LRB9112104SMdv
1 AN ACT in relation to taxes.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
5 Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:
6 (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
7 Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in
8 this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
9 6.25% of either the selling price or the fair market value,
10 if any, of the tangible personal property. In all cases
11 where property functionally used or consumed is the same as
12 the property that was purchased at retail, then the tax is
13 imposed on the selling price of the property. In all cases
14 where property functionally used or consumed is a by-product
15 or waste product that has been refined, manufactured, or
16 produced from property purchased at retail, then the tax is
17 imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
18 specific property so used in this State or on the selling
19 price of the property purchased at retail. For purposes of
20 this Section "fair market value" means the price at which
21 property would change hands between a willing buyer and a
22 willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
23 sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant
24 facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
25 sales by the taxpayer of the same property as that
26 functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such sales
27 by the taxpayer, then comparable sales or purchases of
28 property of like kind and character in Illinois.
29 With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of
30 the Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
31 3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of
-2- LRB9112104SMdv
1 1.25%. If, however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
2 fuel and gasohol under the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax
3 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers'
4 Occupation Tax Act during the period from January 1, 2001
5 through December 31, 2001 are not at least 15% more than the
6 aggregate tax revenues from motor fuel and gasohol under
7 those Acts during the period from January 1, 2000 through
8 December 31, 2000, then beginning January 1, 2004 the tax is
9 imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.
10 With respect to gasohol, the tax imposed by this Act
11 applies to 70% of the proceeds of sales made on or after
12 January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003, and to 100% of the
13 proceeds of sales made thereafter.
14 With respect to food for human consumption that is to be
15 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
16 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been
17 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
18 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances,
19 modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
20 it usable by a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
21 materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
22 use, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For the purposes
23 of this Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete,
24 finished, ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether
25 carbonated or not, including but not limited to soda water,
26 cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
27 other preparations commonly known as soft drinks of whatever
28 kind or description that are contained in any closed or
29 sealed bottle, can, carton, or container, regardless of size.
30 "Soft drinks" does not include coffee, tea, non-carbonated
31 water, infant formula, milk or milk products as defined in
32 the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
33 containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
34 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, "food
-3- LRB9112104SMdv
1 for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
2 where it is sold" includes all food sold through a vending
3 machine, except soft drinks and food products that are
4 dispensed hot from a vending machine, regardless of the
5 location of the vending machine.
6 If the property that is purchased at retail from a
7 retailer is acquired outside Illinois and used outside
8 Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
9 taxable under this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax
10 is computed shall be reduced by an amount that represents a
11 reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
12 out-of-state use.
13 (Source: P.A. 90-605, eff. 6-30-98; 90-606, eff. 6-30-98;
14 91-51, eff. 6-30-99.)
15 (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
16 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft,
17 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
18 with an agency of this State, each retailer required or
19 authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
20 to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
21 provided) at the time when he is required to file his return
22 for the period during which such tax was collected, less a
23 discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
24 after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
25 greater, which is allowed to reimburse the retailer for
26 expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
27 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
28 data to the Department on request. In the case of retailers
29 who report and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
30 basis, as provided in this Section, such discount shall be
31 taken with each such tax remittance instead of when such
32 retailer files his periodic return. A retailer need not
33 remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
-4- LRB9112104SMdv
1 that he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
2 by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the
3 sale of the same property.
4 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
5 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
6 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
7 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
8 return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
9 as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
10 are required to be registered with an agency of this State),
11 may collect for each tax return period, only the tax
12 applicable to that part of the selling price actually
13 received during such tax return period.
14 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
15 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall
16 file a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return
17 shall be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and
18 shall furnish such information as the Department may
19 reasonably require.
20 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
21 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
22 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
23 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
24 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
25 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
26 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
27 stating:
28 1. The name of the seller;
29 2. The address of the principal place of business
30 from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
31 personal property at retail in this State;
32 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
33 him during the preceding calendar month from sales of
34 tangible personal property by him during such preceding
-5- LRB9112104SMdv
1 calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
2 sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
3 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
4 this Act;
5 5. The amount of tax due;
6 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
7 6. Such other reasonable information as the
8 Department may require.
9 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
10 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
11 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
12 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
13 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
14 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
15 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
16 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
17 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
18 make all payments required by rules of the Department by
19 electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
20 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
21 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
22 Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
23 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000
24 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
25 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "annual
26 tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
27 under this Act, and under all other State and local
28 occupation and use tax laws administered by the Department,
29 for the immediately preceding calendar year. The term
30 "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
31 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
32 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by
33 the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
34 divided by 12.
-6- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
2 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
3 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
4 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
5 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
6 1.
7 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
8 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
9 with the permission of the Department.
10 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
11 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
12 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
13 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
14 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
15 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
16 requirements of this Section.
17 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
18 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the
19 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
20 Act, the Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the
21 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a
22 return with the Department each month by the 20th day of the
23 month next following the month during which such tax
24 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the
25 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of
26 the month during which such liability is incurred. On and
27 after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax
28 liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
29 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
30 Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the preceding
31 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
32 Department each month by the 20th day of the month next
33 following the month during which such tax liability is
34 incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or
-7- LRB9112104SMdv
1 before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of or the month
2 during which such liability is incurred. If the month during
3 which such tax liability is incurred began prior to January
4 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of
5 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an amount
6 set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average
7 monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department for the
8 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month
9 of highest liability and the month of lowest liability in
10 such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
11 liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and
12 prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
13 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
14 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
15 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
16 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
17 January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
18 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
19 liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
20 for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the
21 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
22 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
23 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in
24 an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability
25 for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
26 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
27 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
28 January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment
29 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
30 liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
31 for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of
32 the taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly
33 reporting period. The amount of such quarter monthly
34 payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
-8- LRB9112104SMdv
1 the taxpayer's return for that month. Before October 1,
2 2000, once applicable, the requirement of the making of
3 quarter monthly payments to the Department shall continue
4 until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
5 Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
6 (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
7 lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
8 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
9 computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding
10 complete calendar quarter period is less than $10,000.
11 However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
12 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
13 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
14 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
15 will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
16 taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
17 taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000,
18 once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
19 monthly payments to the Department shall continue until such
20 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
21 the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
22 month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
23 is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
24 liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
25 quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
26 is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
27 Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
28 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
29 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
30 foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold
31 stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department
32 for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The
33 Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
34 unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and
-9- LRB9112104SMdv
1 not likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly
2 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
3 this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
4 and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
5 and the amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and
6 timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
7 made payments for that month to the Department in excess of
8 the minimum payments previously due as provided in this
9 Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
10 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
11 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
12 than a calendar monthly basis.
13 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
14 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
15 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
16 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
17 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit
18 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment,
19 which memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the
20 Department in payment of tax liability subsequently to be
21 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
22 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
23 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
24 or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
25 rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Department,
26 except that if such excess payment is shown on an original
27 monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
28 memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
29 If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such
30 excess payment against tax liability subsequently to be
31 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
32 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
33 Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
34 rules and regulations prescribed by the Department. If the
-10- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Department subsequently determines that all or any part of
2 the credit taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
3 taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
4 by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
5 and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
6 penalties and interest on such difference.
7 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
8 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
9 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
10 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
11 with the return for January, February, and March of a given
12 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
13 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
14 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
15 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
16 the return for October, November and December of a given year
17 being due by January 20 of the following year.
18 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
19 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
20 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
21 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
22 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
23 20 of the following year.
24 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
25 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
26 monthly returns.
27 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
28 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
29 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
30 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
31 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
32 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
33 month after discontinuing such business.
34 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
-11- LRB9112104SMdv
1 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
2 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
3 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
4 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
5 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
6 personal property which the retailer sells, except that
7 where, in the same transaction, a retailer of aircraft,
8 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
9 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
10 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
11 the purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report the
12 transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
13 trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on
14 the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
15 For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
16 Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
17 the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft,
18 or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
19 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
20 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
21 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
22 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
23 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
24 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
25 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
26 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
27 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
28 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
29 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
30 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
31 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
32 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
33 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
34 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
-12- LRB9112104SMdv
1 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
2 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
3 the property sold; such other information as is required in
4 Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
5 information as the Department may reasonably require.
6 The transaction reporting return in the case of
7 watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
8 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
9 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
10 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
11 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
12 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
13 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
14 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
15 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
16 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
17 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
18 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
19 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
20 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of
21 the property sold, and such other information as the
22 Department may reasonably require.
23 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
24 later than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item
25 that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any
26 time sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The
27 transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of
28 exemption from the tax that is imposed by this Act may be
29 transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
30 which, or State officer with whom, the tangible personal
31 property must be titled or registered (if titling or
32 registration is required) if the Department and such agency
33 or State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
34 the processing of applications for title or registration.
-13- LRB9112104SMdv
1 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
2 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
3 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
4 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
5 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax
6 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
7 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
8 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
9 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
10 personal property that is involved (if titling or
11 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
12 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
13 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
14 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
15 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
16 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
17 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
18 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
19 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
20 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
21 mandate of this paragraph.
22 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
23 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
24 of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
25 the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user
26 has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
27 to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the
28 Department being satisfied of the truth of such
29 certification) transmit the information required by the
30 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
31 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
32 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
33 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
34 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
-14- LRB9112104SMdv
1 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
2 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
3 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
4 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
5 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
6 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
7 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
8 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells
9 and the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
10 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof
11 to the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
12 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
13 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
14 to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
15 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use
16 tax which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to
17 the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
18 tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department
19 by such retailer. If the retailer has not previously
20 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he is
21 entitled to no deduction under this Act upon refunding such
22 tax to the purchaser.
23 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall
24 also include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the
25 total tax covered by such return upon the selling price of
26 tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from a
27 retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
28 collected from the retailer filing such return, and such
29 retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
30 when filing such return.
31 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
32 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
33 joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
34 file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
-15- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
2 required by both Acts on the one form.
3 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
4 with the Department under separate registration under this
5 Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
6 single return covering all such registered businesses, but

22 changing Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:
23 (35 ILCS 110/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.33-10)
24 Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in
25 this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
26 6.25% of the selling price of tangible personal property
27 transferred as an incident to the sale of service, but, for
28 the purpose of computing this tax, in no event shall the
29 selling price be less than the cost price of the property to
30 the serviceman.
31 With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of
32 the Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
-22- LRB9112104SMdv
1 3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of
2 1.25%. If, however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
3 fuel and gasohol under the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax
4 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers'
5 Occupation Tax Act during the period from January 1, 2001
6 through December 31, 2001 are not at least 15% more than the
7 aggregate tax revenues from motor fuel and gasohol under
8 those Acts during the period from January 1, 2000 through
9 December 31, 2000, then beginning January 1, 2004 the tax is
10 imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.
11 With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act,
12 the tax imposed by this Act applies to 70% of the selling
13 price of property transferred as an incident to the sale of
14 service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
15 and to 100% of the selling price thereafter.
16 At the election of any registered serviceman made for
17 each fiscal year, sales of service in which the aggregate
18 annual cost price of tangible personal property transferred
19 as an incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or
20 75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
21 or servicemen engaged in graphic arts production, of the
22 aggregate annual total gross receipts from all sales of
23 service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be based on the
24 serviceman's cost price of the tangible personal property
25 transferred as an incident to the sale of those services.
26 The tax shall be imposed at the rate of 1% on food
27 prepared for immediate consumption and transferred incident
28 to a sale of service subject to this Act or the Service
29 Occupation Tax Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
30 Licensing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, or the Child Care
31 Act of 1969. The tax shall also be imposed at the rate of 1%
32 on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
33 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
34 soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate
-23- LRB9112104SMdv
1 consumption and is not otherwise included in this paragraph)
2 and prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs,
3 medical appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for the
4 purpose of rendering it usable by a disabled person, and
5 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used
6 by diabetics, for human use. For the purposes of this
7 Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete, finished,
8 ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not,
9 including but not limited to soda water, cola, fruit juice,
10 vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all other preparations
11 commonly known as soft drinks of whatever kind or description
12 that are contained in any closed or sealed bottle, can,
13 carton, or container, regardless of size. "Soft drinks" does
14 not include coffee, tea, non-carbonated water, infant
15 formula, milk or milk products as defined in the Grade A
16 Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks containing
17 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
18 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, "food
19 for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
20 where it is sold" includes all food sold through a vending
21 machine, except soft drinks and food products that are
22 dispensed hot from a vending machine, regardless of the
23 location of the vending machine.
24 If the property that is acquired from a serviceman is
25 acquired outside Illinois and used outside Illinois before
26 being brought to Illinois for use here and is taxable under
27 this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax is computed
28 shall be reduced by an amount that represents a reasonable
29 allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
30 out-of-state use.

