6    Section 10. The Counties Code is amended by changing
7Sections 5-1006, 5-1006.5, 5-1006.8, and 5-1007 as follows:
 
8    (55 ILCS 5/5-1006)  (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1006)
9    Sec. 5-1006. Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax
10Law. Any county that is a home rule unit may impose a tax upon
11all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
12personal property, other than an item of tangible personal
13property titled or registered with an agency of this State's
14government, at retail in the county on the gross receipts from
15such sales made in the course of their business. If imposed,
16this tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after
17September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be imposed on
18tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
19Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under
20this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
21December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
22fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
23purposes. If the county does not have an airport-related
24purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then

 

 

SB0329- 7 -LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b

1aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The county must comply
2with the certification requirements for airport-related
3purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
4Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
5has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
6Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for
7so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b)
8and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The changes made
9to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 101st General
10Assembly are a denial and limitation of home rule powers and
11functions under subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of
12the Illinois Constitution. The tax imposed by a home rule
13county pursuant to this Section and all civil penalties that
14may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
15enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
16of registration that is issued by the Department to a retailer
17under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the
18retailer to engage in a business that is taxable under any
19ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section
20without registering separately with the Department under such
21ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
22shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
23to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
24of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
25provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
26arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty

1hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
2Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
3Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
4immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
5conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
6definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
7as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j,
81k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions
9therein other than the State rate of tax), 3 (except as to the
10disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
11the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on
12aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use requirements
13of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c,
145d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9,
1510, 11, 12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and
16Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully
17as if those provisions were set forth herein.
18    No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to
19this Section unless the county also imposes a tax at the same
20rate pursuant to Section 5-1007.
21    Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
22authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
23their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
24such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
25combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
26are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such

21for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
2247107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county.

11under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the
12retailer to engage in a business that is taxable without
13registering separately with the Department under an ordinance
14or resolution under this Section. The Department has full

16taxes and penalties due under this Section, to dispose of
17taxes and penalties so collected in the manner provided in
18this Section, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda

20under this Section. In the administration of and compliance
21with this Section, the Department and persons who are subject
22to this Section shall (i) have the same rights, remedies,
23privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to
24the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and

11set forth in this Section.
12    Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
13granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
14sellers' tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
15additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,

5upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
6making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
7sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
8the county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
9not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed at the 1%
10rate under the Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate
11imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
12Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019 and through December 31,
132020, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless
14the tax revenue is expended for airport-related purposes. If
15the county does not have an airport-related purpose to which
16it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is
17excluded from the tax. The county must comply with the
18certification requirements for airport-related purposes under

1of making sales of service at the same rate of tax imposed
2pursuant to Section 5-1006 of the selling price of all
3tangible personal property transferred by such servicemen
4either in the form of tangible personal property or in the form
5of real estate as an incident to a sale of service. If imposed,
6such tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after
7September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be imposed on
8tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
9Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under
10this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
11December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
12fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
13purposes. If the county does not have an airport-related
14purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
15aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The county must comply
16with the certification requirements for airport-related
17purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
18Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
19has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
20Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for
21so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b)
22and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The changes made
23to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 101st General
24Assembly are a denial and limitation of home rule powers and
25functions under subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of
26the Illinois Constitution. The tax imposed by a home rule

6Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit such registrant to
7engage in a business which is taxable under any ordinance or
8resolution enacted pursuant to this Section without
9registering separately with the Department under such
10ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
11shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
12to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
13of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
14provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
15arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
16hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
17Section the Department and persons who are subject to this
18Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
19immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
20conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and

11Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
12Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
13set forth herein.
14    No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to
15this Section unless such county also imposes a tax at the same
16rate pursuant to Section 5-1006.
17    Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
18authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
19their serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately

19time of each monthly disbursement to the counties, shall
20prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be

4    Sec. 30. Taxes.
5    (a) The board shall impose a tax upon all persons engaged
6in the business of selling tangible personal property, other
7than personal property titled or registered with an agency of
8this State's government, at retail in the District on the
9gross receipts from the sales made in the course of business.
10This tax shall be imposed only at the rate of one-tenth of one
11per cent.
12    This additional tax may not be imposed on tangible
13personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers'
14Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under this
15amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
16December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020, this tax is not
17imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
18expended for airport-related purposes. If the District does
19not have an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates
20aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel shall be
21excluded from tax. The board must comply with the
22certification requirements for airport-related purposes under
23Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For
24purposes of this Act, "airport-related purposes" has the

 

 

