14expeditiously to complete the examination, the person in a
15record may request an informal conference with the
16administrator.
17    (b) If a person in a record requests an informal conference

19    person based on a fixed fee, hourly fee, or contingent fee;
20        (2) a contingent fee arrangement may not provide for a
21    payment that exceeds 15% of the amount or value of property

19believe that such transaction is not in accordance with the
20law, he shall refuse to draw a warrant.
21    (f) Where the Comptroller refuses to draw a warrant
22pursuant to this Section, he shall maintain separate records of
23such transactions.

19        existence of a service relationship. The notification
20        shall be submitted with the first statement of
21        condition (as required by Section 47 of this Act) due
22        after the making of the service contract or the

25        contract in the same manner.
26        For purposes of this subsection (2.5), the term "bank

2    checks and deposits, computation and posting of interest
3    and other credits and charges, preparation and mailing of
4    checks, statements, notices, and similar items, or any
5    other clerical, bookkeeping, accounting, statistical, or
6    similar functions performed for a State bank, including but
7    not limited to electronic data processing related to those
8    bank services.
9        (3) The expense of administering this Act, including
10    the expense of the examinations of State banks as provided
11    in this Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting
12    from the fees provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2), and
13    (b) of this subsection (3) be assessed against and borne by
14    the State banks:
15            (a) Each bank shall pay to the Secretary a Call
16        Report Fee which shall be paid in quarterly
17        installments equal to one-fourth of the sum of the
18        annual fixed fee of $800, plus a variable fee based on
19        the assets shown on the quarterly statement of
20        condition delivered to the Secretary in accordance
21        with Section 47 for the preceding quarter according to
22        the following schedule: 16¢ per $1,000 of the first
23        $5,000,000 of total assets, 15¢ per $1,000 of the next
24        $20,000,000 of total assets, 13¢ per $1,000 of the next

2        assets in excess of $1,000,000,000, of the State bank.
3        The Call Report Fee shall be calculated by the
4        Secretary and billed to the banks for remittance at the
5        time of the quarterly statements of condition provided
6        for in Section 47. The Secretary may require payment of
7        the fees provided in this Section by an electronic
8        transfer of funds or an automatic debit of an account
9        of each of the State banks. In case more than one
10        examination of any bank is deemed by the Secretary to
11        be necessary in any examination frequency cycle
12        specified in subsection 2(a) of this Section, and is
13        performed at his direction, the Secretary may assess a
14        reasonable additional fee to recover the cost of the
15        additional examination; provided, however, that an
16        examination conducted at the request of the State
17        Treasurer pursuant to the Uniform Disposition of
18        Unclaimed Property Act shall not be deemed to be an
19        additional examination under this Section. In lieu of
20        the method and amounts set forth in this paragraph (a)
21        for the calculation of the Call Report Fee, the
22        Secretary may specify by rule that the Call Report Fees
23        provided by this Section may be assessed semiannually
24        or some other period and may provide in the rule the
25        formula to be used for calculating and assessing the
26        periodic Call Report Fees to be paid by State banks.

1            (a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an
2        emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner
3        may assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the
4        affairs of a State bank with whatever frequency he
5        deems appropriate, including but not limited to a daily
6        basis. The reasonable and necessary expenses of the
7        Commissioner during the period of the monitoring shall
8        be borne by the subject bank. The Commissioner shall
9        furnish the State bank a statement of time and expenses
10        if requested to do so within 30 days of the conclusion
11        of the monitoring period.
12            (a-2) On and after January 1, 1990, the reasonable
13        and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during
14        examination of the performance of electronic data
15        processing services under subsection (2.5) shall be
16        borne by the banks for which the services are provided.
17        An amount, based upon a fee structure prescribed by the
18        Commissioner, shall be paid by the banks or, after May
19        31, 1997, branches of out-of-state banks receiving the
20        electronic data processing services along with the
21        Call Report Fee assessed under paragraph (a) of this
22        subsection (3).

1        behalf of branches of out-of-state banks shall be borne
2        by the out-of-state banks, unless those expenses are
3        borne by the state regulatory authorities that
4        chartered the out-of-state banks, as determined by
5        cooperative agreements between the Commissioner and
6        the state regulatory authorities that chartered the
7        out-of-state banks.
8            (b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48
9        is defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and
10        ending June 30 of the next year. The Commissioner shall
11        receive for each fiscal year, commencing with the
12        fiscal year ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee
13        equal to the lesser of the aggregate of the fees paid
14        by all State banks under paragraph (a) of subsection
15        (3) for that year, or the amount, if any, whereby the
16        aggregate of the administration expenses, as defined
17        in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year exceeds the sum
18        of the aggregate of the fees payable by all State banks
19        for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection (3),
20        plus any amounts transferred into the Bank and Trust
21        Company Fund from the State Pensions Fund for that
22        year, plus all other amounts collected by the
23        Commissioner for that year under any other provision of
24        this Act, plus the aggregate of all fees collected for

1        provided for in Section 5-10 of the Corporate Fiduciary
2        Act, and the Foreign Banking Office Act. The aggregate
3        amount of the contingent fee thus arrived at for any
4        fiscal year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed
5        upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign banking
6        corporations, respectively, in the same proportion
7        that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of subsection
8        (3), respectively, for that year bears to the aggregate
9        for that year of the fees collected under paragraph (a)
10        of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of the
11        contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed
12        upon each State bank and foreign banking corporation,
13        respectively, shall be determined by the Commissioner
14        and shall be paid by each, respectively, within 120
15        days of the close of the period for which the
16        contingent fee is computed and is payable, and the
17        Commissioner shall give 20 days' days advance notice of
18        the amount of the contingent fee payable by the State
19        bank and of the date fixed by the Commissioner for
20        payment of the fee.
21            (c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal
22        year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses
23        for that year incident to making the examinations
24        provided for by, and for otherwise administering, this
25        Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the

6        for the State by officers or employees of the State,
7        including the Commissioner and the Deputy
8        Commissioners, communication equipment and services,

13        office space, building, or structure, or expenditures
14        for the maintenance thereof or for furnishing heat,
15        light, or power with respect thereto, all to the extent
16        that those expenditures are directly incidental to
17        such examinations or administration. The Commissioner
18        shall not be required by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of
19        this subsection (3) to maintain in any fiscal year's
20        budget appropriated reserves for accrued vacation and
21        accrued sick leave that is required to be paid to
22        employees of the Commissioner upon termination of
23        their service with the Commissioner in an amount that
24        is more than is reasonably anticipated to be necessary
25        for any anticipated turnover in employees, whether due
26        to normal attrition or due to layoffs, terminations, or

2            (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
3        Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act,
4        or the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1,
5        1979, shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
6        accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the
7        State treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund
8        to be known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund",
9        except as provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11)
10        of this Section. All earnings received from
11        investments of funds in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
12        shall be deposited in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
13        and may be used for the same purposes as fees deposited
14        in that Fund. The amount from time to time deposited
15        into the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be used: (i)
16        to offset the ordinary administrative expenses of the
17        Secretary as defined in this Section or (ii) as a
18        credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
19        subsection (3). Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1979
20        shall prevent continuing the practice of paying
21        expenses involving salaries, retirement, social
22        security, and State-paid insurance premiums of State
23        officers by appropriations from the General Revenue
24        Fund. However, the General Revenue Fund shall be
25        reimbursed for those payments made on and after July 1,
26        1979, by an annual transfer of funds from the Bank and

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 151 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        Trust Company Fund. Moneys in the Bank and Trust
2        Company Fund may be transferred to the Professions
3        Indirect Cost Fund, as authorized under Section
4        2105-300 of the Department of Professional Regulation
5        Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
6            Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance
7        Act, as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to
8        the contrary, the sum of $18,788,847 shall be
9        transferred from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the
10        Financial Institutions Settlement of 2008 Fund on the
11        effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th
12        General Assembly, or as soon thereafter as practical.
13            Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance
14        Act, as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to
15        the contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year
16        through January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the
17        State Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a
18        specified sum not exceeding 10% of the revenues to be
19        deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during
20        that fiscal year from that Fund to the General Revenue
21        Fund in order to help defray the State's operating
22        costs for the fiscal year. Notwithstanding provisions
23        in the State Finance Act, as now or hereafter amended,
24        or any other law to the contrary, the total sum
25        transferred during any fiscal year through January 10,
26        2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 152 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
2        not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues
3        to be deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund
4        during that fiscal year. The State Treasurer and
5        Comptroller shall transfer the amounts designated
6        under this Section as soon as may be practicable after
7        receiving the direction to transfer from the Governor.
8            (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank
9        and Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
10        administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
11        administration expenses shall be deducted from the
12        total fees collected by the Commissioner and the
13        remainder transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
14        Account, unless the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve
15        Account prior to the transfer equals or exceeds
16        one-fourth of the total initial appropriations from
17        the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the subsequent
18        year, in which case the remainder shall be credited to
19        State banks and foreign banking corporations and
20        applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
21        amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
22        corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
23        Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total
24        Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
25        transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if
26        no remainder is available for transfer, the balance of

