A BILL FOR

 

HB0160 LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1     AN ACT concerning finance.
 
2     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
 
4     Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Road
5 Fund Transfer Procedures Act.
 
6     Section 5. Road Fund transfers; motion required. A bill
7 transferring moneys, during the 2008 and 2009 fiscal years,
8 from the Road Fund to the General Revenue Fund or any other
9 fund in the State treasury may not be considered for final
10 passage by either the House of Representatives or the Senate
11 unless that chamber first adopts, by a record vote of at least
12 two-thirds of the members elected, a motion to consider that
13 bill.
 
14     Section 900. The State Finance Act is amended by changing
15 Section 8h as follows:
 
16     (30 ILCS 105/8h)
17     Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund.
18     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and
19 Section 8n of this Act, and (c), (d), or (e), notwithstanding
20 any other State law to the contrary, the Governor may, through
21 June 30, 2007, from time to time direct the State Treasurer and

 

 

HB0160 - 2 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 Comptroller to transfer a specified sum from any fund held by
2 the State Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to
3 help defray the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.
4 The total transfer under this Section from any fund in any
5 fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the
6 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year
7 or (ii) an amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25%
8 of the July 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year
9 2005 only, prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final
10 balances, the Governor may calculate and direct the State
11 Treasurer with the Comptroller to transfer additional amounts
12 determined by applying the formula authorized in Public Act
13 93-839 to the funds balances on July 1, 2003. No transfer may
14 be made from a fund under this Section that would have the
15 effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an
16 amount less than the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved
17 from the total appropriation from that fund estimated to be
18 expended for that fiscal year. This Section does not apply to
19 any funds that are restricted by federal law to a specific use,
20 to any funds in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Intercity
21 Passenger Rail Fund, the Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid

3 Facility Development and Operation Fund, the Horse Racing
4 Equity Trust Fund, or the Hospital Basic Services Preservation
5 Fund, or to any funds to which subsection (f) of Section 20-40
6 of the Nursing and Advanced Practice Nursing Act applies. No
7 transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet
8 Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision
9 of this Section, for fiscal year 2004, the total transfer under
10 this Section from the Road Fund or the State Construction
11 Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the
12 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year
13 or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund. For fiscal
14 year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be
15 transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State
16 Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information
17 Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the
18 Mandatory Arbitration Fund. For fiscal year 2005 and

22 Governor may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and
23 other resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that
24 fiscal year.
25     The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the
26 amounts designated under this Section as soon as may be

11 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-511), the Child Labor
12 and Day and Temporary Labor Enforcement Fund.
13     (c) This Section does not apply to the Demutualization

6     Section 905. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section
7 9 as follows:
 
8     (35 ILCS 105/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
9     Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
10 and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
11 of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
12 the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
13 amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
14 when he is required to file his return for the period during
15 which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
16 January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
17 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
18 reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
19 tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
20 the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. In the
21 case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
22 by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
23 discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
24 of when such retailer files his periodic return. A retailer

 

 

HB0160 - 6 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 need not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the
2 extent that he is required to remit and does remit the tax
3 imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to
4 the sale of the same property.
5     Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
6 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
7 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
8 extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
9 filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
10 vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
11 to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
12 each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
13 the selling price actually received during such tax return
14 period.
15     Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
16 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
17 a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
18 filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
19 such information as the Department may reasonably require.
20     The Department may require returns to be filed on a
21 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
22 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
23 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
24 taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
25 of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
26 the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:

 

 

HB0160 - 7 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1         1. The name of the seller;
2         2. The address of the principal place of business from
3     which he engages in the business of selling tangible
4     personal property at retail in this State;
5         3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
6     during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
7     personal property by him during such preceding calendar
8     month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
9     less all deductions allowed by law;
10         4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
11     Act;
12         5. The amount of tax due;
13         5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
14         6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
15     may require.
16     If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
17 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
18 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
19 due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
20     Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
21 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
22 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
23 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
24 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
25 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
26 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has

 

 

HB0160 - 8 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
2 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
3 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
4 an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
5 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
6 funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
7 sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
8 other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
9 by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
10 The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
11 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
12 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
13 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
14 divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
15 a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
16 Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
17 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
18 funds transfer.
19     Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
20 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
21 by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
22 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
23 for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
24     Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
25 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
26 with the permission of the Department.

