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.

Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1, 2004 a retailer may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit
certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax
as provided in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the purchaser provides the
appropriate documentation as required by Section 3-85
of the Use Tax Act. A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
certification, accepted by a retailer prior to October 1, 2003 and on and after September 1, 2004 as provided
in
Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act, may be used by that retailer to
satisfy Retailers' Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in
the certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts
subject to tax from a qualifying purchase. A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
reported on any original or amended return
filed under
this Act after October 20, 2003 for reporting periods prior to September 1, 2004 shall be disallowed. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reported on annual returns due on or after January 1, 2005 will be disallowed for periods prior to September 1, 2004. No Manufacturer's

A Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit certification accepted by a retailer in accordance with this paragraph may be used by that retailer to satisfy Retailers' Occupation Tax liability (but not in satisfaction of penalty or interest) in the amount claimed in the certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to tax from a sale of aviation fuel. In addition, for a sale of aviation fuel to qualify to earn the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit, retailers must retain in their books and records a certification from the producer of the aviation fuel that the aviation fuel sold by the retailer and for which a sustainable aviation fuel purchase credit was earned meets the definition of sustainable aviation fuel under Section 3-87 of the Use Tax Act. The documentation must include detail sufficient for the Department to determine the number of gallons of sustainable aviation fuel sold.
The Department may require returns to be filed on a quarterly basis.
If so required, a return for each calendar quarter shall be filed on or
before the twentieth day of the calendar month following the end of such
calendar quarter. The taxpayer shall also file a return with the
Department for each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
before the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
1. The name of the seller;
2. The address of the principal place of business
| | from which he engages in the business of selling tangible personal property at retail in this State;

