TAX ON PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND SALES TAX
WHEREAS, the City of Chicago has passed an ordinance imposing a
tax on professional services and a tax on sales of tangible personal
property rendered or used within the City of Chicago; and

the cost of services and tangible personal property, create additional
administrative burdens for sellers of same, and pose threats of severe
civil penalties or criminal sanctions to those businessmen; and
WHEREAS, the imposition of such taxes on service and retail merchants
outside the corporate limits of the City of Chicago may be considered
outside the scope of those powers conferred by the Constitution of the
State of Illino!s to home rule units of government; and
WHEREAS, the requirement to collect such taxes within the Village of
Buffalo Grove is an interference with the home rule powers of the Village
and an encroachment upon the affairs of the community.
