What is Restaurant Sales Tax in Chicago, Illinois?

Question

I eat out everyday and just heard the news that we are supposed to be getting taxed again! I may have to eat out only 4-5 times a week!

Answer 1

In today's Sun-Times,  I  noticed a .25% for loop restaurants over the 10.25% county sales tax.

Answer 2

Sadly 10.25% as of July 1st.

Answer 3

I think it's 10.5% but I think ther is a "take out tax" also. I can't keep up with the filthy crooks in this state and their never ending dip into our pockets...

Answer 4

The restaurant sales tax in Chicago is 1.25%. The new sales tax increase only effects General Merchandise (incl. motor fuel& restaurant purchases)
