12the vehicle for a defined period that is longer than one year
13and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division that: (A) is
14a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
15converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
16camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
17living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
18configuration designed for the transportation of not less than
197 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle

22means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the

26received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle

 

 

HB3294- 7 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
2including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
3charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
4Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
5from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
6at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
7motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
8on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
9the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
10tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to pay the tax imposed by
11this Act on those amounts. However, the lessor who purchased
12the motor vehicle assumes the liability for reporting and
13paying the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in
14the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local
15retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the
16retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the retailer
17had accounted for the tax to the Department. For amounts
18received by the lessor from the lessee that are not calculated
19at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must file the
20return and pay the tax to the Department by the due date
21otherwise required by this Act for returns other than
22transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled under this
23Act to a discount for collecting and remitting the tax imposed
24under this Act to the Department with respect to the sale of
25the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to the discount
26provided in this Act shall be transferred to the lessor with

 

 

HB3294- 8 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any amount received
2by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is
3not calculated at the time the lease is executed; provided
4that the discount is only allowed if the return is timely filed
5and for amounts timely paid. The "selling price" of a motor
6vehicle that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the
7purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one year
8shall not be reduced by the value of or credit given for
9traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessor, nor
10shall it be reduced by the value of or credit given for
11traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessee,
12regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is assigned
13by the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor vehicle
14that is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined period of
15longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of the
16delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any
17lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation
18Tax liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease
19may not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax
20the lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for
21any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
22the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
23calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
24price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
25calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
26in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this

 

 

HB3294- 9 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
2all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
3by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
4Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
5vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
6term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
7with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
8lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
9defined period.
10    The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
11construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
12vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
13agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
14agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
15which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
16retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
17occasional sale.
18    "Gross receipts" from the sales of tangible personal
19property at retail means the total selling price or the amount
20of such sales, as hereinbefore defined. In the case of charge
21and time sales, the amount thereof shall be included only as
22and when payments are received by the seller. Receipts or
23other consideration derived by a seller from the sale,
24transfer or assignment of accounts receivable to a wholly
25owned subsidiary will not be deemed payments prior to the time

8property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
9being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
10such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
11bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
12business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
13within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is

19course of conducting such business, transfers tangible

HB3294- 49 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
2required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
3monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
4be required to file returns on an annual basis.
5    The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor

14extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
15the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
16deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
17price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
18such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
19purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
20evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
21if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
22sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
23other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the

1or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
2name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
3price including the amount allowed by the retailer for

8deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
9price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to

13if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
14sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
15such other information as the Department may reasonably
16require.
17    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
18than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
19being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
20than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
21return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
22Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
23the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
24tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
25titling or registration is required) if the Department and
26such agency or State officer determine that this procedure

 

 

HB3294- 51 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1will expedite the processing of applications for title or
2registration.
3    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
4shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
5satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
6the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
7Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
8receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
9satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
10purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
11officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
12personal property that is involved (if titling or registration
13is required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
14Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
15registration to such tangible personal property.
16    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
17Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
18retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
19evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
20is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
21paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
22Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
23mandate of this paragraph.
24    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
25wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
26of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before

 

 

HB3294- 52 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has
2not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the
3fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
4being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
5the information required by the transaction reporting return
6and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
7the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
8determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
9and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
10credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
11with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
12provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
13the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
14same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
15if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
16    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
17period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
18returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
19subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
20may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
21receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
22return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
23with respect to such receipts.

2    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
3return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
4be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent

6    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
7the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
8return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
9Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
10on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
11whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
12retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
13preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
14data to the Department on request. On and after January 1,
152021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling
16the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return
17under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the
18time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
19imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer
20using a certified service provider to file a return on its
21behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for

2discount is computed. In the case of retailers who report and
3pay the tax on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided
4in this Section, such discount shall be taken with each such
5tax remittance instead of when such retailer files his
6periodic return. The discount allowed under this Section is
7allowed only for returns that are filed in the manner required
8by this Act. The Department may disallow the discount for
9retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at the
10time the return is filed, but only if the Department's
11decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become
12final.

