SB1841- 6 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

1is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing
2the vehicle for a defined period that is longer than one year
3and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division that: (A) is
4a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
5converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
6camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
7living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
8configuration designed for the transportation of not less than
97 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle
10weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor vehicle
11of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of sale"
12means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
13lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
14monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
15lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
16received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
17that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
18including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
19charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
20Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
21from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
22at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
23motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
24on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
25the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
26tax imposed by this Act or to pay the tax imposed by the

 

 

SB1841- 7 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

1Retailers' Occupation Tax Act on those amounts. However, the
2lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the liability
3for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts directly to
4the Department in the same form (Illinois Retailers'
5Occupation Tax, and local retailers' occupation taxes, if
6applicable) in which the retailer would have reported and paid
7such tax if the retailer had accounted for the tax to the
8Department. For amounts received by the lessor from the lessee
9that are not calculated at the time the lease is executed, the
10lessor must file the return and pay the tax to the Department
11by the due date otherwise required by this Act for returns
12other than transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled
13under this Act to a discount for collecting and remitting the
14tax imposed under this Act to the Department with respect to
15the sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to
16the discount provided in this Act shall be transferred to the
17lessor with respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any
18amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased
19vehicle that is not calculated at the time the lease is
20executed; provided that the discount is only allowed if the
21return is timely filed and for amounts timely paid. The
22"selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or after
23January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined period
24of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the value of or
25credit given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by
26the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the value of or credit

 

 

SB1841- 8 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

1given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by the
2lessee, regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is
3assigned by the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor
4vehicle that is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined
5period of longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of
6the delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any
7lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation
8Tax liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease
9may not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax
10the lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for
11any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
12the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
13calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
14price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
15calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
16in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
17Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
18all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
19by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
20Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
21vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
22term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
23with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
24lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
25defined period.
26    The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally

1construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
2vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
3agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
4agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
5which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
6retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
7occasional sale.
8    "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
9    "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
10association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
11private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
12executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed
13by order of any court.
14    "Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the
15business of making sales at retail as defined in this Section.
16    A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
17(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
18property at retail is a retailer hereunder with respect to
19such sales (and not primarily in a service occupation)
20notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
21such tangible personal property on special order for the
22purchaser and in such a way as to render the property of value
23only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal property so
24produced on special order serves substantially the same
25function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
26property that are sold at retail.

 

 

SB1841- 10 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

1    A person whose activities are organized and conducted
2primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
3engages in selling tangible personal property at retail
4(whether to the public or merely to members and their guests)
5is a retailer with respect to such transactions, excepting
6only a person organized and operated exclusively for
7charitable, religious or educational purposes either (1), to
8the extent of sales by such person to its members, students,
9patients or inmates of tangible personal property to be used
10primarily for the purposes of such person, or (2), to the
11extent of sales by such person of tangible personal property
12which is not sold or offered for sale by persons organized for
13profit. The selling of school books and school supplies by
14schools at retail to students is not "primarily for the
15purposes of" the school which does such selling. This
16paragraph does not apply to nor subject to taxation occasional
17dinners, social or similar activities of a person organized
18and operated exclusively for charitable, religious or
19educational purposes, whether or not such activities are open
20to the public.
21    A person who is the recipient of a grant or contract under
22Title VII of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (P.L. 92-258) and
23serves meals to participants in the federal Nutrition Program
24for the Elderly in return for contributions established in
25amount by the individual participant pursuant to a schedule of
26suggested fees as provided for in the federal Act is not a

 

 

SB1841- 11 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

1retailer under this Act with respect to such transactions.
2    Persons who engage in the business of transferring
3tangible personal property upon the redemption of trading
4stamps are retailers hereunder when engaged in such business.
5    The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
6property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
7being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
8such tangible personal property at retail or a sale through a
9bulk vending machine does not make such person a retailer
10hereunder. However, any person who is engaged in a business
11which is not subject to the tax imposed by the Retailers'
12Occupation Tax Act because of involving the sale of or a
13contract to sell real estate or a construction contract to
14improve real estate, but who, in the course of conducting such
15business, transfers tangible personal property to users or
16consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and
17which does not become real estate, under any provision of a
18construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
19agreement entered into with some other person arising out of
20or because of such nontaxable business, is a retailer to the
21extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
22transferred. If, in such transaction, a separate charge is
23made for the tangible personal property so transferred, the
24value of such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the
25amount so separately charged, but not less than the cost of
26such property to the transferor; if no separate charge is

 

 

SB1841- 12 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

1made, the value of such property, for the purposes of this Act,
2is the cost to the transferor of such tangible personal
3property.

