3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
5 Section 2 as follows:
6 (35 ILCS 105/2) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.2)
7 Sec. 2. "Use" means the exercise by any person of any
8 right or power over tangible personal property incident to
9 the ownership of that property, except that it does not
10 include the sale of such property in any form as tangible
11 personal property in the regular course of business to the
12 extent that such property is not first subjected to a use for
13 which it was purchased, and does not include the use of such
14 property by its owner for demonstration purposes: Provided
15 that the property purchased is deemed to be purchased for the
16 purpose of resale, despite first being used, to the extent to
17 which it is resold as an ingredient of an intentionally
18 produced product or by-product of manufacturing. "Use" does
19 not mean the demonstration use or interim use of tangible
20 personal property by a retailer before he sells that tangible
21 personal property. For watercraft or aircraft, if the period
22 of demonstration use or interim use by the retailer exceeds
23 18 months, the retailer shall pay on the retailers' original
24 cost price the tax imposed by this Act, and no credit for
25 that tax is permitted if the watercraft or aircraft is
26 subsequently sold by the retailer. "Use" does not mean the
27 physical incorporation of tangible personal property, to the
28 extent not first subjected to a use for which it was
29 purchased, as an ingredient or constituent, into other
30 tangible personal property (a) which is sold in the regular
31 course of business or (b) which the person incorporating such
SB802 Engrossed -2- LRB9103293PTpk
1 ingredient or constituent therein has undertaken at the time
2 of such purchase to cause to be transported in interstate
3 commerce to destinations outside the State of Illinois:
4 Provided that the property purchased is deemed to be
5 purchased for the purpose of resale, despite first being
6 used, to the extent to which it is resold as an ingredient of
7 an intentionally produced product or by-product of
8 manufacturing.
9 "Watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
10 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
11 and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
12 with an inboard motor.
13 "Purchase at retail" means the acquisition of the
14 ownership of or title to tangible personal property through a
15 sale at retail.
16 "Purchaser" means anyone who, through a sale at retail,
17 acquires the ownership of tangible personal property for a
18 valuable consideration.
19 "Sale at retail" means any transfer of the ownership of
20 or title to tangible personal property to a purchaser, for
21 the purpose of use, and not for the purpose of resale in any
22 form as tangible personal property to the extent not first
23 subjected to a use for which it was purchased, for a valuable
24 consideration: Provided that the property purchased is deemed
25 to be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite first
26 being used, to the extent to which it is resold as an
27 ingredient of an intentionally produced product or by-product
28 of manufacturing. For this purpose, slag produced as an
29 incident to manufacturing pig iron or steel and sold is
30 considered to be an intentionally produced by-product of
31 manufacturing. "Sale at retail" includes any such transfer
32 made for resale unless made in compliance with Section 2c of
33 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, as incorporated by
34 reference into Section 12 of this Act. Transactions whereby
SB802 Engrossed -3- LRB9103293PTpk
1 the possession of the property is transferred but the seller
2 retains the title as security for payment of the selling
3 price are sales.
4 "Sale at retail" shall also be construed to include any
5 Illinois florist's sales transaction in which the purchase
6 order is received in Illinois by a florist and the sale is
7 for use or consumption, but the Illinois florist has a
8 florist in another state deliver the property to the
9 purchaser or the purchaser's donee in such other state.
10 Nonreusable tangible personal property that is used by
11 persons engaged in the business of operating a restaurant,
12 cafeteria, or drive-in is a sale for resale when it is
13 transferred to customers in the ordinary course of business
14 as part of the sale of food or beverages and is used to
15 deliver, package, or consume food or beverages, regardless of
16 where consumption of the food or beverages occurs. Examples
17 of those items include, but are not limited to nonreusable,
18 paper and plastic cups, plates, baskets, boxes, sleeves,
19 buckets or other containers, utensils, straws, placemats,
20 napkins, doggie bags, and wrapping or packaging materials
21 that are transferred to customers as part of the sale of food
22 or beverages in the ordinary course of business.
23 The purchase, employment and transfer of such tangible
24 personal property as newsprint and ink for the primary
25 purpose of conveying news (with or without other information)
26 is not a purchase, use or sale of tangible personal property.
27 "Sale at retail" does not include a sale or transfer of
28 tangible personal property to a multistate taxpayer who is
29 engaged in centralized purchasing activities in Illinois if
30 the purchaser, upon receipt of the tangible personal property
31 in Illinois, will temporarily store the property in Illinois
32 prior to transferring the property to an out-of-state

