I live in a small town in IL, and have not heard of local income taxes here. Across the border nearby (Terre Haute, IN), they do have a county income tax, which started just after I moved out (ha!)

But look at the sales tax in Chicago - over 10%!!! I've read that when sales taxes start hitting double-digits, smuggling and other tax-avoidance fraud starts becoming a real problem. They are probably not doing themselves any favors jacking it up that high.

Here around Cleveland OH we have state and city income tax as well as state and county sales tax.

As well as county and city property tax.

Oh, and our roads and infrastructure suck, and a good portion or our county gvt is facing indictment for corruption.

Nice place. Huh? :)