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 153 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        the Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth
2        of the total initial appropriations for the subsequent
3        year and the amount transferred is less than 5% of the
4        total Call Report Fees for the year, additional amounts
5        needed to make the transfer equal to 5% of the total
6        Call Report Fees for the year shall be apportioned
7        amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and
8        foreign banking corporations in the same proportion
9        that the Call Report Fees of each, respectively, for
10        the year bear to the total Call Report Fees collected
11        for the year. The additional amounts assessed shall be
12        transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account. For
13        purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the calculation of
14        the fees collected by the Commissioner shall exclude
15        the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 of
16        the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
17            (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to
18        any public record in his keeping and shall have
19        authority to levy a reasonable charge for issuing
20        certifications of any public record in his keeping.
21            (f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in
22        this Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a
23        review, approval, or provision of a service, levy a
24        reasonable charge to recover the cost of the review,
25        approval, or service.
26        (4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 154 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports
2    of any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent
3    insured by the United States or any agency thereof, nor to
4    limit in any way the powers of the Commissioner with
5    reference to examinations and reports of that bank.
6        (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or
7    investment of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan
8    for officers or employees of every State bank or, after May
9    31, 1997, branch of an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to
10    be included in the affairs of that State bank or branch of
11    an out-of-state bank subject to examination by the
12    Commissioner under the provisions of subsection (2) of this
13    Section, and if the Commissioner shall find from an
14    examination that the condition of or operation of the
15    investments or assets of the plan is unlawful, fraudulent,
16    or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his trust, the
17    Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
18    Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction
19    within 60 days after the Commissioner has given notice to
20    the board of directors of the State bank or out-of-state
21    bank of his findings, report the facts to the Attorney
22    General who shall thereupon institute proceedings against
23    the State bank or out-of-state bank, the board of directors
24    thereof, or the trustees under such plan as the nature of
25    the case may require.
26        (6) The Commissioner shall have the power:

7        continue in effect for the period prescribed by the
8        Commissioner.
9            (b) To issue orders against any person, if the
10        Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that an
11        unsafe or unsound banking practice has occurred, is
12        occurring, or is about to occur, if any person has
13        violated, is violating, or is about to violate any law,
14        rule, or written agreement with the Commissioner, or
15        for the purpose of administering the provisions of this
16        Act and any rule promulgated in accordance with this
17        Act.

4    Section 17-65. The Currency Exchange Act is amended by
5changing Sections 15.1b and 19.3 as follows:
 
6    (205 ILCS 405/15.1b)  (from Ch. 17, par. 4827)
7    Sec. 15.1b. Liquidation; distribution; priority. The
8General Assembly finds and declares that community currency
9exchanges provide important and vital services to Illinois
10citizens. The General Assembly also finds that in providing
11such services, community currency exchanges transact extensive
12business involving check cashing and the writing of money
13orders in communities in which banking services are generally
14unavailable. It is therefore declared to be the policy of this
15State that customers who receive these services must be
16protected from insolvencies of currency exchanges and
17interruptions of services. To carry out this policy and to
18insure that customers of community currency exchanges are
19protected in the event it is determined that a community
20currency exchange in receivership should be liquidated in
21accordance with Section 15.1a of this Act, the Secretary shall
22make a distribution of moneys collected by the receiver in the
23following order of priority: First, allowed claims for the
24actual necessary expenses of the receivership of the community

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 208 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1currency exchange being liquidated, including (a) reasonable
2receiver fees and receiver's attorney's fees approved by the
3Secretary, (b) all expenses of any preliminary or other
4examinations into the condition of the community currency
5exchange or receivership, (c) all expenses incurred by the
6Secretary which are incident to possession and control of any
7property or records of the community currency exchange, and (d)
8reasonable expenses incurred by the Secretary as the result of
9business agreements or contractual arrangements necessary to
10insure that the services of the community currency exchanges
11are delivered to the community without interruption. Said
12business agreements or contractual arrangements may include,
13but are not limited to, agreements made by the Secretary, or by
14the Receiver with the approval of the Secretary, with banks,
15money order companies, bonding companies and other types of
16financial institutions; Second, allowed claims by a purchaser
17of money orders issued on demand of the community currency
18exchange being liquidated; Third, allowed claims arising by
19virtue of and to the extent of the amount a utility customer
20deposits with the community currency exchange being liquidated
21which are not remitted to the utility company; Fourth, allowed
22claims arising by virtue of and to the extent of the amount
23paid by a purchaser of Illinois license plates, vehicle
24stickers sold for State and municipal governments in Illinois,
25and temporary Illinois registration permits purchased at the
26currency exchange being liquidated; Fifth, allowed unsecured

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 209 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

2sick leave pay earned by employee earned within 90 days prior
3to the appointment of a Receiver; Sixth, secured claims;
4Seventh, allowed unsecured claims of any tax, and interest and
5penalty on the tax; Eighth, allowed unsecured claims other than
6a kind specified in paragraph one, two and three of this
7Section, filed with the Secretary within the time the Secretary
8fixes for filing claims; Ninth, allowed unsecured claims, other
9than a kind specified in paragraphs one, two and three of this
10Section filed with the Secretary after the time fixed for
11filing claims by the Secretary; Tenth, allowed creditor claims
12asserted by an owner, member, or stockholder of the community
13currency exchange in liquidation; Eleventh, after one year from
14the final dissolution of the currency exchange, all assets not
15used to satisfy allowed claims shall be distributed pro rata to
16the owner, owners, members, or stockholders of the currency
17exchange.
18    The Secretary shall pay all claims of equal priority
19according to the schedule set out above, and shall not pay
20claims of lower priority until all higher priority claims are
21satisfied. If insufficient assets are available to meet all
22claims of equal priority, those assets shall be distributed pro
23rata among those claims. All unclaimed assets of a currency
24exchange shall be deposited with the Secretary to be paid out
25by him when proper claims therefor are presented to the
26Secretary. If there are funds remaining after the conclusion of

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 210 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1a receivership of an abandoned currency exchange, the remaining
2funds shall be considered unclaimed property and remitted to
3the State Treasurer under the Revised Uniform Disposition of
4Unclaimed Property Act.

7    Sec. 19.3. (A) The General Assembly hereby finds and
8declares: community currency exchanges and ambulatory currency
9exchanges provide important and vital services to Illinois
10citizens. In so doing, they transact extensive business
11involving check cashing and the writing of money orders in
12communities in which banking services are generally
13unavailable. Customers of currency exchanges who receive these
14services must be protected from being charged unreasonable and
15unconscionable rates for cashing checks and purchasing money
16orders. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional
17Regulation has the responsibility for regulating the
18operations of currency exchanges and has the expertise to
19determine reasonable maximum rates to be charged for check
20cashing and money order purchases. Therefore, it is in the
21public interest, convenience, welfare and good to have the
22Department establish reasonable maximum rate schedules for
23check cashing and the issuance of money orders and to require
24community and ambulatory currency exchanges to prominently
25display to the public the fees charged for all services. The

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 211 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1Secretary shall review, each year, the cost of operation of the
2Currency Exchange Section and the revenue generated from
3currency exchange examinations and report to the General
4Assembly if the need exists for an increase in the fees
5mandated by this Act to maintain the Currency Exchange Section
6at a fiscally self-sufficient level. The Secretary shall
7include in such report the total amount of funds remitted to
8the State and delivered to the State Treasurer by currency
9exchanges pursuant to the Revised Uniform Disposition of
10Unclaimed Property Act.
11    (B) The Secretary shall, by rules adopted in accordance
12with the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, expeditiously
13formulate and issue schedules of reasonable maximum rates which
14can be charged for check cashing and writing of money orders by
15community currency exchanges and ambulatory currency
16exchanges.
17        (1) In determining the maximum rate schedules for the
18    purposes of this Section the Secretary shall take into
19    account:
20            (a) Rates charged in the past for the cashing of
21        checks and the issuance of money orders by community
22        and ambulatory currency exchanges.
23            (b) Rates charged by banks or other business
24        entities for rendering the same or similar services and
25        the factors upon which those rates are based.
26            (c) The income, cost and expense of the operation

