1 by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer prior to October
2 1, 2003 may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's
3 liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service
4 Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
5 of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
6 only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
7 Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. A
8 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reported on any original or
9 amended return filed under this Act after October 20, 2003
10 shall be disallowed. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned
11 by purchase of exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment or
12 graphic arts machinery and equipment is a non-transferable
13 credit. A manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters
14 into a contract involving the installation of tangible personal
15 property into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic
16 arts production facility may, prior to October 1, 2003,
17 authorize a construction contractor to utilize credit
18 accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer to
19 purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or
20 graphic arts producer intending to use accumulated credit to
21 purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a
22 written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a
23 specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall
24 furnish, prior to October 1, 2003, the supplier with the
25 manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's name, registration
26 or resale number, and a statement that a specific amount of the

 

 

HB0023 - 19 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability, not to exceed 6.25% of
2 the selling price, is being satisfied with the credit. The
3 manufacturer or graphic arts producer shall remain liable to
4 timely report all information required by the annual Report of
5 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for all credit utilized by
6 a construction contractor.
7     No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1,
8 2003 may be used after October 1, 2003. The Manufacturer's
9 Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy liability under the Use
10 Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due on the purchase of
11 production related tangible personal property (including
12 purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or by
13 a lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
14 manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
15 qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
16 exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
17 exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
18 means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
19 the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
20 manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
21 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible
22 personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
23 within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
24 to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
25 such as preproduction material handling, receiving, quality
26 control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging

 

 

HB0023 - 20 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
2 personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a
3 graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as
4 described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
5 takes place, including tangible personal property purchased
6 for incorporation into real estate within a graphic arts
7 facility and including, but not limited to, all tangible
8 personal property used or consumed in activities such as
9 graphic arts preliminary or pre-press production,
10 pre-production material handling, receiving, quality control,
11 inventory control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling,
12 mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible
13 personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for
14 research and development. "Production related tangible
15 personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
16 property used, within or without a manufacturing facility, in
17 sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal management, marketing,
18 personnel recruitment or selection, or landscaping or (ii)
19 tangible personal property required to be titled or registered
20 with a department, agency, or unit of federal, state, or local
21 government. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used,
22 prior to October 1, 2003, to satisfy the tax arising either
23 from the purchase of machinery and equipment on or after
24 January 1, 1995 for which the exemption provided by paragraph
25 (18) of Section 3-5 of this Act was erroneously claimed, or the
26 purchase of machinery and equipment on or after July 1, 1996

 

 

HB0023 - 21 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 for which the exemption provided by paragraph (6) of Section
2 3-5 of this Act was erroneously claimed, but not in
3 satisfaction of penalty, if any, and interest for failure to
4 pay the tax when due. A purchaser of production related
5 tangible personal property who is required to pay Illinois Use
6 Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase directly to the
7 Department may, prior to October 1, 2003, utilize the
8 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in satisfaction of the tax
9 arising from that purchase, but not in satisfaction of penalty
10 and interest. A purchaser who uses the Manufacturer's Purchase
11 Credit to purchase property which is later determined not to be
12 production related tangible personal property may be liable for
13 tax, penalty, and interest on the purchase of that property as
14 of the date of purchase but shall be entitled to use the
15 disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, so long as it has
16 not expired and is used prior to October 1, 2003, on qualifying
17 purchases of production related tangible personal property not
18 previously subject to credit usage. The Manufacturer's
19 Purchase Credit earned by a manufacturer or graphic arts
20 producer expires the last day of the second calendar year
21 following the calendar year in which the credit arose. No
22 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used after September 30,
23 2003 regardless of when that credit was earned.
24     A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
25 sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
26 Credit Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day

 

 

