxes added by municipalities: motorists in Cook County<\/a> pay an added motor fuel tax and sales tax. Illinois is one of the few states<\/a> 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. >>>> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