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 212 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        of currency exchanges.
2            (d) Rates charged by currency exchanges or other
3        similar entities located in other states for the same
4        or similar services and the factors upon which those
5        rates are based.
6            (e) Rates charged by the United States Postal
7        Service for the issuing of money orders and the factors
8        upon which those rates are based.
9            (f) A reasonable profit for a currency exchange
10        operation.
11        (2)(a) The schedule of reasonable maximum rates
12    established pursuant to this Section may be modified by the
13    Secretary from time to time pursuant to rules adopted in
14    accordance with the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
15        (b) Upon the filing of a verified petition setting
16    forth allegations demonstrating reasonable cause to
17    believe that the schedule of maximum rates previously
18    issued and promulgated should be adjusted, the Secretary
19    shall expeditiously:
20            (i) reject the petition if it fails to demonstrate
21        reasonable cause to believe that an adjustment is
22        necessary; or
23            (ii) conduct such hearings, in accordance with
24        this Section, as may be necessary to determine whether
25        the petition should be granted in whole or in part.
26        (c) No petition may be filed pursuant to subparagraph

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 213 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    (a) of paragraph (2) of subsection (B) unless:
2            (i) at least nine months have expired since the
3        last promulgation of schedules of maximum rates; and
4            (ii) at least one-fourth of all community currency
5        exchange licensees join in a petition or, in the case
6        of ambulatory currency exchanges, a licensee or
7        licensees authorized to serve at least 100 locations

19in-force policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset
20accounts by using the full Death Master File. The initial
21comparison shall be completed on or before December 31, 2017,

1least a semi-annual basis using the Death Master File update
2files for comparisons to identify potential matches of its
3insureds, annuitants, and retained asset account holders. In
4the event that one of the insurer's lines of business conducts
5a search for matches of its insureds, annuitants, and retained
6asset account holders against the Death Master File at
7intervals more frequently than semi-annually, then all lines of
8the insurer's business shall conduct searches for matches
9against the Death Master File with the same frequency.
10    An insured, an annuitant, or a retained asset account
11holder is presumed dead if the date of his or her death is
12indicated by the comparison required in this subsection (a),
13unless the insurer has competent and substantial evidence that
14the person is living, including, but not limited to, a contact
15made by the insurer with the person or his or her legal
16representative.
17    For those potential matches identified as a result of a
18Death Master File match, the insurer shall within 120 days
19after the date of death notice, if the insurer has not been
20contacted by a beneficiary, determine whether benefits are due
21in accordance with the applicable policy or contract and, if
22benefits are due in accordance with the applicable policy or
23contract:
24        (1) use good faith efforts, which shall be documented
25    by the insurer, to locate the beneficiary or beneficiaries;

11    instructions to the beneficiary or beneficiaries to make a
12    claim, including the need to provide an official death
13    certificate if applicable under the policy or annuity
14    contract.

16following when conducting searches of the Death Master File:
17        (1) common nicknames, initials used in lieu of a first
18    or middle name, use of a middle name, compound first and
19    middle names, and interchanged first and middle names;
20        (2) compound last names, maiden or married names, and
21    hyphens, blank spaces, or apostrophes in last names;
22        (3) transposition of the "month" and "date" portions of
23    the date of birth; and
24        (4) incomplete social security numbers.
25    (c) To the extent permitted by law, an insurer may disclose
26the minimum necessary personal information about the insured,

1annuity owner, retained asset account holder, or beneficiary to
2a person whom the insurer reasonably believes may be able to
3assist the insurer with locating the beneficiary or a person
4otherwise entitled to payment of the claims proceeds.
5    (d) An insurer or its service provider shall not charge any
6beneficiary or other authorized representative for any fees or
7costs associated with a Death Master File search or
8verification of a Death Master File match conducted pursuant to
9this Act.
10    (e) The benefits from a policy, annuity contract, or a
11retained asset account, plus any applicable accrued interest,
12shall first be payable to the designated beneficiaries or
13owners and, in the event the beneficiaries or owners cannot be
14found, shall be reported and delivered to the State Treasurer
15pursuant to the Revised Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed
16Property Act. Nothing in this subsection (e) is intended to
17alter the amounts reportable under the existing provisions of
18the Revised Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act or to
19allow the imposition of additional statutory interest under
20Article XIV of the Illinois Insurance Code.

23a violation of Section 424 of the Illinois Insurance Code.

7imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
8increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
9under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
10shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
11on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
12the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of

11    and (d).
12        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this

14    by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by
15    subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
16    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
17    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
18    subsection (d).

20Section 250.
21    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
22against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
23investment in qualified property.
24        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
25    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
26    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 258 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
2    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
3    property placed in service during the taxable year,
4    provided such property is placed in service on or after
5    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
6    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
7    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
8    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
9    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
10    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
11    which they file employment records with the Illinois
12    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
13    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
14    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
15    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
16    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
17    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
18    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
19    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
20    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
21    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
22    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
23    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
24    other than the year in which the property was placed in
25    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
26    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 259 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
2    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
3    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
4    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
5    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
6    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
7    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
8    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
9    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
10    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
11    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
12    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
13    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
14    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
15    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
16    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
17    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
18    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
19    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
20    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
21    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
22    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
23    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
24    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
25    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
26    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 260 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
2    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
3    shall be applied first.
4        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
5    which:
6            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
7        buildings and structural components of buildings and
8        signs that are real property, but not including land or
9        improvements to real property that are not a structural
10        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
11        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
12        other appurtenances;
13            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
14        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
15        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
16        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
17        (e);
18            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
19        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
20            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
21        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
22        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
23        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
24        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
25        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
26            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 261 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
2        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
3        subsection (f).
4        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
5    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
6    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
7    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
8    assembling which changes some existing material into new
9    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
10    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
11    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
12    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
13    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
14    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
15    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
16    personal property for use or consumption and not for
17    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
18    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
19    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
20    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
21    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
22    electricity.
23        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
24    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
25    income tax purposes.
26        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 262 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
2    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
3    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
4    date of such increase in basis.
5        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
6    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
7        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
8    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
9    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
10    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
11    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
12    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
13    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
14    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
15    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
16    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
17    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
18    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
19    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of

3    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
4    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
5    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
6    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
7    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
8    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
9    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
10    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
11    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
12    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
13    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that

15    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
16    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
17    shall be irrevocable.

12    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
13    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
14    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
15    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
16    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
17    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
18    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
19    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
20    determined in accordance with the determination of income
21    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
22    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
23    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit

1    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
2    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
3    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
4    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
5    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
6    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
7    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
8    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
9    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
10    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
11    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
12    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
13    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
14    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
15        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
16            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
17        buildings and structural components of buildings;
18            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

21        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
22        (f);
23            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
24        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
25            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge

1            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
2        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
3        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
4        subsection (e).
5        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
6    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
7    income tax purposes.
8        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
9    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
10    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
11    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
12    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
13    date of such increase in basis.
14        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
15    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
16        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
17    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
18    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
19    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
20    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
21    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
22    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
23    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
24    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
25    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
26    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 267 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
2    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
3    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
4    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
5    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
6    property to the extent of such reduction.
7        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
8    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
9    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
10    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
11    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
12    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
13    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
14    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
15    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
16    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
17    employment for the first year in which they file employment
18    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
19    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
20    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
21    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
22    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
23    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

14    (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
15    Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
16    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
17    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
18    credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
19    taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
20    The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
21    investment by a designated high impact business authorized
22    under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
23    Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
24    year in which the property is placed in service and shall
25    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
26    taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 269 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
2    on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
3    for the tax year in which the property is placed in
4    service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
5    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
6    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
7    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
8    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
9    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
10    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
11    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
12    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
13        Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
14    88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
15    reflect existing law.
16        (2) The term qualified property means property which:

6        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
7    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
8    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
9    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
10    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
11    the date of such increase in basis.
12        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
13    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
14        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
15    December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
16    property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
17    after being placed in service, or the situs of any
18    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
19    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
20    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
21    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
22    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
23    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
24    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
25    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
26    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 271 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
2    basis of qualified property resulting from a
3    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
4    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
5    reduction.
6        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
7    1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
8    subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
9    the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
10    the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
11    18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
12    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
13    for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
14    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
15    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
16    (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
17Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
18shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
19(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
20(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
21multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
22Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
23allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
24base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
25rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
26    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this

1subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
2because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
3and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
4liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
5forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
6(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
7year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
8year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
9applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
10liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
11than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
12earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
13first.
14    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
151986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
16Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
17subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
18shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
19recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
20imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
21reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
22taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
23year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
24    (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
25ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,

4of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
5training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled
6or skilled fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
7computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
8imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
9training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
10corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
11liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
12federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
13credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
14with the determination of income and distributive share of
15income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
16Internal Revenue Code.
17    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
18the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
19the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
20first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
21first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
22there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
23year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
24credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No

