Cal Skinner, Jr. (R- McHenry county). "Because those who drafted the RTA sales tax legislation blew it, Cook county residents can escape three-fourths of their new 1 percent sales tax by shopping in the collar coun­ ties," Skinner revealed. "Apparently, when the proposed RTA sales tax rates were changed from a uniform 1 percent throughout the six- county RTA area to a split rate in which only one-quarter percent would be levied on collar county residents, ad­ ministration drafters forgot that would necessitate a change in the use tax part of the bill," the lawmaker explained. "The use tax is that part of ' what is generally called the sales tax which allows the State Revenue department to collect sales tax on cars and trucks which are purchased outside the state for use within Illinois," Skinner explained. "The RTA tax hike bill includes a use tax, but only on those who purchase motor vehicles outside of the six-county metropolitan area. No authority is given the state to collect a use lax on Cook county residents who purchase motor vehicles in the collar counties.
