| | | HB6220 | - 3 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | Director of Revenue shall order transferred and the State | 2 | | Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer from the Sales | 3 | | and Excise Tax Refund Fund to the General Revenue Fund any | 4 | | surplus remaining in the Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund as | 5 | | determined by the Department of Revenue as of the end of such | 6 | | fiscal year. | 7 | | (d) Moneys in the Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund shall be | 8 | | expended exclusively for the purpose of paying refunds, paying | 9 | | unclaimed property, and making transfers, all pursuant to this | 10 | | Section. | 11 | | (e) This Section shall constitute an irrevocable and | 12 | | continuing appropriation from the Sales and Excise Tax Refund | 13 | | Fund for the purpose of paying refunds and unclaimed property | 14 | | upon the order of the Director of Revenue in accordance with | 15 | | the provisions of this Section. | 16 | | Section 10. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section | 17 | | 19 as follows:
| 18 | | (35 ILCS 105/19) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.19)
| 19 | | Sec. 19.
If it shall appear that an amount of tax or | 20 | | penalty or interest has
been paid in error hereunder to the | 21 | | Department by a purchaser, as distinguished
from the retailer, | 22 | | whether such amount be paid through a mistake of fact or
an | 23 | | error of law, such purchaser may file a claim for credit or | 24 | | refund with
the Department in accordance with Sections 6, 6a, |
| | | HB6220 | - 4 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | 6b, 6c, and 6d of the
Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act. If it | 2 | | shall appear that an amount of tax or penalty or
interest has | 3 | | been paid in error to the Department hereunder by a retailer
| 4 | | who is required or authorized to collect and remit the use tax, | 5 | | whether
such amount be paid through a mistake of fact or an | 6 | | error of law, such
retailer may file a claim for credit or | 7 | | refund with the Department in
accordance with Sections 6, 6a, | 8 | | 6b, 6c, and 6d of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act,
provided | 9 | | that no credit or refund shall be allowed for any amount paid | 10 | | by
any such retailer unless it shall appear that he bore the | 11 | | burden of such
amount and did not shift the burden thereof to | 12 | | anyone else (as in the case
of a duplicated tax payment which | 13 | | the retailer made to the Department and
did not collect from | 14 | | anyone else), or unless it shall appear that he or
she or his | 15 | | or her legal representative has unconditionally repaid such
| 16 | | amount to his vendee (1) who bore the burden thereof and has | 17 | | not shifted
such burden directly or indirectly in any manner | 18 | | whatsoever; (2) who, if he
has shifted such burden, has repaid | 19 | | unconditionally such amount to his or
her own vendee, and (3) | 20 | | who is not entitled to receive any reimbursement
therefor from | 21 | | any other source than from his vendor, nor to be relieved of
| 22 | | such burden in any other manner whatsoever. If it shall appear | 23 | | that an
amount of tax has been paid in error hereunder by the | 24 | | purchaser to a
retailer, who retained such tax as reimbursement | 25 | | for his or her tax
liability on the same sale under the | 26 | | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and who
remitted the amount |
| | | HB6220 | - 5 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | involved to the Department under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax | 2 | | Act, whether such amount be paid through a mistake of fact
or | 3 | | an error of law, the procedure for recovering such tax shall be | 4 | | that
prescribed in Sections 6, 6a, 6b and 6c of the Retailers' | 5 | | Occupation Tax Act.
| 6 | | Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Section | 7 | | shall bear interest
at the rate and in the manner specified in | 8 | | the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act.
| 9 | | Any claim filed hereunder shall be filed upon a form | 10 | | prescribed and
furnished by the Department. The claim shall be | 11 | | signed by the claimant (or
by the claimant's legal | 12 | | representative if the claimant shall have died or
become a | 13 | | person under legal disability), or by a duly authorized agent | 14 | | of
the claimant or his or her legal representative.
| 15 | | A claim for credit or refund shall be considered to have | 16 | | been filed with
the Department on the date upon which it is | 17 | | received by the Department.
Upon receipt of any claim for | 18 | | credit or refund filed under this Act, any
officer or employee | 19 | | of the Department, authorized in writing by the
Director of | 20 | | Revenue to acknowledge receipt of such claims on behalf of the
| 21 | | Department, shall execute on behalf of the Department, and | 22 | | shall deliver or
mail to the claimant or his duly authorized | 23 | | agent, a written receipt,
acknowledging that the claim has been | 24 | | filed with the Department, describing
the claim in sufficient | 25 | | detail to identify it and stating the date upon
which the claim | 26 | | was received by the Department. Such written receipt shall
be |
| | | HB6220 | - 6 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | prima facie evidence that the Department received the claim | 2 | | described in
such receipt and shall be prima facie evidence of | 3 | | the date when such claim
was received by the Department. In the | 4 | | absence of such a written receipt,
the records of the | 5 | | Department as to when the claim was received by the
Department, | 6 | | or as to whether or not the claim was received at all by the
| 7 | | Department, shall be deemed to be prima facie correct upon | 8 | | these questions
in the event of any dispute between the | 9 | | claimant (or his or her legal
representative) and the | 10 | | Department concerning these questions.
| 11 | | In case the Department determines that the claimant is | 12 | | entitled to a
refund, such refund shall be made only from the | 13 | | Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund such appropriation as may be
| 14 | | available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely that the | 15 | | amount available
appropriated would permit everyone having a | 16 | | claim allowed during the period
covered by such appropriation | 17 | | to elect to receive a cash refund, the
Department, by rule or | 18 | | regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds in
| 19 | | hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as | 20 | | hardship cases.
| 21 | | If a retailer who has failed to pay use tax on gross | 22 | | receipts from
retail sales is required by the Department to pay | 23 | | such tax, such retailer,
without filing any formal claim with | 24 | | the Department, shall be allowed to
take credit against such | 25 | | use tax liability to the extent, if any, to which
such retailer | 26 | | has paid an amount equivalent to retailers' occupation tax or
|
| | | HB6220 | - 7 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | has paid use tax in error to his or her vendor or vendors of the | 2 | | same tangible
personal property which such retailer bought for | 3 | | resale and did not first
use before selling it, and no penalty | 4 | | or interest shall be charged to such
retailer on the amount of | 5 | | such credit. However, when such credit is allowed
to the | 6 | | retailer by the Department, the vendor is precluded from | 7 | | refunding
any of that tax to the retailer and filing a claim | 8 | | for credit or refund
with respect thereto with the Department. | 9 | | The provisions of this amendatory
Act shall be applied | 10 | | retroactively, regardless of the date of the transaction.
| 11 | | (Source: P.A. 99-217, eff. 7-31-15.)
| 12 | | Section 15. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by changing | 13 | | Section 17 as follows:
| 14 | | (35 ILCS 110/17) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.47)
| 15 | | Sec. 17.
If it shall appear that an amount of tax or | 16 | | penalty or interest has
been paid in error hereunder to the | 17 | | Department by a purchaser, as distinguished
from the | 18 | | serviceman, whether such amount be paid through a mistake of | 19 | | fact
or an error of law, such purchaser may file a claim for | 20 | | credit or refund
with the Department. If it shall appear that | 21 | | an amount of tax or penalty or
interest has been paid in error | 22 | | to the Department hereunder by a serviceman
who is required or | 23 | | authorized to collect and remit the Service Use Tax,
whether | 24 | | such amount be paid through a mistake of fact or an error of |
| | | HB6220 | - 8 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | law,
such serviceman may file a claim for credit or refund with | 2 | | the Department,
provided that no credit shall be allowed or | 3 | | refund made for any amount paid
by any such serviceman unless | 4 | | it shall appear that he bore the burden of
such amount and did | 5 | | not shift the burden thereof to anyone else (as in the
case of | 6 | | a duplicated tax payment which the serviceman made to the
| 7 | | Department and did not collect from anyone else), or unless it | 8 | | shall appear
that he or his legal representative has | 9 | | unconditionally repaid such amount
to his vendee (1) who bore | 10 | | the burden thereof and has not shifted such
burden directly or | 11 | | indirectly in any manner whatsoever; (2) who, if he has
shifted | 12 | | such burden, has repaid unconditionally such amount to his own
| 13 | | vendee, and (3) who is not entitled to receive any | 14 | | reimbursement therefor
from any other source than from his | 15 | | vendor, nor to be relieved of such
burden in any other manner | 16 | | whatsoever. If it shall appear that an amount of
tax has been | 17 | | paid in error hereunder by the purchaser to a serviceman, who
| 18 | | retained such tax as reimbursement for his tax liability on the | 19 | | same sale
of service under the Service Occupation Tax Act, and | 20 | | who paid such tax
as required by the Service Occupation Tax | 21 | | Act, whether such amount be
paid through a mistake of fact or | 22 | | an error of law, the procedure for
recovering such tax shall be | 23 | | that prescribed in Sections 17, 18, 19 and 20
of the Service | 24 | | Occupation Tax Act.
| 25 | | Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Section | 26 | | shall bear interest
at the rate and in the manner specified in |
| | | HB6220 | - 9 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act.
| 2 | | Any claim filed hereunder shall be filed upon a form | 3 | | prescribed and
furnished by the Department. The claim shall be | 4 | | signed by the claimant (or
by the claimant's legal | 5 | | representative if the claimant shall have died or
become a | 6 | | person under legal disability), or by a duly
authorized agent | 7 | | of the claimant or his or her legal representative.
| 8 | | A claim for credit or refund shall be considered to have | 9 | | been filed with
the Department on the date upon which it is | 10 | | received by the Department.
Upon receipt of any claim for | 11 | | credit or refund filed under this Act, any
officer or employee | 12 | | of the Department, authorized in writing by the
Director of | 13 | | Revenue to acknowledge receipt of such claims on behalf of the
| 14 | | Department, shall execute on behalf of the Department, and | 15 | | shall deliver or
mail to the claimant or his duly authorized | 16 | | agent, a written receipt,
acknowledging that the claim has been | 17 | | filed with the Department, describing
the claim in sufficient | 18 | | detail to identify it and stating the date upon
which the claim | 19 | | was received by the Department. Such written receipt shall
be | 20 | | prima facie evidence that the Department received the claim | 21 | | described in
such receipt and shall be prima facie evidence of | 22 | | the date when such claim
was received by the Department. In the | 23 | | absence of such a written receipt,
the records of the | 24 | | Department as to when the claim was received by the
Department, | 25 | | or as to whether or not the claim was received at all by the
| 26 | | Department, shall be deemed to be prima facie correct upon |
| | | HB6220 | - 10 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | these questions
in the event of any dispute between the | 2 | | claimant (or his or her legal
representative) and the | 3 | | Department concerning these questions.
| 4 | | In case the Department determines that the claimant is | 5 | | entitled to a
refund, such refund shall be made only from the | 6 | | Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund such appropriation as may be
| 7 | | available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely that the | 8 | | amount
available appropriated would permit everyone having a | 9 | | claim allowed during the period
covered by such appropriation | 10 | | to elect to receive a cash refund, the
Department, by rule or | 11 | | regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds in
| 12 | | hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as | 13 | | hardship cases.
| 14 | | (Source: P.A. 87-205 .)
| 15 | | Section 20. The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by | 16 | | changing Section 17 as follows:
| 17 | | (35 ILCS 115/17) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.117)
| 18 | | Sec. 17.
If it shall appear that an amount of tax or | 19 | | penalty or interest has
been paid in error hereunder directly | 20 | | to the Department by a serviceman,
whether such amount be paid | 21 | | through a mistake of fact or an error of law, such
serviceman | 22 | | may file a claim for credit or refund with the Department. If | 23 | | it
shall appear that an amount of tax or penalty or interest | 24 | | has been paid in
error to the Department hereunder by a |
| | | HB6220 | - 11 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | supplier who is required or
authorized to collect and remit the | 2 | | Service Occupation Tax, whether such
amount be paid through a | 3 | | mistake of fact or an error of law, such supplier
may file a | 4 | | claim for credit or refund with the Department, provided that | 5 | | no
credit shall be allowed nor any refund made for any amount | 6 | | paid by any such
supplier unless it shall appear that he bore | 7 | | the burden of such amount and
did not shift the burden thereof | 8 | | to anyone else (as in the case of a
duplicated tax payment | 9 | | which the supplier made to the Department and did
not collect | 10 | | from anyone else), or unless it shall appear that he or his
| 11 | | legal representative has unconditionally repaid such amount to | 12 | | his vendee
(1) who bore the burden thereof and has not shifted | 13 | | such burden directly or
indirectly in any manner whatsoever; | 14 | | (2) who, if he has shifted such
burden, has repaid | 15 | | unconditionally such amount to his own vendee, and (3)
who is | 16 | | not entitled to receive any reimbursement therefor from any | 17 | | other
source than from his supplier, nor to be relieved of such | 18 | | burden in any
other manner whatsoever.
| 19 | | Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Section | 20 | | shall bear interest
at the rate and in the manner specified in | 21 | | the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act.
| 22 | | Any claim filed hereunder shall be filed upon a form | 23 | | prescribed and
furnished by the Department. The claim shall be | 24 | | signed by the claimant (or
by the claimant's legal | 25 | | representative if the claimant shall have died or
become a | 26 | | person under legal disability), or by a duly
authorized agent |
| | | HB6220 | - 12 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | of the claimant or his or her legal representative.
| 2 | | A claim for credit or refund shall be considered to have | 3 | | been filed with
the Department on the date upon which it is | 4 | | received by the Department.
Upon receipt of any claim for | 5 | | credit or refund filed under this Act, any
officer or employee | 6 | | of the Department, authorized in writing by the
Director of | 7 | | Revenue to acknowledge receipt of such claims on behalf of the
| 8 | | Department, shall execute on behalf of the Department, and | 9 | | shall deliver or
mail to the claimant or his or her duly | 10 | | authorized agent, a written receipt,
acknowledging that the | 11 | | claim has been filed with the Department, describing
the claim | 12 | | in sufficient detail to identify it and stating the date upon
| 13 | | which the claim was received by the Department. Such written | 14 | | receipt shall
be prima facie evidence that the Department | 15 | | received the claim described in
such receipt and shall be prima | 16 | | facie evidence of the date when such claim
was received by the | 17 | | Department. In the absence of such a written receipt,
the | 18 | | records of the Department as to when the claim was received by | 19 | | the
Department, or as to whether or not the claim was received | 20 | | at all by the
Department, shall be deemed to be prima facie | 21 | | correct upon these questions
in the event of any dispute | 22 | | between the claimant (or his legal
representative) and the | 23 | | Department concerning these questions.
| 24 | | In case the Department determines that the claimant is | 25 | | entitled to a
refund, such refund shall be made only from the | 26 | | Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund such appropriation as may be
|
| | | HB6220 | - 13 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely that the | 2 | | amount
available appropriated would permit everyone having a | 3 | | claim allowed during the period
covered by such appropriation | 4 | | to elect to receive a cash refund, the
Department, by rule or | 5 | | regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds in
| 6 | | hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as | 7 | | hardship cases.