1    (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending
2after July 1, 1990 and prior to December 31, 2003, and
3beginning again for tax years ending on or after December 31,
42004, and ending prior to January 1, 2022 January 1, 2016, a
5taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by
6subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for increasing research
7activities in this State. The credit allowed against the tax
8imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of
9the qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities
10in this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
11corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
12liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
13federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
14credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
15with the determination of income and distributive share of
16income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
17Internal Revenue Code.
18    For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
19means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
20credit for increasing research activities which would be
21allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
22which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
23increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
24of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
25incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
26"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 275 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
2period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
3preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
4made.
5    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
6year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
7unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
8as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
9taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
10first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
11prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
12ending on or after December 31, 2003.
13    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
142 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
15year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
16given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
17remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
18applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
19liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
20credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
21following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
22that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
23than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
24credit is given was incurred.
25    No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
2691st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 276 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1years beginning before January 1, 1999.
2    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research
3and development credit under this subsection (k) shall apply
4continuously for all tax years ending on or after December 31,
52004 and ending prior to January 1, 2022, including, but not
6limited to, the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending
7on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th
8General Assembly. All actions taken in reliance on the
9continuation of the credit under this subsection (k) by any
10taxpayer are hereby validated.
11    (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
12        (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on
13    or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be allowed a
14    credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
15    of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed
16    eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
17    subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
18    eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
19    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
20    Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
21    paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
22    which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
23    Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
24    Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
25    for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
26    eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 277 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
2    party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
3    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
4    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
5    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
6    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
7    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
8    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
9    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
10    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
11    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
12    those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
13    includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
14    succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
15    and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
16    deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
17    Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being
18    a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
19    credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
20    and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
21    remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
22    that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
23    contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
24    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
25    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
26    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 278 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
2    shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
3    allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
4    accordance with the determination of income and
5    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
6    subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
7        (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
8    unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
9    forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
10    for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
11    term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
12    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
13    maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
14    This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
15    which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
16    subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
17    offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
18    subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
19    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
20    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
21    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
22    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
23    carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
24    transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
25    chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
26    the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 279 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
2    amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
3    the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
4    taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
5    eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).

13    forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
14    for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This
15    credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
16    which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
17    subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
18    offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
19    subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
20    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
21    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
22    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
23    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
24    carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the

10    (a) In general. With respect to the taxable year of a
11taxpayer beginning prior to the first day of a month and ending
12after the last day of the preceding month January 1 of any year
13and ending after December 31 of the preceding year, net income
14for the period after the last day of the preceding month
15December 31 of the preceding year, is that amount that bears
16the same ratio to the taxpayer's net income for the entire
17taxable year as the number of days in that taxable year after
18the last day of the preceding month December 31 bears to the
19total number of days in that taxable year, and the net income
20for the period prior to the first day of the month January 1 is
21that amount that bears the same ratio to the taxpayer's net
22income for the entire taxable year as the number of days in
23that taxable year prior to the first day of the month January 1
24bears to the total number of days in that taxable year.

1specifically to the respective portions of a taxable year prior
2to the first day of a month and ending after the last day of the
3preceding month January 1 of any year and after December 31 of
4the preceding year. In the case of a taxpayer with a taxable
5year beginning prior to the first day of a month and ending
6after the last day of the preceding month January 1 of any year
7and ending after December 31 of the preceding year, the
8taxpayer may elect, instead of the procedure established in
9subsection (a) of this Section, to determine net income on a
10specific accounting basis for the 2 portions of the taxable
11year:
12        (1) from the beginning of the taxable year through the
13    last day of that apportionment period December 31; and
14        (2) from the first day of the next apportionment period
15    January 1 through the end of the taxable year.
16    The election provided by this subsection must be made in
17the form and manner that the Department requires by rule, and
18must be made no later than the due date (including any
19extensions thereof) for the filing of the return for the
20taxable year, and is irrevocable.
21    (c) If the taxpayer elects specific accounting under
22subsection (b):
23        (1) there shall be taken into account in computing base
24    income for each of the 2 portions of the taxable year only
25    those items earned, received, paid, incurred or accrued in
26    each such period;

1        (2) for purposes of apportioning business income of the
2    taxpayer, the provisions in Article 3 shall be applied on
3    the basis of the taxpayer's full taxable year, without
4    regard to this Section;
5        (3) the exemption provided by Section 204 shall be
6    divided between the respective periods in amounts which
7    bear the same ratio to the total exemption allowable under
8    Section 204 (determined without regard to this Section) as
9    the total number of days in each period bears to the total
10    number of days in the taxable year;
11        (4) for purposes of this subsection, net income may not
12    be negative for either of the two portions of the taxable
13    year and positive for the other; if net income for one
14    portion of the taxable year would be positive and net
15    income for the other portion would otherwise be negative,
16    the net income for the entire taxable year shall be
17    attributed to the portion of the taxable year with positive
18    net income and the net income for the other portion of the
19    taxable year shall be zero; and
20        (5) the net loss carryforward deduction for the taxable
21    year under Section 207 may not exceed combined net income
22    of both portions of the taxable year, and shall be used
23    against the net income of the portion of the taxable year
24    from the beginning of the taxable year through the last day
25    of the preceding month December 31 before any remaining

15        the last day of the last tax year for which the
16        taxpayer may claim a depreciation deduction for
17        federal income tax purposes and for which the taxpayer

1        indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
2        December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
3        member of the same unitary business group but for the
4        fact that foreign person's business activity outside
5        the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
6        person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
7        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
8        who would be a member of the same unitary business
9        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
10        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
11        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
12        required to apportion business income under different
13        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
14        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
15        extent that dividends were included in base income of
16        the unitary group for the same taxable year and
17        received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
18        taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
19        included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964
20        of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in

24            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
25                (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

10000SB0009ham003- 292 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
2            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
3            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
4            with respect to such interest; or
5                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
6            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
7            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
8            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
9            following:
10                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
11                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
12                to a person that is not a related member, and
13                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
14                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
15                person did not have as a principal purpose the
16                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
17                pursuant to a contract or agreement that
18                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
19                terms; or
20                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
21            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
22            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
23            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
24            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
25            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
26                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 293 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
2            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
3            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
4            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
5            to the application or use of an alternative method
6            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
7                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
8            Director from making any other adjustment
9            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
10            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
11            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
12            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
13            and such regulations provide methods and standards
14            by which the Department will utilize its authority
15            under Section 404 of this Act;
16            (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
17        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
18        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
19        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
20        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
21        foreign person who would be a member of the same
22        unitary business group but for the fact that the
23        foreign person's business activity outside the United
24        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
25        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
26        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 294 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
2        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
3        from being included in the unitary business group
4        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
5        business income under different subsections of Section
6        304. The addition modification required by this
7        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
8        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
9        group for the same taxable year and received by the
10        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
11        business group (including amounts included in gross
12        income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
13        Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
14        Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
15        to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
16        expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
17        incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
18        apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
19        reduction to the addition modification required under
20        Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
21        subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
22        includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
23        related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
24        maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
25        or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
26        losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from

1        factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
2        (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
3        (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
4        costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
5        property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
6        names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
7        works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
8        assets.
9            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
10                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
11            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
12            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
13            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
14            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
15            to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
16            to such item; or
17                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
18            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
19            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based

2        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to

6        included in the unitary business group because he or
7        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
8        income under different subsections of Section 304. The

17        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
18        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were

10000SB0009ham003- 318 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
2        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
3        who would be a member of the same unitary business
4        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
5        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
6        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
7        required to apportion business income under different
8        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
9        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
10        extent that dividends were included in base income of
11        the unitary group for the same taxable year and
12        received by the taxpayer or by a member of the

26            with respect to such interest; or

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 319 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
2            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
3            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
4            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
5            following:
6                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
7                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
8                to a person that is not a related member, and
9                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
10                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
11                person did not have as a principal purpose the
12                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid

14                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
15                terms; or
16                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
17            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
18            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
19            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
20            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
21            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
22                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
23            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
24            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
25            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
26            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 320 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1            to the application or use of an alternative method
2            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
3                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
4            Director from making any other adjustment
5            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
6            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
7            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
8            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
9            and such regulations provide methods and standards
10            by which the Department will utilize its authority
11            under Section 404 of this Act;
12            (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
13        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
14        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
15        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
16        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
17        foreign person who would be a member of the same
18        unitary business group but for the fact that the
19        foreign person's business activity outside the United
20        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
21        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
22        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
23        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
24        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
25        from being included in the unitary business group
26        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 321 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        business income under different subsections of Section
2        304. The addition modification required by this
3        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
4        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
5        group for the same taxable year and received by the
6        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
7        business group (including amounts included in gross
8        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
9        Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
10        income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
11        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
12        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
13        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
14        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
15        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
16        modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
17        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
18        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
19        losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
20        indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
21        ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
22        intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
23        indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
24        transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
25        copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other

