A personal property tax is imposed by state or local governments on certain assets that can be touched and moved such as cars, livestock, or equipment. Personal property includes assets other than land or permanent structures such as buildings. These are considered to be real property.
Personal property is a class of property that can include any asset other than real estate. The distinguishing factor between personal property and real estate, or real property, is that personal property is movable, meaning it isn't fixed permanently to one particular location.
Use tax is a tax imposed on the privilege of using, in Illinois, any item of tangible personal property that is purchased anywhere at retail.
How is tangible personal property taxed? Personal property tax assessments are typically based on fair market value. Business owners file a tax return form with a property appraiser, who then values the property. The property value multiplied by the jurisdictional tax rate determines the tax amount due.
Real estate taxes vary depending on where you live, but the average property tax rate in Illinois was 1.95 percent of a home's assessed value in 2021, ing to the Tax Foundation. The Chicagoland area, including Lake, DuPage and Kendall counties, pays some of the highest property taxes statewide.
“Tangible personal property” exists physically (i.e., you can touch it) and can be used or consumed. Clothing, vehicles, jewelry, and business equipment are examples of tangible personal property.
You can't deduct capital losses on the sale of personal use property. A personal use asset that is sold at a loss generally isn't reported on your tax return unless it was reported to you on a 1099-K and you can't get a corrected version from the issuer of the form.
It's also worth noting that many states, but not Illinois, tax “personal property” like cars, boats and business equipment. The 1970 Illinois constitution banned personal property taxes.