| 9 | | Section 25. The Retailers' Occupation Tax Act is amended by | 10 | | changing Section 6 as follows:
| 11 | | (35 ILCS 120/6) (from Ch. 120, par. 445)
| 12 | | Sec. 6. Credit memorandum or refund. If it appears, after | 13 | | claim therefor
filed with the Department, that
an amount of tax | 14 | | or penalty or interest has been paid which was not due under
| 15 | | this Act, whether as the result of a mistake of fact or an | 16 | | error of law,
except as hereinafter provided, then the | 17 | | Department shall issue a credit
memorandum or refund to the | 18 | | person who made the erroneous payment or, if
that person died | 19 | | or became a person under legal disability, to his or her
legal | 20 | | representative, as such.
For purposes of this Section, the tax | 21 | | is deemed to be erroneously paid by
a retailer when the | 22 | | manufacturer of a motor vehicle sold by the retailer
accepts
| 23 | | the return of that automobile and refunds to the purchaser the | 24 | | selling price of
that vehicle as provided in the New Vehicle |
| | | HB6220 | - 14 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | Buyer Protection Act. When a
motor vehicle is returned for a | 2 | | refund of the purchase price under the New
Vehicle Buyer | 3 | | Protection Act, the Department shall issue a credit memorandum
| 4 | | or a refund for the amount of tax paid by the retailer under | 5 | | this Act
attributable to the initial sale of that vehicle. | 6 | | Claims submitted by the
retailer are subject to the same | 7 | | restrictions and procedures provided for in
this Act.
If it is | 8 | | determined that the Department
should issue a credit memorandum | 9 | | or refund, the Department may first apply
the amount thereof | 10 | | against any tax or penalty or interest due or to become
due | 11 | | under this Act or under the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation | 12 | | Tax
Act, the Service Use Tax Act,
any local occupation or use | 13 | | tax administered by the Department,
Section 4 of the Water | 14 | | Commission Act of
1985, subsections (b), (c) and (d) of Section | 15 | | 5.01 of the Local Mass
Transit District Act, or subsections | 16 | | (e), (f) and (g) of Section 4.03 of
the Regional Transportation | 17 | | Authority Act, from the person who made the
erroneous payment. | 18 | | If no tax or penalty or interest is due and no
proceeding is | 19 | | pending to determine whether such person is indebted to the
| 20 | | Department for tax or penalty or interest, the credit | 21 | | memorandum or refund
shall be issued to the claimant; or (in | 22 | | the case of a credit memorandum)
the credit memorandum may be | 23 | | assigned and set over by the lawful holder
thereof, subject to | 24 | | reasonable rules of the Department, to any other person
who is | 25 | | subject to this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation | 26 | | Tax Act,
the Service Use Tax Act,
any local occupation or use |
| | | HB6220 | - 15 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | tax administered by the Department,
Section 4 of the Water | 2 | | Commission Act of
1985, subsections (b), (c) and (d) of Section | 3 | | 5.01 of the Local Mass
Transit District Act, or subsections | 4 | | (e), (f) and (g) of Section 4.03 of
the Regional Transportation | 5 | | Authority Act,
and the amount thereof applied by the Department | 6 | | against any tax or
penalty or interest due or to become due | 7 | | under this Act or under the Use
Tax Act, the Service Occupation | 8 | | Tax Act, the Service
Use Tax Act,
any local occupation or use | 9 | | tax administered by the Department,
Section 4 of the Water | 10 | | Commission Act of
1985, subsections (b), (c) and (d) of Section | 11 | | 5.01 of the Local Mass
Transit District Act, or subsections | 12 | | (e), (f) and (g) of Section 4.03 of
the Regional Transportation | 13 | | Authority Act, from such assignee. However, as
to any claim for | 14 | | credit or refund filed with the Department on and after
each | 15 | | January 1 and July 1 no amount of tax or penalty or interest
| 16 | | erroneously paid (either in total or partial liquidation of a | 17 | | tax or
penalty or amount of interest under this Act) more than | 18 | | 3 years prior to
such January 1 and July 1, respectively, shall | 19 | | be credited or refunded,
except that if both the Department and | 20 | | the taxpayer have agreed to an
extension of time to issue a | 21 | | notice of tax liability as
provided in Section 4 of this Act, | 22 | | such claim may be filed at any time
prior to the expiration of | 23 | | the period agreed upon.
| 24 | | No claim may be allowed for any amount paid to the | 25 | | Department, whether
paid voluntarily or involuntarily, if paid | 26 | | in total or partial liquidation
of an assessment which had |
| | | HB6220 | - 16 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | become final before the claim for credit or
refund to recover | 2 | | the amount so paid is filed with the Department, or if
paid in | 3 | | total or partial liquidation of a judgment or order of
court. | 4 | | No credit may be allowed or refund made for any amount paid by | 5 | | or
collected from any claimant unless it appears (a) that the | 6 | | claimant bore
the burden of such amount and has not been | 7 | | relieved thereof nor reimbursed
therefor and has not shifted | 8 | | such burden directly or indirectly through
inclusion of such | 9 | | amount in the price of the tangible personal property
sold by | 10 | | him or her or in any manner whatsoever; and that no | 11 | | understanding or
agreement, written or oral, exists whereby he | 12 | | or she or his or her
legal representative may be relieved of | 13 | | the burden of such amount, be
reimbursed therefor or may shift | 14 | | the burden thereof; or (b) that he or she
or his or her legal | 15 | | representative has repaid unconditionally such amount
to his or | 16 | | her vendee (1) who bore the burden thereof and has not shifted
| 17 | | such burden directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever; | 18 | | (2) who, if
he or she has shifted such burden, has repaid | 19 | | unconditionally such amount
to his own vendee; and (3) who is | 20 | | not entitled to receive any reimbursement
therefor from any | 21 | | other source than from his or her vendor, nor to be
relieved of | 22 | | such burden in any manner whatsoever. No credit may be allowed
| 23 | | or refund made for any amount paid by or collected from any | 24 | | claimant unless
it appears that the claimant has | 25 | | unconditionally repaid, to the purchaser,
any amount collected | 26 | | from the purchaser and retained by the claimant with
respect to |
| | | HB6220 | - 17 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | the same transaction under the Use Tax Act.
| 2 | | Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Section | 3 | | shall bear interest
at the rate and in the manner specified in | 4 | | the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act.
| 5 | | In case the Department determines that the claimant is | 6 | | entitled to a
refund, such refund shall be made only from the | 7 | | Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund such appropriation as may be
| 8 | | available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely that the | 9 | | amount
available appropriated would permit everyone having a | 10 | | claim allowed during the period
covered by such appropriation | 11 | | to elect to receive a cash refund, the
Department, by rule or | 12 | | regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds in
| 13 | | hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as | 14 | | hardship cases.
| 15 | | If a retailer who has failed to pay retailers' occupation | 16 | | tax on gross
receipts from retail sales is required by the | 17 | | Department to pay such tax,
such retailer, without filing any | 18 | | formal claim with the Department, shall
be allowed to take | 19 | | credit against such retailers' occupation tax liability
to the | 20 | | extent, if any, to which such retailer has paid an amount | 21 | | equivalent
to retailers' occupation tax or has paid use tax in | 22 | | error to his or her vendor
or vendors of the same tangible | 23 | | personal property which such retailer bought
for resale and did | 24 | | not first use before selling it, and no penalty or
interest | 25 | | shall be charged to such retailer on the amount of such credit.
| 26 | | However, when such credit is allowed to the retailer by the |
| | | HB6220 | - 18 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | Department, the
vendor is precluded from refunding any of that | 2 | | tax to the retailer and
filing a claim for credit or refund | 3 | | with respect thereto with the
Department. The provisions of | 4 | | this amendatory Act shall be applied
retroactively, regardless | 5 | | of the date of the transaction.

