SB725 Engrossed -3- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 (30 ILCS 105/6z-47 new)
2 Sec. 6z-47. Illinois Aquaculture Development Fund. The
3 Illinois Aquaculture Development Fund is created as a special
4 fund in the State Treasury. The tax revenues that are
5 required to be deposited into the Fund under Section 9 of the
6 Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 9
7 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, and Section 3 of the
8 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall be paid monthly into the
9 Fund beginning July 1, 1999 and ending June 30, 2009 unless
10 otherwise extended by law. The monies in the Fund shall be
11 appropriated to the Department of Agriculture for the
12 purposes of the Aquaculture Cooperative established under the
13 Aquaculture Development Act and incorporated under the
14 Agricultural Co-Operative Act.
15 Section 20. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
16 Section 9 as follows:
17 (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
18 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft,
19 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
20 with an agency of this State, each retailer required or
21 authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
22 to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
23 provided) at the time when he is required to file his return
24 for the period during which such tax was collected, less a
25 discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
26 after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
27 greater, which is allowed to reimburse the retailer for
28 expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
29 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
30 data to the Department on request. In the case of retailers
31 who report and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
32 basis, as provided in this Section, such discount shall be
SB725 Engrossed -4- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 taken with each such tax remittance instead of when such
2 retailer files his periodic return. A retailer need not
3 remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
4 that he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
5 by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the
6 sale of the same property.
7 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
8 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
9 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
10 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
11 return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
12 as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
13 are required to be registered with an agency of this State),
14 may collect for each tax return period, only the tax
15 applicable to that part of the selling price actually
16 received during such tax return period.
17 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
18 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall
19 file a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return
20 shall be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and
21 shall furnish such information as the Department may
22 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 the business of selling tangible
34 personal property at retail in this State;
SB725 Engrossed -5- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
2 him during the preceding calendar month from sales of
3 tangible personal property by him during such preceding
4 calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
5 sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
6 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
7 this Act;
8 5. The amount of tax due;
9 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
10 6. Such other reasonable information as the
11 Department may require.
12 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
13 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
14 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
15 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
16 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
17 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
18 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
19 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
20 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
21 make all payments required by rules of the Department by
22 electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
23 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
24 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
25 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
26 monthly tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's
27 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
28 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
29 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
30 divided by 12.
31 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
32 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
33 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
34 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
SB725 Engrossed -6- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
2 1.
3 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
4 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
5 with the permission of the Department.
6 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
7 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
8 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
9 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
10 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
11 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
12 requirements of this Section.
13 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
14 Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
15 the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act was
16 $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
17 quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
18 month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
19 during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
20 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
21 and last day of the month during which such liability is
22 incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is
23 incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
24 be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
25 liability for the month or an amount set by the Department
26 not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability of the
27 taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
28 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability
29 and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
30 If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
31 begins on or after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1,
32 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
33 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
34 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
SB725 Engrossed -7- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
2 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior to
3 January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
4 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
5 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
6 month of the preceding year. If the month during which such
7 tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
8 and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
9 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
10 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
11 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
12 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
13 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior to
14 January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
15 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
16 of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
17 the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
18 for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount of such
19 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
20 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month. Once
21 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
22 payments to the Department shall continue until such
23 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
24 the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
25 month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
26 is less than $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly
27 liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
28 quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
29 is less than $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
30 Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
31 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
32 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
33 foreseeable future will fall below $10,000, then such
34 taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
SB725 Engrossed -8- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change
2 such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such
3 change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term.
4 If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time
5 or in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer
6 shall be liable for penalties and interest on the difference
7 between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
8 monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as
9 the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to
10 the Department in excess of the minimum payments previously
11 due as provided in this Section. The Department shall make
12 reasonable rules and regulations to govern the quarter
13 monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
14 taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
15 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
16 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
17 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
18 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
19 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit
20 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment,
21 which memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the
22 Department in payment of tax liability subsequently to be
23 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
24 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
25 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
26 or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
27 rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Department,
28 except that if such excess payment is shown on an original
29 monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
30 memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
31 If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such
32 excess payment against tax liability subsequently to be
33 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
34 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
SB725 Engrossed -9- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
2 rules and regulations prescribed by the Department. If the
3 Department subsequently determines that all or any part of
4 the credit taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
5 taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
6 by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
7 and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
8 penalties and interest on such difference.
9 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
