Springfield, IL -(Effingham Radio)- It’s going to cost you a little more to shop online.
Illinois is one of several states that started collecting online sales taxes yesterday.
The new taxes follow a Supreme Court decision from last year.
Illinois will charge online shoppers six-and-a-quarter percent on purchases, just like in traditional stores.
Many websites already charged the tax, but this new law will make sure the rest do as well