-24- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to
2 collect the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department
3 the amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the
4 time when he is required to file his return for the period
5 during which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1%
6 prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1,
7 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
8 allowed to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in
9 collecting the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing
10 returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to the
11 Department on request. A serviceman need not remit that part
12 of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
13 to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
14 Tax Act with respect to his sale of service involving the
15 incidental transfer by him of the same property.
16 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
17 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
18 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
19 month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to
20 be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed
21 on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
22 information as the Department may reasonably require.
23 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
24 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
25 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
26 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
27 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
28 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
29 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
30 stating:
31 1. The name of the seller;
32 2. The address of the principal place of business
33 from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
34 State;
-25- LRB9112104SMdv
1 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
2 him during the preceding calendar month, including
3 receipts from charge and time sales, but less all
4 deductions allowed by law;
5 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
6 this Act;
7 5. The amount of tax due;
8 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
9 6. Such other reasonable information as the
10 Department may require.
11 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
12 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
13 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
14 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
15 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
16 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
17 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
18 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
19 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
20 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
21 by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
22 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
23 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
24 Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
25 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000
26 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
27 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "annual
28 tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
29 under this Act, and under all other State and local
30 occupation and use tax laws administered by the Department,
31 for the immediately preceding calendar year. The term
32 "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
33 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
34 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by
-26- LRB9112104SMdv
1 the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
2 divided by 12.
3 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
4 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
5 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
6 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
7 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
8 1.
9 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
10 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
11 with the permission of the Department.
12 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
13 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
14 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
15 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
16 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
17 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
18 requirements of this Section.
19 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
20 return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability
21 to the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
22 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
23 with the return for January, February and March of a given
24 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
25 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
26 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
27 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
28 the return for October, November and December of a given year
29 being due by January 20 of the following year.
30 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
31 or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly
32 tax liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
33 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
34 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
-27- LRB9112104SMdv
1 20 of the following year.
2 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
3 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
4 monthly returns.
5 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
6 concerning the time within which a serviceman may file his
7 return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
8 a kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
9 returns under this Act, such serviceman shall file a final
10 return under this Act with the Department not more than 1
11 month after discontinuing such business.
12 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
13 selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
14 thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds
15 the selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
16 shall also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected
17 from the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in
18 which he refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman
19 may deduct the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
20 purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation
21 Tax, retailers' occupation tax or use tax which such
22 serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
23 as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the tax
24 to be deducted shall previously have been remitted to the
25 Department by such serviceman. If the serviceman shall not
26 previously have remitted the amount of such tax to the
27 Department, he shall be entitled to no deduction hereunder
28 upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
29 Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also
30 include the total tax upon the selling price of tangible
31 personal property purchased for use by him as an incident to
32 a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
33 of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
34 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
-28- LRB9112104SMdv
1 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
2 joint return which will enable servicemen, who are required
3 to file returns hereunder and also under the Service
4 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
5 required by both Acts on the one form.
6 Where the serviceman has more than one business
7 registered with the Department under separate registration
8 hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
9 due as a single return covering all such registered
10 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
11 registered business.
12 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
13 shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
14 fund in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for the
15 preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of food for human
16 consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
17 is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
18 which has been prepared for immediate consumption) and
19 prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical
20 appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
21 needles used by diabetics.
22 Beginning January 1, 2001, and so long as the rate
23 remains at 1.25%, each month the Department shall pay into
24 the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the net
25 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate
26 on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
27 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
28 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 20%
29 of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
30 6.25% general rate on transfers of tangible personal
31 property, other than tangible personal property which is
32 purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and
33 which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
34 government.
-29- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Beginning January 1, 2001, and so long as the rate
2 remains at 1.25%, each month the Department shall pay into
3 the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized
4 for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the selling

33 be, on the selling price of tangible personal property which
34 amount shall, subject to appropriation, be distributed as

1 Section 15. The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
2 changing Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:
3 (35 ILCS 115/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)
4 Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in
5 this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
6 6.25% of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of the
7 Service Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property. For
8 the purpose of computing this tax, in no event shall the
9 "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
10 of the tangible personal property transferred. The selling
11 price of each item of tangible personal property transferred
12 as an incident of a sale of service may be shown as a
13 distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
14 service customer. If the selling price is not so shown, the
15 selling price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
16 be 50% of the serviceman's entire billing to the service
17 customer. When, however, a serviceman contracts to design,
18 develop, and produce special order machinery or equipment,
19 the tax imposed by this Act shall be based on the
20 serviceman's cost price of the tangible personal property
21 transferred incident to the completion of the contract.
22 With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of
23 the Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
24 3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of
25 1.25%. If, however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
26 fuel and gasohol under the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax
27 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers'
28 Occupation Tax Act during the period from January 1, 2001
29 through December 31, 2001 are not at least 15% more than the
30 aggregate tax revenues from motor fuel and gasohol under
31 those Acts during the period from January 1, 2000 through
32 December 31, 2000, then beginning January 1, 2004 the tax is
33 imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.
-35- LRB9112104SMdv
1 With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act,
2 the tax imposed by this Act shall apply to 70% of the cost
3 price of property transferred as an incident to the sale of
4 service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
5 and to 100% of the cost price thereafter.
6 At the election of any registered serviceman made for
7 each fiscal year, sales of service in which the aggregate
8 annual cost price of tangible personal property transferred
9 as an incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or
10 75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
11 or servicemen engaged in graphic arts production, of the
12 aggregate annual total gross receipts from all sales of
13 service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be based on the
14 serviceman's cost price of the tangible personal property
15 transferred incident to the sale of those services.
16 The tax shall be imposed at the rate of 1% on food
17 prepared for immediate consumption and transferred incident
18 to a sale of service subject to this Act or the Service
19 Occupation Tax Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
20 Licensing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, or the Child Care
21 Act of 1969. The tax shall also be imposed at the rate of 1%
22 on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
23 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
24 soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate
25 consumption and is not otherwise included in this paragraph)
26 and prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs,
27 medical appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for the
28 purpose of rendering it usable by a disabled person, and
29 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used
30 by diabetics, for human use. For the purposes of this
31 Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete, finished,
32 ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not,
33 including but not limited to soda water, cola, fruit juice,
34 vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all other preparations
-36- LRB9112104SMdv
1 commonly known as soft drinks of whatever kind or description
2 that are contained in any closed or sealed can, carton, or
3 container, regardless of size. "Soft drinks" does not
4 include coffee, tea, non-carbonated water, infant formula,
5 milk or milk products as defined in the Grade A Pasteurized
6 Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks containing 50% or more
7 natural fruit or vegetable juice.
8 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, "food
9 for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
10 where it is sold" includes all food sold through a vending
11 machine, except soft drinks and food products that are
12 dispensed hot from a vending machine, regardless of the
13 location of the vending machine.

16 (35 ILCS 115/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.109)
17 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to
18 collect the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department
19 the amount of such tax at the time when he is required to
20 file his return for the period during which such tax was
21 collectible, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
22 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per
23 calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
24 reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting
25 the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
26 remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department on
27 request.
28 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
29 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
30 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
31 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
32 return is filed, the serviceman, in collecting the tax may
33 collect, for each tax return period, only the tax applicable
-37- LRB9112104SMdv
1 to the part of the selling price actually received during
2 such tax return period.
3 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
4 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
5 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
6 month in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
7 be promulgated by the Department of Revenue. Such return
8 shall be filed on a form prescribed by the Department and
9 shall contain such information as the Department may
10 reasonably require.
11 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
12 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
13 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
14 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
15 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
16 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
17 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
18 stating:
19 1. The name of the seller;
20 2. The address of the principal place of business
21 from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
22 State;
23 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
24 him during the preceding calendar month, including
25 receipts from charge and time sales, but less all
26 deductions allowed by law;
27 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
28 this Act;
29 5. The amount of tax due;
30 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
31 6. Such other reasonable information as the
32 Department may require.
33 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
34 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
-38- LRB9112104SMdv
1 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
2 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
3 A serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
4 certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
5 Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
6 the purchaser provides the appropriate documentation as
7 required by Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act. A
8 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted by a
9 serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
10 Act, may be used by that serviceman to satisfy Service
11 Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in the
12 certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
13 tax from a qualifying purchase.
14 If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
15 Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
16 his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
17 return for January, February and March of a given year being
18 due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May
19 and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
20 with the return for July, August and September of a given
21 year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
22 return for October, November and December of a given year
23 being due by January 20 of the following year.
24 If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
25 Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
26 his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return
27 for a given year being due by January 20 of the following
28 year.
29 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
30 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
31 monthly returns.
32 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
33 concerning the time within which a serviceman may file his
34 return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
-39- LRB9112104SMdv
1 a kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
2 returns under this Act, such serviceman shall file a final
3 return under this Act with the Department not more than 1
4 month after discontinuing such business.
5 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
6 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
7 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
8 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
9 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
10 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department

15 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of
16 $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of

18 "annual tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's
19 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
20 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
21 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year. The
22 term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
23 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
24 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by
25 the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
26 divided by 12.
27 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
28 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
29 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers
30 required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
31 make those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on
32 October 1.
33 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
34 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
-40- LRB9112104SMdv
1 with the permission of the Department.
2 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
3 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
4 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
5 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
6 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
7 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
8 requirements of this Section.
9 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
10 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells
11 and the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
12 property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
13 to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
14 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
15 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
16 to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
17 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other
18 Service Occupation Tax, Service Use Tax, Retailers'
19 Occupation Tax or Use Tax which such serviceman may be
20 required to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such
21 return, provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted
22 shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
23 serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
24 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall
25 be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
26 to the purchaser.
27 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
28 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
29 joint return which will enable servicemen, who are required
30 to file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
31 Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax
32 Act, to furnish all the return information required by all
33 said Acts on the one form.
34 Where the serviceman has more than one business
-41- LRB9112104SMdv
1 registered with the Department under separate registrations
2 hereunder, such serviceman shall file separate returns for
3 each registered business.
4 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
5 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund the revenue
6 realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of

21 on the cost price of motor fuel and gasohol.
22 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
23 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the
24 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
25 general rate on transfers of tangible personal property.
26 Beginning January 1, 2001, and so long as the rate
27 remains at 1.25%, each month the Department shall pay into
28 the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized
29 for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the cost price
30 of motor fuel and gasohol.
31 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
32 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
33 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
34 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
-42- LRB9112104SMdv
1 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
2 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
3 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
4 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
5 to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9
6 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
7 Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
8 hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
9 or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter
10 called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
11 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
12 Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount
13 (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
14 Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
15 paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
16 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and further
17 provided, that if on the last business day of any month the
18 sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
19 the Build Illinois Account in the Build Illinois Fund during
20 such month and (2) the amount transferred during such month
21 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
22 Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the Annual
23 Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference shall be
24 immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other
25 moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts;
26 and, further provided, that in no event shall the payments
27 required under the preceding proviso result in aggregate
28 payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause
29 (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater of (i) the
30 Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount for such
31 fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts payable
32 into the Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b) shall be
33 payable only until such time as the aggregate amount on
34 deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued and
-43- LRB9112104SMdv

26 provided in Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act. No
27 payments or distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be
28 made if the tax imposed by this Act on photoprocessing
29 products is declared unconstitutional, or if the proceeds
30 from such tax are unavailable for distribution because of
31 litigation.

14 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
15 Such annual return to the Department shall include a
16 statement of gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last
17 Federal income tax return. If the total receipts of the
18 business as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
19 agree with the gross receipts reported to the Department of
20 Revenue for the same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his
21 annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
22 amounts and the reasons for the difference. The taxpayer's
23 annual return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
24 of goods sold by the taxpayer during the year covered by such
25 return, opening and closing inventories of such goods for
26 such year, cost of goods used from stock or taken from stock
27 and given away by the taxpayer during such year, pay roll
28 information of the taxpayer's business during such year and
29 any additional reasonable information which the Department
30 deems would be helpful in determining the accuracy of the
31 monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by such taxpayer
32 as hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
33 If the annual information return required by this Section
34 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be
-47- LRB9112104SMdv
1 liable as follows:
2 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
3 liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
4 from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
5 covered by the annual return for each month or fraction
6 of a month until such return is filed as required, the
7 penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner
8 as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
9 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer
10 shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
11 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
12 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
13 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
14 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person
15 who willfully signs the annual return containing false or
16 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and
17 punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by
18 the Department shall include a warning that the person
19 signing the return may be liable for perjury.
20 The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the
21 filing of an annual information return shall not apply to a
22 serviceman who is not required to file an income tax return
23 with the United States Government.
24 As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
25 upon certification of the Department of Revenue, the
26 Comptroller shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall
27 transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
28 Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue
29 realized under this Act for the second preceding month.
30 Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
31 and shall not be made.
32 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
33 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
34 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
-48- LRB9112104SMdv
1 overpayment of liability.
2 For greater simplicity of administration, it shall be
3 permissible for manufacturers, importers and wholesalers
4 whose products are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois,
5 and who wish to do so, to assume the responsibility for
6 accounting and paying to the Department all tax accruing
7 under this Act with respect to such sales, if the servicemen
8 who are affected do not make written objection to the
9 Department to this arrangement.