10 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
11 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
12 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
13 with the return for January, February, and March of a given
14 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
15 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
16 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
17 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
18 the return for October, November and December of a given year
19 being due by January 20 of the following year.
20 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
21 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
22 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
23 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
24 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
25 20 of the following year.
26 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
27 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
28 monthly returns.
29 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
30 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
31 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
32 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
33 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
34 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
SB725 Engrossed -10- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 month after discontinuing such business.
2 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
3 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
4 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
5 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
6 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
7 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
8 personal property which the retailer sells, except that
9 where, in the same transaction, a retailer of aircraft,
10 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
11 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
12 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
13 the purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report the
14 transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
15 trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on
16 the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
17 For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
18 Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
19 the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft,
20 or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
21 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
22 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
23 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
24 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
25 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
26 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
27 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
28 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
29 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
30 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
31 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
32 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
33 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
34 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
SB725 Engrossed -11- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
2 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
3 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
4 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
5 the property sold; such other information as is required in
6 Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
7 information as the Department may reasonably require.
8 The transaction reporting return in the case of
9 watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
10 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
11 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
12 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
13 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
14 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
15 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
16 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
17 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
18 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
19 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
20 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
21 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
22 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of
23 the property sold, and such other information as the
24 Department may reasonably require.
25 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
26 later than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item
27 that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any
28 time sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The
29 transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of
30 exemption from the tax that is imposed by this Act may be
31 transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
32 which, or State officer with whom, the tangible personal
33 property must be titled or registered (if titling or
34 registration is required) if the Department and such agency
SB725 Engrossed -12- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 or State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
2 the processing of applications for title or registration.
3 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
4 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
5 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
6 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
7 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax
8 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
9 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
10 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
11 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
12 personal property that is involved (if titling or
13 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
14 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
15 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
16 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
17 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
18 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
19 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
20 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
21 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
22 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
23 mandate of this paragraph.
24 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
25 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
26 of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
27 the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user
28 has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
29 to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the
30 Department being satisfied of the truth of such
31 certification) transmit the information required by the
32 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
33 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
34 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
SB725 Engrossed -13- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
2 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
3 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
4 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
5 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
6 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
7 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
8 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
9 Where a retailer 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 retailer refunds the selling price thereof
13 to the purchaser, such retailer 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 retailer may deduct the amount of the
17 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use
18 tax which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to
19 the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
20 tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department
21 by such retailer. If the retailer has not previously
22 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he is
23 entitled to no deduction under this Act upon refunding such
24 tax to the purchaser.
25 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall
26 also include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the
27 total tax covered by such return upon the selling price of
28 tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from a
29 retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
30 collected from the retailer filing such return, and such
31 retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
32 when filing such return.
33 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
34 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
SB725 Engrossed -14- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
2 file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
3 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
4 required by both Acts on the one form.
5 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
6 with the Department under separate registration under this
7 Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
8 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
9 shall file separate returns for each such registered
10 business.
11 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
12 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
13 special fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created,
14 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%
15 tax on sales of food for human consumption which is to be
16 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
17 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which has been
18 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
19 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
20 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used
21 by diabetics.
22 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
23 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
24 of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
25 6.25% general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
26 property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
27 retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of
28 this State's government.
29 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
30 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
31 special fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue
32 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
33 on the selling price of tangible personal property, other
34 than tangible personal property which is purchased outside
SB725 Engrossed -15- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is titled or
2 registered by an agency of this State's government.
3 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
4 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
5 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
6 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
7 property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
8 retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of
9 this State's government.
10 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
11 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
12 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
13 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
14 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in