The requirements related to the return shall be as otherwise provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the contrary, retailers selling aviation fuel shall file all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all aviation fuel tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form required by the Department. For purposes of this Section, "aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation gasoline.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, any person who is not a licensed
distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer, as defined in the Liquor
Control Act of 1934, but is engaged in the business of
selling, at retail, alcoholic liquor
shall file a statement with the Department of Revenue, in a format
and at a time prescribed by the Department, showing the total amount paid for
alcoholic liquor purchased during the preceding month and such other
information as is reasonably required by the Department.
The Department may adopt rules to require
that this statement be filed in an electronic or telephonic format. Such rules
may provide for exceptions from the filing requirements of this paragraph. For
the
purposes of this
paragraph, the term "alcoholic liquor" shall have the meaning prescribed in the
Liquor Control Act of 1934.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, every distributor, importing distributor, and
manufacturer of alcoholic liquor as defined in the Liquor Control Act of 1934,
shall file a
statement with the Department of Revenue, no later than the 10th day of the
month for the
preceding month during which transactions occurred, by electronic means,
showing the
total amount of gross receipts from the sale of alcoholic liquor sold or
distributed during
the preceding month to purchasers; identifying the purchaser to whom it was
sold or
distributed; the purchaser's tax registration number; and such other
information
reasonably required by the Department. A distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer of alcoholic liquor must personally deliver, mail, or provide by electronic means to each retailer listed on the monthly statement a report containing a cumulative total of that distributor's, importing distributor's, or manufacturer's total sales of alcoholic liquor to that retailer no later than the 10th day of the month for the preceding month during which the transaction occurred. The distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer shall notify the retailer as to the method by which the distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer will provide the sales information. If the retailer is unable to receive the sales information by electronic means, the distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer shall furnish the sales information by personal delivery or by mail. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "electronic means" includes, but is not limited to, the use of a secure Internet website, e-mail, or facsimile.
If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable or creditable,
such amount shall be disregarded if it is less than 50 cents and shall be
increased to $1 if it is 50 cents or more.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, retailers subject to tax on cannabis shall file all cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form required by the Department.
Beginning October 1, 1993,
a taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall
make all payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer
who has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability
of $50,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of
$200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the sum of
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and local
occupation and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the immediately
preceding calendar year.
The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of the
taxpayer's liabilities under this
Act, and under all other State and local occupation and use tax
laws administered by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar
year divided by 12.
Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax liability in the
amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the Department of
Revenue Law shall make all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic funds transfer.
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the Department shall
notify all taxpayers required to make payments by electronic funds
transfer. All taxpayers
required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
payments for
a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic funds transfer may
make payments by electronic funds transfer with
the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds transfer and
any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make payments by electronic funds
transfer shall make those payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to effectuate a
program of electronic funds transfer and the requirements of this Section.
Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any return or
other document under this Act shall, if such amount is not a whole-dollar
amount, be increased to the nearest whole-dollar amount in any case where
the fractional part of a dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the
nearest whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is less
than 50 cents.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly return and if the
retailer's average monthly tax liability to the Department does not exceed
$200, the Department may authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter
annual basis, with the return for January, February and March of a given
year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May and
June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year; with the return for
July, August and September of a given year being due by October 20 of such
year, and with the return for October, November and December of a given
year being due by January 20 of the following year.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or quarterly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability with the
Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize his returns to
be filed on an annual basis, with the return for a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning the time
within which a retailer may file his return, in the case of any retailer
who ceases to engage in a kind of business which makes him responsible
for filing returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
return under this Act with the Department not more than one month after
discontinuing such business.
Where the same person has more than one business registered with the
Department under separate registrations under this Act, such person may
not file each return that is due as a single return covering all such
registered businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
registered business.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of
this State, except as otherwise provided in this Section, every
retailer selling this kind of tangible personal property shall file,
with the Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible personal
property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
trailers transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor
vehicle or trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale
or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a
purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of
this Act, then
that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form. For
purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a
personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the business of leasing or renting such items and who, in connection with such business, sells any such item to a retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form on or before the 20th of the month following the month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the Department.
Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of
this State, so that all
retailers' occupation tax liability is required to be reported, and is
reported, on such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required to
file returns on an annual basis.
The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor vehicles
or trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this
State, shall
be the same document as the Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402
of the Illinois Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the traded-in
tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of
this Act allows an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the
balance payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the total
selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the
retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is
not due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);
the place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of the
property sold; such other information as is required in Section 5-402 of
the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the Department
may reasonably require.
The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
or aircraft must show
the name and address of the seller; the name and address of the
purchaser; the amount of the selling price including the amount allowed
by the retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by
the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to
the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the
value of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of tax due
from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax
collected from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that particular
instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
information as the Department may reasonably require.
Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later than 20
days after the day of delivery of the item that is being sold, but may
be filed by the retailer at any time sooner than that if he chooses to
do so. The transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of
exemption from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department
by way of the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if titling or
registration is required) if the Department and such agency or State
officer determine that this procedure will expedite the processing of
applications for title or registration.
With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer shall remit
the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit satisfactory evidence that
the sale is not taxable if that is the case), to the Department or its
agents, whereupon the Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a
use tax receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with whom, he must
title or register the tangible personal property that is involved (if
titling or registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
registration to such tangible personal property.
No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this Act
precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the retailer, from
obtaining his certificate of title or other evidence of title or
registration (if titling or registration is required) upon satisfying
the Department that such user has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to
the retailer. The Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out
the mandate of this paragraph.
If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer wants the
transaction reporting return filed and the payment of the tax or proof
of exemption made to the Department before the retailer is willing to
take these actions and such user has not paid the tax to the retailer,
such user may certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
(upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such certification)
transmit the information required by the transaction reporting return
and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to the
Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption determination, in
which event the transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a
tax payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to the
proper retailer's account with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75%
discount provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same
amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax had
been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return period to
purchasers, on account of tangible personal property returned to the
seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly
or quarterly return, as the case may be, in case the
seller had theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had paid the tax
imposed by this Act with respect to such receipts.
Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on behalf of such
corporation shall be signed by the president, vice-president, secretary
or treasurer or by the properly accredited agent of such corporation.
Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return filed on behalf
of the limited liability company shall be signed by a manager, member, or
properly accredited agent of the limited liability company.
Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the return
under this Section shall, at the time of filing such return, pay to the
Department the amount of tax imposed by this Act less a discount of 2.1%
prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per
calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
reimburse the retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to
the Department on request. On and after January 1, 2021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer using a certified service provider to file a return on its behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount. When determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700. When determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 6.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday items under Public Act 102-700. The discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2d
of this Act shall be included in the amount on which such
2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of retailers who report
and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance
instead of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become final.
Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability
to the Department
under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales
tax to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
$10,000
or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a
return with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month next
following the month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability
to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax
to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more
during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with
the Department each month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make payment to the
Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
which such liability is incurred.
If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985,
each payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
liability for the month or an amount set by the Department not to exceed
1/4 of the average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department for
the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
month of the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January 1, 1996, each
payment shall be in an amount
equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of
the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against
the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month. Before
October 1, 2000, once
applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to
the Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of
$10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
shall continue
until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
$9,000, or until
such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
is less than $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
Department that
a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes
the taxpayer to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000 threshold
stated above, then
such taxpayer
may petition the Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting
status. On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by taxpayers having an
average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or more as determined in the manner
provided above shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding
the month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
$19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter
period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department
that a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes
the taxpayer to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such taxpayer's
reporting status
unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 had not occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for
penalties and interest on the difference
between the minimum amount due as a payment and the amount of such quarter
monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the Department in
excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the
quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1, 2001.
Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make quarter monthly
payments as specified above, any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d
of this Act to collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
taxes which average in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding
2 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the Department on or before
the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability
is incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
began prior to September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221), each
payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
liability under Section 2d. If the month during which such tax liability
is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax liability is
incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be
credited against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that
month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to
the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until such
taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2
complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly
payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
shall be liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
excess of the minimum payments previously due.
The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October 1, 2001.
Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make quarter monthly
payments as specified above, any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this
Act to collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that
average in excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters shall file a return with the Department as required by Section 2f
and shall make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
last day of the month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments shall be credited
against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department
pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly
prepaid tax collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is
less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
calendar quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is
not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable
for penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer
has previously made payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
previously due.
If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as shown on an original
monthly return, the Department shall, if requested by the taxpayer, issue to
the taxpayer a credit memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of
payment. The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may
be assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be prescribed by the
Department. If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess
payment against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department
under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations
prescribed by the Department. If the Department subsequently determined
that all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
on such difference.
If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under Section 2d of
this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability to the Department under
this Act for the month for which the taxpayer is filing a return, the
Department shall issue the taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