6 in bulk for the common use or consumption of its multiple
7 business locations both within and outside Illinois.
8 Tangible personal property acquired by a registered
9 multistate taxpayer engaged in centralized purchasing
10 activities in this State is "temporarily stored" in this
11 State if it is received in this State from an Illinois
12 registered retailer and subsequently transferred for use to
13 another state without alteration or, if altered by
14 converting, fabricating, manufacturing, printing, processing,
15 or shaping, is used solely outside this State by the
16 registered multistate taxpayer.
17 "Selling price" means the consideration for a sale valued
18 in money whether received in money or otherwise, including
19 cash, credits, property other than as hereinafter provided,
20 and services, but not including the value of or credit given
21 for traded-in tangible personal property where the item that
22 is traded-in is of like kind and character as that which is
23 being sold, and shall be determined without any deduction on
24 account of the cost of the property sold, the cost of
25 materials used, labor or service cost or any other expense
26 whatsoever, but does not include interest or finance charges
27 which appear as separate items on the bill of sale or sales
28 contract nor charges that are added to prices by sellers on
29 account of the seller's tax liability under the "Retailers'
30 Occupation Tax Act", or on account of the seller's duty to
31 collect, from the purchaser, the tax that is imposed by this
32 Act, or on account of the seller's tax liability under
33 Section 8-11-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code, as heretofore

6 the tax imposed under the Cigarette Use Tax Act, and on
7 account of the seller's duty to collect, from the purchaser,
8 any cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit.
9 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
10 construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
11 vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
12 agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
13 agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
14 which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt
15 from retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
16 occasional sale.
17 "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
18 "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
19 association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
20 private corporation, limited liability company, or a
21 receiver, executor, trustee, guardian or other representative
22 appointed by order of any court.
23 "Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the
24 business of making sales at retail as defined in this
25 Section.
26 A person who holds himself or herself out as being
27 engaged (or who habitually engages) in selling tangible
28 personal property at retail is a retailer hereunder with
29 respect to such sales (and not primarily in a service
30 occupation) notwithstanding the fact that such person designs
31 and produces such tangible personal property on special order
32 for the purchaser and in such a way as to render the property
33 of value only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal
34 property so produced on special order serves substantially
SB802 Engrossed -6- LRB9103293PTpk
1 the same function as stock or standard items of tangible
2 personal property that are sold at retail.
3 A person whose activities are organized and conducted
4 primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
5 engages in selling tangible personal property at retail
6 (whether to the public or merely to members and their guests)
7 is a retailer with respect to such transactions, excepting
8 only a person organized and operated exclusively for
9 charitable, religious or educational purposes either (1), to
10 the extent of sales by such person to its members, students,
11 patients or inmates of tangible personal property to be used
12 primarily for the purposes of such person, or (2), to the
13 extent of sales by such person of tangible personal property
14 which is not sold or offered for sale by persons organized
15 for profit. The selling of school books and school supplies
16 by schools at retail to students is not "primarily for the
17 purposes of" the school which does such selling. This
18 paragraph does not apply to nor subject to taxation

20 organized and operated exclusively for charitable, religious
21 or educational purposes, whether or not such activities are
22 open to the public.