SB0329- 95 -LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b

1meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act.
2Beginning January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on sales of
3aviation fuel for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
4U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the

8Revenue. The certificate of registration that is issued by the
9Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
10Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a business that is
11taxable without registering separately with the Department
12under an ordinance or resolution under this Section. The
13Department has full power to administer and enforce this
14Section, to collect all taxes and penalties due under this
15Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in the
16manner provided in this Section, and to determine all rights
17to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
18payment of a tax or penalty under this Section. In the
19administration of and compliance with this Section, the
20Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
21(i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
22powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions,
23restrictions, limitations, penalties, and definitions of
24terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of procedure as are

10if those provisions were set forth in this Section.
11    Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
12granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
13sellers' tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
14additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
15in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
16to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed
17schedules as the Department may prescribe.
18    Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
19made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
20credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
21Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
22amount specified and to the person named in the notification
23from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State

2service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
3upon all persons engaged, in the District, in the business of
4making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
5sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
6the District as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
7not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed at the 1%
8rate under the Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate
9imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
10Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019 and through December 31,

12unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
13purposes. If the District does not have an airport-related
14purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
15aviation fuel shall be excluded from tax. The board must
16comply with the certification requirements for airport-related
17purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
18Act. For purposes of this Act, "airport-related purposes" has
19the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance

5    (70 ILCS 3615/4.03)  (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 704.03)
6    Sec. 4.03. Taxes.
7    (a) In order to carry out any of the powers or purposes of
8the Authority, the Board may by ordinance adopted with the
9concurrence of 12 of the then Directors, impose throughout the
10metropolitan region any or all of the taxes provided in this
11Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Act, taxes
12imposed under this Section and civil penalties imposed
13incident thereto shall be collected and enforced by the State
14Department of Revenue. The Department shall have the power to
15administer and enforce the taxes and to determine all rights
16for refunds for erroneous payments of the taxes. Nothing in
17Public Act 95-708 is intended to invalidate any taxes
18currently imposed by the Authority. The increased vote
19requirements to impose a tax shall only apply to actions taken
20after January 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act

1vehicles upon public highways. The tax shall be at a rate not
2to exceed 5% of the gross receipts from the sales of motor fuel
3in the course of the business. As used in this Act, the term
4"motor fuel" shall have the same meaning as in the Motor Fuel
5Tax Law. The Board may provide for details of the tax. The
6provisions of any tax shall conform, as closely as may be
7practicable, to the provisions of the Municipal Retailers
8Occupation Tax Act, including without limitation, conformity
9to penalties with respect to the tax imposed and as to the
10powers of the State Department of Revenue to promulgate and
11enforce rules and regulations relating to the administration
12and enforcement of the provisions of the tax imposed, except
13that reference in the Act to any municipality shall refer to
14the Authority and the tax shall be imposed only with regard to
15receipts from sales of motor fuel in the metropolitan region,
16at rates as limited by this Section.

4provide criminal penalties thereunder, the maximum penalties
5not to exceed the maximum criminal penalties provided in the

7enforce the tax itself or by contract with any unit of local
8government. The State Department of Revenue shall have no
9responsibility for the collection and enforcement unless the

14vehicles are permitted to park in return for an hourly, daily,
15or other periodic fee, whether publicly or privately owned,
16but does not include parking spaces on a public street, the use
17of which is regulated by parking meters.
18    (e) The Board may impose a Regional Transportation
19Authority Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged

26the gross receipts from other taxable sales made in the course

 

 

SB0329- 126 -LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b

1of that business. In DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
2counties, the tax rate shall be 0.75% of the gross receipts
3from all taxable sales made in the course of that business. The
4rate of tax imposed in DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
5counties under this Section on sales of aviation fuel on or
6after December 1, 2019 shall, however, be 0.25% unless the

8McHenry, and Will counties has an "airport-related purpose"
9and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax on aviation fuel is
10expended for airport-related purposes. If there is no
11airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel tax revenue is
12dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from the additional
130.50% of the 0.75% tax. The tax imposed under this Section and
14all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident
15thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State
16Department of Revenue. The Department shall have full power to

21administration of, and compliance with this Section, the
22Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
23have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,

16"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
176z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
18fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
19of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
20Authority.
21    Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
22granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their

3made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
4credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
5Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
6amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
7from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
8Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax

10Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
11    If a tax is imposed under this subsection (e), a tax shall
12also be imposed under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section.
13    For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
14under this Section is applicable, a retail sale by a producer
15of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail
16at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
17is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
18coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
19seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
20sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
21interstate or foreign commerce.
22    No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection
23on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of
24another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this