| 10 | | Sec. 1-55. Claims; credit memorandum or refunds. If it | 11 | | appears, after claim is filed with the Department, that an | 12 | | amount of tax or penalty has been paid which was not due under | 13 | | this Act, whether as the result of a mistake of fact or an | 14 | | error of law, except as hereinafter provided, then the | 15 | | Department shall issue a credit memorandum or refund to the | 16 | | person who made the erroneous payment or, if that person has | 17 | | died or become a person under legal disability, to his or her | 18 | | legal representative. | 19 | | If it is determined that the Department should issue a | 20 | | credit or refund under this Act, the Department may first apply | 21 | | the amount thereof against any amount of tax or penalty due | 22 | | under this Act, the Cigarette Tax Act, the Cigarette Use Tax | 23 | | Act, or the Tobacco Products Act of 1995 from the person | 24 | | entitled to that credit or refund. For this purpose, if |
| | | HB6220 | - 19 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | proceedings are pending to determine whether or not any tax or | 2 | | penalty is due under this Act or under the Cigarette Tax Act, | 3 | | Cigarette Use Tax Act, or the Tobacco Products Act of 1995 from | 4 | | the person, the Department may withhold issuance of the credit | 5 | | or refund pending the final disposition of such proceedings and | 6 | | may apply such credit or refund against any amount found to be | 7 | | due to the Department under this Act, the Cigarette Tax Act, | 8 | | the Cigarette Use Tax Act, or the Tobacco Products Act of 1995 | 9 | | as a result of such proceedings. The balance, if any, of the | 10 | | credit or refund shall be issued to the person entitled | 11 | | thereto. | 12 | | If no tax or penalty is due and no proceeding is pending to | 13 | | determine whether such taxpayer is indebted to the Department | 14 | | for the payment of a tax or penalty, the credit memorandum or | 15 | | refund shall be issued to the claimant; or (in the case of a | 16 | | credit memorandum) the credit memorandum may be assigned and | 17 | | set over by the lawful holder thereof, subject to reasonable | 18 | | rules of the Department, to any other person who is subject to | 19 | | this Act, the Cigarette Tax Act, the Cigarette Use Tax Act, or | 20 | | the Tobacco Products Act of 1995, and the amount thereof shall | 21 | | be applied by the Department against any tax or penalty due or | 22 | | to become due under this Act, the Cigarette Tax Act, the | 23 | | Cigarette Use Tax Act, or the Tobacco Products Act of 1995 from | 24 | | such assignee. | 25 | | As to any claim filed hereunder with the Department on and | 26 | | after each January 1 and July 1, no amount of tax or penalty |
| | | HB6220 | - 20 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | erroneously paid (either in total or partial liquidation of a | 2 | | tax or penalty under this Act) more than 3 years prior to such | 3 | | January 1 and July 1, respectively, shall be credited or | 4 | | refunded, except that, if both the Department and the taxpayer | 5 | | have agreed to an extension of time to issue a notice of tax | 6 | | liability under this Act, the claim may be filed at any time | 7 | | prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. | 8 | | Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Act shall | 9 | | bear interest at the rate and in the manner set forth in the | 10 | | Uniform Penalty and Interest Act. | 11 | | In case the Department determines that the claimant is | 12 | | entitled to a refund, such refund shall be made only from the | 13 | | Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund as may be appropriations | 14 | | available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely that the | 15 | | amount available appropriated would permit everyone having a | 16 | | claim allowed during the period covered by such appropriation | 17 | | to elect to receive a cash refund, the Department, by rule or | 18 | | regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds in | 19 | | hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as | 20 | | hardship cases. | 21 | | The provisions of Sections 6a, 6b, and 6c of the Retailers' | 22 | | Occupation Tax Act which are not inconsistent with this Act | 23 | | shall apply, as far as practicable, to the subject matter of | 24 | | this Act to the same extent as if such provisions were included | 25 | | herein.