21 Section 25. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by
22 changing Section 9 as follows:
23 (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
24 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to
25 collect the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department
26 the amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the
27 time when he is required to file his return for the period
28 during which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1%
29 prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1,
30 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
31 allowed to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in
32 collecting the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing
SB725 Engrossed -21- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to the
2 Department on request. A serviceman need not remit that part
3 of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
4 to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
5 Tax Act with respect to his sale of service involving the
6 incidental transfer by him of the same property.
7 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
8 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
9 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
10 month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to
11 be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed
12 on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
13 information as the Department may reasonably require.
14 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
15 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
16 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
17 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
18 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
19 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
20 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
21 stating:
22 1. The name of the seller;
23 2. The address of the principal place of business
24 from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
25 State;
26 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
27 him during the preceding calendar month, including
28 receipts from charge and time sales, but less all
29 deductions allowed by law;
30 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
31 this Act;
32 5. The amount of tax due;
33 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
34 6. Such other reasonable information as the
SB725 Engrossed -22- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 Department may require.
2 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
3 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
4 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
5 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
6 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
7 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
8 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
9 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
10 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
11 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
12 by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
13 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
14 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
15 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
16 monthly tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's
17 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
18 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
19 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
20 divided by 12.
21 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
22 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
23 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
24 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
25 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
26 1.
27 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
28 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
29 with the permission of the Department.
30 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
31 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
32 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
33 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
34 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
SB725 Engrossed -23- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
2 requirements of this Section.
3 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
4 return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability
5 to the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
6 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
7 with the return for January, February and March of a given
8 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
9 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
10 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
11 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
12 the return for October, November and December of a given year
13 being due by January 20 of the following year.
14 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
15 or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly
16 tax liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
17 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
18 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
19 20 of the following year.
20 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
21 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
22 monthly returns.
23 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
24 concerning the time within which a serviceman may file his
25 return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
26 a kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
27 returns under this Act, such serviceman shall file a final
28 return under this Act with the Department not more than 1
29 month after discontinuing such business.
30 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
31 selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
32 thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds
33 the selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
34 shall also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected
SB725 Engrossed -24- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 from the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in
2 which he refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman
3 may deduct the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
4 purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation
5 Tax, retailers' occupation tax or use tax which such
6 serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
7 as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the tax
8 to be deducted shall previously have been remitted to the
9 Department by such serviceman. If the serviceman shall not
10 previously have remitted the amount of such tax to the
11 Department, he shall be entitled to no deduction hereunder
12 upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
13 Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also
14 include the total tax upon the selling price of tangible
15 personal property purchased for use by him as an incident to
16 a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
17 of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
18 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
19 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
20 joint return which will enable servicemen, who are required
21 to file returns hereunder and also under the Service
22 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
23 required by both Acts on the one form.
24 Where the serviceman has more than one business
25 registered with the Department under separate registration
26 hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
27 due as a single return covering all such registered
28 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
29 registered business.
30 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
31 shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
32 fund in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for the
33 preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of food for human
34 consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
SB725 Engrossed -25- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
2 which has been prepared for immediate consumption) and
3 prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical
4 appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
5 needles used by diabetics.
6 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
7 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 20%
8 of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
9 6.25% general rate on transfers of tangible personal
10 property, other than tangible personal property which is
11 purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and
12 which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
13 government.
14 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
15 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
16 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
17 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
18 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
19 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
20 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
21 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
22 to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9
23 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
24 Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
25 hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
26 or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter
27 called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
28 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
29 Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount
30 (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
31 Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
32 paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
33 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and further
34 provided, that if on the last business day of any month the
SB725 Engrossed -26- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
2 the Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund
3 during such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
4 month to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local
5 Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the
6 Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference
7 shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from
8 other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax
9 Acts; and, further provided, that in no event shall the
10 payments required under the preceding proviso result in
11 aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
12 this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater
13 of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
14 for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
15 payable into the Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b)
16 shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
17 on deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued
18 and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
19 sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
20 to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the
21 defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
22 any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and
23 on any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees
24 and costs payable with respect thereto, all as certified by
25 the Director of the Bureau of the Budget. If on the last
26 business day of any month in which Bonds are outstanding
27 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
28 moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond Account in the
29 Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less than the
30 amount required to be transferred in such month from the
31 Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
32 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
33 Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
34 shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
SB725 Engrossed -27- LRB9101596PTpkA