21 the Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
22 3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of

25 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers'
26 Occupation Tax Act during the period from January 1, 2001
27 through December 31, 2001 are not at least 15% more than the
28 aggregate tax revenues from motor fuel and gasohol under
29 those Acts during the period from January 1, 2000 through
30 December 31, 2000, then beginning January 1, 2004 the tax is

9 modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
10 it usable by a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
11 materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
12 use, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For the purposes
13 of this Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete,
14 finished, ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether
15 carbonated or not, including but not limited to soda water,
16 cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
17 other preparations commonly known as soft drinks of whatever
18 kind or description that are contained in any closed or

21 water, infant formula, milk or milk products as defined in
22 the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
23 containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.

25 for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
26 where it is sold" includes all food sold through a vending
27 machine, except soft drinks and food products that are
28 dispensed hot from a vending machine, regardless of the

5 supplier, or other reseller of motor fuel a portion of the
6 tax imposed by this Act if the distributor, supplier, or

23 remit the prepaid tax on all motor fuel that is due from any
24 person engaged in the business of selling at retail motor
25 fuel with the returns filed under Section 2f or Section 3 of
26 this Act, but the vendors discount provided in Section 3

1 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
2 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
3 Each return shall be accompanied by the statement of
4 prepaid tax issued pursuant to Section 2e for which credit is
5 claimed.
6 A retailer may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
7 certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax as

29 divided by 12.
30 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the

18 dollar is less than 50 cents.
19 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
20 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
21 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
22 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
23 with the return for January, February and March of a given
24 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
25 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of

30 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly

32 liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
33 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
34 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
-55- LRB9112104SMdv

5 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
6 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
7 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
8 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
9 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
10 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
11 month after discontinuing such business.
12 Where the same person has more than one business
13 registered with the Department under separate registrations
14 under this Act, such person may not file each return that is
15 due as a single return covering all such registered
16 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
17 registered business.
18 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
19 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
20 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
21 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
22 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
23 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
24 personal property which the retailer sells, except that
25 where, in the same transaction, a retailer of aircraft,
26 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
27 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
28 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer
29 retailer for the purpose of resale, that seller for resale
30 may report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor
31 vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
32 Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
33 return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft"
34 means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in
-56- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a
2 personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard
3 motor.
4 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
5 aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
6 an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation
7 tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
8 such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
9 required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
10 monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
11 be required to file returns on an annual basis.
12 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
13 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
14 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the

23 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
24 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
25 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
26 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
27 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
28 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
29 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
30 the property sold; such other information as is required in
31 Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
32 information as the Department may reasonably require.
33 The transaction reporting return in the case of
34 watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of the
-57- LRB9112104SMdv
1 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
2 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
3 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
4 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
5 if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
6 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
7 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
8 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
9 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
10 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or

14 the property sold, and such other information as the
15 Department may reasonably require.
16 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
17 later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
18 is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time
19 sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction
20 reporting return and tax remittance or proof of exemption
21 from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the
22 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
23 officer with whom the tangible personal property must be
24 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
25 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
26 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
27 applications for title or registration.
28 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
29 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
30 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
31 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
32 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
33 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
34 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
-58- LRB9112104SMdv
1 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
2 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
3 personal property that is involved (if titling or
4 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
5 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
6 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
7 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
8 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
9 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
10 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
11 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
12 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
13 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
14 mandate of this paragraph.
15 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
16 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
17 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department
18 before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
19 user has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may
20 certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
21 (upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such
22 certification) transmit the information required by the
23 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
24 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
25 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
26 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
27 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
28 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
29 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
30 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
31 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
32 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
33 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
34 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
-59- LRB9112104SMdv
1 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal
2 property returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a
3 deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly
4 return, as the case may be, in case the seller had
5 theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
6 tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had
7 paid the tax imposed by this Act with respect to such
8 receipts.
9 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
10 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
11 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
12 accredited agent of such corporation.
13 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
14 return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
15 be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
16 of the limited liability company.
17 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
18 the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing
19 such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed
20 by this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990
21 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
22 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
23 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
24 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
25 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made
26 pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
27 amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In
28 the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
29 transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
30 Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
31 remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
32 return.
33 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
34 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
-60- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
2 Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
3 remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
4 $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
5 quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
6 month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
7 during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
8 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
9 and last day of the month during which such liability is
10 incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
11 average monthly tax liability to the Department under this
12 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
13 Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid
14 sales tax to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of
15 this Act, was $20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
16 calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
17 each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
18 month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
19 make payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
20 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
21 incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is
22 incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
23 be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
24 liability for the month or an amount set by the Department
25 not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability of the
26 taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
27 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability
28 and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
29 If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
30 begins on or after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1,
31 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
32 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
33 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
34 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
-61- LRB9112104SMdv
1 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
2 January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
3 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
4 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
5 month of the preceding year. If the month during which such
6 tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
7 and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
8 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
9 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
10 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
11 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
12 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior to
13 January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
14 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
15 of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
16 the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
17 for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount of such
18 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
19 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
20 Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
21 the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
22 taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
23 or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
24 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
25 the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
26 quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
27 month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
28 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
29 computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding
30 complete calendar quarter period is less than $10,000.
31 However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
32 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
33 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
34 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
-62- LRB9112104SMdv
1 will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
2 taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
3 taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000,
4 once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
5 monthly payments to the Department by taxpayers having an
6 average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or more as
7 determined in the manner provided above shall continue until
8 such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department
9 during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding
10 the month of highest liability and the month of lowest
11 liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
12 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
13 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
14 quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer
15 can show the Department that a substantial change in the
16 taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to
17 anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
18 reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
19 threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
20 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
21 The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
22 unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and
23 not likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly
24 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
25 this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
26 and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
27 as a payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
28 actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has
29 previously made payments for that month to the Department in
30 excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in
31 this Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
32 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
33 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
34 than a calendar monthly basis.
-63- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
2 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
3 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
4 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average
5 in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2
6 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the
7 Department as required by Section 2f and shall make payments
8 to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
9 day of the month during which such liability is incurred. If
10 the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
11 prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
12 each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
13 taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
14 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
15 after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount
16 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
17 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
18 calendar month of the preceding calendar year. If the month
19 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
20 after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
21 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
22 month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
23 calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of such
24 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
25 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
26 under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
27 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
28 payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
29 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
30 collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
31 is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly payment is
32 not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
33 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
34 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
-64- LRB9112104SMdv
1 made payments for that month in excess of the minimum
2 payments previously due.
3 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
4 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
5 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
6 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
7 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
8 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment.
9 The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be
10 assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this
11 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
12 Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
13 regulations to be prescribed by the Department. If no such
14 request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
15 against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the
16 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
17 Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance
18 with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by the
19 Department. If the Department subsequently determined that
20 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
21 the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
22 shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between
23 the credit taken and that actually due, and that taxpayer
24 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
25 difference.
26 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
27 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
28 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
29 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
30 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
31 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
32 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund
33 in the State treasury which is hereby created, the net
34 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on
-65- LRB9112104SMdv
1 sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed
2 off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic
3 beverages, soft drinks and food which has been prepared for
4 immediate consumption) and prescription and nonprescription
5 medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
6 testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
7 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
8 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a
9 special fund in the State treasury which is hereby created,
10 4% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from
11 the 6.25% general rate.
12 Beginning January 1, 2001, and so long as the rate
13 remains at 1.25%, each month the Department shall pay into
14 the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the net
15 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate
16 on the proceeds of sales of motor fuel and gasohol.
17 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
18 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
19 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
20 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
21 property.
22 Beginning January 1, 2001, and so long as the rate
23 remains at 1.25%, each month the Department shall pay into
24 the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized
25 for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the proceeds
26 of sales of motor fuel and gasohol.
27 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
28 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
29 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
30 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
31 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
32 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
33 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
34 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
-66- LRB9112104SMdv
1 to this Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the
2 Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation
3 Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called the "Tax Acts"
4 and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case may be, of
5 moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2)
6 the amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the
7 State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be less than the
8 Annual Specified Amount (as hereinafter defined), an amount
9 equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into the
10 Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the
11 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; the "Annual Specified
12 Amount" means the amounts specified below for fiscal years
13 1986 through 1993:
14 Fiscal Year Annual Specified Amount

21 1992 $182,730,000
22 1993 $206,520,000;
23 and means the Certified Annual Debt Service Requirement (as
24 defined in Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act) or the
25 Tax Act Amount, whichever is greater, for fiscal year 1994
26 and each fiscal year thereafter; and further provided, that
27 if on the last business day of any month the sum of (1) the
28 Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into the Build
29 Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such
30 month and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
31 Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall
32 have been less than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an
33 amount equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into
34 the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the
-67- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided,
2 that in no event shall the payments required under the
3 preceding proviso result in aggregate payments into the Build
4 Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year
5 in excess of the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii)
6 the Annual Specified Amount for such fiscal year. The
7 amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under clause (b)
8 of the first sentence in this paragraph shall be payable only
9 until such time as the aggregate amount on deposit under each
10 trust indenture securing Bonds issued and outstanding
11 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking
12 into account any future investment income, to fully provide,
13 in accordance with such indenture, for the defeasance of or
14 the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
15 interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and on any
16 Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees and costs
17 payable with respect thereto, all as certified by the
18 Director of the Bureau of the Budget. If on the last
19 business day of any month in which Bonds are outstanding
20 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of
21 moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond Account in the
22 Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less than the
23 amount required to be transferred in such month from the
24 Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
25 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
26 Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
27 shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
28 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois
29 Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build
30 Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
31 shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
32 of the first sentence of this paragraph and shall reduce the
33 amount otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to
34 that clause (b). The moneys received by the Department
-68- LRB9112104SMdv
1 pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the
2 Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and
3 charge set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond

7 thereafter that bonds
8 are outstanding under
9 Section 13.2 of the
10 Metropolitan Pier and
11 Exposition Authority
12 Act, but not after fiscal year 2029.
13 Beginning July 20, 1993 and in each month of each fiscal
14 year thereafter, one-eighth of the amount requested in the
15 certificate of the Chairman of the Metropolitan Pier and
16 Exposition Authority for that fiscal year, less the amount
17 deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund by
18 the State Treasurer in the respective month under subsection
19 (g) of Section 13 of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition
20 Authority Act, plus cumulative deficiencies in the deposits
21 required under this Section for previous months and years,
22 shall be deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project
23 Fund, until the full amount requested for the fiscal year,
24 but not in excess of the amount specified above as "Total
25 Deposit", has been deposited.
26 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois
27 Fund and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant
28 to the preceding paragraphs or in any amendment thereto
29 hereafter enacted, each month the Department shall pay into
30 the Local Government Distributive Fund 0.4% of the net
31 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 5% general
32 rate or 0.4% of 80% of the net revenue realized for the
33 preceding month from the 6.25% general rate, as the case may
34 be, on the selling price of tangible personal property which
-70- LRB9112104SMdv
1 amount shall, subject to appropriation, be distributed as
2 provided in Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act. No
3 payments or distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be
4 made if the tax imposed by this Act on photoprocessing
5 products is declared unconstitutional, or if the proceeds
6 from such tax are unavailable for distribution because of
7 litigation.
8 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois
9 Fund, the McCormick Place Expansion Project to the preceding
10 paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter enacted,
11 beginning July 1, 1993, the Department shall each month pay
12 into the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of the net
13 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
14 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
15 property.
16 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
17 pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the
18 State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
19 and used only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as
20 part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
21 accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
22 The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
23 taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
24 Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
25 less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
26 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
27 Such annual return to the Department shall include a
28 statement of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last
29 Federal income tax return. If the total receipts of the
30 business as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
31 agree with the gross receipts reported to the Department of
32 Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach to his
33 annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
34 amounts and the reasons for the difference. The retailer's
-71- LRB9112104SMdv
1 annual return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
2 of goods sold by the retailer during the year covered by such
3 return, opening and closing inventories of such goods for
4 such year, costs of goods used from stock or taken from stock
5 and given away by the retailer during such year, payroll
6 information of the retailer's business during such year and
7 any additional reasonable information which the Department
8 deems would be helpful in determining the accuracy of the
9 monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by such retailer
10 as provided for in this Section.
11 If the annual information return required by this Section
12 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be
13 liable as follows:
14 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
15 liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
16 from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
17 covered by the annual return for each month or fraction
18 of a month until such return is filed as required, the
19 penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner
20 as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
21 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer
22 shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
23 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
24 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
25 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
26 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person
27 who willfully signs the annual return containing false or
28 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and
29 punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by
30 the Department shall include a warning that the person
31 signing the return may be liable for perjury.
32 The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of
33 an annual information return do not apply to a retailer who
34 is not required to file an income tax return with the United
-72- LRB9112104SMdv
1 States Government.
2 As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
3 upon certification of the Department of Revenue, the
4 Comptroller shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall
5 transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
6 Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue
7 realized under this Act for the second preceding month.
8 Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
9 and shall not be made.
10 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
11 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
12 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
13 overpayment of liability.
14 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
15 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
16 in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
17 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
18 Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to
19 such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make
20 written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
21 Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail
22 selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers
23 at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
24 local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions
25 or events, including any transient merchant as defined by
26 Section 2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required
27 to file a report with the Department providing the name of
28 the merchant's business, the name of the person or persons
29 engaged in merchant's business, the permanent address and
30 Illinois Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the
31 merchant, the dates and location of the event and other
32 reasonable information that the Department may require. The
33 report must be filed not later than the 20th day of the month
34 next following the month during which the event with retail
-73- LRB9112104SMdv
1 sales was held. Any person who fails to file a report
2 required by this Section commits a business offense and is
3 subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
4 Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible
5 personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
6 of seller at the Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art
7 shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
8 transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
9 Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
10 of the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a
11 daily payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department
12 shall impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
13 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
14 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on
15 evidence that a substantial number of concessionaires or
16 other sellers who are not residents of Illinois will be
17 engaging in the business of selling tangible personal
18 property at retail at the exhibition or event, or other
19 evidence of a significant risk of loss of revenue to the
20 State. The Department shall notify concessionaires and other
21 sellers affected by the imposition of this requirement. In
22 the absence of notification by the Department, the
23 concessionaires and other sellers shall file their returns as
24 otherwise required in this Section.

30 (35 ILCS 505/13a) (from Ch. 120, par. 429a)
31 Sec. 13a. Commercial vehicle; motor fuel use tax.
32 (1) A tax is hereby imposed upon the use of motor fuel
-74- LRB9112104SMdv
1 upon highways of this State by commercial motor vehicles. The
2 tax shall be comprised of 2 parts. Part (a) shall be at the
3 rate established by Section 2 of this Act, as heretofore or
4 hereafter amended. Part (b) shall be at the rate established
5 by subsection (2) of this Section as now or hereafter
6 amended.

10 motor fuel sold in this State during the previous 12 months
11 and multiplying it by the general rate imposed by the
12 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act 6 1/4% to determine the cents
13 per gallon rate.

15 Section 25. The Counties Code is amended by changing
16 Sections 5-1006, 5-1006.5, 5-1007, and 5-1035.1 as follows:
17 (55 ILCS 5/5-1006) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1006)
18 Sec. 5-1006. Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax
19 Law. Any county that is a home rule unit may impose a tax
20 upon all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
21 personal property, other than an item of tangible personal
22 property titled or registered with an agency of this State's
23 government, at retail in the county on the gross receipts
24 from such sales made in the course of their business. If
25 imposed, this tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments.
26 On and after September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not
27 be imposed on the sales of food for human consumption which
28 is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other
29 than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which has been
30 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
31 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
32 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used
-75- LRB9112104SMdv
1 by diabetics. The tax imposed by a home rule county pursuant
2 to this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed
3 as an incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
4 State Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration
5 that is issued by the Department to a retailer under the
6 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to
7 engage in a business that is taxable under any ordinance or
8 resolution enacted pursuant to this Section without
9 registering separately with the Department under such
10 ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The
11 Department shall have full power to administer and enforce
12 this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties due
13 hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
14 the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights
15 to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
16 payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration
17 of, and compliance with, this Section, the Department and
18 persons who are subject to this Section shall have the same
19 rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties,
20 and be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
21 limitations, penalties and definitions of terms, and employ
22 the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1,
23 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-65 (in
24 respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate
25 of tax), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k,
26 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the
27 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
28 Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions
29 were set forth herein.
30 No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to
31 this Section unless the county also imposes a tax at the same
32 rate pursuant to Section 5-1007.
33 A home rule county that has not imposed a tax under this
34 Section on the gross receipts from the sale of motor fuel or
-76- LRB9112104SMdv
1 gasohol before the effective date of this amendatory Act of
2 the 91st General Assembly shall not impose such a tax on or
3 after that date. A home rule county that has imposed a tax
4 under this Section on the gross receipts from the sale of
5 motor fuel or gasohol before the effective date of this
6 amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly shall not
7 increase the rate of the tax on or after that date. This
8 amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly is a denial and
9 limitation of home rule powers to tax under subsection (g) of
10 Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
11 Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
12 authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves
13 for their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately
14 stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be
15 stated in combination, in a single amount, with State tax
16 which sellers are required to collect under the Use Tax Act,
17 pursuant to such bracket schedules as the Department may
18 prescribe.
19 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
20 be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
21 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
22 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
23 amount specified and to the person named in the notification
24 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
25 Treasurer out of the home rule county retailers' occupation
26 tax fund.
27 The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
28 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
29 collected hereunder. On or before the 25th day of each
30 calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to
31 the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to
32 named counties, the counties to be those from which retailers
33 have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department
34 during the second preceding calendar month. The amount to be
-77- LRB9112104SMdv
1 paid to each county shall be the amount (not including credit
2 memoranda) collected hereunder during the second preceding
3 calendar month by the Department plus an amount the
4 Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
5 were erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not
6 including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
7 during the second preceding calendar month by the Department
8 on behalf of such county, and not including any amount which
9 the Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts
10 which were payable to a different taxing body but were
11 erroneously paid to the county. Within 10 days after receipt,
12 by the Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the
13 counties provided for in this Section to be given to the
14 Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause
15 the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in
16 accordance with the directions contained in the
17 certification.
18 In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
19 paragraph, an allocation shall be made in March of each year
20 to each county that received more than $500,000 in
21 disbursements under the preceding paragraph in the preceding
22 calendar year. The allocation shall be in an amount equal to
23 the average monthly distribution made to each such county
24 under the preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar
25 year (excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The
26 distribution made in March of each year subsequent to the
27 year in which an allocation was made pursuant to this
28 paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
29 amount allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the
30 preceding calendar year. The Department shall prepare and
31 certify to the Comptroller for disbursement the allocations
32 made in accordance with this paragraph.
33 For the purpose of determining the local governmental
34 unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of
-78- LRB9112104SMdv
1 coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
2 at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
3 Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does
4 not apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
5 shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
6 Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the United States
7 Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
8 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
9 county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
10 business which under the Constitution of the United States
11 may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
12 An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a
13 tax hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall
14 be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the
15 Department on or before the first day of June, whereupon the
16 Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
17 Section as of the first day of September next following such
18 adoption and filing. Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance
19 or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax hereunder or
20 effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be adopted and a
21 certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or before
22 the first day of July, whereupon the Department shall proceed
23 to administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of
24 October next following such adoption and filing. Beginning
25 January 1, 1993, an ordinance or resolution imposing or
26 discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a change in the
27 rate thereof shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof
28 filed with the Department on or before the first day of
29 October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
30 and enforce this Section as of the first day of January next
31 following such adoption and filing. Beginning April 1, 1998,
32 an ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax
33 hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall
34 either (i) be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with
-79- LRB9112104SMdv
1 the Department on or before the first day of April, whereupon
2 the Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
3 Section as of the first day of July next following the
4 adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a certified copy
5 thereof filed with the Department on or before the first day
6 of October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
7 administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of
8 January next following the adoption and filing.
9 When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
10 county under this Section, the Department shall increase or
11 decrease such amount by an amount necessary to offset any
12 misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
13 shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
14 6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.
15 This Section shall be known and may be cited as the Home
16 Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax Law.

19 Sec. 5-1006.5. Special County Retailers' Occupation Tax
20 For Public Safety Law.
21 (a) The county board of any county may impose a tax upon
22 all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
23 personal property, other than personal property titled or
24 registered with an agency of this State's government, at
25 retail in the county on the gross receipts from the sales
26 made in the course of business to provide revenue to be used
27 exclusively for public safety purposes in that county, if a
28 proposition for the tax has been submitted to the electors of
29 that county and approved by a majority of those voting on the
30 question. If imposed, this tax shall be imposed only in
31 one-quarter percent increments. By resolution, the county
32 board may order the proposition to be submitted at any
33 election. The county clerk shall certify the question to the
-80- LRB9112104SMdv
1 proper election authority, who shall submit the proposition
2 at an election in accordance with the general election law.
3 The proposition shall be in substantially the following
4 form:
5 "Shall (name of county) be authorized to impose a
6 public safety tax at the rate of .... upon all persons
7 engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
8 property at retail in the county on gross receipts from
9 the sales made in the course of their business to be used
10 for crime prevention, detention, and other public safety
11 purposes?"
12 Votes shall be recorded as Yes or No. If a majority of the
13 electors voting on the proposition vote in favor of it, the
14 county may impose the tax.
15 This additional tax may not be imposed on the sales of
16 food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
17 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
18 soft drinks, and food which has been prepared for immediate
19 consumption) and prescription and non-prescription medicines,
20 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
21 materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics. The tax
22 imposed by a county under this Section and all civil
23 penalties that may be assessed as an incident of the tax
24 shall be collected and enforced by the Illinois Department of
25 Revenue. The certificate of registration that is issued by
26 the Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation
27 Tax Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a business
28 that is taxable without registering separately with the
29 Department under an ordinance or resolution under this
30 Section. The Department has full power to administer and
31 enforce this Section, to collect all taxes and penalties due
32 under this Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
33 collected in the manner provided in this Section, and to
34 determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account
-81- LRB9112104SMdv
1 of the erroneous payment of a tax or penalty under this
2 Section. In the administration of and compliance with this
3 Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
4 Section shall (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
5 immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to the same
6 conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and
7 definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
8 procedure as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e,
9 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2, 2-5, 2-5.5, 2-10 (in respect to
10 all provisions contained in those Sections other than the
11 State rate of tax), 2-15 through 2-70, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 (except
12 provisions relating to transaction returns and quarter
13 monthly payments), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i,
14 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13
15 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the
16 Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as if those provisions were
17 set forth in this Section.
18 A county that has not imposed a tax under this subsection
19 on the gross receipts from the sale of motor fuel or gasohol
20 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
21 General Assembly shall not impose such a tax on or after that
22 date. A county that has imposed a tax under this subsection
23 on the gross receipts from the sale of motor fuel or gasohol
24 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
25 General Assembly shall not increase the rate of the tax on or
26 after that date.
27 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
28 granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
29 sellers' tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
30 additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
31 in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
32 to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed
33 schedules as the Department may prescribe.
34 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
-82- LRB9112104SMdv
1 be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
2 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
3 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
4 amount specified and to the person named in the notification
5 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
6 Treasurer out of the County Public Safety Retailers'
7 Occupation Tax Fund.
8 (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
9 service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
10 upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
11 making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
12 sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
13 the county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
14 not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is
15 to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
16 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food prepared for
17 immediate consumption) and prescription and non-prescription
18 medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
19 testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics.
20 The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties
21 that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
22 collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
23 Department has full power to administer and enforce this
24 subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder;
25 to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner
26 hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights to credit
27 memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax
28 or penalty hereunder. In the administration of, and
29 compliance with this subsection, the Department and persons
30 who are subject to this paragraph shall (i) have the same
31 rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties,
32 (ii) be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
33 limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and
34 definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
-83- LRB9112104SMdv
1 procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2 (except that the
2 reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining
3 a place of business in this State shall mean the county), 2a,
4 2b, 2c, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein
5 other than the State rate of tax), 4 (except that the
6 reference to the State shall be to the county), 5, 7, 8
7 (except that the jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a
8 debt to the extent indicated in that Section 8 shall be the
9 county), 9 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
10 penalties collected), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference
11 therein to Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act),
12 13 (except that any reference to the State shall mean the
13 county), Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service
14 Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and
15 Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were set forth
16 herein.
17 A county that has not imposed a tax under this subsection
18 on the cost price of motor fuel or gasohol before the
19 effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General
20 Assembly shall not impose such a tax on or after that date.
21 A county that has imposed a tax under this subsection on the
22 cost price of motor fuel or gasohol before the effective date
23 of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly shall not
24 increase the rate of the tax on or after that date.
25 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
26 granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
27 serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the tax as
28 an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
29 combination, in a single amount, with State tax that
30 servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service Use
31 Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket schedules as the
32 Department may prescribe.
33 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
34 be made under this subsection to a claimant instead of
-84- LRB9112104SMdv
1 issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the
2 State Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
3 for the amount specified, and to the person named, in the
4 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid
5 by the State Treasurer out of the County Public Safety
6 Retailers' Occupation Fund.
7 Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to
8 authorize the county to impose a tax upon the privilege of
9 engaging in any business which under the Constitution of the
10 United States may not be made the subject of taxation by the
11 State.
12 (c) The Department shall immediately pay over to the
13 State Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and
14 penalties collected under this Section to be deposited into
15 the County Public Safety Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund,
16 which shall be an unappropriated trust fund held outside of
17 the State treasury. On or before the 25th day of each
18 calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to
19 the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to
20 the counties from which retailers have paid taxes or
21 penalties to the Department during the second preceding
22 calendar month. The amount to be paid to each county shall
23 be the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected
24 under this Section during the second preceding calendar month
25 by the Department plus an amount the Department determines is
26 necessary to offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to

