The Illinois Department of Revenue lists Lombard’s base general merchandise rate at 8.25% as of August 1, 2026. Addresses in the business district are listed at 9.25%. Those include Yorktown Shopping Center, Yorktown Convenience Center, Summit Circle and listed addresses on East Butterfield Road. A retailer that moves from a Yorktown suite to a storefront elsewhere in the village changes rates with the move, and so does its sales tax return.
Our bookkeeping services keep sales tax collected tied to the correct location and rate, which makes the monthly return easier to prepare and support.