1        subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
2        patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
3        marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
4        similar types of intangible assets.
5            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
6                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
7            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
8            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
9            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
10            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
11            to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
12            to such item; or
13                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
14            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
15            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
16            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
17            following:
18                    (a) the person during the same taxable
19                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
20                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
21                not a related member, and
22                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
23                intangible expense or cost between the
24                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
25                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
26                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 323 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
2                or
3                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
4            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
5            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
6            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
7            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
8            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
9            writing to the application or use of an alternative
10            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
11                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
12            Director from making any other adjustment
13            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
14            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
15            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
16            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
17            and such regulations provide methods and standards
18            by which the Department will utilize its authority
19            under Section 404 of this Act;
20            (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
21        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
22        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
23        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
24        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
25        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
26        business group but for the fact that the person is

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 324 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
2        included in the unitary business group because he or
3        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
4        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
5        addition modification required by this subparagraph
6        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
7        included in base income of the unitary group for the
8        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
9        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
10        (including amounts included in gross income under
11        Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
12        and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
13        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
14        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
15        directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
16        preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
17        the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
18        modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) or
19        Section 203(b)(2)(E-13) of this Act;
20            (E-15) For taxable years beginning after December
21        31, 2008, any deduction for dividends paid by a captive

14                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
15                pursuant to a contract or agreement that
16                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and

18                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
19            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
20            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
21            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
22            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
23            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
24                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
25            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if

1            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
2            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
3            to the application or use of an alternative method
4            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
5                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6            Director from making any other adjustment
7            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
8            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
9            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
10            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
11            and such regulations provide methods and standards
12            by which the Department will utilize its authority
13            under Section 404 of this Act;
14            (G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
15        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
16        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
17        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
18        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
19        foreign person who would be a member of the same
20        unitary business group but for the fact that the
21        foreign person's business activity outside the United
22        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
23        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
24        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
25        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
26        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)

1        from being included in the unitary business group
2        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
3        business income under different subsections of Section
4        304. The addition modification required by this
5        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
6        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
7        group for the same taxable year and received by the
8        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
9        business group (including amounts included in gross
10        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
11        Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
12        income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
13        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
14        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
15        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
16        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
17        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
18        modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
19        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
20        "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
21        expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
22        direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
23        management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
24        disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
25        incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
26        transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,

1        patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
2        fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
3        purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
4        includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
5        trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
6        trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
7            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
8                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
9            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
10            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
11            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
12            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
13            to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
14            to such item; or
15                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
16            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
18            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
19            following:
20                    (a) the person during the same taxable
21                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
22                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
23                not a related member, and
24                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
25                intangible expense or cost between the
26                taxpayer and the person did not have as a

2                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
3                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;

5                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
6            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
7            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
8            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
9            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
10            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
11            writing to the application or use of an alternative
12            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
13                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
14            Director from making any other adjustment
15            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
16            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
17            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
18            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
19            and such regulations provide methods and standards
20            by which the Department will utilize its authority
21            under Section 404 of this Act;
22            (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
23        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
24        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
25        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
26        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to

1        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
2        business group but for the fact that the person is
3        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
4        included in the unitary business group because he or
5        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
6        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
7        addition modification required by this subparagraph
8        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
9        included in base income of the unitary group for the
10        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
11        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
12        (including amounts included in gross income under
13        Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
14        and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
15        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
16        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
17        directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
18        preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
19        the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
20        modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
21        Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
22            (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

10        distributions under the provisions of any retirement
11        or disability plan for employees of any governmental
12        agency or unit, or retirement payments to retired
13        partners, which payments are excluded in computing net
14        earnings from self employment by Section 1402 of the
15        Internal Revenue Code and regulations adopted pursuant
16        thereto;
17            (I) The valuation limitation amount;

14        amount equal to the bonus depreciation deduction taken
15        on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for the
16        taxable year under subsection (k) of Section 168 of the

1        taxpayer may claim a depreciation deduction for

15        fact the foreign person's business activity outside
16        the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
17        person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
18        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person

20        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
21        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
22        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
23        required to apportion business income under different
24        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
25        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
26        extent that dividends were included in base income of

12            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
13            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
14            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
15            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
16            with respect to such interest; or
17                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
18            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
19            the taxpayer can establish, based on a

21            following:
22                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
23                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
24                to a person that is not a related member, and
25                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
26                interest expense between the taxpayer and the

4                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
5                terms; or
6                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
7            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
8            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
9            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
10            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
11            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
12                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
13            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
14            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
15            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
16            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
17            to the application or use of an alternative method
18            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
19                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
20            Director from making any other adjustment
21            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
22            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
23            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
24            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
25            and such regulations provide methods and standards
26            by which the Department will utilize its authority

1            under Section 404 of this Act; and
2            (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
3        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
4        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or

7        foreign person who would be a member of the same
8        unitary business group but for the fact that the
9        foreign person's business activity outside the United

11        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
12        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
13        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
14        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
15        from being included in the unitary business group
16        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
17        business income under different subsections of Section
18        304. The addition modification required by this
19        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
20        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
21        group for the same taxable year and received by the
22        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
23        business group (including amounts included in gross
24        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the

1        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
2        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
3        indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
4        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
5        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
6        modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
7        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
8        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
9        losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
10        indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
11        ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of

13        indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
14        transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
15        copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other

17        subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
18        patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
19        marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
20        similar types of intangible assets;
21            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
22                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
23            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
25            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
26            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,

1            to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
2            to such item; or
3                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
4            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
5            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
6            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
7            following:
8                    (a) the person during the same taxable
9                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
10                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
11                not a related member, and
12                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
13                intangible expense or cost between the
14                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
15                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
16                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
17                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
18                or
19                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
20            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
21            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
22            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
23            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
24            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
25            writing to the application or use of an alternative
26            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 366 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
2            Director from making any other adjustment
3            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
4            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
5            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
6            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
7            and such regulations provide methods and standards
8            by which the Department will utilize its authority
9            under Section 404 of this Act;
10            (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
11        31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance

13        deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
14        accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
15        person who would be a member of the same unitary
16        business group but for the fact that the person is
17        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
18        included in the unitary business group because he or
19        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
20        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
21        addition modification required by this subparagraph
22        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
23        included in base income of the unitary group for the
24        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
25        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group

4        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
5        directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The

8        modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or
9        Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;
10            (D-10) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

3    a corporation (other than a Subchapter S corporation),
4    trust, or estate is less than zero and addition

6    (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
7    subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for

13        corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
14        corporations filing a consolidated income tax return

16        taxable income determined as if such corporation had
17        filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
18        for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
19        for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
20        purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
21        taxable income shall be determined as if the election
22        provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue
23        Code had been in effect for all such years;
24            (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative

1        provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
2        Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
3        against offsetting losses from patronage activities
4        against income from nonpatronage activities; except
5        that a cooperative corporation or association may make
6        an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
7        of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
8        event such election is made, such losses shall be
9        computed and carried over in a manner consistent with
10        subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
11        apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
12        the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
13        for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
14        The election shall be effective for all taxable years
15        with original returns due on or after the date of the
16        election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
17        amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
18        to provide that the election shall be effective for
19        losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
20        occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,
21        the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
22        Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting
23        forth requirements for documenting the elections and
24        any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
25        used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
26        elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of

1        existing law;
2            (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
3        a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
4        an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
5        the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
6        corporation determined in accordance with Section
7        1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
8        taxable income shall take into account those items
9        which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
10        Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
11        a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
12        a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
13        Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
14        instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
15        effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
16        corporation determined in accordance with the federal
17        Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
18            (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
19        taxable income determined in accordance with Section
20        703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
21        income shall take into account those items which are
22        required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
23        but which would be taken into account by an individual
24        in calculating his taxable income.
25        (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
26    asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 380 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
2    business has been classified as business income and in a
3    later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
4    all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
5    year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
6    related to that asset or business that generated the
7    non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
8    business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
9    or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
10    using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
11    for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
12    taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
13    computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
14    the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
15    taxable years.

5        taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
6        such gain included in the amount determined under

8        (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
9            (A) If the fair market value of property referred
10        to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
11        1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
12        such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
13        fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
14        determining gain) for such property on that date
15        (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
16        effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
17        and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
18        respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
19        such property.
20            (B) If the fair market value of property referred
21        to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
22        August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
23        amount for such property is that amount which bears the
24        same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
25        property for federal income tax purposes for the
26        taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 382 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
2        property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
3        full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
4        period for the property.