 

 

HB0160 - 9 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1     All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
2 transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
3 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
4 in the manner authorized by the Department.
5     The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
6 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
7 requirements of this Section.
8     Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
9 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
10 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service
11 Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
12 calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
13 each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
14 month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
15 make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
16 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
17 incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
18 average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
19 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
20 Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
21 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
22 with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
23 next following the month during which such tax liability is
24 incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
25 the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
26 liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax

 

 

HB0160 - 10 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
2 payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
3 actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
4 Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
5 of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
6 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
7 the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
8 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
9 after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
10 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
11 actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
12 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
13 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
14 or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
15 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
16 actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
17 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
18 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
19 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
20 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
21 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
22 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
23 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
24 such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
25 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
26 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for

 

 

HB0160 - 11 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
2 calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
3 actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
4 amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
5 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
6 that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
7 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
8 Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
9 monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
10 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
11 liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
12 $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
13 the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
14 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
15 $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
16 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
17 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
18 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
19 will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
20 taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
21 taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
22 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
23 payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
24 average monthly liability to the Department during the
25 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
26 highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less

 

 

HB0160 - 12 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
2 to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
3 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
4 $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
5 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
6 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
7 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
8 will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
9 taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
10 taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
11 taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
12 seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
13 quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
14 amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
15 liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
16 minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
17 payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
18 taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
19 Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
20 provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
21 rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
22 amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
23 on other than a calendar monthly basis.
24     If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
25 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
26 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the

 

 

HB0160 - 13 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
2 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
3 no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
4 memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
5 in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
6 taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
7 similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
8 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
9 in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
10 prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
11 payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
12 after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
13 unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
14 the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
15 liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
16 Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
17 the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
18 accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
19 the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
20 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
21 taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
22 be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
23 credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
24 liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
25     If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
26 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to

 

 

HB0160 - 14 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
2 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
3 with the return for January, February, and March of a given
4 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
5 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
6 year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
7 year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
8 for October, November and December of a given year being due by
9 January 20 of the following year.
10     If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
11 quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
12 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
13 may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
14 the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
15 following year.
16     Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
17 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
18 returns.
19     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
20 the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
21 case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
22 which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
23 such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
24 Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
25 business.
26     In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,

 

 

HB0160 - 15 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
2 an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
3 tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
4 upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
5 separate return for each such item of tangible personal
6 property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
7 transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
8 vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
9 watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
10 watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
11 of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
12 vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
13 watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
14 a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
15 Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
16 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
17 that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
18 invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
19 this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
20 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
21 and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
22 with an inboard motor.
23     The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
24 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
25 agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
26 Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle

12 due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
13 fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
14 identification of the property sold; such other information as
15 is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
16 such other information as the Department may reasonably
17 require.
18     The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
19 and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
20 name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
21 price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
22 traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
23 for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
24 extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
25 the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
26 deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;

 

 

HB0160 - 17 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
2 transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
3 the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
4 such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
5 claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
6 sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
7 information as the Department may reasonably require.
8     Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
9 than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
10 being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
11 than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
12 return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
13 that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
14 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
15 officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
16 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
17 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
18 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
19 applications for title or registration.
20     With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
21 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
22 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
23 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
24 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
25 (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
26 that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser

 

 

HB0160 - 18 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
2 whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
3 that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
4 support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
5 certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
6 tangible personal property.
7     No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
8 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
9 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
10 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
11 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
12 paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
13 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
14 mandate of this paragraph.
15     If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
16 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
17 tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
18 retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
19 paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
20 of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
21 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
22 the information required by the transaction reporting return
23 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
24 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
25 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
26 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be

 

 

HB0160 - 19 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
2 with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
3 provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
4 the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
5 same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
6 if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
7     Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
8 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
9 the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
10 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
11 the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
12 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
13 his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
14 purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
15 refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
16 such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
17 Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
18 to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
19 such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
20 amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
21 deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
22 purchaser.
23     Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
24 include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
25 covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
26 personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,

 

 

HB0160 - 20 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
2 from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
3 remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
4 return.
5     If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
6 Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
7 return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
8 returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
9 Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
10 Acts on the one form.
11     Where the retailer has more than one business registered
12 with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
13 such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
14 return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
15 separate returns for each such registered business.
16     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
17 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
18 fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net
19 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on
20 sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed off
21 the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
22 soft drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate
23 consumption) and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
24 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
25 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
26     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