HB0023 - 22 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
2 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of
3 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms
4 as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
5 for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
6 price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
7 machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
8 Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
9 items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
10 credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
11 other information as the Department may reasonably require. A
12 purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
13 maintain records which identify, as to each purchase of
14 manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment on which
15 the purchaser earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the
16 vendor (including, if applicable, either the vendor's
17 registration number or Federal Employer Identification
18 Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's
19 Purchase Credit earned on each purchase.
20     A purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
21 sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
22 Credit Used for each calendar year no later than the last day
23 of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
24 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is used. A Report of
25 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used shall be filed on forms as
26 prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state, for

 

 

HB0023 - 23 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase price
2 of production related tangible personal property purchased
3 from Illinois suppliers; (ii) the total purchase price of
4 production related tangible personal property purchased from
5 out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the total amount of credit used
6 during such month; and (iv) such other information as the
7 Department may reasonably require. A purchaser using
8 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain records that
9 identify, as to each purchase of production related tangible
10 personal property on which the purchaser used Manufacturer's
11 Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable, either
12 the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer
13 Identification Number), the purchase price, and the amount of
14 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
15     No annual report shall be filed before May 1, 1996 or after
16 June 30, 2004. A purchaser that fails to file an annual Report
17 of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
18 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
19 sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
20 forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
21 year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
22 reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
23 be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
24 not previously reported at any time before the credit would
25 have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have
26 agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the

 

 

HB0023 - 24 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
2 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
3 assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
4 for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
5 to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
6 portion thereof has been extended. No Manufacturer's Purchase
7 Credit report filed with the Department for periods prior to
8 January 1, 1995 shall be approved. Manufacturer's Purchase
9 Credit claimed on an amended report may be used, until October
10 1, 2003, to satisfy tax liability under the Use Tax Act or the
11 Service Use Tax Act (i) on qualifying purchases of production
12 related tangible personal property made after the date the
13 amended report is filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on
14 qualifying purchases of production related tangible personal
15 property made in the case of manufacturers on or after January
16 1, 1995, or in the case of graphic arts producers on or after
17 July 1, 1996.
18     If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts
19 producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
20 manufacturer or graphic arts producer, the purchaser may earn,
21 report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the same
22 manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer.
23     A purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's
24 Purchase Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported
25 and is not timely reported as provided in this Section. A
26 purchaser remains liable for (i) any tax that was satisfied by

 

 

HB0023 - 25 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 use of a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of the date of
2 purchase, if that use is not timely reported as required in
3 this Section and (ii) for any applicable penalties and interest
4 for failing to pay the tax when due. No Manufacturer's Purchase
5 Credit may be used after September 30, 2003 to satisfy any tax
6 liability imposed under this Act, including any audit
7 liability.
8     (b) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and after
9 September 1, 2004. This subsection (b) applies to
10 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and after September 1,
11 2004. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on or after
12 September 1, 2004 may only be used to satisfy the Use Tax or
13 Service Use Tax liability incurred on production related
14 tangible personal property purchased on or after September 1,
15 2004. A purchaser of production related tangible personal
16 property desiring to use the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
17 shall certify to the seller that the purchaser is satisfying
18 all or part of the liability under the Use Tax Act or the
19 Service Use Tax Act that is due on the purchase of the
20 production related tangible personal property by use of
21 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. The Manufacturer's Purchase
22 Credit certification must be dated and shall include the name
23 and address of the purchaser, the purchaser's registration
24 number, if registered, the credit being applied, and a
25 statement that the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability
26 is being satisfied with the manufacturer's or graphic arts

 

 

HB0023 - 26 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 producer's accumulated purchase credit. Certification may be
2 incorporated into the manufacturer's or graphic arts
3 producer's purchase order. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
4 certification provided by the manufacturer or graphic arts
5 producer may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's
6 liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service
7 Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
8 of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
9 only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
10 Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. The
11 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by purchase of exempt
12 manufacturing machinery and equipment or graphic arts
13 machinery and equipment is a non-transferable credit. A
14 manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters into a
15 contract involving the installation of tangible personal
16 property into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic
17 arts production facility may, on or after September 1, 2004,
18 authorize a construction contractor to utilize credit
19 accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer to
20 purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or
21 graphic arts producer intending to use accumulated credit to
22 purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a
23 written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a
24 specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall furnish
25 the supplier with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's
26 name, registration or resale number, and a statement that a

