The cost of grocery shopping in Illinois will soon increase when the suspension of a 1% tax on groceries ends July 1
The yearlong suspension of the state's 1% tax on groceries ends July 1.
The Illinois Department of Revenue estimates consumers saved about $185 million between July 2022 and March 2023. The full effect of the tax break won't be known until September, when June's tax receipts are finalized, agency officials said."Illinoisans have seen little to no relief at the grocery store, and food costs remain very high due to inflation," said state Sen. Don DeWitte, a St. Charles Republican.
Grocers still are required to report sales to the state, then the state sends 1% of those sales to the towns and counties to make them whole. In 2022, Naperville collected $4.54 million from grocery taxes or reimbursements, a 4% increase from the year prior, which Mayer said presumably was due to inflation.
