Rates last moved while in office
Rate changes dated while they held the office that keeps that tax — mayor for city, governor for Illinois, president for federal, Cook Board president for county. Dated while in office is not authorship: a governor who vetoed a hike that the legislature overrode still shows that date under their term. A bigger standard deduction is a tax cut. Renewed means a cut was made permanent.
No dated rate changes since 16 May 2011. The rates below were set earlier and still apply.

These rates have not moved since they were set, so the ledger’s plate for each one names the officeholder on that date. Each line links to its official source.