3        1996, to all original returns, to all amended returns
4        filed no later than 30 days after the effective date of
5        this amendatory Act of 1996, and to all notices issued
6        on or before the effective date of this amendatory Act
7        of 1996 under subsection (a) of Section 903, subsection
8        (a) of Section 904, subsection (e) of Section 909, or
9        Section 912. A taxpayer that is a "financial
10        organization" that engages in any transaction with an

14        December 31, 1996, a taxpayer that falls within the

17        does not fall within the definition of a "financial
18        organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
19        the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may
20        irrevocably elect to apply the Proposed Regulations

22        Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted,
23        and in effect for all of those years. For purposes of

16        payroll factor has a denominator of zero). The
17        computation required by the preceding sentence shall,
18        in each case, involve the division of the member's
19        property, payroll, or revenue miles in the United
20        States, insurance premiums on property or risk in the
21        United States, or financial organization business
22        income from sources within the United States, as the
23        case may be, by the respective worldwide figures for
24        such items. Common ownership in the case of
25        corporations is the direct or indirect control or
26        ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 423 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        stock of the persons carrying on unitary business
2        activity. Unitary business activity can ordinarily be
3        illustrated where the activities of the members are:
4        (1) in the same general line (such as manufacturing,
5        wholesaling, retailing of tangible personal property,
6        insurance, transportation or finance); or (2) are
7        steps in a vertically structured enterprise or process
8        (such as the steps involved in the production of
9        natural resources, which might include exploration,
10        mining, refining, and marketing); and, in either
11        instance, the members are functionally integrated
12        through the exercise of strong centralized management
13        (where, for example, authority over such matters as
14        purchasing, financing, tax compliance, product line,
15        personnel, marketing and capital investment is not
16        left to each member).
17            (B) In no event, for taxable years ending prior to
18        December 31, 2017, shall any unitary business group
19        include members which are ordinarily required to
20        apportion business income under different subsections
21        of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or
22        after December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not
23        apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a
24        member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that
25        apportion business income under any of subsections
26        (b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 424 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        business group would, but for the preceding sentence,
2        include members that are ordinarily required to
3        apportion business income under different subsections
4        of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section 304
5        for which there are two or more members, there shall be
6        a separate unitary business group composed of such
7        members. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, a
8        member is "ordinarily required to apportion business
9        income" under a particular subsection of Section 304 if
10        it would be required to use the apportionment method
11        prescribed by such subsection except for the fact that
12        it derives business income solely from Illinois. As
13        used in this paragraph, for taxable years ending before
14        December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States" means
15        only the 50 states and the District of Columbia, but
16        does not include any territory or possession of the
17        United States or any area over which the United States
18        has asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights
19        with respect to the exploration for or exploitation of
20        natural resources. For taxable years ending on or after
21        December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States", as used
22        in this paragraph, means only the 50 states, the
23        District of Columbia, and any area over which the
24        United States has asserted jurisdiction or claimed
25        exclusive rights with respect to the exploration for or
26        exploitation of natural resources, but does not

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 425 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        include any territory or possession of the United
2        States.
3            (C) Holding companies.
4                (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a
5            "holding company" is a corporation (other than a
6            corporation that is a financial organization under
7            paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section
8            1501 because it is a bank holding company under the
9            provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
10            (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.) or because it is owned by
11            a bank or a bank holding company) that owns a
12            controlling interest in one or more other
13            taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during
14            the period that includes the taxable year and the 2
15            immediately preceding taxable years or, if the
16            corporation was formed during the current or
17            immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable
18            years in which the corporation has been in
19            existence, derived substantially all its gross
20            income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties,
21            fees or other charges received from controlled
22            taxpayers for the provision of services, and gains
23            on the sale or other disposition of interests in
24            controlled taxpayers or in property leased or
25            licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the
26            taxpayer in providing services to controlled

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 426 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1            taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses
2            other than expenses (including interest and other
3            costs of borrowing) incurred in connection with
4            the acquisition and holding of interests in
5            controlled taxpayers and in the provision of
6            services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing
7            or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
8                (ii) The income of a holding company which is a
9            member of more than one unitary business group
10            shall be included in each unitary business group of
11            which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
12            including in each unitary business group that
13            portion of the base income of the holding company
14            that bears the same proportion to the total base
15            income of the holding company as the gross receipts
16            of the unitary business group bears to the combined
17            gross receipts of all unitary business groups (in
18            both cases without regard to the holding company)
19            or on any other reasonable basis, consistently
20            applied.
21                (iii) A holding company shall apportion its
22            business income under the subsection of Section
23            304 used by the other members of its unitary
24            business group. The apportionment factors of a
25            holding company which would be a member of more
26            than one unitary business group shall be included

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 427 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1            with the apportionment factors of each unitary
2            business group of which it is a member on a pro
3            rata basis using the same method used in clause
4            (ii).
5                (iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C)
6            are intended to clarify existing law.
7            (D) If including the base income and factors of a
8        holding company in more than one unitary business group
9        under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect the
10        degree of integration between the holding company and
11        one or more of the unitary business groups, the
12        dependence of the holding company and one or more of
13        the unitary business groups upon each other, or the
14        contributions between the holding company and one or
15        more of the unitary business groups, the holding
16        company may petition the Director, under the
17        procedures provided under Section 304(f), for
18        permission to include all base income and factors of
19        the holding company only with members of a unitary
20        business group apportioning their business income
21        under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or
22        (d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the
23        holding company shall be included in a unitary business
24        group only with persons apportioning their business
25        income under the selected subsection of Section 304
26        until the Director grants a petition of the holding

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 428 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1        company either to be included in more than one unitary
2        business group under subparagraph (C) or to include its
3        base income and factors only with members of a unitary
4        business group apportioning their business income
5        under a different subsection of Section 304.
6            (E) If the unitary business group members'
7        accounting periods differ, the common parent's
8        accounting period or, if there is no common parent, the
9        accounting period of the member that is expected to
10        have, on a recurring basis, the greatest Illinois
11        income tax liability must be used to determine whether
12        to use the apportionment method provided in subsection
13        (a) or subsection (h) of Section 304. The prohibition
14        against membership in a unitary business group for
15        taxpayers ordinarily required to apportion income
16        under different subsections of Section 304 does not
17        apply to taxpayers required to apportion income under
18        subsection (a) and subsection (h) of Section 304. The
19        provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax
20        years ending on or after December 31, 1998.
21        (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term "Subchapter S
22    corporation" means a corporation for which there is in
23    effect an election under Section 1362 of the Internal
24    Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to
25    opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S Revision Act
26    of 1982 and have applied instead the prior federal

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 429 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
2        (30) Foreign person. The term "foreign person" means
3    any person who is a nonresident alien individual and any
4    nonindividual entity, regardless of where created or
5    organized, whose business activity outside the United
6    States is 80% or more of the entity's total business
7    activity.
 
8    (b) Other definitions.
9        (1) Words denoting number, gender, and so forth, when
10    used in this Act, where not otherwise distinctly expressed
11    or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof:
12            (A) Words importing the singular include and apply
13        to several persons, parties or things;
14            (B) Words importing the plural include the
15        singular; and
16            (C) Words importing the masculine gender include
17        the feminine as well.
18        (2) "Company" or "association" as including successors
19    and assigns. The word "company" or "association", when used
20    in reference to a corporation, shall be deemed to embrace
21    the words "successors and assigns of such company or
22    association", and in like manner as if these last-named
23    words, or words of similar import, were expressed.
24        (3) Other terms. Any term used in any Section of this
25    Act with respect to the application of, or in connection

ARTICLE 25. AMENDATORY PROVISIONS; STATE TAX LIEN REGISTRY

 
5    Section 25-5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by
6changing Sections 1102, 1103, and 1105 as follows:
 
7    (35 ILCS 5/1102)  (from Ch. 120, par. 11-1102)
8    Sec. 1102. Jeopardy Assessments.
9    (a) Jeopardy assessment and lien.
10        (1) Assessment. If the Department finds that a taxpayer
11    is about to depart from the State, or to conceal himself or
12    his property, or to do any other act tending to prejudice
13    or to render wholly or partly ineffectual proceedings to
14    collect any amount of tax or penalties imposed under this
15    Act unless court proceedings are brought without delay, or
16    if the Department finds that the collection of such amount
17    will be jeopardized by delay, the Department shall give the
18    taxpayer notice of such findings and shall make demand for
19    immediate return and payment of such amount, whereupon such
20    amount shall be deemed assessed and shall become
21    immediately due and payable.
22        (2) Filing of lien. If the taxpayer, within 5 days
23    after such notice (or within such extension of time as the

