Illinois individual and elective pass-through entity tax is 4.95%; multi-member partnership LLCs and S-corporations pay 1.5% Personal Property Replacement Tax (PPRT). C-corporations pay 7.0% income tax plus 2.5% PPRT = 9.5%. The first $1,000,000 of corporate franchise-tax liability is exempt under 805 ILCS 5/15.35; the $75 annual report fee still applies.