1 specific amount of the Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability,
2 not to exceed 6.25% of the selling price, is being satisfied
3 with the credit. The manufacturer or graphic arts producer
4 shall remain liable to timely report all information required
5 by the annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for
6 all credit utilized by a construction contractor.
7     The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy
8 liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due
9 on the purchase, made on or after September 1, 2004, of
10 production related tangible personal property (including
11 purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or by
12 a lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
13 manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
14 qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
15 exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
16 exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
17 means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
18 the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
19 manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
20 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible
21 personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
22 within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
23 to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities

14 personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
15 property used, within or without a manufacturing facility, in
16 sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal management, marketing,
17 personnel recruitment or selection, or landscaping or (ii)
18 tangible personal property required to be titled or registered
19 with a department, agency, or unit of federal, state, or local
20 government. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to
21 satisfy the tax arising either from the purchase of machinery
22 and equipment on or after September 1, 2004 for which the
23 exemption provided by paragraph (18) of Section 3-5 of this Act
24 was erroneously claimed, or the purchase of machinery and
25 equipment on or after September 1, 2004 for which the exemption
26 provided by paragraph (6) of Section 3-5 of this Act was

 

 

HB0023 - 29 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 erroneously claimed, but not in satisfaction of penalty, if
2 any, and interest for failure to pay the tax when due. A
3 purchaser of production related tangible personal property
4 that is purchased on or after September 1, 2004 who is required
5 to pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase
6 directly to the Department may utilize the Manufacturer's
7 Purchase Credit in satisfaction of the tax arising from that
8 purchase, but not in satisfaction of penalty and interest. A
9 purchaser who uses the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to
10 purchase property on and after September 1, 2004 which is later
11 determined not to be production related tangible personal
12 property may be liable for tax, penalty, and interest on the
13 purchase of that property as of the date of purchase but shall
14 be entitled to use the disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase
15 Credit, so long as it has not expired and is used on qualifying
16 purchases of production related tangible personal property not
17 previously subject to credit usage. The Manufacturer's
18 Purchase Credit earned by a manufacturer or graphic arts
19 producer expires the last day of the second calendar year
20 following the calendar year in which the credit arose. A
21 purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall sign
22 and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
23 Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day of the
24 sixth month following the calendar year in which a
25 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of

HB0023 - 30 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
2 for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
3 price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
4 machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
5 Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
6 items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
7 credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
8 other information as the Department may reasonably require. A

18 Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for each calendar
19 year no later than the last day of the sixth month following
20 the calendar year in which a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is

24 purchase price of production related tangible personal
25 property purchased from Illinois suppliers; (ii) the total

6 related tangible personal property on which the purchaser used
7 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if
8 applicable, either the vendor's registration number or Federal
9 Employer Identification Number), the purchase price, and the
10 amount of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
11     A purchaser that fails to file an annual Report of
12 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
13 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
14 sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
15 forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
16 year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
17 reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
18 be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
19 not previously reported at any time before the credit would
20 have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have
21 agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
22 issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
23 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
24 assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
25 for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
26 to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or

 

 

HB0023 - 32 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 portion thereof has been extended. Manufacturer's Purchase
2 Credit claimed on an amended report may be used to satisfy tax
3 liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act (i)
4 on qualifying purchases of production related tangible
5 personal property made after the date the amended report is
6 filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on qualifying
7 production related tangible personal property purchased on or
8 after September 1, 2004. If the purchaser is not the
9 manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, but rents or leases
10 the use of the property to a manufacturer or graphic arts
11 producer, the purchaser may earn, report, and use
12 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the same manner as a
13 manufacturer or graphic arts producer. A purchaser shall not be
14 entitled to any Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for a purchase
15 that is required to be reported and is not timely reported as
16 provided in this Section. A purchaser remains liable for (i)
17 any tax that was satisfied by use of a Manufacturer's Purchase
18 Credit, as of the date of purchase, if that use is not timely
19 reported as required in this Section and (ii) for any
20 applicable penalties and interest for failing to pay the tax
21 when due.

