White County taxpayers paid $41,488 in Countywide Sales Tax in August, according to Illinois tax records.

This figure marks a noticeable increase from the previous month, where Countywide Sales Tax collection stood at $41,401.

Over the past 12 months, White County's residents have collectively paid a total of $472,184 in Countywide Sales Tax.

The Countywide Sales Tax, a crucial revenue stream, is primarily allocated for county governments use.

Despite fluctuations in tax collection, Illinois continues to be one of the highest-taxed states in the U.S. According to a Wallet Hub study from March 2023, the state ranked as having the highest tax burden, approximately 39.83% above the national average.

Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker is accused of adding more than $5.2 billion in new or higher taxes since coming into power in early 2019. As a business owner, he has a fortune of more than $3 billion, largely based on his family's wealth and connections.
