When Jerry takes the pistol back from the man who stole the el Camino, you can see the rag the pistol's wrapped in fall to the ground when he puts the pistol in his pants pocket. The next cut shows the rag hanging from Jerry's pocket.
Chicagoâs 10.25% sales tax rate, which goes into effect January 1, 2016, surpasses four cities in AlabamaâBirmingham, Montgomery, Macon, and Mobileâthat previously captured the highest sales tax title, according to the Tax Foundation. They all have city sales tax rates of 10%.
Add up the state, city and public transit portions, and the total sales tax rate in Chicago once again will hit 10.25 percent â one of the highest rates in the nation. That means after Jan. 1, when the sales tax hike goes into effect, buying a $1,000 item, such as a new washer and dryer, would cost an extra $10.
