Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

(35 ILCS 5/902) (from Ch. 120, par. 9-902)
Sec. 902. Notice and demand. (a) In general. Except as provided in subsection (b) the Director shall,
as soon as practicable after an amount payable under this Act is deemed
assessed (as provided in Section 903), give notice to each person liable
for any unpaid portion of such assessment, stating the amount unpaid and
demanding payment thereof. In the case of tax deemed assessed with the
filing of a return, the Director shall give notice no later than 3 years
after the date the return was filed. Upon receipt of any notice and demand
there shall be paid
at the place and time stated in such notice the amount stated in such
notice. Such notice shall be left at the dwelling or usual place of business
of such person or shall be sent by mail to the person's last known address.
(b) Judicial review. In the case of a deficiency deemed assessed under
Section 903(a)(2) after the filing of a protest, notice and demand shall
not be made with respect to such assessment until all proceedings in court
for the review of such assessment have terminated or the time for the
taking thereof has expired without such proceedings being instituted.
(c) Action for recovery of taxes. At any time that the Department might
commence proceedings for a levy under Section 1109, regardless of whether a
notice of lien was filed under the provisions of Section 1103, it may bring an
action in any court of competent jurisdiction within or without this State
in the name of the people of this State to recover the amount of any taxes,
penalties and interest due and unpaid under this Act. In such action, the
certificate of the Department showing the amount of the delinquency shall
be prima facie evidence of the correctness of such amount, its assessment
and of the compliance by the Department with all the provisions of this Act.
(d) Sales or transfers outside the usual course of
business-Report-Payment of Tax - Rights and duties of purchaser or
transferee - penalty. If any taxpayer, outside the usual course of his
business, sells or transfers the major part of any one or more of (A) the
stock of goods which he is engaged in the business of selling, or (B) the
furniture or fixtures, or (C) the machinery and equipment, or (D) the real
property, of any business that is subject to the provisions of this Act,
the purchaser or transferee of such assets shall, no later than 10 business days
before the sale or transfer, file a notice of sale or transfer of business
assets with the
Department disclosing the name and address of the
seller or transferor, the
name and address of the purchaser or transferee, the date of the sale or
transfer, a copy of the sales contract and financing agreements which shall
include a description of the property sold or transferred, the amount of
the purchase price or a statement of other consideration for the sale or
transfer, and the terms for payment of the purchase price, and such other
information as the Department may reasonably require. If the purchaser or
transferee fails to file the above described notice of sale with the
Department within the prescribed time, the purchaser or transferee shall be
personally liable to the Department for the amount
owed hereunder by the seller or transferor
but unpaid, up to the
amount of the reasonable value of the property acquired by the purchaser or
transferee. The purchaser or transferee shall pay the Department the
amount of tax, penalties, and interest owed by the seller or transferor
under this Act, to the extent they have
not been paid by the seller or transferor. The seller or transferor, or
the purchaser or transferee, at least 10 business days before the date of the sale
or transfer, may notify the Department of the intended sale or transfer
and request the Department to make a determination as to whether the seller
or transferor owes any
tax, penalty or
interest due under this Act. The Department shall take such steps as may
be appropriate to comply with such request.
Any order issued by the Department pursuant to this Section to withhold
from the purchase price shall be issued within 10 business days after the Department
receives notification of a sale as provided in this Section.
The purchaser or transferee shall withhold such portion of
the purchase price
as may be directed by the Department, but not to exceed a
minimum amount varying by type of business, as determined by the Department
pursuant to regulations, plus twice the outstanding unpaid liabilities and
twice the average liability of preceding filings times the number of
unfiled returns which were not filed when due,
to cover the amount of all tax, penalty, and interest due and
unpaid by the seller or transferor under this Act or, if the payment of
money or property is not involved, shall withhold the performance of the
condition that constitutes the consideration for the sale or transfer.
Within 60 business days after issuance of
the initial order to withhold, the Department shall provide written notice
to the purchaser or transferee of the actual amount of all taxes, penalties
and interest then due and whether or not additional amounts may become due
as a result of unpaid taxes required to be withheld by an employer, returns
which were not filed when due, pending assessments and audits not
completed. The purchaser or transferee shall continue to withhold the
amount directed to be withheld by the initial order or such lesser amount
as is specified by the final withholding order or to withhold the
performance of the condition which constitutes the consideration for the
sale or transfer
until
the purchaser or transferee receives from the Department a certificate showing
that no unpaid tax, penalty or interest is due from the seller
or transferor under this Act.
The purchaser or transferee is relieved of any duty to continue to
withhold from the purchase price and of any liability for tax, penalty,
or interest due hereunder from the seller or transferor if the Department
fails to notify the purchaser or transferee in the manner provided
herein of the amount to be withheld
within 10 business days after the sale or transfer has been reported to the
Department or within 60 business days after issuance of the initial order to
withhold, as the case may be.
The Department shall have the right to determine
amounts claimed on an estimated basis to allow for periods for which
returns were not filed when due, pending assessments and audits not
completed, however the purchaser or transferee shall be personally liable
only for the actual amount due when determined.
If the seller or transferor has failed to pay the tax, penalty, and
interest due from him hereunder and the Department makes timely
claim therefor against the purchaser or transferee as hereinabove provided,
then the purchaser
or transferee shall pay to the Department the amount so withheld from the
purchase price. If the purchaser or transferee fails to comply with the
requirements of this Section, the purchaser or transferee shall be
personally liable to the Department for the amount owed hereunder by
the seller or transferor up to the amount of the reasonable
value of the property acquired by the purchaser or transferee.
Any person who shall acquire any property or rights thereto which, at the
time of such acquisition, is subject to a valid lien in favor of the
Department, shall be personally liable to the Department for a sum equal to
the amount of taxes, penalties and interests, secured by such lien, but not
to exceed the reasonable value of such property acquired by him.
