SPRINGFIELD — Chances are workers have already seen the impact of Illinois’ 32 percent income tax increase.
Workers who’ve been paid for the first two weeks of July didn’t take home as much as they hoped.
The state’s income tax increase retroactively took effect July 1, as did a 33 percent corporate tax increase also approved by the General Assembly.
The Illinois Department of Revenue said large employers started withholding the tax increase almost immediately. Small employers started withholding too.
