3 and through December 31, 2000, and beginning again on May 1,
4 2006 through May 31, 2006 the 1.25% rate on motor fuel and

15 where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is extracted
16 from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to coal or other

19 exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale in
20 interstate or foreign commerce.

22 paid into the Local Government Tax Fund should be made to a
23 claimant instead of issuing a credit memorandum, the Department

4 erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not including
5 an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the second
6 preceding calendar month by the Department, and not including
7 any amount which the Department determines is necessary to

11 certification to the municipalities and counties, provided for
12 in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by the
13 Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn
14 for the respective amounts in accordance with the directions
15 contained in such certification.
16     When certifying the amount of monthly disbursement to a
17 municipality or county under this Section, the Department shall

21 months preceding the time a misallocation is discovered.
22     The provisions directing the distributions from the
23 special fund in the State Treasury provided for in this Section
24 shall constitute an irrevocable and continuing appropriation

33 description or reference shall be deemed to include the
34 replacement revenue for such abolished taxes, distributed from
35 the Local Government Tax Fund.

33     Section 10. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Sections
34 3-10 and 9 as follows:
 

 

 

HB4211 - 7 - LRB094 15142 BDD 50320 b

1     (35 ILCS 105/3-10)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
2     Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this
3 Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
4 either the selling price or the fair market value, if any, of
5 the tangible personal property. In all cases where property
6 functionally used or consumed is the same as the property that
7 was purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the selling
8 price of the property. In all cases where property functionally
9 used or consumed is a by-product or waste product that has been
10 refined, manufactured, or produced from property purchased at
11 retail, then the tax is imposed on the lower of the fair market
12 value, if any, of the specific property so used in this State
13 or on the selling price of the property purchased at retail.
14 For purposes of this Section "fair market value" means the
15 price at which property would change hands between a willing
16 buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion
17 to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the
18 relevant facts. The fair market value shall be established by
19 Illinois sales by the taxpayer of the same property as that
20 functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such sales by
21 the taxpayer, then comparable sales or purchases of property of
22 like kind and character in Illinois.
23     Beginning on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000 and
24 beginning again on May 1, 2006 through May 31, 2006, with
25 respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of the Motor
26 Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40 of the
27 Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
28     With respect to gasohol, the tax imposed by this Act
29 applies to (i) 70% of the proceeds of sales made on or after
30 January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003, (ii) 80% of the
31 proceeds of sales made on or after July 1, 2003 and on or
32 before December 31, 2013, and (iii) 100% of the proceeds of
33 sales made thereafter. If, at any time, however, the tax under
34 this Act on sales of gasohol is imposed at the rate of 1.25%,
35 then the tax imposed by this Act applies to 100% of the
36 proceeds of sales of gasohol made during that time.

11 the tax under this Act on sales of biodiesel blends with no
12 less than 1% and no more than 10% biodiesel is imposed at the
13 rate of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by this Act applies to 100%
14 of the proceeds of sales of biodiesel blends with no less than
15 1% and no more than 10% biodiesel made during that time.
16     With respect to 100% biodiesel and biodiesel blends with

18 by this Act does not apply to the proceeds of sales made on or
19 after July 1, 2003 and on or before December 31, 2013 but
20 applies to 100% of the proceeds of sales made thereafter.
21     With respect to food for human consumption that is to be
22 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
23 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been

7 it is sold" includes all food sold through a vending machine,
8 except soft drinks and food products that are dispensed hot
9 from a vending machine, regardless of the location of the
10 vending machine.
11     If the property that is purchased at retail from a retailer
12 is acquired outside Illinois and used outside Illinois before
13 being brought to Illinois for use here and is taxable under
14 this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax is computed
15 shall be reduced by an amount that represents a reasonable
16 allowance for depreciation for the period of prior out-of-state
17 use.
18 (Source: P.A. 93-17, eff. 6-11-03.)
 
19     Section 15. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by changing

23 Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
24 the selling price of tangible personal property transferred as

4 the sale of service on or after July 1, 2003 and on or before