| 1 | | Section 35. The Cigarette Tax Act is amended by changing | 2 | | Section 9d as follows:
| 3 | | (35 ILCS 130/9d) (from Ch. 120, par. 453.9d)
| 4 | | Sec. 9d.
If it appears, after claim therefor filed with the | 5 | | Department,
that an amount of tax or penalty has been paid | 6 | | which was not due under this
Act, whether as the result of a | 7 | | mistake of fact or an error of law, except as
hereinafter | 8 | | provided, then the Department shall issue a credit memorandum
| 9 | | or refund to the person who made the erroneous payment or, if | 10 | | that person
has died or become a person under legal disability, | 11 | | to his or her legal
representative, as such.
| 12 | | If it is determined that the Department should issue a | 13 | | credit or refund
under this Act, the Department may first apply | 14 | | the amount thereof against
any amount of tax or penalty due | 15 | | under this Act or under the Cigarette Use
Tax Act from the | 16 | | person entitled to such credit or refund. For this
purpose, if | 17 | | proceedings are pending to determine whether or not any tax or
| 18 | | penalty is due under this Act or under the Cigarette Use Tax | 19 | | Act from such
person, the Department may withhold issuance of | 20 | | the credit or refund
pending the final disposition of such | 21 | | proceedings and may apply such credit
or refund against any | 22 | | amount found to be due to the Department under this
Act or | 23 | | under the Cigarette Use Tax Act as a result of such | 24 | | proceedings. The
balance, if any, of the credit or refund shall |
| | | HB6220 | - 22 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | be issued to the person
entitled thereto.
| 2 | | If no tax or penalty is due and no proceeding is pending to | 3 | | determine
whether such taxpayer is indebted to the Department | 4 | | for tax or penalty, the
credit memorandum or refund shall be | 5 | | issued to the claimant; or (in the
case of a credit memorandum) | 6 | | the credit memorandum may be assigned and set
over by the | 7 | | lawful holder thereof, subject to reasonable rules of the
| 8 | | Department, to any other person who is subject to this Act or | 9 | | the Cigarette
Use Tax Act, and the amount thereof shall be | 10 | | applied by the Department
against any tax or penalty due or to | 11 | | become due under this Act or under the
Cigarette Use Tax Act | 12 | | from such assignee.
| 13 | | As to any claim filed hereunder with the Department on and | 14 | | after each
January 1 and July 1, no amount of tax or penalty | 15 | | erroneously paid (either
in total or partial liquidation of a | 16 | | tax or penalty under this Act) more
than 3 years prior to such | 17 | | January 1 and July 1, respectively, shall be
credited or | 18 | | refunded, except that if both the Department and the taxpayer
| 19 | | have agreed to an extension of time to issue a notice of tax | 20 | | liability under
this Act, the claim may be filed at any time | 21 | | prior to the expiration of the
period agreed upon.
| 22 | | If the Department approves a claim for stamps affixed to a | 23 | | product returned
to a manufacturer or for replacement of | 24 | | stamps, the credit memorandum shall not
exceed the face value | 25 | | of stamps originally affixed, and replacement stamps
shall be | 26 | | issued only in an amount equal to the value of the stamps |
| | | HB6220 | - 23 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | previously
affixed. Higher denomination stamps shall not be | 2 | | issued as replacements for
lower value stamps. Distributors | 3 | | must prove the face value of the stamps which
have been | 4 | | destroyed or returned to manufacturers when filing claims.
| 5 | | Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Act shall | 6 | | bear interest
at the rate and in the manner set forth in the | 7 | | Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act.
| 8 | | In case the Department determines that the claimant is | 9 | | entitled to a
refund, such refund shall be made only from the | 10 | | Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund such appropriation as may be
| 11 | | available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely that the | 12 | | amount
available appropriated would permit everyone having a | 13 | | claim allowed during the period
covered by such appropriation | 14 | | to elect to receive a cash refund, the
Department, by rule or | 15 | | regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds
in | 16 | | hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as | 17 | | hardship
cases.
| 18 | | If the Department approves a claim for the physical | 19 | | replacement of
cigarette tax stamps, the Department (subject to | 20 | | the same limitations as
those provided for hereinbefore in this | 21 | | Section) may issue an assignable
credit memorandum or refund to | 22 | | the claimant or to the claimant's legal
representative.
| 23 | | The provisions of Sections 6a, 6b and 6c of the Retailers' | 24 | | Occupation
Tax Act which are not inconsistent with this Act, | 25 | | shall apply, as far as
practicable, to the subject matter of | 26 | | this Act to the same extent as if
such provisions were included |
| | | HB6220 | - 24 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |

