DIGITAL ASSET TAX ACT-REPEAL
This bill repeals the Digital Asset Tax Act, immediately ending the requirement for cryptocurrency exchanges in Illinois to collect a 1.5% tax on digital asset transactions. By removing the law from the books, the measure eliminates the obligation for these exchanges to withhold and remit taxes to the state. The change directly affects cryptocurrency platforms operating in Illinois and the investors who previously paid this specific tax on their trades.