3$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
4quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
5month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
6during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
7payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
8last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
9If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
10prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
11equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
12or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
13average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
14for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
15month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
16in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
17liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
18prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
19equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
20month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
21calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
22which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
23January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
24shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
25liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
26for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month

1during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
2January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
3after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
4to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
525% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
6the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
7liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
8prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
9equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
10month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
11month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
12liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
13of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
14final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
15Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
16the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
17taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
18or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
19continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
20the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
21quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
22month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
23taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
24computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
25calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
26taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in

 

 

HB3294- 57 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
2to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
3reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
4threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
5Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
6On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement
7of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
8taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000
9or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
10continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
11the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
12quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
13month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
14taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
15computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
16calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
17taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
18the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
19to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
20reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
21threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
22Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
23The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
24unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
25likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is
26not paid at the time or in the amount required by this Section,

 

 

HB3294- 58 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
2on the difference between the minimum amount due as a payment
3and the amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and
4timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
5made payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
6minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
7The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
8govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
9payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
10monthly basis.
11    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
122001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
13quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
14is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
15prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
16excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
17calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
18required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
19Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
20month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
21during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
22September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
23each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
24taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
25during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
26January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to

 

 

HB3294- 59 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

122.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
227.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
3of the preceding calendar year. If the month during which such
4tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987,
5each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
6taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the
7taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
8preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
9shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
10taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
11Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
12requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
13Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
14such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
15the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less.
16If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
17in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
18penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as
19the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
20excess of the minimum payments previously due.
21    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
22October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
23required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
24any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
25collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
26taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the

 

 

HB3294- 60 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
2with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
3payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
4last day of the month during which the liability is incurred.
5Each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
6taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
7taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
8preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
9shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
10taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
11Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
12requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
13Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
14taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
15preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
16highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
17than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
18liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
19quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
20than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
21at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
22liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
23insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
24month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
25    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
26taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the

 

 

HB3294- 61 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
2shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
3requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
4memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
5credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
6the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
7Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
8in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
9prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
10taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
11subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
12the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
13Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
14regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
15subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
16taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
172.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or
181.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
19actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
20and interest on such difference.
21    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
22Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
23to the Department under this Act for the month which the
24taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
25taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

12    Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
13collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
14paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
15overpayment of liability.
16    For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
17importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
18Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
19assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
20Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to

22written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
23    Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail

19Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
20the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
21payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
22impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
23significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
24exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
25that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
26who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the

 

 

HB3294- 81 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1business of selling tangible personal property at retail at
2the exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant
3risk of loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall
4notify concessionaires and other sellers affected by the
5imposition of this requirement. In the absence of notification
6by the Department, the concessionaires and other sellers shall
7file their returns as otherwise required in this Section.

13    Section 10. The Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois
14Retail Act is amended by changing Sections 5-5 and 5-25 as
15follows:
 
16    (35 ILCS 185/5-5)
17    Sec. 5-5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that
18certified service providers and certified automated systems
19simplify use and occupation tax compliance for remote
20retailers, which fosters higher levels of accurate tax
21collection and remittance and generates administrative savings
22and new marginal tax revenue for both State and local taxing
23jurisdictions. By making the services of certified service
24providers and certified automated systems available to remote

 

 

HB3294- 82 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1retailers without charge, other than their retailer customer's
2retail discount, as provided in this Act, the State will
3substantially eliminate the burden on those remote retailers
4to collect and remit both State and local taxing jurisdiction
5use and occupation taxes. While providing a means for remote
6retailers to collect and remit tax on an even basis with
7Illinois retailers, this Act also protects existing local tax
8revenue streams by retaining origin sourcing for all
9transactions by retailers maintaining a physical presence in
10Illinois.