| 5 | | (35 ILCS 135/14a) (from Ch. 120, par. 453.44a)
| 6 | | Sec. 14a.
If it appears, after claim therefor filed with | 7 | | the Department, that an
amount of tax or penalty has been paid | 8 | | which was not due under this Act,
whether as the result of a | 9 | | mistake of fact or an error of law, except as
hereinafter | 10 | | provided, then the Department shall issue a credit memorandum
| 11 | | or refund to the person who made the erroneous payment or, if | 12 | | that person
has died or become a person under legal disability,
| 13 | | to his or her legal representative, as such.
| 14 | | If it is determined that the Department should issue a | 15 | | credit or refund
under this Act, the Department may first apply | 16 | | the amount thereof against
any amount of tax or penalty due | 17 | | under this Act or under the Cigarette Tax
Act from the person | 18 | | entitled to such credit or refund. For this purpose, if
| 19 | | proceedings are pending to determine whether or not any tax or | 20 | | penalty is
due under this Act or under the Cigarette Tax Act | 21 | | from such person, the
Department may withhold issuance of the | 22 | | credit or refund pending the final
disposition of such | 23 | | proceedings and may apply such credit or refund against
any | 24 | | amount found to be due to the Department under this Act or |
| | | HB6220 | - 25 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | under the
Cigarette Tax Act as a result of such proceedings. | 2 | | The balance, if any, of
the credit or refund shall be issued to | 3 | | the person entitled thereto.
| 4 | | If no tax or penalty is due and no proceeding is pending to | 5 | | determine
whether such taxpayer is indebted to the Department | 6 | | for tax or penalty, the
credit memorandum or refund shall be | 7 | | issued to the claimant; or (in the
case of a credit memorandum) | 8 | | may be assigned and set over by the lawful
holder thereof, | 9 | | subject to reasonable rules of the Department, to any other
| 10 | | person who is subject to this Act or the Cigarette Tax Act, and | 11 | | the amount
thereof shall be applied by the Department against | 12 | | any tax or penalty due
or to become due under this Act or under | 13 | | the Cigarette Tax Act from such
assignee.
| 14 | | As to any claim filed hereunder with the Department on and | 15 | | after each
January 1 and July 1, no amount of tax or penalty | 16 | | erroneously paid (either
in total or partial liquidation of a | 17 | | tax or penalty under this Act) more
than 3 years prior to such | 18 | | January 1 and July 1, respectively, shall be
credited or | 19 | | refunded, except that if both the Department and the taxpayer
| 20 | | have agreed to an
extension of time to issue a notice of tax | 21 | | liability under this Act, the claim
may be filed at any time | 22 | | prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon.
| 23 | | In case the Department determines that the claimant is | 24 | | entitled to a
refund, such refund shall be made only from the | 25 | | Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund such appropriation as may be
| 26 | | available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely that the |
| | | HB6220 | - 26 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | amount
available appropriated would permit everyone having a | 2 | | claim allowed during the period
covered by such appropriation | 3 | | to elect to receive a cash refund, the
Department, by rule or | 4 | | regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds
in | 5 | | hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as | 6 | | hardship
cases.
| 7 | | If the Department approves a claim for the physical | 8 | | replacement of
cigarette tax stamps, the Department (subject to | 9 | | the same limitations as
those provided for hereinbefore in this | 10 | | Section) may issue an assignable
credit memorandum or refund to | 11 | | the claimant or to the claimant's legal
representative.
| 12 | | Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Act shall | 13 | | bear interest at
the rate and in the manner set forth in the | 14 | | Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.

