Chicago Amusement Tax

If you google Chicago you'll see that city limit lines border Niles, IL.  Maybe some of Niles is in, and other parts are out.

From the Official Ruling

13. The Department will utilize the rules set forth in the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Conformity Act, 35 ILCS 638, to determine sourcing for the amusement tax. In general, this means that the amusement tax will apply to customers whose residential street address or primary business street address is in Chicago, as reflected by their credit card billing address, zip code or other reliable information

You might want to contact the Chicago Department of Finance at 312-747-4747 or email at revenuedatabase@cityofchicago.org for some clarity.

This is the part I don't understand why att is billing me for chicago amusement tax when my address is not in Chicago area. I had this services for 12months but they added Chicago amusement tax 5 months ago. 

Chicago Department of Finance tells me that they don't know why I am billed for it when I don't live in Chicago. 

Att customer service tells me that's a law and should contact Chicago Department of Finance. 

I am lost in this loop of disinformation. 

It should be based on the address and not some border line. 

Reading this makes it sound like the tax applies to all of Cook County.

@marcin12marcinare you not amused? LOL im sorry but i just couldnt pass that one up.

I LOVE Chicago (DD#2 did undergrad at UIC and worked at SeaDog) but they have got some crazy taxes like a water bottle tax, a check out bag tax, soft drink tax (they may have repealed that one), a tire fee when you buy tires, and a parking tax to name a few.

Again, I Chicago but it ain't cheap to live there.

To be honest I don't mind paying this tax if it is required but I don't believe it is. It is an error and att it is just pocketing it 

Not really, 

I just don't att to pocket my money in an error.