 

 

HB0160 - 21 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the
2 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
3 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal property
4 which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer
5 and which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
6 government.
7     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
8 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
9 fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue realized for
10 the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling
11 price of tangible personal property, other than tangible
12 personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail
13 from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency
14 of this State's government.
15     Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
16 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the
17 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
18 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
19     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
20 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue
21 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on
22 the selling price of tangible personal property which is
23 purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and which
24 is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
25 government.
26     Beginning on August 1, 2007 and continuing through July 31,

 

 

HB0160 - 22 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 2009, each month the Department shall pay into the Road Fund
2 35% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from
3 the 6.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
4     Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
5 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
6 Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
7 and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
8 Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
9 year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
10 may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required
11 to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to Section 3
12 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax
13 Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the
14 Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called
15 the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
16 may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act
17 Amount", and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
18 Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be
19 less than the Annual Specified Amount (as defined in Section 3
20 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), an amount equal to the
21 difference shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois
22 Fund from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to
23 the Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the last
24 business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount
25 required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account
26 in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the amount

 

 

HB0160 - 23 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 transferred during such month to the Build Illinois Fund from
2 the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less
3 than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to
4 the difference shall be immediately paid into the Build
5 Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the Department
6 pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided, that in no
7 event shall the payments required under the preceding proviso
8 result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund
9 pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of
10 the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual
11 Specified Amount for such fiscal year; and, further provided,
12 that the amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under
13 this clause (b) shall be payable only until such time as the
14 aggregate amount on deposit under each trust indenture securing
15 Bonds issued and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois
16 Bond Act is sufficient, taking into account any future
17 investment income, to fully provide, in accordance with such
18 indenture, for the defeasance of or the payment of the
19 principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
20 secured by such indenture and on any Bonds expected to be
21 issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable with respect
22 thereto, all as certified by the Director of the Bureau of the
23 Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget). If on
24 the last business day of any month in which Bonds are
25 outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the
26 aggregate of the moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond

 

 

HB0160 - 24 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less
2 than the amount required to be transferred in such month from
3 the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
4 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
5 Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
6 shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
7 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois Fund;
8 provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build Illinois
9 Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
10 deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the
11 preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount otherwise
12 payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b) of the
13 preceding sentence. The moneys received by the Department
14 pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the
15 Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and charge
16 set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond Act.
17     Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
18 as provided in the preceding paragraph or in any amendment
19 thereto hereafter enacted, the following specified monthly
20 installment of the amount requested in the certificate of the

4     Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
5 and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
6 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
7 enacted, beginning July 1, 1993, the Department shall each
8 month pay into the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of
9 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
10 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
11 property.

14 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
15 enacted, beginning with the receipt of the first report of

18 Infrastructure Fund 80% of the net revenue realized from the
19 6.25% general rate on the selling price of Illinois-mined coal
20 that was sold to an eligible business. For purposes of this
21 paragraph, the term "eligible business" means a new electric
22 generating facility certified pursuant to Section 605-332 of
23 the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law of the
24 Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
25     Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department

21 sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make written
22 objection to the Department to this arrangement.

24     Section 910. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by changing
25 Section 9 as follows:
 

 

 

HB0160 - 29 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1     (35 ILCS 110/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
2     Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
3 the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
4 of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
5 is required to file his return for the period during which such
6 tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
7 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
8 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
9 serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping
10 records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and
11 supplying data to the Department on request. A serviceman need
12 not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
13 that he is required to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the
14 Service Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of service
15 involving the incidental transfer by him of the same property.
16     Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
17 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
18 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month
19 in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to be
20 promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed on a
21 form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
22 information as the Department may reasonably require.
23     The Department may require returns to be filed on a
24 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
25 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the

 

 

HB0160 - 30 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
2 taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
3 of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
4 the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
5         1. The name of the seller;
6         2. The address of the principal place of business from
7     which he engages in business as a serviceman in this State;
8         3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
9     during the preceding calendar month, including receipts
10     from charge and time sales, but less all deductions allowed
11     by law;
12         4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
13     Act;
14         5. The amount of tax due;
15         5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
16         6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
17     may require.
18     If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
19 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
20 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
21 due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
22     Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
23 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
24 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
25 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
26 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make

 

 

HB0160 - 31 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
2 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
3 an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
4 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
5 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
6 an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
7 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
8 funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
9 sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
10 other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
11 by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
12 The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
13 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
14 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
15 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
16 divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
17 a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
18 Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
19 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
20 funds transfer.
21     Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
22 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
23 by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
24 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
25 for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
26     Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic

 

 

HB0160 - 32 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
2 with the permission of the Department.
3     All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
4 transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
5 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
6 in the manner authorized by the Department.
7     The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
8 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
9 requirements of this Section.
10     If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
11 return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
12 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
13 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
14 with the return for January, February and March of a given year
15 being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
16 May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
17 with the return for July, August and September of a given year
18 being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
19 October, November and December of a given year being due by
20 January 20 of the following year.
21     If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
22 or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax
23 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
24 may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
25 the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
26 following year.

 

 

HB0160 - 33 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1     Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
2 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
3 returns.
4     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
5 the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
6 case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
7 business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
8 this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
9 Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
10 discontinuing such business.
11     Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
12 selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
13 thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
14 selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
15 also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
16 purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
17 refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
18 the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
19 any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
20 occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
21 to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
22 provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall
23 previously have been remitted to the Department by such

2 changing Section 9 as follows:
 
3     (35 ILCS 115/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.109)
4     Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
5 the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
6 of such tax at the time when he is required to file his return
7 for the period during which such tax was collectible, less a
8 discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and

10 greater, which is allowed to reimburse the serviceman for
11 expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
12 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
13 data to the Department on request.
14     Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
15 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
16 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
17 extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
18 filed, the serviceman, in collecting the tax may collect, for
19 each tax return period, only the tax applicable to the part of
20 the selling price actually received during such tax return
21 period.
22     Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
23 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
24 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month

 

 

HB0160 - 43 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

2 promulgated by the Department of Revenue. Such return shall be
3 filed on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain
4 such information as the Department may reasonably require.
5     The Department may require returns to be filed on a
6 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
7 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
8 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
9 taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
10 of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
11 the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
12         1. The name of the seller;
13         2. The address of the principal place of business from
14     which he engages in business as a serviceman in this State;
15         3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him

20     Act;
21         5. The amount of tax due;
22         5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
23         6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
24     may require.
25     If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
26 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,

2 due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
3     Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1,
4 2004 a serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
5 certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use

7 the purchaser provides the appropriate documentation as
8 required by Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act. A
9 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted prior
10 to October 1, 2003 or on or after September 1, 2004 by a
11 serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
12 Act, may be used by that serviceman to satisfy Service
13 Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in the
14 certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
15 tax from a qualifying purchase. A Manufacturer's Purchase
16 Credit reported on any original or amended return filed under
17 this Act after October 20, 2003 for reporting periods prior to
18 September 1, 2004 shall be disallowed. Manufacturer's Purchase
19 Credit reported on annual returns due on or after January 1,
20 2005 will be disallowed for periods prior to September 1, 2004.
21 No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used after September

23 imposed under this Act, including any audit liability.

25 Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
26 his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the

12     Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
13 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
14 returns.
15     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
16 the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
17 case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
18 business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
19 this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
20 Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
21 discontinuing such business.
22     Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
23 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all

19 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
20 funds transfer.
21     Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
22 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
23 by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
24 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
25 for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
26     Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic

2 with the permission of the Department.
3     All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
4 transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
5 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
6 in the manner authorized by the Department.
7     The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
8 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
9 requirements of this Section.
10     Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
11 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
12 the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
13 property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
14 to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
15 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
16 his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
17 purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the tax so
18 refunded by him to the purchaser from any other Service
19 Occupation Tax, Service Use Tax, Retailers' Occupation Tax or
20 Use Tax which such serviceman may be required to pay or remit
21 to the Department, as shown by such return, provided that the
22 amount of the tax to be deducted shall previously have been
23 remitted to the Department by such serviceman. If the
24 serviceman shall not previously have remitted the amount of
25 such tax to the Department, he shall be entitled to no
26 deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.

