11/8/2021 - Firearm and Firearm Ammunition Tax must be collected beginning November 15, 2021

On November 4, 2021, the Cook County Board of Commissioners amended the Firearm and Firearm Ammunition Tax Ordinance to address the uniformity concerns expressed by the Illinois Supreme Court in the Guns Save Life ruling. The amendment was effective immediately. To allow time for retailers to comply with the collection requirement, firearm retailers and firearm ammunition retailers must begin collecting the taxes on November 15, 2021. Failure to collect and remit the taxes may subject retailers to interest and penalties. If you have any questions, please submit a General Inquiry service request through your Online Portal Profile or send an email to revenuecompliance@cookcountyil.gov.