10 a selling price for the exempt manufacturing machinery or
11 equipment or the exempt graphic arts machinery and equipment,
12 the credit shall be calculated, as otherwise provided herein,
13 based on that selling price. If the serviceman's billing does

2 Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
3 of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but

5 Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. A
6 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reported on any original or
7 amended return filed under this Act after October 20, 2003
8 shall be disallowed. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned
9 by purchase of exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment or

3 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for credit utilized by a
4 construction contractor.
5     No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1,
6 2003 may be used after October 1, 2003. The Manufacturer's
7 Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy liability under the Use
8 Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due on the purchase of
9 production related tangible personal property (including
10 purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or a
11 lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
12 manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
13 qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
14 exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
15 exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
16 means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
17 the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
18 manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
19 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible
20 personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
21 within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
22 to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
23 such as pre-production material handling, receiving, quality
24 control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging

10 mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible
11 personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for
12 research and development. "Production related tangible
13 personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
14 property used, within or without a manufacturing or graphic
15 arts facility, in sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal
16 management, marketing, personnel recruitment or selection, or
17 landscaping or (ii) tangible personal property required to be
18 titled or registered with a department, agency, or unit of
19 federal, state, or local government. The Manufacturer's
20 Purchase Credit may be used, prior to October 1, 2003, to
21 satisfy the tax arising either from the purchase of machinery
22 and equipment on or after January 1, 1995 for which the
23 manufacturing machinery and equipment exemption provided by
24 Section 2 of this Act was erroneously claimed, or the purchase
25 of machinery and equipment on or after July 1, 1996 for which
26 the exemption provided by paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this

 

 

HB0023 - 51 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 Act was erroneously claimed, but not in satisfaction of
2 penalty, if any, and interest for failure to pay the tax when
3 due. A purchaser of production related tangible personal
4 property who is required to pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use
5 Tax on the purchase directly to the Department may, prior to
6 October 1, 2003, utilize the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in
7 satisfaction of the tax arising from that purchase, but not in
8 satisfaction of penalty and interest. A purchaser who uses the
9 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to purchase property which is
10 later determined not to be production related tangible personal
11 property may be liable for tax, penalty, and interest on the
12 purchase of that property as of the date of purchase but shall
13 be entitled to use the disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase
14 Credit, so long as it has not expired and is used prior to
15 October 1, 2003, on qualifying purchases of production related
16 tangible personal property not previously subject to credit
17 usage. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by a
18 manufacturer or graphic arts producer expires the last day of
19 the second calendar year following the calendar year in which
20 the credit arose. No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used
21 after September 30, 2003 regardless of when that credit was
22 earned.
23     A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
24 sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
25 Credit Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day
26 of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a

 

 

HB0023 - 52 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of
2 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms
3 as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
4 for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
5 price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
6 machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
7 Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
8 items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
9 credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
10 other information as the Department may reasonably require. A
11 purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
12 maintain records which identify, as to each purchase of
13 manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment on which
14 the purchaser earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the
15 vendor (including, if applicable, either the vendor's
16 registration number or Federal Employer Identification
17 Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's
18 Purchase Credit earned on each purchase.
19     A purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
20 sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
21 Credit Used for each calendar year no later than the last day
22 of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a

16 of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
17 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
18 sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
19 forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
20 year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
21 reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
22 be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
23 not previously reported at any time before the credit would
24 have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have
25 agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
26 issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4

 

 