| 23 | | Section 45. The Coin-Operated Amusement Device and | 24 | | Redemption Machine Tax Act is amended by changing Section 2 as | 25 | | follows:
|
| | | HB6220 | - 27 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | (35 ILCS 510/2) (from Ch. 120, par. 481b.2)
| 2 | | Sec. 2.
(a) Any person, firm, limited liability company, or | 3 | | corporation
which displays any device described in Section 1, | 4 | | to be played or operated by
the public at any place owned or | 5 | | leased by any such person, firm, limited
liability company, or | 6 | | corporation, shall before he displays such device, file
in the | 7 | | Office of the Department of Revenue
a form containing | 8 | | information regarding such device, setting
forth his name and | 9 | | address, with a brief description of the device to be
displayed | 10 | | and the premises where such device will be located, together
| 11 | | with such other relevant data as the Department of Revenue may | 12 | | require.
Such form shall be accompanied by the
required | 13 | | privilege tax for each device. Such privilege tax shall be paid | 14 | | to the
Department of Revenue
of the State of Illinois and all | 15 | | monies received by the Department of
Revenue under this Act | 16 | | shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund in
the State | 17 | | Treasury. The Department of Revenue shall supply and deliver
to | 18 | | the person, firm, limited liability company, or corporation | 19 | | which displays
any device described in Section 1, charges | 20 | | prepaid and without additional cost,
one privilege tax decal | 21 | | for each such device on which the
tax has been paid, stating
| 22 | | the year for which issued. Such privilege tax decal shall
| 23 | | thereupon be securely affixed
to such device.
| 24 | | (b) If an amount of tax, penalty, or interest has
been paid | 25 | | in error to the Department, the taxpayer may file a claim for |
| | | HB6220 | - 28 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | credit
or refund with the Department. If it is determined that | 2 | | the Department must
issue a credit or refund under this Act, | 3 | | the Department may first apply the
amount of the credit or | 4 | | refund due against any amount of tax, penalty, or
interest due | 5 | | under this Act from the taxpayer entitled to the credit or | 6 | | refund.
If proceedings are pending to determine if any tax, | 7 | | penalty, or interest is
due under this Act from the taxpayer, | 8 | | the Department may withhold issuance of
the credit or refund | 9 | | pending the final disposition of those proceedings and may
| 10 | | apply that credit or refund against any amount determined to be | 11 | | due to the
Department as a result of those proceedings. The | 12 | | balance, if any, of the
credit or refund shall be paid to the | 13 | | taxpayer.
| 14 | | If no tax, penalty, or interest is due and no proceedings | 15 | | are pending to
determine whether the taxpayer is indebted to | 16 | | the Department for tax, penalty,
or interest, the credit | 17 | | memorandum or refund shall be issued to the taxpayer;
or, the | 18 | | credit memorandum may be assigned by the taxpayer, subject to
| 19 | | reasonable rules of the Department, to any other person who is | 20 | | subject to this
Act, and the amount of the credit memorandum by | 21 | | the Department against any tax,
penalty, or interest due or to | 22 | | become due under this Act from the assignee.
| 23 | | For any claim for credit or refund filed with the | 24 | | Department on or after
each July 1, no amount erroneously paid | 25 | | more than 3 years before that July 1,
shall be credited or | 26 | | refunded.

|
| 1 | | A claim for credit or refund shall be filed on a form | 2 | | provided by the
Department. As soon as practicable after any | 3 | | claim for credit or refund is
filed, the Department shall | 4 | | determine the amount of credit or refund to which
the claimant | 5 | | is entitled and shall notify the claimant of that | 6 | | determination.
| 7 | | A claim for credit or refund shall be filed with the | 8 | | Department on the date
it is received by the Department. Upon | 9 | | receipt of any claim for credit or
refund filed under this | 10 | | Section, an officer or employee of the Department,
authorized | 11 | | by the Director of Revenue to acknowledge receipt of such | 12 | | claims on
behalf of the Department, shall deliver or mail to | 13 | | the claimant or his duly
authorized agent, a written receipt, | 14 | | acknowledging that the claim has been
filed with the | 15 | | Department, describing the claim in sufficient detail to
| 16 | | identify it, and stating the date on which the claim was | 17 | | received by the
Department. The written receipt shall be prima | 18 | | facie evidence that the
Department received the claim described | 19 | | in the receipt and shall be prima facie
evidence of the date | 20 | | when such claim was received by the Department. In the
absence | 21 | | of a written receipt, the records of the Department as to | 22 | | whether a
claim was received, or when the claim was received by | 23 | | the Department, shall be
deemed to be prima facie correct in | 24 | | the event of any dispute between the
claimant, or his legal | 25 | | representative, and the Department on these issues.
| 26 | | Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Article |
| | | HB6220 | - 30 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | shall bear interest
at the rate and in the manner specified in | 2 | | the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act.
| 3 | | If the Department determines that the claimant is entitled | 4 | | to a refund, the
refund shall be made only from the Sales and | 5 | | Excise Tax Refund Fund an appropriation to the Department for | 6 | | that
purpose. If the amount available appropriated is | 7 | | insufficient to pay claimants electing
to
receive a cash | 8 | | refund, the Department by rule or regulation shall first | 9 | | provide
for the payment of refunds in hardship cases as defined | 10 | | by the Department.

| 15 | | Sec. 6.
If it appears, after claim therefor filed with the | 16 | | Department,
that an amount of tax or penalty or interest has | 17 | | been paid which was not due
under this Act, whether as the | 18 | | result of a mistake of fact or an error of law,
except as | 19 | | hereinafter provided, then the Department shall issue a credit
| 20 | | memorandum or refund to the person who made the erroneous | 21 | | payment or, if
that person has died or become a person under | 22 | | legal disability, to his or
her legal representative, as such.
| 23 | | If it is determined that the Department should issue a | 24 | | credit or refund
under this Act, the Department may first apply |
| | | HB6220 | - 31 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | the amount thereof against
any amount of tax or penalty or | 2 | | interest due hereunder from the person
entitled to such credit | 3 | | or refund. For this purpose, if proceedings are
pending to | 4 | | determine whether or not any tax or penalty or interest is due
| 5 | | under this Act from such person, the Department may withhold | 6 | | issuance of
the credit or refund pending the final disposition | 7 | | of such proceedings and
may apply such credit or refund against | 8 | | any amount found to be due to the

credit or refund | 10 | | shall be issued to the person entitled thereto.
| 11 | | If no tax or penalty or interest is due and no proceeding | 12 | | is pending to
determine whether such person is indebted to the | 13 | | Department for tax or
penalty or interest, the credit | 14 | | memorandum or refund shall be issued to the
claimant; or (in | 15 | | the case of a credit memorandum) the credit memorandum may
be | 16 | | assigned and set over by the lawful holder thereof, subject to
| 17 | | reasonable rules of the Department, to any other person who is | 18 | | subject to

years prior to such January 1 and | 24 | | July 1, respectively, shall be credited
or refunded, except | 25 | | that if both the Department and the taxpayer have agreed
to an

may be filed at any time prior to the expiration | 2 | | of the period agreed upon.
| 3 | | Claims for credit or refund shall be filed upon forms | 4 | | provided by the
Department. As soon as practicable after any | 5 | | claim for credit or refund is
filed, the Department shall | 6 | | examine the same and determine the amount of
credit or refund | 7 | | to which the claimant is entitled and shall notify the
claimant | 8 | | of such determination, which amount shall be prima facie | 9 | | correct.

at the rate and in the manner specified in the | 12 | | Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act.

refund, such refund shall be made only from the | 15 | | Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund such appropriation as may be
| 16 | | available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely that the | 17 | | amount
available appropriated would permit everyone having a | 18 | | claim allowed during the period
covered by such appropriation | 19 | | to elect to receive a cash refund, the
Department, by rule or | 20 | | regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds
in | 21 | | hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as | 22 | | hardship
cases.

If it appears, after claim therefor filed with the | 3 | | Department,
that an amount of tax or penalty or interest has | 4 | | been paid which was not
due under this Act, whether as the | 5 | | result of a mistake of fact or an error of

if proceedings are
pending to determine whether | 5 | | or not any tax or penalty or interest is due
under this Act | 6 | | from such person, the Department may withhold issuance of
the | 7 | | credit or refund pending the final disposition of such | 8 | | proceedings and

If it appears, after claim therefor filed with the | 4 | | Department,

| 13 | | (35 ILCS 630/10) (from Ch. 120, par. 2010)
| 14 | | Sec. 10.
If it shall appear that an amount of tax or | 15 | | penalty or
interest has been paid in error hereunder to the | 16 | | Department by a taxpayer,
as distinguished from the retailer, | 17 | | whether such amount be paid through a
mistake of fact or an | 18 | | error of law, such taxpayer may file a claim for
credit or | 19 | | refund with the Department. If it shall appear that an amount | 20 | | of
tax or penalty or interest has been paid in error to the | 21 | | Department
hereunder by a retailer who is required or | 22 | | authorized to collect and remit
the tax imposed by this | 23 | | Article, whether such amount be paid through a mistake
of fact | 24 | | or an error of law, such retailer may file a claim for credit |
| | | HB6220 | - 41 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | or
refund with the Department, provided that no credit or | 2 | | refund shall be
allowed for any amount paid by any such | 3 | | retailer unless it shall appear
that he bore the burden of such | 4 | | amount and did not shift the burden thereof
to anyone else, or | 5 | | unless it shall appear that he or she or his or her
legal | 6 | | representative has unconditionally repaid such amount to his | 7 | | customer
(1) who bore the burden thereof and has not shifted | 8 | | such burden directly or
indirectly in any manner whatsoever; or | 9 | | (2) who, if he or she shifted such
burden, has repaid | 10 | | unconditionally such amount to his or her own customer;
and (3) | 11 | | who is not entitled to receive any reimbursement therefor from | 12 | | any
other source than from his retailer, nor to be relieved of | 13 | | such burden in
any other manner whatsoever.
| 14 | | If it is determined that the Department should issue a | 15 | | credit or refund
under this Article, the Department may first | 16 | | apply the amount thereof against
any amount of tax or penalty | 17 | | or interest due hereunder from the
person entitled to such | 18 | | credit or refund. For this purpose, if proceedings
are pending | 19 | | to determine whether or not any tax or penalty or interest is
| 20 | | due under this Article from such person, the Department may | 21 | | withhold issuance
of the credit or refund pending the final | 22 | | disposition of such proceedings
and may apply such credit or | 23 | | refund against any amount found to be due to
the Department as | 24 | | a result of such proceedings. The balance, if any, of
the | 25 | | credit or refund shall be issued to the person entitled | 26 | | thereto.

such | 11 | | assignee.
| 12 | | As to any claim for credit or refund filed with the | 13 | | Department on or after
each January 1 and July 1, no amounts | 14 | | erroneously paid more than three
years prior to such January 1 | 15 | | and July 1, respectively, shall be

may be filed at any time prior to the expiration | 19 | | of the period agreed upon.
| 20 | | Claims for credit or refund shall be filed upon forms | 21 | | provided by the
Department. As soon as practicable after any | 22 | | claim for credit or refund is
filed, the Department shall | 23 | | examine the same and determine the amount of
credit or refund | 24 | | to which the claimant is entitled and shall notify the
claimant | 25 | | of such determination, which amount shall be prima facie | 26 | | correct.

|
| 1 | | A claim for credit or refund shall be considered to have | 2 | | been filed with
the Department on the date upon which it is | 3 | | received by the Department.
Upon receipt of any claim for | 4 | | credit or refund filed under this Article, any
officer or | 5 | | employee of the Department, authorized in writing by the
| 6 | | Director of Revenue to acknowledge receipt of such claims on | 7 | | behalf of the
Department, shall execute on behalf of the | 8 | | Department, and shall deliver or
mail to the claimant or his | 9 | | duly authorized agent, a written receipt,
acknowledging that | 10 | | the claim has been filed with the Department, describing
the | 11 | | claim in sufficient detail to identify it and stating the date | 12 | | upon
which the claim was received by the Department. Such | 13 | | written receipt shall
be prima facie evidence that the | 14 | | Department received the claim described in
such receipt and | 15 | | shall be prima facie evidence of the date when such claim
was | 16 | | received by the Department. In the absence of such a written | 17 | | receipt,
the records of the Department as to when the claim was | 18 | | received by the
Department, or as to whether or not the claim | 19 | | was received at all by the
Department, shall be deemed to be | 20 | | prima facie correct upon these questions
in the event of any | 21 | | dispute between the claimant (or his or her legal
| 22 | | representative) and the Department concerning these questions.
| 23 | | Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Article | 24 | | shall bear interest
at the rate and in the manner specified in | 25 | | the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act.
| 26 | | In case the Department determines that the claimant is |
| | | HB6220 | - 44 - | LRB099 19739 HLH 44137 b |
|
| 1 | | entitled to a
refund, such refund shall be made only from the | 2 | | Sales and Excise Tax Refund Fund such appropriation as may be
| 3 | | available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely that the | 4 | | amount
available appropriated would permit everyone having a | 5 | | claim allowed during the period
covered by such appropriation | 6 | | to elect to receive a cash refund, the
Department by rule or | 7 | | regulation shall provide for the payment of refunds
in hardship | 8 | | cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as hardship
| 9 | | cases.
| 10 | | If a retailer who has failed to pay tax on gross charges | 11 | | for
telecommunications is required by the Department to pay | 12 | | such tax, such
retailer, without filing any formal claim with | 13 | | the Department, shall be
allowed to take credit against such | 14 | | tax liability
to the extent, if any, to which such retailer has | 15 | | paid the
tax to its vendor of the telecommunications which
such | 16 | | retailer purchased and used for resale, and no penalty or | 17 | | interest
shall be charged to such retailer on the amount of | 18 | | such credit. However,
when such credit is allowed to the | 19 | | retailer by the Department, the vendor
is precluded from | 20 | | refunding any of the tax to the retailer and filing a
claim for | 21 | | credit or refund with respect thereto with the Department. The
| 22 | | provisions of this Section added by this amendatory Act of 1988 | 23 | | shall be
applied retroactively, regardless of the date of the | 24 | | transaction.
