Does your unit make taxable sales of tangible personal property to external parties (including students, faculty, and staff)? If so, please review the important updates below:
- The Sales Tax Reporting Form has been updated to reflect recent changes in sales tax rates, including the elimination of the Illinois state-level 1.00% grocery sales tax (effective 1/1/26).
- While the Illinois state grocery tax has been eliminated, local municipalities and counties may still impose a grocery tax by ordinance.
- In addition to the tax rate changes, UAFR has made several user-friendly enhancements to this form to make it easier to complete.
- Due to these updates, it is essential that units download and use the most current version of this form, which is located on the UAFR Forms webpage under the Sales and Use Tax Collection heading.
- For more information on collecting, reporting, and remitting sales taxes, refer to Collect and Report Sales and Use Tax and Section 18.6 – Sales and Use Tax within the Business and Finance Policies and Procedures.
