- Illinois’ new Digital Asset Tax is facing a legal challenge that could delay or affect its implementation.
- The Digital Chamber filed suit on July 21, 2026, in Sangamon County Circuit Court, challenging the tax on federal constitutional grounds, including the Commerce Clause and Due Process Clause.
- The complaint also alleges violations of the Illinois Constitution’s Uniformity, Due Process, and Proportionate Penalties Clauses.
- The suit argues the tax unlawfully discriminates against internet-based electronic commerce under the Internet Tax Freedom Act.
- The law remains in effect for now, but its timing, enforcement, and ultimate validity are uncertain pending court action.
