8 amended by changing Section 3-3 as follows:
9 (35 ILCS 735/3-3) (from Ch. 120, par. 2603-3)
10 Sec. 3-3. Penalty for failure to file or pay.
11 (a) This subsection (a) is applicable before January 1,
12 1996. A penalty of 5% of the tax required to be shown due on
13 a return shall be imposed for failure to file the tax return
14 on or before the due date prescribed for filing determined
15 with regard for any extension of time for filing (penalty for
16 late filing or nonfiling). If any unprocessable return is
17 corrected and filed within 21 days after notice by the
18 Department, the late filing or nonfiling penalty shall not
19 apply. If a penalty for late filing or nonfiling is imposed
20 in addition to a penalty for late payment, the total penalty
21 due shall be the sum of the late filing penalty and the
22 applicable late payment penalty. Beginning on the effective
23 date of this amendatory Act of 1995, in the case of any type
24 of tax return required to be filed more frequently than
25 annually, when the failure to file the tax return on or
26 before the date prescribed for filing (including any
27 extensions) is shown to be nonfraudulent and has not occurred
28 in the 2 years immediately preceding the failure to file on
29 the prescribed due date, the penalty imposed by section
30 3-3(a) shall be abated.
31 (a-5) This subsection (a-5) is applicable on and after
32 January 1, 1996. A penalty equal to 2% of the tax required to
-6- LRB9000732KDcdam
1 be shown due on a return, up to a maximum amount of $250,
2 determined without regard to any part of the tax that is paid
3 on time or by any credit that was properly allowable on the
4 date the return was required to be filed, shall be imposed
5 for failure to file the tax return on or before the due date
6 prescribed for filing determined with regard for any
7 extension of time for filing. However, if any return is not
8 filed within 30 days after notice of nonfiling mailed by the
9 Department to the last known address of the taxpayer
10 contained in Department records, an additional penalty amount
11 shall be imposed equal to the greater of $250 or 2% of the
12 tax shown on the return. However, the additional penalty
13 amount may not exceed $5,000 and is determined without regard
14 to any part of the tax that is paid on time or by any credit
15 that was properly allowable on the date the return was
16 required to be filed (penalty for late filing or nonfiling).
17 If any unprocessable return is corrected and filed within 30
18 days after notice by the Department, the late filing or
19 nonfiling penalty shall not apply. If a penalty for late
20 filing or nonfiling is imposed in addition to a penalty for
21 late payment, the total penalty due shall be the sum of the
22 late filing penalty and the applicable late payment penalty.
23 In the case of any type of tax return required to be filed
24 more frequently than annually, when the failure to file the
25 tax return on or before the date prescribed for filing
26 (including any extensions) is shown to be nonfraudulent and
27 has not occurred in the 2 years immediately preceding the
28 failure to file on the prescribed due date, the penalty
29 imposed by section 3-3(a) shall be abated.
30 (b) A penalty of 15% of the tax shown on the return or
31 the tax required to be shown due on the return shall be
32 imposed for failure to pay:
33 (1) the tax shown due on the return on or before
34 the due date prescribed for payment of that tax, an
-7- LRB9000732KDcdam
1 amount of underpayment of estimated tax, or an amount
2 that is reported in an amended return other than an
3 amended return timely filed as required by subsection (b)
4 of Section 506 of the Illinois Income Tax Act (penalty
5 for late payment or nonpayment of admitted liability); or
6 (2) the full amount of any tax required to be shown
7 due on a return and which is not shown (penalty for late
8 payment or nonpayment of additional liability), within 30
9 days after a notice of arithmetic error, notice and
10 demand, or a final assessment is issued by the
11 Department. In the case of a final assessment arising
12 following a protest and hearing, the 30-day period shall
13 not begin until all proceedings in court for review of
14 the final assessment have terminated or the period for
15 obtaining a review has expired without proceedings for a
16 review having been instituted. In the case of a notice
17 of tax liability that becomes a final assessment without
18 a protest and hearing, the penalty provided in this
19 paragraph (2) shall be imposed at the expiration of the
20 period provided for the filing of a protest.
21 (c) For purposes of the late payment penalties, the
22 basis of the penalty shall be the tax shown or required to be
23 shown on a return, whichever is applicable, reduced by any
24 part of the tax which is paid on time and by any credit which
25 was properly allowable on the date the return was required to
26 be filed.
27 (d) A penalty shall be applied to the tax required to be
28 shown even if that amount is less than the tax shown on the
29 return.
30 (e) If both a subsection (b)(1) penalty and a subsection
31 (b)(2) penalty are assessed against the same return, the
32 subsection (b)(2) penalty shall be assessed against only the
33 additional tax found to be due.
34 (f) If the taxpayer has failed to file the return, the
-8- LRB9000732KDcdam
1 Department shall determine the correct tax according to its
2 best judgment and information, which amount shall be prima
3 facie evidence of the correctness of the tax due.
4 (g) The time within which to file a return or pay an
5 amount of tax due without imposition of a penalty does not
6 extend the time within which to file a protest to a notice of
7 tax liability or a notice of deficiency.
8 (h) No return shall be determined to be unprocessable
9 because of the omission of any information requested on the
10 return pursuant to Section 39b53 of the Civil Administrative
11 Code of Illinois.
