Fiscal Year 2023 Estimate for Replacement Taxes
In accordance with Illinois statute (50 ILCS 420/4.1), the Illinois Department of Revenue is required to provide an estimated entitlement* of the amount of Personal Property Replacement Taxes ("PPRT")** for Fiscal Year 2023.
The Fiscal Year 2023 PPRT allocations are estimated at $4.320 billion. This is an increase of 7.5% from Fiscal Year 2022 PPRT allocations that totaled $4.018 billion.
PPRT allocations are estimated to be higher for the following reasons:
- There will be three transfers from the Income Tax Refund Fund to the Personal Property Tax Fund in August, September, and October 2022 totaling approximately $359 million. These statutory transfers are because the estimated deposits into the Income Tax Refund Fund exceeded the money paid out for PPRT refunds in Fiscal Year 2022.
- A decline in the refund fund diversion rate will lead to an additional $23 million deposited into the PPRT fund.
A detailed listing of the approximate 6,500 local taxing districts which are entitled to receive an allocation for Fiscal Year 2023 (July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023) is available here. The list contains the following information:
