5    Sec. 8-11-1.3. Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
6Occupation Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home
7rule municipality may impose a tax upon all persons engaged in
8the business of selling tangible personal property, other than
9on an item of tangible personal property which is titled and
10registered by an agency of this State's Government, at retail
11in the municipality for expenditure on public infrastructure
12or for property tax relief or both as defined in Section
138-11-1.2 if approved by referendum as provided in Section
148-11-1.1, of the gross receipts from such sales made in the
15course of such business. If the tax is approved by referendum
16on or after July 14, 2010 (the effective date of Public Act
1796-1057), the corporate authorities of a non-home rule
18municipality may, until July 1, 2030, use the proceeds of the
19tax for expenditure on municipal operations, in addition to or
20in lieu of any expenditure on public infrastructure or for

2Article 22B, or Article 22C of the Illinois Pension Code. The
3tax imposed may not be more than 1% and may be imposed only in
41/4% increments. The tax may not be imposed on tangible
5personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers'
6Occupation Tax Act. Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax is
7not imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
8expended for airport-related purposes. If a municipality does
9not have an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates
10aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from
11the tax. Each municipality must comply with the certification
12requirements for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22
13of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this
14Section, "airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed
15in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion
16for aviation fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use
17requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are
18binding on the municipality. The tax imposed by a municipality
19pursuant to this Section and all civil penalties that may be
20assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
21enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
22of registration which is issued by the Department to a
23retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit
24such retailer to engage in a business which is taxable under
25any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section
26without registering separately with the Department under such

7hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
8Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
9Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
10immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
11conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
12definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
13as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j,
142 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other
15than the State rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the
16disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
17the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on

247133 are binding on the municipality.

13Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
14disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
15the municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid
16taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the
17second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
18municipality shall be the amount (not including credit
19memoranda and not including taxes and penalties collected on
20aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019) collected
21hereunder during the second preceding calendar month by the
22Department plus an amount the Department determines is

3were payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously
4paid to the municipality, and not including any amounts that
5are transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1.5% of
6the remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the
7Tax Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
8time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
9prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
10transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
11under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt, by the
12Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the
13municipalities and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
14provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by
15the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
16drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
17directions contained in such certification.

19whose tax is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer of coal
20or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail at the
21place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is
22extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
23coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
24seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
25sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
26interstate or foreign commerce.

 

 

SB1739- 12 -LRB102 02848 AWJ 12856 b

4price of all tangible personal property transferred by such
5servicemen either in the form of tangible personal property or
6in the form of real estate as an incident to a sale of service.
7If the tax is approved by referendum on or after July 14, 2010
8(the effective date of Public Act 96-1057), the corporate
9authorities of a non-home rule municipality may, until
10December 31, 2020, use the proceeds of the tax for expenditure
11on municipal operations, in addition to or in lieu of any
12expenditure on public infrastructure or for property tax

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

12that the returned merchandise credit for this municipal tax
13may not be taken against any State tax, and except that the
14retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation
15fuel that are subject to the revenue use requirements of 49
16U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 10, 11, 12 (except the