in such month from the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois
Bond Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the Build
Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency shall be immediately
paid from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts

Build Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the first sentence
of this paragraph and shall reduce the amount otherwise payable for such
fiscal year pursuant to that clause (b). The moneys received by the
Department pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the Build
Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and charge set forth in
Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond Act.

additional reasonable information which the Department deems would be
helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly or annual
returns filed by such retailer as provided for in this Section.
If the annual information return required by this Section is not
filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable as follows:
(i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
| | liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be covered by the annual return for each month or fraction of a month until such return is filed as required, the penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
|
| (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
| | be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
|
| The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest ranking
manager shall sign the annual return to certify the accuracy of the
information contained therein. Any person who willfully signs the
annual return containing false or inaccurate information shall be guilty
of perjury and punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed
by the Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
return may be liable for perjury.
The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an annual
information return do not apply to a retailer who is not required to
file an income tax return with the United States Government.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon certification
of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred and
the Treasurer shall transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor
Fuel Tax Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized
under this Act for the second preceding
month.
Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
and shall not be made.
Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue collected by the
State pursuant to this Act, less the amount paid out during that month as
refunds to taxpayers for overpayment of liability.
For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers, importers
and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in Illinois by
numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may assume the responsibility
for accounting and paying to the Department all tax accruing under this
Act with respect to such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not
make written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail selling space for
concessionaires or other types of sellers at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin
State Fair, county fairs, local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar
exhibitions or events, including any transient merchant as defined by Section 2
of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required to file a report with the
Department providing the name of the merchant's business, the name of the
person or persons engaged in merchant's business, the permanent address and
Illinois Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the merchant, the
dates and location of the event and other reasonable information that the
Department may require. The report must be filed not later than the 20th day
of the month next following the month during which the event with retail sales
was held. Any person who fails to file a report required by this Section
commits a business offense and is subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
property at retail as a concessionaire or other type of seller at the
Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar
exhibitions or events, or any transient merchants, as defined by Section 2
of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
of the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily payment of
the full amount of tax due. The Department shall impose this
requirement when it finds that there is a significant risk of loss of
revenue to the State at such an exhibition or event. Such a finding
shall be based on evidence that a substantial number of concessionaires
or other sellers who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in
the business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of loss of revenue
to the State. The Department shall notify concessionaires and other sellers
affected by the imposition of this requirement. In the absence of
notification by the Department, the concessionaires and other sellers
shall file their returns as otherwise required in this Section.

