Tax due based on vehicle age

Other than exceptions and motorcycles or ATVs, the local government private party vehicle use tax due is based on

the age of the vehicle. This is the standard method for determining tax and applies to most vehicles. Your municipal tax

amount must be entered on Form RUT-50, Step 6, Line 2. Your county tax amount must be entered on Form RUT-50,

Step 6, Line 3. If your purchase qualifies as an exception or as a motorcycle or ATV, see Pages 2 and 3 of this guide for

the applicable tax due. Applicable tax locations are based on the address provided on your Illinois title or registration

application. If this address is within a municipality and county listed below, you must pay the tax for both locations.
