NOw when you get back home you show them the Illinois tax has been paid for and you will not be double taxed by your atate. Oh, by the way they will not give you a credit either. Now if your an out of state buyer and have it transported by a transportation company (they have all the proper documentation to deliver accross the country) Then NO you will not have to pay Illinois TAX.

The way the law is written is this: I you buy a boat from anybody/anywhere and you intend on using it in/on Illinois waters, then you must pay 6.5% use tax. If you live in Illinois and buy a boat in Illinois, but keep it and use it only at LOTO for example, then no tax is due. Basically they make sure you pay the tax when you go to register the boat in Illinois. And also even if a boat is documented, if you run it in illinois, then you must pay.

My sister got dinged on the tax this year. Bought a used boat in IN and I told her that she didn't have to pay tax. Well I didn't know the law had changed, so they go a surprise when the went to register it.
There are some things you can get away with. I bought an ATV in IN and never register in IL. So I did not have to pay tax on it. IL doesn't need to know about it. Can't ride it on the roads or anything so why should I go register it.
Oh and try living south of I-64.
