New taxes on certain digital services and changes to corporate net operating loss and pass-through entity tax rules
The Illinois fiscal year (FY) 2027 budget (S.B. 3019), as passed by the General Assembly and presented to the governor for signature, includes a collection of both indirect and direct tax measures:
- Introduction of tax on targeted advertising services, social media platform fee, and tax on certain digital asset transactions
- Expansion of scope of activities subject to the sports wagering tax
- Imposition of responsibility to collect certain accommodation taxes on hotel marketplace facilitators
- Changes to current limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryovers
- New election requirement in the computation of pass-through entity tax
FY 2027 begins July 1, 2026, and the governor is expected to act prior to that date, including any line-item vetoes he wishes to make. He has generally spoken favorably of the measures.