28 equal to the amount of refunds made during the second
29 preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of the
30 county and (ii) any amount that the Department determines is
31 necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a
32 different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
33 county. Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of
34 the disbursement certification to the counties provided for
-85- LRB9112104SMdv
1 in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by the
2 Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
3 drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with
4 directions contained in the certification.
5 In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
6 paragraph, an allocation shall be made in March of each year
7 to each county that received more than $500,000 in
8 disbursements under the preceding paragraph in the preceding
9 calendar year. The allocation shall be in an amount equal to
10 the average monthly distribution made to each such county
11 under the preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar
12 year (excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The
13 distribution made in March of each year subsequent to the
14 year in which an allocation was made pursuant to this
15 paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
16 amount allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the
17 preceding calendar year. The Department shall prepare and

28 A home rule county that has not imposed a tax under this
29 Section on the selling price of motor fuel or gasohol before
30 the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General

10 under the preceding paragraph in the preceding calendar year.
11 The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the average
12 monthly distribution made to each such county under the
13 preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar year
14 (excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The
15 distribution made in March of each year subsequent to the
16 year in which an allocation was made pursuant to this
17 paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
18 amount allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the
19 preceding calendar year. The Department shall prepare and
20 certify to the Comptroller for disbursement the allocations
21 made in accordance with this paragraph.
22 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a

23 are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to
24 such bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
25 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should

30 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
31 Treasurer out of the home rule municipal retailers'
32 occupation tax fund.
33 The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
34 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
-97- LRB9112104SMdv

3 the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to
4 named municipalities, the municipalities to be those from
5 which retailers have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the
6 Department during the second preceding calendar month. The
7 amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount
8 (not including credit memoranda) collected hereunder during
9 the second preceding calendar month by the Department plus an
10 amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any
11 amounts that were erroneously paid to a different taxing
12 body, and not including an amount equal to the amount of
13 refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by
14 the Department on behalf of such municipality, and not
15 including any amount that the Department determines is
16 necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a
17 different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
18 municipality. Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller
19 of the disbursement certification to the municipalities
20 provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller
21 by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to
22 be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the

24 In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
25 paragraph and in order to mitigate delays caused by
26 distribution procedures, an allocation shall, if requested,
27 be made within 10 days after January 14, 1991, and in
28 November of 1991 and each year thereafter, to each
29 municipality that received more than $500,000 during the
30 preceding fiscal year, (July 1 through June 30) whether
31 collected by the municipality or disbursed by the Department
32 as required by this Section. Within 10 days after January 14,
33 1991, participating municipalities shall notify the
34 Department in writing of their intent to participate. In
-98- LRB9112104SMdv
1 addition, for the initial distribution, participating
2 municipalities shall certify to the Department the amounts
3 collected by the municipality for each month under its home
4 rule occupation and service occupation tax during the period
5 July 1, 1989 through June 30, 1990. The allocation within 10
6 days after January 14, 1991, shall be in an amount equal to
7 the monthly average of these amounts, excluding the 2 months
8 of highest receipts. The monthly average for the period of
9 July 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991 will be determined as
10 follows: the amounts collected by the municipality under its
11 home rule occupation and service occupation tax during the
12 period of July 1, 1990 through September 30, 1990, plus
13 amounts collected by the Department and paid to such
14 municipality through June 30, 1991, excluding the 2 months of
15 highest receipts. The monthly average for each subsequent
16 period of July 1 through June 30 shall be an amount equal to
17 the monthly distribution made to each such municipality under
18 the preceding paragraph during this period, excluding the 2
19 months of highest receipts. The distribution made in
20 November 1991 and each year thereafter under this paragraph
21 and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount
22 allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding
23 period of July 1 through June 30. The Department shall
24 prepare and certify to the Comptroller for disbursement the
25 allocations made in accordance with this paragraph.
26 For the purpose of determining the local governmental
27 unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of
28 coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
29 at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
30 Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does
31 not apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
32 shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
33 Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the United States
34 Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.

-103- LRB9112104SMdv
1 prior to January 1, 1987, established a Redevelopment Project
2 Area that has been certified as a State Sales Tax Boundary
3 and has issued bonds or otherwise incurred indebtedness to
4 pay for costs in excess of $5,000,000, which is secured in
5 part by a tax increment allocation fund, in accordance with
6 the provisions of Division 11-74.4 of this Code may, by
7 passage of an ordinance, impose a tax upon all persons
8 engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
9 property, other than on an item of tangible personal property

32 business that is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
33 enacted under this Section without registering separately
34 with the Department under the ordinance or resolution or
-104- LRB9112104SMdv
1 under this Section. The Department shall have full power to
2 administer and enforce this Section, to collect all taxes and
3 penalties due hereunder, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
4 collected in the manner hereinafter provided, and to
5 determine all rights to credit memoranda, arising on account
6 of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
7 administration of, and compliance with this Section, the
8 Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
9 have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
10 powers, and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
11 restrictions, limitations, penalties, and definitions of
12 terms, and employ the same modes of procedure, as are
13 prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2
14 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other than
15 the State rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the disposition
16 of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,

18 12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section
19 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as fully as if
20 those provisions were set forth herein.
21 A tax may not be imposed by a municipality under this
22 Section unless the municipality also imposes a tax at the
23 same rate under Section 8-11-1.7 of this Act.
24 A municipality that has not imposed a tax under this
25 Section on the gross receipts from the sale of motor fuel or
26 gasohol before the effective date of this amendatory Act of
27 the 91st General Assembly shall not impose such a tax on or
28 after that date. A municipality that has imposed a tax under
29 this Section on the gross receipts from the sale of motor
30 fuel or gasohol before the effective date of this amendatory
31 Act of the 91st General Assembly shall not increase the rate
32 of the tax on or after that date.
33 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
34 granted in this Section, may reimburse themselves for their
-105- LRB9112104SMdv
1 seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the
2 tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
3 combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
4 are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to
5 such bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
6 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
7 be made under this Section to a claimant, instead of issuing
8 a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
9 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
10 amount specified, and to the person named in the notification
11 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
12 Treasurer out of the Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
13 Occupation Tax Fund, which is hereby created.
14 The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
15 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
16 collected hereunder. On or before the 25th day of each
17 calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to
18 the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to
19 named municipalities, the municipalities to be those from
20 which retailers have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the
21 Department during the second preceding calendar month. The
22 amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount
23 (not including credit memoranda) collected hereunder during
24 the second preceding calendar month by the Department plus an
25 amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any
26 amounts that were erroneously paid to a different taxing
27 body, and not including an amount equal to the amount of
28 refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by
29 the Department on behalf of the municipality, and not
30 including any amount that the Department determines is
31 necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a
32 different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
33 municipality. Within 10 days after receipt by the
34 Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the
-106- LRB9112104SMdv
1 municipalities provided for in this Section to be given to
2 the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall
3 cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in
4 accordance with the directions contained in the
5 certification.
6 For the purpose of determining the local governmental
7 unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of
8 coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
9 at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
10 Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does
11 not apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
12 shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
13 Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the federal
14 Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
15 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
16 municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
17 in any business which under the constitution of the United
18 States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
19 When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
20 municipality under this Section, the Department shall
21 increase or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to
22 offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The
23 offset amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed
24 within the previous 6 months from the time a misallocation is
25 discovered.
26 As used in this Section, "municipal" and "municipality"
27 means a city, village, or incorporated town, including an
28 incorporated town that has superseded a civil township.

29 the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall
30 cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in

32 certification.
33 In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
34 paragraph and in order to mitigate delays caused by
-114- LRB9112104SMdv
1 distribution procedures, an allocation shall, if requested,
2 be made within 10 days after January 14, 1991, and in
3 November of 1991 and each year thereafter, to each
4 municipality that received more than $500,000 during the
5 preceding fiscal year, (July 1 through June 30) whether
6 collected by the municipality or disbursed by the Department
7 as required by this Section. Within 10 days after January 14,

21 July 1, 1990 through September 30, 1990, plus amounts
22 collected by the Department and paid to such municipality

25 July 1 through June 30 shall be an amount equal to the
26 monthly distribution made to each such municipality under the
27 preceding paragraph during this period, excluding the 2
28 months of highest receipts. The distribution made in
29 November 1991 and each year thereafter under this paragraph
30 and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount
31 allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding
32 period of July 1 through June 30. The Department shall

5 A municipality that has not imposed a tax under this
6 Section before the effective date of this amendatory Act of
7 the 91st General Assembly shall not impose such a tax on or
8 after that date. A municipality that has imposed a tax under
9 this Section before the effective date of this amendatory Act
10 of the 91st General Assembly shall not increase the rate of
11 the tax on or after that date. This amendatory Act of the
12 91st General Assembly is a denial and limitation of home rule
13 powers to tax under subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article
14 VII of the Illinois Constitution.
15 (b) The corporate authorities of the municipality may by
16 resolution call for the submission to the electors of the

2 If a municipality imposes a tax on motor fuel pursuant to
3 this Section, it shall be the duty of any person engaged in
4 the retail sale of motor fuel within such municipality to
5 collect such tax from the purchaser at the same time he
6 collects the purchase price of the motor fuel and to pay over
7 such tax to the municipality as prescribed by the ordinance
8 of the municipality imposing such tax.
9 (d) For purposes of this Section, "motor fuel" shall
10 have the same meaning as provided in the "Motor Fuel Tax
11 Law".

