Make Your Trade-In and Purchase at Palmen Automotive in Kenosha, WI Many people shopping for a new or used vehicle have an old car they want to get rid of. Often, car shoppers trade-in their old model as credit towards their new purchase. Currently, for Illinois residents, sales tax only applies to the difference between the trade-in value and the new vehicle price. more For example, if the trade-in value of your vehicle is $20,000 and your new vehicle purchase is $30,000, the $20,000 value of your trade-in vehicle is used as credit and the taxable amount is the $10,000 difference. However, that is about to change come Wednesday, January 1 st, 2020. Dodge "Power Dollars" Program: $10 Per Horsepower How Does the Illinois "Double Taxation" Law Work? For the new year, state and local tax will be applied to any trade-in vehicle valued above $10,000. To use the same example as above, if the trade-in value of your vehicle is $20,000 and your new vehicle purchase is $30,000, the NEW taxable amount is $20,000. This number comes from taking the current taxable amount while ALSO taxing the amount of your trade-in over $10,000. If your trade-in vehicle is valued at $20,000, $10,000 of that is additionally taxed. If your trade-in vehicle is valued at $12,000, $2,000 of that is additionally taxed. Therefore, not only are Illinois residents being taxed twice but the more value their trade-in vehicle has, the more it is costing them. Essentially, this is punishing drivers for keeping their vehicles in good condition. Profits from this “ Double Taxation” law are being earmarked for new state buildings and renovations. Where Can I Shop Outside of Chicago, IL? Palmen Automotive in Kenosha, WI For drivers and car shoppers in the Chicago area, we invite you to trade-in your models and shop at the Palmen Automotive dealerships in Kenosha, Wisconsin before the law goes into effect.
