Do you pay sales tax when purchasing car from family member in Il?

In Illinois, you generally do pay sales tax when purchasing a car from a family member. The sale is still considered a taxable transaction, even if it's between relatives. You'll need to pay the sales tax to the Illinois Department of Revenue. The seller will usually need to provide the necessary paperwork for the transfer. Failure to do so can result in penalties.