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 431 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1    Department may grant), does not comply with such notice or
2    show to the Department that the findings in such notice are
3    erroneous, the Department may file a notice of jeopardy
4    assessment lien in the State Tax Lien Registry office of
5    the recorder of the county in which any property of the
6    taxpayer may be located and shall notify the taxpayer of
7    such filing. Such jeopardy assessment lien shall have the
8    same scope and effect as a statutory lien under this Act.
9    The taxpayer is liable for any administrative fee imposed
10    by the Department by rule in connection with the State Tax
11    Lien Registry the filing fee incurred by the Department for
12    filing the lien and the filing fee incurred by the
13    Department to file the release of that lien. The filing
14    fees shall be paid to the Department in addition to payment
15    of the tax, penalty, and interest included in the amount of
16    the lien.
17    (b) Termination of taxable year. In the case of a tax for a
18current taxable year, the Director shall declare the taxable
19period of the taxpayer immediately terminated and his notice
20and demand for a return and immediate payment of the tax shall
21relate to the period declared terminated, including therein
22income accrued and deductions incurred up to the date of
23termination if not otherwise properly includible or deductible
24in respect of such taxable year.
25    (c) Protest. If the taxpayer believes that he does not owe
26some or all of the amount for which the jeopardy assessment

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 432 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1lien against him has been filed, or that no jeopardy to the
2revenue in fact exists, he may protest within 20 days after
3being notified by the Department of the filing of such jeopardy
4assessment lien and request a hearing, whereupon the Department
5shall hold a hearing in conformity with the provisions of
6section 908 and, pursuant thereto, shall notify the taxpayer of
7its decision as to whether or not such jeopardy assessment lien
8will be released.

11    Sec. 1103. Filing and Priority of Liens.
12    (a) Filing in the State Tax Lien Registry with Recorder.
13Nothing in this Article shall be construed to give the
14Department a preference over the rights of any bona fide
15purchaser, holder of a security interest, mechanics lienor,
16mortgagee, or judgment lien creditor arising prior to the
17filing of a regular notice of lien or a notice of jeopardy
18assessment lien in the State Tax Lien Registry office of the
19recorder in the county in which the property subject to the
20lien is located. For purposes of this Section section, the term
21"bona fide," shall not include any mortgage of real or personal
22property or any other credit transaction that results in the
23mortgagee or the holder of the security acting as trustee for
24unsecured creditors of the taxpayer mentioned in the notice of
25lien who executed such chattel or real property mortgage or the

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 433 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1document evidencing such credit transaction. Such lien shall be
2inferior to the lien of general taxes, special assessments and
3special taxes heretofore or hereafter levied by any political
4subdivision of this State.
5    (b) Filing in the State Tax Lien Registry with Registrar.
6In case title to land to be affected by the notice of lien or
7notice of jeopardy assessment lien is registered under the
8provisions of "An Act concerning land titles," approved May 1,
91897, as amended, such notice shall also be filed in the State
10Tax Lien Registry office of the Registrar of Titles of the
11county within which the property subject to the lien is
12situated and shall be entered upon the register of titles as a
13memorial of charge upon each folium of the register of titles
14affected by such notice, and the Department shall not have a
15preference over the rights of any bona fide purchaser,
16mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder arising prior
17to the registration of such notice.
18    (c) Index. The Department of Revenue shall maintain a State
19Tax Lien Index of all tax liens filed in the State Tax Lien
20Registry as provided for by the State Tax Lien Registration
21Act. The recorder of each county shall procure a file labeled
22"State Tax Lien Notices" and an index book labeled "State Tax
23Lien Index." When notice of any lien or jeopardy assessment
24lien is presented to him for filing, he shall file it in
25numerical order in the file and shall enter it alphabetically
26in the index. The entry shall show the name and last known

2the notice, the date and hour of filing, whether it is a
3regular lien or a jeopardy assessment lien, and the amount of
4tax and penalty due and unpaid, plus the amount of interest due
5at the time when the notice of lien or jeopardy assessment is

7    (d) (Blank). No recorder or registrar of titles of any
8county shall require that the Department pay any costs or fees
9in connection with recordation of any notice or other document
10filed by the Department under this Act at the time such notice
11or other document is presented for recordation. The recorder or
12registrar of each county, in order to receive payment for fees
13or costs incurred by the Department, shall present the
14Department with monthly statements indicating the amount of
15fees and costs incurred by the Department and for which no
16payment has been received. This amendatory Act of 1987 applies
17to all liens heretofore or hereafter filed.
18    (e) The taxpayer is liable for any the filing fees imposed
19fee incurred by the Department for filing the lien in the State
20Tax Lien Registry and any the filing fees imposed fee incurred
21by the Department for to file the release of that lien. The
22filing fees shall be paid to the Department in addition to
23payment of the tax, penalty, and interest included in the
24amount of the lien.

13    (b) Judicial determination. If on judicial review the final
14judgment of the court is that the taxpayer does not owe some or
15all of the amount secured by the lien against him, or that no
16jeopardy to the revenue exists, the Department shall release
17its lien to the extent of such finding of nonliability, or to
18the extent of such finding of no jeopardy to the revenue. The
19taxpayer shall, however, be liable for the filing fee imposed
20paid by the Department to file the lien and the filing fee
21imposed to release required to file a release of the lien. The
22filing fees shall be paid to the Department.

14        (2) to the extent that such lien shall become
15    unenforceable;
16        (3) to the extent that the amount of such lien is paid
17    by the person whose property is subject to such lien,
18    together with any interest and penalty which may become due

16release of lien issued by the Department is filed in the State
17Tax Lien Registry, the Department presented for filing in the

9    Section 25-10. The Retailers' Occupation Tax Act is amended
10by changing Sections 5a, 5b, and 5c as follows:
 
11    (35 ILCS 120/5a)  (from Ch. 120, par. 444a)
12    Sec. 5a. The Department shall have a lien for the tax
13herein imposed or any portion thereof, or for any penalty
14provided for in this Act, or for any amount of interest which
15may be due as provided for in Section 5 of this Act, upon all
16the real and personal property of any person to whom a final
17assessment or revised final assessment has been issued as
18provided in this Act, or whenever a return is filed without
19payment of the tax or penalty shown therein to be due,
20including all such property of such persons acquired after
21receipt of such assessment or filing of such return. The

1lien. The filing fees shall be paid to the Department in
2addition to payment of the tax, penalty, and interest included
3in the amount of the lien.
4    However, where the lien arises because of the issuance of a
5final assessment or revised final assessment by the Department,
6such lien shall not attach and the notice hereinafter referred
7to in this Section shall not be filed until all proceedings in
8court for review of such final assessment or revised final
9assessment have terminated or the time for the taking thereof
10has expired without such proceedings being instituted.
11    Upon the granting of a rehearing or departmental review
12pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 of this Act after a lien has
13attached, such lien shall remain in full force except to the

17shall terminate unless a notice of lien is filed, as provided
18in Section 5b hereof, within 3 years from the date all
19proceedings in court for the review of such final assessment
20have terminated or the time for the taking thereof has expired
21without such proceedings being instituted, or (in the case of a
22revised final assessment issued pursuant to a rehearing or

1where the lien results from the filing of a return without
2payment of the tax or penalty shown therein to be due, the lien
3shall terminate unless a notice of lien is filed, as provided
4in Section 5b hereof, within 3 years from the date when such
5return is filed with the Department: Provided that the time
6limitation period on the Department's right to file a notice of
7lien shall not run (1) during any period of time in which the
8order of any court has the effect of enjoining or restraining
9the Department from filing such notice of lien, or (2) during
10the term of a repayment plan that taxpayer has entered into
11with the Department, as long as taxpayer remains in compliance
12with the terms of the repayment plan.
13    If the Department finds that a taxpayer is about to depart
14from the State, or to conceal himself or his property, or to do
15any other act tending to prejudice or to render wholly or
16partly ineffectual proceedings to collect such tax unless such
17proceedings are brought without delay, or if the Department
18finds that the collection of the amount due from any taxpayer
19will be jeopardized by delay, the Department shall give the
20taxpayer notice of such findings and shall make demand for
21immediate return and payment of such tax, whereupon such tax
22shall become immediately due and payable. If the taxpayer,
23within 5 days after such notice (or within such extension of
24time as the Department may grant), does not comply with such
25notice or show to the Department that the findings in such
26notice are erroneous, the Department may file a notice of

1jeopardy assessment lien in the State Tax Lien Registry office
2of the recorder of the county in which any property of the
3taxpayer may be located and shall notify the taxpayer of such
4filing. Such jeopardy assessment lien shall have the same scope
5and effect as the statutory lien hereinbefore provided for in
6this Section.
7    If the taxpayer believes that he does not owe some or all
8of the tax for which the jeopardy assessment lien against him
9has been filed, or that no jeopardy to the revenue in fact
10exists, he may protest within 20 days after being notified by
11the Department of the filing of such jeopardy assessment lien
12and request a hearing, whereupon the Department shall hold a
13hearing in conformity with the provisions of this Act and,
14pursuant thereto, shall notify the taxpayer of its findings as
15to whether or not such jeopardy assessment lien will be
16released. If not, and if the taxpayer is aggrieved by this
17decision, he may file an action for judicial review of such
18final determination of the Department in accordance with
19Section 12 of this Act and the Administrative Review Law.
20    On and after July 1, 2013, protests concerning matters that
21are subject to the jurisdiction of the Illinois Independent Tax
22Tribunal shall be filed with the Tribunal, and hearings on
23those matters shall be held before the Tribunal in accordance
24with the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal Act of 2012. The
25Tribunal shall notify the taxpayer of its findings as to
26whether or not such jeopardy assessment lien will be released.