15     Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
16 and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
17 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
18 enacted, beginning July 1, 1993, the Department shall each

24 and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
25 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
26 enacted, beginning with the receipt of the first report of

 

 

HB0160 - 55 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 taxes paid by an eligible business and continuing for a 25-year
2 period, the Department shall each month pay into the Energy
3 Infrastructure Fund 80% of the net revenue realized from the
4 6.25% general rate on the selling price of Illinois-mined coal
5 that was sold to an eligible business. For purposes of this
6 paragraph, the term "eligible business" means a new electric
7 generating facility certified pursuant to Section 605-332 of
8 the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law of the
9 Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
10     Remaining moneys received by the Department pursuant to
11 this Act shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund of the
12 State Treasury.
13     The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
14 taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
15 Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
16 less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
17 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
18 Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
19 of gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last Federal
20 income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
21 reported in the Federal income tax return do not agree with the
22 gross receipts reported to the Department of Revenue for the
23 same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his annual return a
24 schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
25 reasons for the difference. The taxpayer's annual return to the
26 Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by the

 

 

HB0160 - 56 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 taxpayer during the year covered by such return, opening and
2 closing inventories of such goods for such year, cost of goods
3 used from stock or taken from stock and given away by the
4 taxpayer during such year, pay roll information of the
5 taxpayer's business during such year and any additional
6 reasonable information which the Department deems would be
7 helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly
8 or annual returns filed by such taxpayer as hereinbefore
9 provided for in this Section.
10     If the annual information return required by this Section
11 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable
12 as follows:
13         (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be liable
14     for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such
15     taxpayer under this Act during the period to be covered by
16     the annual return for each month or fraction of a month
17     until such return is filed as required, the penalty to be
18     assessed and collected in the same manner as any other
19     penalty provided for in this Act.
20         (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
21     be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
22     Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
23     The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
24 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
25 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
26 willfully signs the annual return containing false or

 

 

HB0160 - 57 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
2 accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
3 Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
4 return may be liable for perjury.
5     The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the filing
6 of an annual information return shall not apply to a serviceman
7 who is not required to file an income tax return with the
8 United States Government.
9     As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon
10 certification of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller
11 shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
12 the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
13 equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
14 for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
15 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
16     Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
17 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
18 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
19 overpayment of liability.
20     For greater simplicity of administration, it shall be
21 permissible for manufacturers, importers and wholesalers whose
22 products are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois, and who
23 wish to do so, to assume the responsibility for accounting and
24 paying to the Department all tax accruing under this Act with
25 respect to such sales, if the servicemen who are affected do
26 not make written objection to the Department to this

20 return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
21 is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest
22 whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a
23 dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest
24 whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is
25 less than 50 cents.

11     If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
12 quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
13 liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
14 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
15 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
16 of the following year.
17     Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
18 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
19 returns.
20     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
21 the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
22 case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
23 which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
24 such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
25 Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
26 business.

1     Where the same person has more than one business registered
2 with the Department under separate registrations under this
3 Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
4 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
5 shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
6     In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
7 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
8 an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
9 tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
10 upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
11 separate return for each such item of tangible personal
12 property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same

14 vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
15 watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
16 watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
17 purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
18 motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
19 watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
20 a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
21 Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
22 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
23 transaction to the Department on the same uniform
24 invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
25 this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4

6 liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
7 transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
8 to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or

9 price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
10 traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
11 for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
12 extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
13 the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
14 deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
15 the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
16 transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
17 the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
18 such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
19 claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
20 sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
21 information as the Department may reasonably require.
22     Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
23 than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
24 being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
25 than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
26 return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the

 

 

HB0160 - 69 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
2 the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
3 tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
4 titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
5 agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
6 expedite the processing of applications for title or
7 registration.
8     With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
9 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
10 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
11 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
12 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
13 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
14 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
15 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
16 with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
17 property that is involved (if titling or registration is
18 required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
19 Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
20 to such tangible personal property.
21     No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
22 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
23 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
24 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
25 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
26 paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The

 

 

HB0160 - 70 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
2 mandate of this paragraph.
3     If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
4 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
5 the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
6 retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
7 paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
8 of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
9 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
10 the information required by the transaction reporting return
11 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
12 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
13 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
14 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
15 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
16 with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
17 provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
18 the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
19 same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
20 if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
21     Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
22 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
23 returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
24 subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
25 may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
26 receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a

 

 

