About Us
National Taxpayers United of Illinois
National Taxpayers United of Illinois (NTUI) is the largest and most effective statewide taxpayer group in Illinois. NTUI was founded in 1976 and, since that time, we’ve saved Illinois citizens over $74 billion in income, property, sales and other taxes — at both the state and local levels.
NTUI has defeated proposed income tax increases every year since 1993, 14 years in a row. NTUI has helped taxpayers defeat 190 local property tax increase referendums since 1977.
Illinois Taxpayer Education Foundation
The Illinois Taxpayer Education Foundation (ITEF) is a non-profit, charitable 501 (c) (3) organization conducting research on facts, methods, and principles of taxation, government spending and public attitudes on these subjects. ITEF comments can be found in the “ITEF” category in the left-hand navigation.
ITEF’s annual exposés on state revenue are legendary. Despite claims, by greedy politicians and lazy reporters, that Illinois has a revenue or budget crisis, ITEF proves total state revenue increased $14 billion over the five years ending June 30, 2007. This is twice the rate of price inflation.
Tax Accountability
Tax Accountability is the Political Action arm of NTUI. Tax Accountability sends out tax questionaires to people running for office and endorses those who sign our Illinois Taxpayer Protection Pledge.