1If not, and if the taxpayer is aggrieved by this decision, he
2may file an action for judicial review of such final
3determination of the Department in accordance with Section 12
4of this Act and the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal Act of
52012.
6    With respect to protests filed with the Department prior to
7July 1, 2013 that would otherwise be subject to the
8jurisdiction of the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal, the
9taxpayer may elect to be subject to the provisions of the
10Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal Act of 2012 at any time on or
11after July 1, 2013, but not later than 30 days after the date
12on which the protest was filed. If made, the election shall be
13irrevocable.
14    If, pursuant to such hearing (or after an independent
15determination of the facts by the Department without a
16hearing), the Department or the Tribunal determines that some
17or all of the tax covered by the jeopardy assessment lien is
18not owed by the taxpayer, or that no jeopardy to the revenue
19exists, or if on judicial review the final judgment of the
20court is that the taxpayer does not owe some or all of the tax
21covered by the jeopardy assessment lien against him, or that no
22jeopardy to the revenue exists, the Department shall release
23its jeopardy assessment lien to the extent of such finding of
24nonliability for the tax, or to the extent of such finding of
25no jeopardy to the revenue.

4remittance an amount representing the filing fee for the lien
5and the filing fee for the release of that lien. The Department
6shall file that release of lien in the State Tax Lien Registry
7with the recorder of the county where that lien was filed.

11lienholder, mortgagee, or judgment lien creditor arising prior
12to the filing of a regular notice of lien or a notice of
13jeopardy assessment lien in the State Tax Lien Registry office

15the lien is located: Provided, however, that the word "bona
16fide", as used in this Section shall not include any mortgage
17of real or personal property or any other credit transaction
18that results in the mortgagee or the holder of the security
19acting as trustee for unsecured creditors of the taxpayer
20mentioned in the notice of lien who executed such chattel or
21real property mortgage or the document evidencing such credit
22transaction. Such lien shall be inferior to the lien of general
23taxes, special assessments and special taxes heretofore or
24hereafter levied by any political subdivision of this State.

6memorial or charge upon each folium of the register of titles
7affected by such notice, and the Department shall not have a
8preference over the rights of any bona fide purchaser,
9mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lien holder arising prior
10to the registration of such notice: Provided, however, that the
11word "bona fide" shall not include any mortgage of real or
12personal property or any other credit transaction that results
13in the mortgagee or the holder of the security acting as
14trustee for unsecured creditors of the taxpayer mentioned in

21    (a) Assessment. An assessment for a dealer not possessing
22valid stamps or other official indicia showing that the tax has
23been paid shall be considered a jeopardy assessment or
24collection, as provided by Section 1102 of the Illinois Income

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 449 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1Tax Act. The Department shall determine and assess a tax and
2applicable penalties and interest according to the best
3judgment and information available to the Department, which
4amount so fixed by the Department shall be prima facie correct
5and shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the
6amount of tax due, as shown in such determination. When,
7according to the best judgment and information available to the
8Department with regard to all real and personal property and
9rights to property of the dealer, there is no reasonable
10expectation of collection of the amount of tax and penalty to
11be assessed, the Department may issue an assessment under this
12Section for the amount of tax without penalty.
13    (b) Filing of Lien. Upon issuance of a jeopardy assessment
14as provided by subsection (a) of this Section, the Department
15may file a notice of jeopardy assessment lien in the State Tax
16Lien Registry office of the recorder of the county in which any
17property of the taxpayer may be located and shall notify the
18taxpayer of such filing.
19    (c) Protest. If the taxpayer believes that he does not owe
20some or all of the amount for which the jeopardy assessment
21lien against him has been filed, he may protest within 20 days
22after being notified by the Department of the filing of such
23jeopardy assessment lien and request a hearing, whereupon the
24Department shall hold a hearing in conformity with the
25provisions of Section 908 of the Illinois Income Tax Act and,
26pursuant thereto, shall notify the taxpayer of its decision as

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 450 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1to whether or not such jeopardy assessment lien will be
2released.
3    After the expiration of the period within which the person
4assessed may file an action for judicial review without such
5action being filed, a certified copy of the final assessment or
6revised final assessment of the Department may be filed with
7the Circuit Court of the county in which the dealer resides, or
8of Cook County in the case of a dealer who does not reside in
9this State, or in the county where the violation of this Act
10took place. The certified copy of the final assessment or
11revised final assessment shall be accompanied by a
12certification which recites facts that are sufficient to show
13that the Department complied with the jurisdictional
14requirements of the Act in arriving at its final assessment or
15its revised final assessment and that the dealer had this
16opportunity for an administrative hearing and for judicial
17review, whether he availed himself or herself of either or both
18of these opportunities or not. If the court is satisfied that
19the Department complied with the jurisdictional requirements
20of the Act in arriving at its final assessment or its revised
21final assessment and that the taxpayer had his opportunity for
22an administrative hearing and for judicial review, whether he
23availed himself of either or both of these opportunities or
24not, the court shall render judgment in favor of the Department
25and against the taxpayer for the amount shown to be due by the
26final assessment or the revised final assessment, plus any

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 451 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1interest which may be due, and such judgment shall be entered
2in the judgment docket of the court. Such judgment shall bear
3the same rate of interest and shall have the same effect as
4other judgments. The judgment may be enforced, and all laws
5applicable to sales for the enforcement of a judgment shall be
6applicable to sales made under such judgments. The Department
7shall file the certified copy of its assessment, as herein
8provided, with the Circuit Court within 2 years after such
9assessment becomes final except when the taxpayer consents in
10writing to an extension of such filing period, and except that
11the time limitation period on the Department's right to file
12the certified copy of its assessment with the Circuit Court
13shall not run during any period of time in which the order of
14any court has the effect of enjoining or restraining the
15Department from filing such certified copy of its assessment
16with the Circuit Court.
17    If, when the cause of action for a proceeding in court
18accrues against a person, he or she is out of the State, the
19action may be commenced within the times herein limited, after
20his or her coming into or returning to the State; and if, after
21the cause of action accrues, he or she departs from and remains
22out of the State, the time of his or her absence from the
23State, the time of his or her absence is no part of the time
24limited for the commencement of the action; but the foregoing
25provisions concerning absence from the State shall not apply to
26any case in which, at the time the cause of action accrues, the

1party against whom the cause of action accrues is not a
2resident of this State. The time within which a court action is
3to be commenced by the Department hereunder shall not run from
4the date the taxpayer files a petition in bankruptcy under the
5Federal Bankruptcy Act until 30 days after notice of
6termination or expiration of the automatic stay imposed by the
7Federal Bankruptcy Act.
8    No claim shall be filed against the estate of any deceased
9person or any person under legal disability for any tax or
10penalty or part of either, or interest, except in the manner
11prescribed and within the time limited by the Probate Act of
121975, as amended.
13    The collection of tax or penalty or interest by any means
14provided for herein shall not be a bar to any prosecution under
15this Act.
16    In addition to any penalty provided for in this Act, any
17amount of tax which is not paid when due shall bear interest at
18the rate determined in accordance with the Uniform Penalty and
19Interest Act, per month or fraction thereof from the date when
20such tax becomes past due until such tax is paid or a judgment
21therefor is obtained by the Department. If the time for making
22or completing an audit of a taxpayer's books and records is
23extended with the taxpayer's consent, at the request of and for
24the convenience of the Department, beyond the date on which the
25statute of limitations upon the issuance of a notice of tax
26liability by the Department otherwise run, no interest shall

 

 

10000SB0009ham003- 453 -LRB100 06347 HLH 27908 a

1accrue during the period of such extension. Interest shall be
2collected in the same manner and as part of the tax.
3    If the Department determines that an amount of tax or
4penalty or interest was incorrectly assessed, whether as the
5result of a mistake of fact or an error of law, the Department
6shall waive the amount of tax or penalty or interest that
7accrued due to the incorrect assessment.