2 Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build

4 shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
5 of the preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount
6 otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b)

19 collect the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department
20 the amount of such tax at the time when he is required to
21 file his return for the period during which such tax was
22 collectible, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
23 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per
24 calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
25 reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting
26 the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
27 remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department on
28 request.
29 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
30 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
31 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
32 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
SB725 Engrossed -31- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 return is filed, the serviceman, in collecting the tax may
2 collect, for each tax return period, only the tax applicable
3 to the part of the selling price actually received during
4 such tax return period.
5 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
6 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
7 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
8 month in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
9 be promulgated by the Department of Revenue. Such return

2 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
3 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
4 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
5 A serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
6 certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
7 Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
8 the purchaser provides the appropriate documentation as
9 required by Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act. A
10 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted by a
11 serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
12 Act, may be used by that serviceman to satisfy Service
13 Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in the
14 certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
15 tax from a qualifying purchase.
16 If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
17 Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
18 his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
19 return for January, February and March of a given year being
20 due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May
21 and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
22 with the return for July, August and September of a given
23 year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
24 return for October, November and December of a given year
25 being due by January 20 of the following year.
26 If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
27 Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
28 his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return
29 for a given year being due by January 20 of the following
30 year.
31 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
32 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
33 monthly returns.
34 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
SB725 Engrossed -33- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 concerning the time within which a serviceman may file his
2 return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
3 a kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
4 returns under this Act, such serviceman shall file a final
5 return under this Act with the Department not more than 1
6 month after discontinuing such business.
7 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
8 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
9 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
10 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
11 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
12 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
13 by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
14 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
15 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
16 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
17 monthly tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's
18 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
19 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
20 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
21 divided by 12.
22 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
23 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
24 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers
25 required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
26 make those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on
27 October 1.
28 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
29 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
30 with the permission of the Department.
31 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
32 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
33 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
34 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
SB725 Engrossed -34- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
2 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
3 requirements of this Section.
4 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
5 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells
6 and the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
7 property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
8 to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
9 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
10 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
11 to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
12 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other
13 Service Occupation Tax, Service Use Tax, Retailers'
14 Occupation Tax or Use Tax which such serviceman may be
15 required to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such
16 return, provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted
17 shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
18 serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
19 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall
20 be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
21 to the purchaser.
22 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
23 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
24 joint return which will enable servicemen, who are required
25 to file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
26 Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax
27 Act, to furnish all the return information required by all
28 said Acts on the one form.
29 Where the serviceman has more than one business
30 registered with the Department under separate registrations
31 hereunder, such serviceman shall file separate returns for
32 each registered business.
33 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
34 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund the revenue
SB725 Engrossed -35- LRB9101596PTpkA

28 overpayment of liability.
29 For greater simplicity of administration, it shall be
30 permissible for manufacturers, importers and wholesalers
31 whose products are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois,
32 and who wish to do so, to assume the responsibility for
33 accounting and paying to the Department all tax accruing

13 If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable
14 or creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less
15 than 50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents
16 or more.
17 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
18 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
19 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
20 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
21 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
22 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
23 by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
24 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
25 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
26 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
27 monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's
28 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
29 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
30 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
31 divided by 12.
32 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
33 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
34 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers
SB725 Engrossed -45- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
2 make those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on
3 October 1.
4 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
5 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
6 with the permission of the Department.
7 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
8 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
9 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
10 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
11 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
12 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
13 requirements of this Section.
14 Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on
15 any return or other document under this Act shall, if such
16 amount is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the
17 nearest whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional
18 part of a dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the
19 nearest whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a
20 dollar is less than 50 cents.
21 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
22 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
23 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
24 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
25 with the return for January, February and March of a given
26 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
27 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
28 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
29 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
30 the return for October, November and December of a given year
31 being due by January 20 of the following year.
32 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
33 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
34 liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
SB725 Engrossed -46- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
2 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
3 20 of the following year.
4 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
5 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
6 monthly returns.
7 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
8 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
9 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
10 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
11 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
12 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
13 month after discontinuing such business.
14 Where the same person has more than one business
15 registered with the Department under separate registrations
16 under this Act, such person may not file each return that is
17 due as a single return covering all such registered
18 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
19 registered business.
20 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
21 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
22 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
23 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
24 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
25 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
26 personal property which the retailer sells, except that
27 where, in the same transaction, a retailer of aircraft,
28 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
29 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
30 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer
31 retailer for the purpose of resale, that seller for resale
32 may report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor
33 vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
34 Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
SB725 Engrossed -47- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft"
2 means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in
3 Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a
4 personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard
5 motor.
6 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
7 aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
8 an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation
9 tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
10 such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
11 required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
12 monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
13 be required to file returns on an annual basis.
14 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
15 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
16 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
17 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois
18 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
19 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
20 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
21 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
22 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
23 if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
24 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
25 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
26 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
27 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
28 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
29 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
30 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
31 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
32 the property sold; such other information as is required in
33 Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
34 information as the Department may reasonably require.
SB725 Engrossed -48- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 The transaction reporting return in the case of
2 watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of the