25 with the general election law. The question shall be in
26 substantially the following form:
27 "Shall the Salem Civic Center Authority be authorized to
28 impose a retailers' occupation tax, a service occupation
29 tax, and a use tax at the rate of (rate) for the sole

31 maintenance, or financing of a facility of the
32 Authority?"
-119- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Votes shall be recorded as "yes" or "no". If a majority
2 of all votes cast on the proposition are in favor of the
3 proposition, the Authority is authorized to impose the tax.
4 (b) The Authority shall impose the retailers' occupation
5 tax upon all persons engaged in the business of selling
6 tangible personal property at retail in the metropolitan
7 area, at the rate approved by referendum, on the gross

9 within the metropolitan area. The tax imposed under this
10 Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
11 incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
12 Department of Revenue. The Department has full power to
13 administer and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and
14 penalties so collected in the manner provided in this
15 Section; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
16 arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
17 hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with,
18 this Section, the Department and persons who are subject to
19 this Section shall (i) have the same rights, remedies,
20 privileges, immunities, powers and duties, (ii) be subject to
21 the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties,
22 exclusions, exemptions, and definitions of terms, and (iii)
23 employ the same modes of procedure as are prescribed in
24 Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2,
25 2-5, 2-5.5, 2-10 (in respect to all provisions therein other
26 than the State rate of tax), 2-15 through 2-70, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3
27 (except as to the disposition of taxes and penalties
28 collected and provisions related to quarter monthly
29 payments), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l,
30 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13 of the
31 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
32 Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions
33 were set forth in this subsection.
34 If the Authority has not imposed a tax under this
-120- LRB9112104SMdv
1 subsection on the gross receipts from the sale of motor fuel
2 or gasohol before the effective date of this amendatory Act
3 of the 91st General Assembly, then the Authority shall not
4 impose such a tax on or after that date. If the Authority
5 has imposed a tax under this subsection on the gross receipts
6 from the sale of motor fuel or gasohol before the effective
7 date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly,
8 then the Authority shall not increase the rate of the tax on
9 or after that date.
10 Persons subject to any tax imposed under this subsection
11 may reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability by
12 separately stating the tax as an additional charge, which
13 charge may be stated in combination, in a single amount, with
14 State taxes that sellers are required to collect, in
15 accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may
16 prescribe.
17 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
18 be made under this subsection to a claimant instead of
19 issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the
20 State Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
21 for the amount specified, and to the person named, in the
22 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid
23 by the State Treasurer out of the tax fund referenced under
24 paragraph (g) of this Section.
25 If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax
26 shall also be imposed at the same rate under subsections (c)
27 and (d) of this Section.
28 For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
29 under this Section is applicable, a retail sale, by a
30 producer of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a
31 sale at retail at the place where the coal or other mineral
32 mined in Illinois is extracted from the earth. This
33 paragraph does not apply to coal or other mineral when it is
34 delivered or shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a
-121- LRB9112104SMdv
1 point outside Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the
2 Federal Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign
3 commerce.
4 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
5 the Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
6 in any business which under the Constitution of the United
7 States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
8 (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
9 service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
10 upon all persons engaged, in the metropolitan area, in the
11 business of making sales of service, who, as an incident to
12 making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal
13 property within the metropolitan area as an incident to a
14 sale of service. The tax imposed under this subsection and
15 all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident
16 thereof shall be collected and enforced by the Department of
17 Revenue. The Department has full power to administer and
18 enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes and penalties
19 due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected
20 in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all
21 rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the
22 erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
23 administration of, and compliance with this paragraph, the
24 Department and persons who are subject to this paragraph
25 shall (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
26 immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to the same
27 conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions,
28 exemptions, and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the
29 same modes of procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2
30 (except that the reference to State in the definition of
31 supplier maintaining a place of business in this State shall
32 mean the metropolitan area), 2a, 2b, 3 through 3-55 (in
33 respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate
34 of tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be
-122- LRB9112104SMdv
1 to the Authority), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to
2 which the tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in that
3 Section 8 shall be the Authority), 9 (except as to the
4 disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
5 the returned merchandise credit for this tax may not be taken
6 against any State tax), 11, 12 (except the reference therein
7 to Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13
8 (except that any reference to the State shall mean the
9 Authority), 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service
10 Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and
11 Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were set forth
12 herein.
13 If the Authority has not imposed a tax under this
14 subsection on the cost price of motor fuel or gasohol before
15 the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General
16 Assembly, then the Authority shall not impose such a tax on
17 or after that date. If the Authority has imposed a tax under
18 this subsection on the cost price of motor fuel or gasohol
19 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
20 General Assembly, then the Authority shall not increase the
21 rate of the tax on or after that date.
22 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
23 granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
24 serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the tax as
25 an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
26 combination, in a single amount, with State tax that
27 servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service Use
28 Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket schedules as the
29 Department may prescribe.
30 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
31 be made under this subsection to a claimant instead of
32 issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the
33 State Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
34 for the amount specified, and to the person named, in the
-123- LRB9112104SMdv
1 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid
2 by the State Treasurer out of the tax fund referenced under
3 paragraph (g) of this Section.
4 Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
5 the Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
6 in any business which under the Constitution of the United
7 States may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
8 (d) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
9 use tax shall also be imposed at the same rate upon the
10 privilege of using, in the metropolitan area, any item of
11 tangible personal property that is purchased outside the
12 metropolitan area at retail from a retailer, and that is
13 titled or registered at a location within the metropolitan
14 area with an agency of this State's government. "Selling
15 price" is defined as in the Use Tax Act. The tax shall be
16 collected from persons whose Illinois address for titling or
17 registration purposes is given as being in the metropolitan
18 area. The tax shall be collected by the Department of
19 Revenue for the Authority. The tax must be paid to the State,
20 or an exemption determination must be obtained from the
21 Department of Revenue, before the title or certificate of
22 registration for the property may be issued. The tax or
23 proof of exemption may be transmitted to the Department by
24 way of the State agency with which, or the State officer with
25 whom, the tangible personal property must be titled or
26 registered if the Department and the State agency or State
27 officer determine that this procedure will expedite the
28 processing of applications for title or registration.
29 The Department has full power to administer and enforce
30 this paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties and interest
31 due hereunder; to dispose of taxes, penalties and interest so
32 collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to
33 determine all rights to credit memoranda or refunds arising
34 on account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty or
-124- LRB9112104SMdv
1 interest hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance
2 with, this subsection, the Department and persons who are
3 subject to this paragraph shall (i) have the same rights,
4 remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be
5 subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
6 penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and definitions of terms,
7 and (iii) employ the same modes of procedure as are
8 prescribed in Sections 2 (except the definition of "retailer
9 maintaining a place of business in this State"), 3, 3-5,
10 3-10, 3-45, 3-55, 3-65, 3-70, 3-85, 3a, 4, 6, 7, 8 (except
11 that the jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to the
12 extent indicated in that Section 8 shall be the Authority), 9
13 (except provisions relating to quarter monthly payments), 10,
14 11, 12, 12a, 12b, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, and 22 of the Use
15 Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest
16 Act, that are not inconsistent with this paragraph, as fully
17 as if those provisions were set forth herein.
18 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
19 be made under this subsection to a claimant instead of
20 issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the

22 the amount specified, and to the person named, in the
23 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid by
24 the State Treasurer out of the tax fund referenced under
25 paragraph (g) of this Section.
26 (e) A certificate of registration issued by the State
27 Department of Revenue to a retailer under the Retailers'
28 Occupation Tax Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act
29 shall permit the registrant to engage in a business that is
30 taxed under the tax imposed under paragraphs (b), (c), or (d)
31 of this Section and no additional registration shall be
32 required. A certificate issued under the Use Tax Act or the
33 Service Use Tax Act shall be applicable with regard to any
34 tax imposed under paragraph (c) of this Section.

6 ordinance imposing, discontinuing, or effecting a change in
7 the rate of tax under this Section shall be adopted and a

30 Authority.
31 (h) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement
32 to the Authority under this Section, the Department shall
33 increase or decrease the amounts by an amount necessary to
34 offset any miscalculation of previous disbursements. The
-126- LRB9112104SMdv
1 offset amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed
2 within the previous 6 months from the time a miscalculation

21 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the
22 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
23 Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions
24 were set forth herein.
25 If the Board has not imposed a tax under this subsection
26 on the gross receipts from the sale of motor fuel or gasohol
27 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
28 General Assembly, then the Board shall not impose such a tax
29 on or after that date. If the Board has imposed a tax under
30 this subsection on the gross receipts from the sale of motor
31 fuel or gasohol before the effective date of this amendatory
32 Act of the 91st General Assembly, then the Board shall not
33 increase the rate of the tax on or after that date.
34 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the Section may
-128- LRB9112104SMdv
1 reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability
2 hereunder by separately stating the tax as an additional
3 charge, which charge may be stated in combination, in a
4 single amount, with State taxes that sellers are required to
5 collect under the Use Tax Act, in accordance with such
6 bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
7 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
8 be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
9 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
10 Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
11 amount specified, and to the person named, in the
12 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid
13 by the State Treasurer out of the Metro East Mass Transit
14 District tax fund established under paragraph (g) of this
15 Section.
16 If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax
17 shall also be imposed under subsections (c) and (d) of this
18 Section.
19 For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
20 under this Section is applicable, a retail sale, by a
21 producer of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a
22 sale at retail at the place where the coal or other mineral
23 mined in Illinois is extracted from the earth. This
24 paragraph does not apply to coal or other mineral when it is
25 delivered or shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a
26 point outside Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the
27 Federal Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign
28 commerce.
29 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
30 the Metro East Mass Transit District to impose a tax upon the
31 privilege of engaging in any business which under the
32 Constitution of the United States may not be made the subject
33 of taxation by this State.
34 (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
-129- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Metro East Mass Transit District Service Occupation Tax shall
2 also be imposed upon all persons engaged, in the district, in
3 the business of making sales of service, who, as an incident
4 to making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal
5 property within the District, either in the form of tangible
6 personal property or in the form of real estate as an
7 incident to a sale of service. The tax rate shall be 1/4%, or
8 as authorized under subsection (d-5) of this Section, of the
9 selling price of tangible personal property so transferred
10 within the district. The tax imposed under this paragraph
11 and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident
12 thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State
13 Department of Revenue. The Department shall have full power
14 to administer and enforce this paragraph; to collect all
15 taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
16 penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided;
17 and to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on
18 account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.

