20Department shall have full power to administer and enforce this
21Section; to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to
22dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner
23hereinafter provided, and to determine all rights to credit
24memoranda, arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax
25or penalty hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance
26with, this Section, the Department and persons who are subject

3the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
4definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,

16    Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
17authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
18their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating

20combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
21are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
22bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.

24made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
25credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
26Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the

3Treasurer out of the non-home rule municipal retailers'
4occupation tax fund.
5    The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
6Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
7collected hereunder.

10100HB0938ham001- 5 -LRB101 03318 AWJ 57411 a

1erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not including
2an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the second
3preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of such

8transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1.5% of the
9remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax
10Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the time
11of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
12prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be

2is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
3interstate or foreign commerce.
4    Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
5municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
6any business which under the constitution of the United States
7may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.

9municipality under this Section, the Department shall increase