HB0160 - 71 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
2 with respect to such receipts.
3     Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
4 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
5 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
6 accredited agent of such corporation.
7     Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
8 filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
9 signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
10 the limited liability company.
11     Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
12 return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
13 return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
14 Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
15 on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
16 whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
17 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
18 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
19 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
20 to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
21 which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
22 retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
23 transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
24 shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
25 such retailer files his periodic return.
26     Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly

 

 

HB0160 - 72 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
2 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
3 Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
4 remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
5 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
6 shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
7 day of the month next following the month during which such tax
8 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
9 on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
10 during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
11 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
12 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
13 Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
14 liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
15 with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
16 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
17 with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
18 next following the month during which such tax liability is
19 incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
20 the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
21 liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
22 liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
23 payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
24 actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
25 Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
26 of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete

 

 

HB0160 - 73 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
2 the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
3 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
4 after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
5 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
6 actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
7 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
8 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
9 or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
10 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
11 actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
12 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
13 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
14 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
15 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
16 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
17 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
18 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
19 such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
20 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
21 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
22 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
23 calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
24 actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
25 amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
26 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for

 

 

HB0160 - 74 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
2 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
3 Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
4 of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
5 shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
6 to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
7 quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
8 month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
9 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
10 computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
11 calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
12 taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
13 the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
14 to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
15 reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
16 threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
17 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
18 and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
19 the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
20 taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
21 more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
22 until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
23 Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
24 (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
25 lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
26 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for

 

 

HB0160 - 75 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
2 quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
3 show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
4 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
5 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
6 foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
7 above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
8 change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
9 shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
10 that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
11 long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
12 the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
13 taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
14 difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
15 amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
16 paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
17 payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
18 minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
19 The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
20 govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
21 payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
22 monthly basis.
23     The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
24 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
25 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
26 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit

 

 

HB0160 - 76 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
2 excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
3 calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
4 required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
5 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
6 month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
7 during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to the
8 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment
9 shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's
10 actual liability under Section 2d. If the month during which
11 such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
12 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
13 taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
14 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
15 preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
16 liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
17 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
18 actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
19 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
20 The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
21 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
22 that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
23 may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
24 quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
25 paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
26 prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete

 

 

HB0160 - 77 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
2 monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
3 required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
4 interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
5 previously made payments for that month in excess of the
6 minimum payments previously due.
7     The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
8 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
9 make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
10 who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
11 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
12 excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
13 calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
14 required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
15 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
16 month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
17 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
18 liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
19 the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
20 the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
21 final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
22 filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
23 Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
24 monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
25 shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
26 collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters

 

 

HB0160 - 78 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
2 lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
3 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
4 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
5 quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
6 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
7 taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
8 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
9 payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
10 previously due.
11     If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
12 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
13 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
14 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
15 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
16 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
17 credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
18 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
19 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
20 in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
21 prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
22 taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
23 subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
24 the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
25 Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
26 regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department

 

 

HB0160 - 79 - LRB095 03354 BDD 23358 b

1 subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
2 taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
3 and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
4 of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
5 due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
6 interest on such difference.
7     If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
8 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
9 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
10 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
11 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
12     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
13 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the
14 State treasury which is hereby created, the net revenue
15 realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of
16 food for human consumption which is to be consumed off the
17 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft
18 drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate
19 consumption) and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
20 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
21 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
22     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
23 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a special
24 fund in the State treasury which is hereby created, 4% of the
25 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
26 general rate.

1     Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
2 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the
3 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
4 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
5     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
6 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue
7 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on
8 the selling price of tangible personal property.
9     Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
10 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue
11 realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the
12 selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
13     Beginning on August 1, 2007 and continuing through July 31,
14 2009, each month the Department shall pay into the Road Fund
15 35% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from
16 the 6.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
17     Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
18 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
19 Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
20 and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
21 Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
22 year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
23 may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required
24 to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this Act,

11 such fiscal year. The amounts payable into the Build Illinois
12 Fund under clause (b) of the first sentence in this paragraph
13 shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
14 on deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued and
15 outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
16 sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
17 to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the

6 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build
7 Illinois Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the
8 Build Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this
9 sentence shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to
10 clause (b) of the first sentence of this paragraph and shall
11 reduce the amount otherwise payable for such fiscal year

16 the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
17 payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
18 impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
19 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
20 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
21 that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
22 who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
23 business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
24 exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of
25 loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall notify