21 shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
22 powers and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
23 restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions
24 and definitions of terms and employ the same modes of
25 procedure as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2 (except that
26 the reference to State in the definition of supplier
27 maintaining a place of business in this State shall mean the
28 Authority), 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions
29 therein other than the State rate of tax), 4 (except that the
30 reference to the State shall be to the Authority), 5, 7, 8
31 (except that the jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a
32 debt to the extent indicated in that Section 8 shall be the
33 District), 9 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
34 penalties collected, and except that the returned merchandise
-130- LRB9112104SMdv
1 credit for this tax may not be taken against any State tax),
2 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b of the
3 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference
4 to the State shall mean the District), the first paragraph of
5 Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service Occupation
6 Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest
7 Act, as fully as if those provisions were set forth herein.
8 If the Board has not imposed a tax under this subsection
9 on the selling price of motor fuel or gasohol before the
10 effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General
11 Assembly, then the Board shall not impose such a tax on or
12 after that date. If the Board has imposed a tax under this
13 subsection on the selling price of motor fuel or gasohol
14 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
15 General Assembly, then the Board shall not increase the rate
16 of the tax on or after that date.
17 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
18 granted in this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their
19 serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
20 the tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated
21 in combination, in a single amount, with State tax that
22 servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service Use
23 Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket schedules as the
24 Department may prescribe.
25 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
26 be made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing
27 a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
28 Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
29 amount specified, and to the person named, in the
30 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid
31 by the State Treasurer out of the Metro East Mass Transit
32 District tax fund established under paragraph (g) of this
33 Section.
34 Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
-131- LRB9112104SMdv
1 the District to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
2 in any business which under the Constitution of the United
3 States may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
4 (d) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
5 Metro East Mass Transit District Use Tax shall also be
6 imposed upon the privilege of using, in the district, any
7 item of tangible personal property that is purchased outside
8 the district at retail from a retailer, and that is titled or
9 registered with an agency of this State's government, at a
10 rate of 1/4%, or as authorized under subsection (d-5) of this
11 Section, of the selling price of the tangible personal
12 property within the District, as "selling price" is defined
13 in the Use Tax Act. The tax shall be collected from persons
14 whose Illinois address for titling or registration purposes
15 is given as being in the District. The tax shall be
16 collected by the Department of Revenue for the Metro East
17 Mass Transit District. The tax must be paid to the State, or
18 an exemption determination must be obtained from the
19 Department of Revenue, before the title or certificate of
20 registration for the property may be issued. The tax or
21 proof of exemption may be transmitted to the Department by
22 way of the State agency with which, or the State officer with
23 whom, the tangible personal property must be titled or
24 registered if the Department and the State agency or State
25 officer determine that this procedure will expedite the
26 processing of applications for title or registration.
27 The Department shall have full power to administer and
28 enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties and
29 interest due hereunder; to dispose of taxes, penalties and
30 interest so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
31 to determine all rights to credit memoranda or refunds
32 arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty
33 or interest hereunder. In the administration of, and
34 compliance with, this paragraph, the Department and persons
-132- LRB9112104SMdv
1 who are subject to this paragraph shall have the same rights,
2 remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
3 subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
4 penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms
5 and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
6 Sections 2 (except the definition of "retailer maintaining a
7 place of business in this State"), 3 through 3-80 (except
8 provisions pertaining to the State rate of tax, and except
9 provisions concerning collection or refunding of the tax by
10 retailers), 4, 11, 12, 12a, 14, 15, 19 (except the portions
11 pertaining to claims by retailers and except the last
12 paragraph concerning refunds), 20, 21 and 22 of the Use Tax
13 Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act,
14 that are not inconsistent with this paragraph, as fully as if
15 those provisions were set forth herein.
16 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
17 be made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing
18 a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
19 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
20 amount specified, and to the person named, in the
21 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid by
22 the State Treasurer out of the Metro East Mass Transit
23 District tax fund established under paragraph (g) of this
24 Section.
25 (d-5) The county board of any county participating in
26 the Metro East Mass Transit District may authorize, by
27 ordinance, a referendum on the question of whether the tax
28 rates for the Metro East Mass Transit District Retailers'
29 Occupation Tax, the Metro East Mass Transit District Service
30 Occupation Tax, and the Metro East Mass Transit District Use
31 Tax for the District should be increased from 0.25% to 0.75%.
32 Upon adopting the ordinance, the county board shall certify
33 the proposition to the proper election officials who shall
34 submit the proposition to the voters of the District at the
-133- LRB9112104SMdv
1 next election, in accordance with the general election law.
2 The proposition shall be in substantially the following
3 form:
4 Shall the tax rates for the Metro East Mass Transit
5 District Retailers' Occupation Tax, the Metro East Mass
6 Transit District Service Occupation Tax, and the Metro
7 East Mass Transit District Use Tax be increased from
8 0.25% to 0.75%?
9 The votes shall be recorded as "YES" or "NO". If a
10 majority of all votes cast on the proposition are for the
11 increase in the tax rates, the Metro East Mass Transit
12 District shall begin imposing the increased rates in the
13 District, and the Department of Revenue shall begin
14 collecting the increased amounts, as provided under this
15 Section. An ordinance imposing or discontinuing a tax
16 hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be
17 adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the
18 Department on or before the first day of October, whereupon
19 the Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
20 Section as of the first day of January next following the
21 adoption and filing.
22 If the voters have approved a referendum under this
23 subsection, before November 1, 1994, to increase the tax rate
24 under this subsection, the Metro East Mass Transit District
25 Board of Trustees may adopt by a majority vote an ordinance
26 at any time before January 1, 1995 that excludes from the
27 rate increase tangible personal property that is titled or
28 registered with an agency of this State's government. The
29 ordinance excluding titled or registered tangible personal
30 property from the rate increase must be filed with the
31 Department at least 15 days before its effective date. At any
32 time after adopting an ordinance excluding from the rate
33 increase tangible personal property that is titled or
34 registered with an agency of this State's government, the
-134- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Metro East Mass Transit District Board of Trustees may adopt
2 an ordinance applying the rate increase to that tangible
3 personal property. The ordinance shall be adopted, and a
4 certified copy of that ordinance shall be filed with the
5 Department, on or before October 1, whereupon the Department
6 shall proceed to administer and enforce the rate increase
7 against tangible personal property titled or registered with
8 an agency of this State's government as of the following
9 January 1. After December 31, 1995, any reimposed rate
10 increase in effect under this subsection shall no longer
11 apply to tangible personal property titled or registered with
12 an agency of this State's government. Beginning January 1,
13 1996, the Board of Trustees of any Metro East Mass Transit
14 District may never reimpose a previously excluded tax rate
15 increase on tangible personal property titled or registered
16 with an agency of this State's government.
17 (d-6) If the Board of Trustees of any Metro East Mass
18 Transit District has imposed a rate increase under subsection
19 (d-5) and filed an ordinance with the Department of Revenue
20 excluding titled property from the higher rate, then that
21 Board may, by ordinance adopted with the concurrence of
22 two-thirds of the then trustees, impose throughout the
23 District a fee. The fee on the excluded property shall not
24 exceed $20 per retail transaction or an amount equal to the
25 amount of tax excluded, whichever is less, on tangible
26 personal property that is titled or registered with an agency
27 of this State's government. The Board of Trustees of any
28 Metro East Mass Transit District shall have full power to
29 administer and enforce this subsection and to determine all
30 rights to credit memoranda or refunds arising on account of
31 the erroneous payment of the fee hereunder. The Board shall
32 proceed to administer and enforce this subsection as of the
33 first day of the second month following the adoption of the
34 ordinance.
-135- LRB9112104SMdv
1 (d-7) If a fee has been imposed under subsection (d-6),
2 a fee shall also be imposed upon the privilege of using, in
3 the district, any item of tangible personal property that is
4 titled or registered with any agency of this State's
5 government, in an amount equal to the amount of the fee
6 imposed under subsection (d-6). The Board of Trustees of any
7 Metro East Mass Transit District shall have full power to
8 administer and enforce this subsection and to determine all
9 rights to credit memoranda or refunds arising on account of
10 the erroneous payment of the fee hereunder. The Board shall
11 proceed to administer and enforce this subsection
12 concurrently with the administration of the fee imposed under
13 subsection (d-6).
14 (d-8) No item of titled property shall be subject to
15 both the higher rate approved by referendum, as authorized
16 under subsection (d-5), and any fee imposed under subsection
17 (d-6) or (d-7).
18 (d-9) If fees have been imposed under subsections (d-6)
19 and (d-7), the Board shall forward a copy of the ordinance
20 adopting such fees, which shall include all zip codes in
21 whole or in part within the boundaries of the district, to
22 the Secretary of State within thirty days. By the 25th of
23 each month, the Secretary of State shall subsequently provide
24 the Board with a list of identifiable retail transactions
25 subject to the .25% rate occurring within the zip codes which
26 are in whole or in part within the boundaries of the district
27 and a list of title applications for addresses within the
28 boundaries of the district for the previous month.
29 (d-10) In the event that a retailer fails to pay
30 applicable fees within 30 days of the date of the
31 transaction, a penalty shall be assessed at the rate of 25%
32 of the amount of fees. Interest on both late fees and
33 penalties shall be assessed at the rate of 1% per month. All
34 fees, penalties, and attorney fees shall constitute a lien on
-136- LRB9112104SMdv
1 the personal and real property of the retailer. The Board of
2 Trustees of any Metro East Transit District shall have full
3 power to administer and enforce this subsection.
4 (e) A certificate of registration issued by the State
5 Department of Revenue to a retailer under the Retailers'
6 Occupation Tax Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act
7 shall permit the registrant to engage in a business that is
8 taxed under the tax imposed under paragraphs (b), (c) or (d)
9 of this Section and no additional registration shall be
10 required under the tax. A certificate issued under the Use
11 Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act shall be applicable with
12 regard to any tax imposed under paragraph (c) of this
13 Section.
14 (f) The Board may impose a replacement vehicle tax of
15 $50 on any passenger car, as defined in Section 1-157 of the
16 Illinois Vehicle Code, purchased within the district area by
17 or on behalf of an insurance company to replace a passenger
18 car of an insured person in settlement of a total loss claim.
19 The tax imposed may not become effective before the first day
20 of the month following the passage of the ordinance imposing
21 the tax and receipt of a certified copy of the ordinance by
22 the Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue shall
23 collect the tax for the district in accordance with Sections
24 3-2002 and 3-2003 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
25 The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
26 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes collected
27 hereunder. On or before the 25th day of each calendar month,
28 the Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller
29 the disbursement of stated sums of money to named districts,
30 the districts to be those from which retailers have paid
31 taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the
32 second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to
33 each district shall be the amount collected hereunder during
34 the second preceding calendar month by the Department, less
-137- LRB9112104SMdv
1 any amount determined by the Department to be necessary for
2 the payment of refunds. Within 10 days after receipt by the
3 Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the
4 districts, provided for in this Section to be given to the
5 Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause
6 the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in
7 accordance with the directions contained in the
8 certification.
9 (g) Any ordinance imposing or discontinuing any tax
10 under this Section shall be adopted and a certified copy
11 thereof filed with the Department on or before June 1,
12 whereupon the Department of Revenue shall proceed to
13 administer and enforce this Section on behalf of the Metro
14 East Mass Transit District as of September 1 next following
15 such adoption and filing. Beginning January 1, 1992, an
16 ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax
17 hereunder shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed
18 with the Department on or before the first day of July,
19 whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer and
20 enforce this Section as of the first day of October next
21 following such adoption and filing. Beginning January 1,

30 collecting any taxes as provided in this Section, pay the
31 taxes over to the State Treasurer as trustee for the
32 District. The taxes shall be held in a trust fund outside the
33 State Treasury. On or before the 25th day of each calendar
34 month, the State Department of Revenue shall prepare and
-138- LRB9112104SMdv
1 certify to the Comptroller of the State of Illinois the
2 amount to be paid to the District, which shall be the then
3 balance in the fund, less any amount determined by the
4 Department to be necessary for the payment of refunds. Within

10 Section 45. The Regional Transportation Authority Act is
11 amended by changing Section 4.03 as follows:

13 Sec. 4.03. Taxes.
14 (a) In order to carry out any of the powers or purposes
15 of the Authority, the Board may by ordinance adopted with the
16 concurrence of 9 of the then Directors, impose throughout the
17 metropolitan region any or all of the taxes provided in this
18 Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Act, taxes
19 imposed under this Section and civil penalties imposed
20 incident thereto shall be collected and enforced by the State
21 Department of Revenue. The Department shall have the power to
22 administer and enforce the taxes and to determine all rights
23 for refunds for erroneous payments of the taxes.
24 (b) The Board may impose a public transportation tax
25 upon all persons engaged in the metropolitan region in the
26 business of selling at retail motor fuel for operation of
27 motor vehicles upon public highways. The tax shall be at a
28 rate not to exceed 5% of the gross receipts from the sales of
29 motor fuel in the course of the business. As used in this
30 Act, the term "motor fuel" shall have the same meaning as in
31 the Motor Fuel Tax Act. The Board may provide for details of
32 the tax. The provisions of any tax shall conform, as closely
-139- LRB9112104SMdv
1 as may be practicable, to the provisions of the Municipal
2 Retailers Occupation Tax Act, including without limitation,
3 conformity to penalties with respect to the tax imposed and
4 as to the powers of the State Department of Revenue to
5 promulgate and enforce rules and regulations relating to the
6 administration and enforcement of the provisions of the tax
7 imposed, except that reference in the Act to any municipality
8 shall refer to the Authority and the tax shall be imposed
9 only with regard to receipts from sales of motor fuel in the
10 metropolitan region, at rates as limited by this Section.
11 If the Board has not imposed a tax under this subsection
12 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
13 General Assembly, then the Board shall not impose such a tax
14 on or after that date. If the Board has imposed a tax under

16 Act of the 91st General Assembly, then the Board shall not
17 increase the rate of the tax on or after that date.
18 (c) In connection with the tax imposed under paragraph
19 (b) of this Section the Board may impose a tax upon the
20 privilege of using in the metropolitan region motor fuel for
21 the operation of a motor vehicle upon public highways, the
22 tax to be at a rate not in excess of the rate of tax imposed
23 under paragraph (b) of this Section. The Board may provide
24 for details of the tax.
25 If the Board has not imposed a tax under this subsection
26 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
27 General Assembly, then the Board shall not impose such a tax
28 on or after that date. If the Board has imposed a tax under

2 and exemptions to the tax, for administration and enforcement
3 thereof and for civil penalties and refunds thereunder and
4 may provide criminal penalties thereunder, the maximum
5 penalties not to exceed the maximum criminal penalties
6 provided in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. The Authority
7 may collect and enforce the tax itself or by contract with
8 any unit of local government. The State Department of
9 Revenue shall have no responsibility for the collection and
10 enforcement unless the Department agrees with the Authority
11 to undertake the collection and enforcement. As used in this
12 paragraph, the term "parking facility" means a parking area
13 or structure having parking spaces for more than 2 vehicles
14 at which motor vehicles are permitted to park in return for
15 an hourly, daily, or other periodic fee, whether publicly or
16 privately owned, but does not include parking spaces on a
17 public street, the use of which is regulated by parking
18 meters.
19 (e) The Board may impose a Regional Transportation
20 Authority Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged
21 in the business of selling tangible personal property at
22 retail in the metropolitan region. In Cook County the tax
23 rate shall be 1% of the gross receipts from sales of food for
24 human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
25 where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks
26 and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption)
27 and prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs,
28 medical appliances and insulin, urine testing materials,
29 syringes and needles used by diabetics, and 3/4% of the gross
30 receipts from other taxable sales made in the course of that
31 business. In DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties,
32 the tax rate shall be 1/4% of the gross receipts from all
33 taxable sales made in the course of that business. The tax
34 imposed under this Section and all civil penalties that may
-141- LRB9112104SMdv
1 be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
2 enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The Department
3 shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
4 to collect all taxes and penalties so collected in the manner
5 hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights to credit
6 memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax
7 or penalty hereunder. In the administration of, and
8 compliance with this Section, the Department and persons who
9 are subject to this Section shall have the same rights,
10 remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
11 subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
12 penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms,
13 and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
14 Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65
15 (in respect to all provisions therein other than the State
16 rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes
17 and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g,