HB0023 - 54 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
2 assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
3 for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
4 to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
5 portion thereof has been extended. No Manufacturer's Purchase
6 Credit report filed with the Department for periods prior to
7 January 1, 1995 shall be approved. Manufacturer's Purchase
8 Credit claimed on an amended report may be used, prior to
9 October 1, 2003, to satisfy tax liability under the Use Tax Act
10 or the Service Use Tax Act (i) on qualifying purchases of
11 production related tangible personal property made after the
12 date the amended report is filed or (ii) assessed by the
13 Department on qualifying purchases of production related
14 tangible personal property made in the case of manufacturers on
15 or after January 1, 1995, or in the case of graphic arts
16 producers on or after July 1, 1996.
17     If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts
18 producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
19 manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, the purchaser may
20 earn, report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the
21 same manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer.
22     A purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's
23 Purchase Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported
24 and is not timely reported as provided in this Section. A
25 purchaser remains liable for (i) any tax that was satisfied by
26 use of a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of the date of

 

 

HB0023 - 55 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 purchase, if that use is not timely reported as required in
2 this Section and (ii) for any applicable penalties and interest
3 for failing to pay the tax when due. No Manufacturer's Purchase
4 Credit may be used after September 30, 2003 to satisfy any tax
5 liability imposed under this Act, including any audit
6 liability.
7     (b) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and after
8 September 1, 2004. This subsection (b) applies to
9 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on or after September 1,
10 2004. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on or after
11 September 1, 2004 may only be used to satisfy the Use Tax or
12 Service Use Tax liability incurred on production related
13 tangible personal property purchased on or after September 1,
14 2004. A purchaser of production related tangible personal
15 property desiring to use the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
16 shall certify to the seller that the purchaser is satisfying
17 all or part of the liability under the Use Tax Act or the
18 Service Use Tax Act that is due on the purchase of the
19 production related tangible personal property by use of a
20 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. The Manufacturer's Purchase
21 Credit certification must be dated and shall include the name
22 and address of the purchaser, the purchaser's registration
23 number, if registered, the credit being applied, and a
24 statement that the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability
25 is being satisfied with the manufacturer's or graphic arts
26 producer's accumulated purchase credit. Certification may be

 

 

HB0023 - 56 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 incorporated into the manufacturer's or graphic arts
2 producer's purchase order. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
3 certification provided by the manufacturer or graphic arts
4 producer may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's
5 liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service
6 Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
7 of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
8 only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
9 Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. The
10 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by purchase of exempt
11 manufacturing machinery and equipment or graphic arts
12 machinery and equipment is a non-transferable credit. A
13 manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters into a
14 contract involving the installation of tangible personal
15 property into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic
16 arts production facility may, on or after September 1, 2004,
17 authorize a construction contractor to utilize credit
18 accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer to
19 purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or
20 graphic arts producer intending to use accumulated credit to
21 purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a
22 written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a
23 specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall furnish
24 the supplier with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's
25 name, registration or resale number, and a statement that a
26 specific amount of the Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability,

 

 

HB0023 - 57 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 not to exceed 6.25% of the selling price, is being satisfied
2 with the credit. The manufacturer or graphic arts producer
3 shall remain liable to timely report all information required
4 by the annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for
5 credit utilized by a construction contractor.
6     The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy
7 liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due
8 on the purchase, made on or after September 1, 2004, of
9 production related tangible personal property (including
10 purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or a
11 lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
12 manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
13 qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
14 exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
15 exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
16 means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
17 the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
18 manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
19 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible
20 personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
21 within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
22 to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
23 such as pre-production material handling, receiving, quality
24 control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging
25 for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
26 personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a

 

 

