Detected July 22, 2026 · in Crypto & DeFi Tax Reporting

The Digital Chamber of Commerce has filed a lawsuit to block Illinois' new 0.2% tax on digital asset transactions, which was set to take effect January 1, 2025. This legal challenge creates uncertainty for businesses operating in Illinois, potentially delaying or nullifying the tax.