19 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the
20 Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those
21 provisions were set forth herein.
22 If the Board has not imposed a tax under this subsection
23 on the gross receipts from the sale of motor fuel or gasohol
24 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
25 General Assembly, then the Board shall not impose such a tax
26 on or after that date. If the Board has imposed a tax under
27 this subsection on the gross receipts from the sale of motor
28 fuel or gasohol before the effective date of this amendatory
29 Act of the 91st General Assembly, then the Board shall not
30 increase the rate of the tax on or after that date.
31 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
32 granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
33 seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the
34 tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
-142- LRB9112104SMdv
1 combination in a single amount with State taxes that sellers
2 are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, under any
3 bracket schedules the Department may prescribe.
4 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
5 be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
6 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
7 Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
8 amount specified, and to the person named, in the
9 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid
10 by the State Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation
11 Authority tax fund established under paragraph (n) of this
12 Section.
13 If a tax is imposed under this subsection (e), a tax
14 shall also be imposed under subsections (f) and (g) of this
15 Section.
16 For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
17 under this Section is applicable, a retail sale by a producer
18 of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at
19 retail at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
20 Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not
21 apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
22 shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
23 Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the Federal
24 Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
25 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
26 the Regional Transportation Authority to impose a tax upon
27 the privilege of engaging in any business that under the
28 Constitution of the United States may not be made the subject
29 of taxation by this State.
30 (f) If a tax has been imposed under paragraph (e), a tax
31 shall also be imposed upon all persons engaged, in the
32 metropolitan region in the business of making sales of
33 service, who as an incident to making the sales of service,
34 transfer tangible personal property within the metropolitan
-143- LRB9112104SMdv
1 region, either in the form of tangible personal property or
2 in the form of real estate as an incident to a sale of
3 service. In Cook County, the tax rate shall be: (1) 1% of
4 the serviceman's cost price of food prepared for immediate
5 consumption and transferred incident to a sale of service
6 subject to the service occupation tax by an entity licensed
7 under the Hospital Licensing Act or the Nursing Home Care Act
8 that is located in the metropolitan region; (2) 1% of the
9 selling price of food for human consumption that is to be
10 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
11 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food that has been
12 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
13 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
14 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used
15 by diabetics; and (3) 3/4% of the selling price from other
16 taxable sales of tangible personal property transferred. In
17 DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will Counties the rate shall
18 be 1/4% of the selling price of all tangible personal
19 property transferred.
20 The tax imposed under this paragraph and all civil
21 penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall
22 be collected and enforced by the State Department of Revenue.
23 The Department shall have full power to administer and
24 enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes and penalties
25 due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties collected in
26 the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights
27 to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
28 payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration
29 of and compliance with this paragraph, the Department and
30 persons who are subject to this paragraph shall have the same
31 rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties,
32 and be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
33 limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions and
34 definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
-144- LRB9112104SMdv
1 as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in
2 respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate
3 of tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be
4 to the Authority), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to
5 which the tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in that
6 Section 8 shall be the Authority), 9 (except as to the
7 disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
8 the returned merchandise credit for this tax may not be taken
9 against any State tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference
10 therein to Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act),
11 13 (except that any reference to the State shall mean the
12 Authority), the first paragraph of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
13 and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of
14 the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those
15 provisions were set forth herein.
16 If the Board has not imposed a tax under this subsection
17 on the selling price of motor fuel or gasohol before the
18 effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General
19 Assembly, then the Board shall not impose such a tax on or
20 after that date. If the Board has imposed a tax under this
21 subsection on the selling price of motor fuel or gasohol
22 before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
23 General Assembly, then the Board shall not increase the rate
24 of the tax on or after that date.
25 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
26 granted in this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their
27 serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
28 the tax as an additional charge, that charge may be stated in
29 combination in a single amount with State tax that servicemen
30 are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act,
31 under any bracket schedules the Department may prescribe.
32 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
33 be made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing
34 a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
-145- LRB9112104SMdv
1 Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
2 amount specified, and to the person named in the notification
3 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
4 Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax
5 fund established under paragraph (n) of this Section.
6 Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
7 the Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
8 in any business that under the Constitution of the United
9 States may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
10 (g) If a tax has been imposed under paragraph (e), a tax
11 shall also be imposed upon the privilege of using in the
12 metropolitan region, any item of tangible personal property
13 that is purchased outside the metropolitan region at retail
14 from a retailer, and that is titled or registered with an
15 agency of this State's government. In Cook County the tax
16 rate shall be 3/4% of the selling price of the tangible
17 personal property, as "selling price" is defined in the Use
18 Tax Act. In DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties
19 the tax rate shall be 1/4% of the selling price of the
20 tangible personal property, as "selling price" is defined in
21 the Use Tax Act. The tax shall be collected from persons
22 whose Illinois address for titling or registration purposes
23 is given as being in the metropolitan region. The tax shall
24 be collected by the Department of Revenue for the Regional
25 Transportation Authority. The tax must be paid to the State,
26 or an exemption determination must be obtained from the
27 Department of Revenue, before the title or certificate of
28 registration for the property may be issued. The tax or proof
29 of exemption may be transmitted to the Department by way of
30 the State agency with which, or the State officer with whom,
31 the tangible personal property must be titled or registered
32 if the Department and the State agency or State officer
33 determine that this procedure will expedite the processing of
34 applications for title or registration.
-146- LRB9112104SMdv
1 The Department shall have full power to administer and
2 enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties and
3 interest due hereunder; to dispose of taxes, penalties and
4 interest collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to
5 determine all rights to credit memoranda or refunds arising
6 on account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty or
7 interest hereunder. In the administration of and compliance
8 with this paragraph, the Department and persons who are
9 subject to this paragraph shall have the same rights,
10 remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
11 subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,

13 and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
14 Sections 2 (except the definition of "retailer maintaining a
15 place of business in this State"), 3 through 3-80 (except
16 provisions pertaining to the State rate of tax, and except
17 provisions concerning collection or refunding of the tax by
18 retailers), 4, 11, 12, 12a, 14, 15, 19 (except the portions

21 Act, and are not inconsistent with this paragraph, as fully

7 average monthly distribution during the preceding calendar
8 year (excluding the 2 months of lowest receipts) and the
9 allocation shall include the amount of average monthly

15 preceding calendar year. The Department of Revenue shall

26 under subsection (e) of Section 4.03 of the Regional
27 Transportation Authority Act, in accordance with such bracket
28 schedules as the Department may prescribe.
29 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should

31 a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
32 Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
33 amount specified, and to the person named, in the

3 For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
4 under this paragraph is applicable, a retail sale by a
5 producer of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale
6 at retail at the place where the coal or other mineral mined
7 in Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does
8 not apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or

28 civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof
29 shall be collected and enforced by the State Department of
30 Revenue. The Department shall have full power to administer
31 and enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes and
32 penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so
33 collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to
34 determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account
-155- LRB9112104SMdv
1 of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
2 administration of, and compliance with, this paragraph, the

4 shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
5 powers and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
6 restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions
7 and definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of
8 procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2 (except that
9 the reference to State in the definition of supplier
10 maintaining a place of business in this State shall mean the
11 territory of the commission), 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in respect

22 jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to the extent
23 indicated in that Section 8 shall be the commission), 9
24 (except as to the disposition of taxes and penalties
25 collected and except that the returned merchandise credit for
26 this tax may not be taken against any State tax), 10, 11, 12
27 (except the reference therein to Section 2b of the Retailers'
28 Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference to the
29 State shall mean the territory of the commission), the first
30 paragraph of Section 15, 15.5, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the
31 Service Occupation Tax Act as fully as if those provisions
32 were set forth herein.
33 If the board of commissioners has not imposed a tax under
34 this subsection on the selling price of motor fuel or gasohol

3 on or after that date. If the board of commissioners has
4 imposed a tax under this subsection on the selling price of
5 motor fuel or gasohol before the effective date of this
6 amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, then the board
7 shall not increase the rate of the tax on or after that date.
8 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
9 granted in this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their
10 serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
11 the tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated
12 in combination, in a single amount, with State tax that
13 servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service Use
14 Tax Act, and any tax for which servicemen may be liable under
15 subsection (f) of Sec. 4.03 of the Regional Transportation
16 Authority Act, in accordance with such bracket schedules as
17 the Department may prescribe.
18 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
19 be made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing
20 a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
21 Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
22 amount specified, and to the person named, in the
23 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid
24 by the State Treasurer out of a county water commission tax
25 fund established under paragraph (g) of this Section.
26 Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
27 a county water commission to impose a tax upon the privilege
28 of engaging in any business which under the Constitution of
29 the United States may not be made the subject of taxation by
30 the State.
31 (d) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
32 tax shall also imposed upon the privilege of using, in the
33 territory of the commission, any item of tangible personal
34 property that is purchased outside the territory at retail
-157- LRB9112104SMdv
1 from a retailer, and that is titled or registered with an
2 agency of this State's government, at a rate of 1/4% of the
3 selling price of the tangible personal property within the
4 territory, as "selling price" is defined in the Use Tax Act.
5 The tax shall be collected from persons whose Illinois
6 address for titling or registration purposes is given as
7 being in the territory. The tax shall be collected by the
8 Department of Revenue for a county water commission. The tax
9 must be paid to the State, or an exemption determination must
10 be obtained from the Department of Revenue, before the title
11 or certificate of registration for the property may be
12 issued. The tax or proof of exemption may be transmitted to
13 the Department by way of the State agency with which, or the
14 State officer with whom, the tangible personal property must
15 be titled or registered if the Department and the State
16 agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
17 expedite the processing of applications for title or
18 registration.
19 The Department shall have full power to administer and
20 enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties and
21 interest due hereunder; to dispose of taxes, penalties and
22 interest so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
23 to determine all rights to credit memoranda or refunds
24 arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty
25 or interest hereunder. In the administration of, and
26 compliance with this paragraph, the Department and persons
27 who are subject to this paragraph shall have the same rights,
28 remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
29 subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
30 penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms
31 and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
32 Sections 2 (except the definition of "retailer maintaining a
33 place of business in this State"), 3 through 3-80 (except
34 provisions pertaining to the State rate of tax, and except
-158- LRB9112104SMdv
1 provisions concerning collection or refunding of the tax by
2 retailers, and except that food for human consumption that is
3 to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
4 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been
5 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
6 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
7 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used
8 by diabetics, for human use, shall not be subject to tax
9 hereunder), 4, 11, 12, 12a, 14, 15, 19 (except the portions
10 pertaining to claims by retailers and except the last
11 paragraph concerning refunds), 20, 21 and 22 of the Use Tax
12 Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act
13 that are not inconsistent with this paragraph, as fully as if
14 those provisions were set forth herein.
15 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
16 be made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing
17 a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
18 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
19 amount specified, and to the person named, in the
20 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid
21 by the State Treasurer out of a county water commission tax
22 fund established under paragraph (g) of this Section.
23 (e) A certificate of registration issued by the State
24 Department of Revenue to a retailer under the Retailers'
25 Occupation Tax Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act
26 shall permit the registrant to engage in a business that is
27 taxed under the tax imposed under paragraphs (b), (c) or (d)
28 of this Section and no additional registration shall be
29 required under the tax. A certificate issued under the Use
30 Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act shall be applicable with
31 regard to any tax imposed under paragraph (c) of this
32 Section.
33 (f) Any ordinance imposing or discontinuing any tax
34 under this Section shall be adopted and a certified copy
-159- LRB9112104SMdv
1 thereof filed with the Department on or before June 1,
2 whereupon the Department of Revenue shall proceed to
3 administer and enforce this Section on behalf of the county
4 water commission as of September 1 next following the
5 adoption and filing. Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance
6 or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax hereunder
7 shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the
8 Department on or before the first day of July, whereupon the
9 Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
10 Section as of the first day of October next following such
11 adoption and filing. Beginning January 1, 1993, an ordinance
12 or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax hereunder
13 shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the
14 Department on or before the first day of October, whereupon
15 the Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
16 Section as of the first day of January next following such
17 adoption and filing.
18 (g) The State Department of Revenue shall, upon
19 collecting any taxes as provided in this Section, pay the
20 taxes over to the State Treasurer as trustee for the
21 commission. The taxes shall be held in a trust fund outside
22 the State Treasury. On or before the 25th day of each
23 calendar month, the State Department of Revenue shall prepare
24 and certify to the Comptroller of the State of Illinois the
25 amount to be paid to the commission, which shall be the then
26 balance in the fund, less any amount determined by the
27 Department to be necessary for the payment of refunds. Within
28 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of the certification
29 of the amount to be paid to the commission, the Comptroller
30 shall cause an order to be drawn for the payment for the
31 amount in accordance with the direction in the certification.