HB0023 - 58 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as
2 described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
3 takes place, including tangible personal property purchased
4 for incorporation into real estate within a graphic arts
5 facility and including, but not limited to, all tangible
6 personal property used or consumed in activities such as
7 graphic arts preliminary or pre-press production,
8 pre-production material handling, receiving, quality control,
9 inventory control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling,
10 mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible
11 personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for
12 research and development. "Production related tangible
13 personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
14 property used, within or without a manufacturing or graphic
15 arts facility, in sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal
16 management, marketing, personnel recruitment or selection, or
17 landscaping or (ii) tangible personal property required to be
18 titled or registered with a department, agency, or unit of
19 federal, state, or local government. The Manufacturer's
20 Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy the tax arising either
21 from the purchase of machinery and equipment on or after
22 September 1, 2004 for which the manufacturing machinery and
23 equipment exemption provided by Section 2 of this Act was
24 erroneously claimed, or the purchase of machinery and equipment
25 on or after September 1, 2004 for which the exemption provided
26 by paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this Act was erroneously

 

 

HB0023 - 59 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 claimed, but not in satisfaction of penalty, if any, and
2 interest for failure to pay the tax when due. A purchaser of
3 production related tangible personal property that is
4 purchased on or after September 1, 2004 who is required to pay
5 Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase directly to
6 the Department may utilize the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
7 in satisfaction of the tax arising from that purchase, but not
8 in satisfaction of penalty and interest. A purchaser who uses
9 the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to purchase property on and
10 after September 1, 2004 which is later determined not to be
11 production related tangible personal property may be liable for
12 tax, penalty, and interest on the purchase of that property as
13 of the date of purchase but shall be entitled to use the
14 disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, so long as it has
15 not expired, on qualifying purchases of production related
16 tangible personal property not previously subject to credit
17 usage. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by a
18 manufacturer or graphic arts producer expires the last day of
19 the second calendar year following the calendar year in which
20 the credit arose.
21     A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
22 sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
23 Credit Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day
24 of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
25 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of
26 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms

 

 

HB0023 - 60 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
2 for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
3 price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
4 machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
5 Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
6 items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
7 credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
8 other information as the Department may reasonably require. A

11 manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment on which
12 the purchaser earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the
13 vendor (including, if applicable, either the vendor's
14 registration number or Federal Employer Identification
15 Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's
16 Purchase Credit earned on each purchase.
17     A purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
18 sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
19 Credit Used for each calendar year no later than the last day
20 of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
21 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is used. A Report of
22 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used shall be filed on forms as
23 prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state, for
24 each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase price
25 of production related tangible personal property purchased
26 from Illinois suppliers; (ii) the total purchase price of

 

 

HB0023 - 61 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 production related tangible personal property purchased from
2 out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the total amount of credit used
3 during such month; and (iv) such other information as the
4 Department may reasonably require. A purchaser using
5 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain records that
6 identify, as to each purchase of production related tangible
7 personal property on which the purchaser used Manufacturer's
8 Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable, either
9 the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer
10 Identification Number), the purchase price, and the amount of
11 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
12     A purchaser that fails to file an annual Report of
13 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
14 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
15 sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
16 forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
17 year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
18 reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
19 be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
20 not previously reported at any time before the credit would
21 have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have
22 agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
23 issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
24 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
25 assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
26 for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date

 

 

HB0023 - 62 - LRB096 02995 HLH 13009 b

1 to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
2 portion thereof has been extended. Manufacturer's Purchase
3 Credit claimed on an amended report may be used to satisfy tax
4 liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act (i)
5 on qualifying purchases of production related tangible
6 personal property made after the date the amended report is
7 filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on qualifying
8 production related tangible personal property purchased on or
9 after September 1, 2004.
10     If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts
11 producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
12 manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, the purchaser may
13 earn, report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the
14 same manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer. A
15 purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's Purchase
16 Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported and is
17 not timely reported as provided in this Section. A purchaser
18 remains liable for (i) any tax that was satisfied by use of a
19 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of the date of purchase, if
20 that use is not timely reported as required in this Section and
21 (ii) for any applicable penalties and interest for failing to
22 pay the tax when due.