5or any like term, means and includes any of the following
6retailers:
7        (1) A retailer having or maintaining within this
8    State, directly or by a subsidiary, an office,

12    retailer or its subsidiary, irrespective of whether such
13    place of business or agent or other representative is
14    located here permanently or temporarily, or whether such
15    retailer or subsidiary is licensed to do business in this
16    State. However, the ownership of property that is located
17    at the premises of a printer with which the retailer has
18    contracted for printing and that consists of the final

3    indirectly refers potential customers to the retailer by
4    providing to the potential customers a promotional code or

8    such persons include but are not limited to the use of a
9    link on the person's Internet website, promotional codes
10    distributed through the person's hand-delivered or mailed
11    material, and promotional codes distributed by the person
12    through radio or other broadcast media. The provisions of
13    this paragraph (1.1) shall apply only if the cumulative

15    the retailer to customers who are referred to the retailer
16    by all persons in this State under such contracts exceed
17    $10,000 during the preceding 4 quarterly periods ending on
18    the last day of March, June, September, and December. A
19    retailer meeting the requirements of this paragraph (1.1)
20    shall be presumed to be maintaining a place of business in
21    this State but may rebut this presumption by submitting
22    proof that the referrals or other activities pursued
23    within this State by such persons were not sufficient to
24    meet the nexus standards of the United States Constitution
25    during the preceding 4 quarterly periods.

19    preceding 12-month period. If the retailer met the
20    criteria in either subparagraph (A) or (B) for the

22    retailer maintaining a place of business in this State and
23    is required to collect and remit the tax imposed under

SB1841- 30 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

1of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of sale"
2means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
3lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
4monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
5lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
6received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
7that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
8including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
9charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
10Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
11from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
12at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
13motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
14on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
15the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
16tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to pay the tax imposed by
17this Act on those amounts. However, the lessor who purchased
18the motor vehicle assumes the liability for reporting and
19paying the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in
20the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local
21retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the
22retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the retailer
23had accounted for the tax to the Department. For amounts
24received by the lessor from the lessee that are not calculated
25at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must file the
26return and pay the tax to the Department by the due date

 

 

SB1841- 31 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

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

 

 

SB1841- 32 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

1any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
2the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
3calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
4price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
5calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
6in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
7Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
8all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
9by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
10Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
11vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
12term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
13with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
14lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
15defined period.
16    The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
17construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
18vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
19agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
20agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
21which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
22retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
23occasional sale.
24    "Gross receipts" from the sales of tangible personal
25property at retail means the total selling price or the amount
26of such sales, as hereinbefore defined. In the case of charge

 

 

SB1841- 33 -LRB103 25906 HLH 52257 b

1and time sales, the amount thereof shall be included only as
2and when payments are received by the seller. Receipts or
3other consideration derived by a seller from the sale,
4transfer or assignment of accounts receivable to a wholly
5owned subsidiary will not be deemed payments prior to the time
6the purchaser makes payment on such accounts.
7    "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
8    "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
9association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
10private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
11executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed
12by order of any court.
13    The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
14property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
15being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
16such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
17bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
18business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
19within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is
20engaged in a business which is not subject to the tax imposed
21by this Act because of involving the sale of or a contract to
22sell real estate or a construction contract to improve real
23estate or a construction contract to engineer, install, and
24maintain an integrated system of products, but who, in the
25course of conducting such business, transfers tangible
26personal property to users or consumers in the finished form

2estate or was not engineered and installed, under any
3provision of a construction contract or real estate sale or
4real estate sales agreement entered into with some other
5person arising out of or because of such nontaxable business,
6is engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
7property at retail to the extent of the value of the tangible
8personal property so transferred. If, in such a transaction, a
9separate charge is made for the tangible personal property so
10transferred, the value of such property, for the purpose of
11this Act, shall be the amount so separately charged, but not
12less than the cost of such property to the transferor; if no
13separate charge is made, the value of such property, for the
14purposes of this Act, is the cost to the transferor of such
15tangible personal property. Construction contracts for the
16improvement of real estate consisting of engineering,
17installation, and maintenance of voice, data, video, security,