12    (35 ILCS 185/5-25)
13    Sec. 5-25. Certification.
14    (a) The Department shall, no later than July 1, 2020:
15        (1) establish uniform minimum standards that companies
16    wishing to be designated as a certified service provider
17    in this State must meet;
18        (2) establish uniform minimum standards that certified
19    automated systems must meet;
20        (3) establish a certification process to review the
21    systems of companies wishing to be designated as a
22    certified service provider in this State or of companies
23    wishing to use a certified automated process; this
24    certification process shall provide that companies that
25    meet all required standards and whose systems have been

 

 

HB3294- 83 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1    tested and approved by the Department for properly
2    determining the taxability of items to be sold, the
3    correct tax rate to apply to a transaction, and the
4    appropriate jurisdictions to which the tax shall be
5    remitted, shall be certified;
6        (4) enter into a contractual relationship with each
7    company that qualifies as a certified service provider or
8    that will be using a certified automated system; those
9    contracts shall, at a minimum, provide:
10            (A) that the certified service provider shall be
11        held liable for the tax imposed under this Act and the
12        Use Tax Act and all applicable local occupation taxes
13        administered by the Department if the certified
14        service provider fails to correctly remit the tax
15        after having been provided with the tax and
16        information by a remote retailer to correctly remit
17        the taxes imposed under this Act and the Use Tax Act
18        and all applicable local occupation taxes administered
19        by the Department; if the certified service provider
20        demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Department
21        that its failure to correctly remit tax on a retail
22        sale resulted from the certified service provider's
23        good faith reliance on incorrect or insufficient
24        information provided by the remote retailer, the
25        certified service provider shall be relieved of
26        liability for the tax on that retail sale; in that

 

 

HB3294- 84 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1        case, the remote retailer is liable for any resulting
2        tax due;
3            (B) the responsibilities of the certified service
4        provider and the remote retailers that contract with
5        the certified service provider or the user of a
6        certified automated system related to record keeping
7        and auditing consistent with requirements imposed
8        under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Use
9        Tax Act;
10            (C) for the protection and confidentiality of tax
11        information consistent with requirements imposed under
12        the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Use Tax Act;
13            (D) that a certified service provider may claim
14        the discount provided for in Section 3 of the
15        Retailers' Occupation Tax Act for the tax dollars it
16        collects and timely remits on returns that are timely
17        filed with the Department on behalf of remote
18        retailers; remote retailers using a certified service
19        provider may not claim the discount allowed in Section
20        3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act with respect to
21        those collections compensation equal to 1.75% of the
22        tax dollars collected and remitted to the State by a
23        certified service provider on a timely basis, along
24        with a return that has been timely filed, on behalf of
25        remote retailers; remote retailers using a certified
26        service provider may not claim the vendor's discount

 

 

HB3294- 85 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1        allowed under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or the
2        Service Occupation Tax Act; and
3            (E) that the certified service provider shall file
4        a separate return for each remote retailer with which
5        it has a Tax Remittance Agreement.
6    The provisions of this Section shall supersede the
7provisions of the Illinois Procurement Code.
8    (b) The Department may act jointly with other states to
9establish the minimum standards and process for certification
10required by paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (a).
11    (c) When the systems of a certified service provider or
12certified automated systems are updated or upgraded, they must
13be recertified by the Department. Notification of changes
14shall be provided to the Department prior to implementation.
15Upon receipt of such notification, the Department shall review
16and test the changes to assess whether the updated system of
17the certified service provider or the updated certified
18automated system can properly determine the taxability of
19items to be sold, the correct tax rate to apply to a
20transaction, and the appropriate jurisdictions to which the
21tax shall be remitted. The Department shall recertify updated
22systems that meet these requirements. The certified service
23provider or retailer using a certified automated system shall
24be liable for any tax resulting from errors caused by use of an
25updated or upgraded system prior to recertification by the
26Department. In addition to these procedures, the Department

 

 

HB3294- 86 -LRB102 17025 HLH 22448 b

1may periodically review the system of a certified service
2provider or the certified automated system used by a retailer
