You owe Illinois use tax if you buy an item or service:
- For use or consumption in Illinois;
- From an out-of-state retailer who doesn't charge Illinois sales tax (Or charges sales tax at a lower rate than Illinois);
- That you'd normally pay sales tax for if you bought that item or service from a vendor in Illinois.