24 under Title VII of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (P.L.
25 92-258) and serves meals to participants in the federal
26 Nutrition Program for the Elderly in return for contributions
27 established in amount by the individual participant pursuant
28 to a schedule of suggested fees as provided for in the
29 federal Act is not a retailer under this Act with respect to
30 such transactions.
31 Persons who engage in the business of transferring
32 tangible personal property upon the redemption of trading
33 stamps are retailers hereunder when engaged in such business.
34 The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
SB802 Engrossed -7- LRB9103293PTpk
1 property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out
2 as being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in
3 selling such tangible personal property at retail or a sale
4 through a bulk vending machine does not make such person a
5 retailer hereunder. However, any person who is engaged in a
6 business which is not subject to the tax imposed by the
7 "Retailers' Occupation Tax Act" because of involving the sale
8 of or a contract to sell real estate or a construction
9 contract to improve real estate, but who, in the course of
10 conducting such business, transfers tangible personal
11 property to users or consumers in the finished form in which
12 it was purchased, and which does not become real estate,
13 under any provision of a construction contract or real estate
14 sale or real estate sales agreement entered into with some
15 other person arising out of or because of such nontaxable
16 business, is a retailer to the extent of the value of the
17 tangible personal property so transferred. If, in such
18 transaction, a separate charge is made for the tangible
19 personal property so transferred, the value of such property,
20 for the purposes of this Act, is the amount so separately
21 charged, but not less than the cost of such property to the
22 transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of such
23 property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost to the
24 transferor of such tangible personal property.
25 "Retailer maintaining a place of business in this State",
26 or any like term, means and includes any of the following
27 retailers:

1 located here permanently or temporarily, or whether such
2 retailer or subsidiary is licensed to do business in this
3 State. However, the ownership of property that is located

1 of manufacturing. For this purpose, slag produced as an
2 incident to manufacturing pig iron or steel and sold is
3 considered to be an intentionally produced byproduct of
4 manufacturing. Transactions whereby the possession of the
5 property is transferred but the seller retains the title as
6 security for payment of the selling price shall be deemed to
7 be sales.
8 "Sale at retail" shall be construed to include any
9 transfer of the ownership of or title to tangible personal
10 property to a purchaser, for use or consumption by any other
11 person to whom such purchaser may transfer the tangible
12 personal property without a valuable consideration, and to

5 account of the seller's duty to collect, from the purchaser,
6 any cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit.
7 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally

31 The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal

34 selling such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale
SB802 Engrossed -15- LRB9103293PTpk
1 through a bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging
2 in a business of selling such tangible personal property at
3 retail within the meaning of this Act; provided that any
4 person who is engaged in a business which is not subject to
5 the tax imposed by this Act because of involving the sale of
6 or a contract to sell real estate or a construction contract
7 to improve real estate or a construction contract to
8 engineer, install, and maintain an integrated system of
9 products, but who, in the course of conducting such business,
10 transfers tangible personal property to users or consumers in
11 the finished form in which it was purchased, and which does
12 not become real estate or was not engineered and installed,
13 under any provision of a construction contract or real estate

15 other person arising out of or because of such nontaxable
16 business, is engaged in the business of selling tangible
17 personal property at retail to the extent of the value of the
18 tangible personal property so transferred. If, in such a
19 transaction, a separate charge is made for the tangible
20 personal property so transferred, the value of such property,
21 for the purpose of this Act, shall be the amount so
22 separately charged, but not less than the cost of such
23 property to the transferor; if no separate charge is made,

28 maintenance of voice, data, video, security, and all
29 telecommunication systems do not constitute engaging in a
30 business of selling tangible personal property at retail
31 within the meaning of this Act if they are sold at one
32 specified contract price.
33 A person who holds himself or herself out as being
34 engaged (or who habitually engages) in selling tangible
SB802 Engrossed -16- LRB9103293PTpk
1 personal property at retail is a person engaged in the
2 business of selling tangible personal property at retail
3 hereunder with respect to such sales (and not primarily in a
4 service occupation) notwithstanding the fact that such person