5 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
6 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,

15 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of
16 the property sold, and such other information as the
17 Department may reasonably require.
18 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
19 later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
20 is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time
21 sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction
22 reporting return and tax remittance or proof of exemption
23 from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the
24 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
25 officer with whom the tangible personal property must be
26 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
27 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
28 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
29 applications for title or registration.
30 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
31 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
32 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
33 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
34 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
SB725 Engrossed -49- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
2 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
3 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
4 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
5 personal property that is involved (if titling or
6 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
7 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
8 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
9 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
10 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
11 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
12 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
13 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
14 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
15 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
16 mandate of this paragraph.
17 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
18 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
19 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department
20 before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
21 user has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may
22 certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
23 (upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such
24 certification) transmit the information required by the
25 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
26 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
27 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
28 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
29 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
30 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
31 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
32 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
33 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
34 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
SB725 Engrossed -50- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
2 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
3 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal
4 property returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a
5 deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly
6 return, as the case may be, in case the seller had
7 theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
8 tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had
9 paid the tax imposed by this Act with respect to such
10 receipts.
11 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
12 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
13 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
14 accredited agent of such corporation.
15 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
16 return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
17 be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
18 of the limited liability company.
19 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
20 the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing
21 such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed
22 by this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990
23 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
24 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
25 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
26 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
27 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made
28 pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
29 amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In
30 the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
31 transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
32 Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
33 remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
34 return.

1 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
2 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
3 Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding
4 any liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in
5 accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000 or more
6 during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall
7 file a return with the Department each month by the 20th day
8 of the month next following the month during which such tax
9 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the
10 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of
11 the month during which such liability is incurred. If the
12 month during which such tax liability is incurred began prior
13 to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount equal
14 to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an
15 amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average
16 monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department for the
17 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month
18 of highest liability and the month of lowest liability in
19 such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
20 liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
21 prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
22 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
23 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
24 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
25 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
26 January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
27 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
28 liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
29 for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the
30 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
31 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
32 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in
33 an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability
34 for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
SB725 Engrossed -52- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
2 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
3 January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment
4 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
5 liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
6 for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of
7 the taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly
8 reporting period. The amount of such quarter monthly
9 payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
10 the taxpayer's return for that month. Once applicable, the
11 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
12 Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax
13 liability of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner
14 provided above shall continue until such taxpayer's average
15 monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
16 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
17 liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
18 $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
19 the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
20 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
21 $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that
22 a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
23 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
24 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
25 will fall below $10,000, then such taxpayer may petition the
26 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
27 The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
28 unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and
29 not likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly
30 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
31 this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
32 and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
33 as a payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
34 actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has
SB725 Engrossed -53- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 previously made payments for that month to the Department in
2 excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in
3 this Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
4 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
5 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
6 than a calendar monthly basis.
7 Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
8 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
9 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
10 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average
11 in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2
12 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the
13 Department as required by Section 2f and shall make payments
14 to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
15 day of the month during which such liability is incurred. If
16 the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
17 prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
18 each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
19 taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
20 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
21 after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount
22 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
23 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
24 calendar month of the preceding calendar year. If the month
25 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
26 after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
27 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
28 month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
29 calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of such
30 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
31 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
32 under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
33 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
34 payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
SB725 Engrossed -54- LRB9101596PTpkA
1 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
2 collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
3 is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly payment is
4 not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
5 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
6 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
7 made payments for that month in excess of the minimum
8 payments previously due.
9 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
10 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
11 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
12 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
13 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
14 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment.
15 The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be
16 assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this
17 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
18 Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
19 regulations to be prescribed by the Department. If no such
20 request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
21 against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the
22 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
23 Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance
24 with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by the
25 Department. If the Department subsequently determined that
26 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
27 the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
28 shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between
29 the credit taken and that actually due, and that taxpayer
30 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
31 difference.
32 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
33 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
34 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
SB725 Engrossed -55- LRB9101596PTpkA