Retailers who demonstrate that they do not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the electronic filing requirement.
If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after the proper notice
and demand for signature by the Department, the return shall be considered
valid and any amount shown to be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
Each return shall be accompanied by the statement of prepaid tax issued

Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1, 2004 a retailer may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit
certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax
as provided in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the purchaser provides the
appropriate documentation as required by Section 3-85
of the Use Tax Act. A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit

satisfy any
tax liability imposed under this Act, including any audit liability.
The Department may require returns to be filed on a quarterly basis.
If so required, a return for each calendar quarter shall be filed on or
before the twentieth day of the calendar month following the end of such
calendar quarter. The taxpayer shall also file a return with the
Department for each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
before the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
1. The name of the seller;
2. The address of the principal place of business

| | Every person engaged in the business of selling aviation fuel at retail in this State during the preceding calendar month shall, instead of reporting and paying tax as otherwise required by this Section, report and pay such tax on a separate aviation fuel tax return. The requirements related to the return shall be as otherwise provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the contrary, retailers selling aviation fuel shall file all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all aviation fuel tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form required by the Department. For purposes of this Section, "aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation gasoline.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, any person who is not a licensed
distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer, as defined in the Liquor
Control Act of 1934, but is engaged in the business of
selling, at retail, alcoholic liquor
shall file a statement with the Department of Revenue, in a format
and at a time prescribed by the Department, showing the total amount paid for
alcoholic liquor purchased during the preceding month and such other
information as is reasonably required by the Department.
The Department may adopt rules to require
that this statement be filed in an electronic or telephonic format. Such rules
may provide for exceptions from the filing requirements of this paragraph. For
the
purposes of this
paragraph, the term "alcoholic liquor" shall have the meaning prescribed in the
Liquor Control Act of 1934.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, every distributor, importing distributor, and
manufacturer of alcoholic liquor as defined in the Liquor Control Act of 1934,
shall file a
statement with the Department of Revenue, no later than the 10th day of the
month for the
preceding month during which transactions occurred, by electronic means,
showing the
total amount of gross receipts from the sale of alcoholic liquor sold or
distributed during
the preceding month to purchasers; identifying the purchaser to whom it was
sold or
distributed; the purchaser's tax registration number; and such other
information
reasonably required by the Department. A distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer of alcoholic liquor must personally deliver, mail, or provide by electronic means to each retailer listed on the monthly statement a report containing a cumulative total of that distributor's, importing distributor's, or manufacturer's total sales of alcoholic liquor to that retailer no later than the 10th day of the month for the preceding month during which the transaction occurred. The distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer shall notify the retailer as to the method by which the distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer will provide the sales information. If the retailer is unable to receive the sales information by electronic means, the distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer shall furnish the sales information by personal delivery or by mail. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "electronic means" includes, but is not limited to, the use of a secure Internet website, e-mail, or facsimile.
If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable or creditable,
such amount shall be disregarded if it is less than 50 cents and shall be
increased to $1 if it is 50 cents or more.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, retailers subject to tax on cannabis shall file all cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form required by the Department.
Beginning October 1, 1993,
a taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall
make all payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer
who has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability
of $50,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of
$200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the sum of
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and local
occupation and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the immediately
preceding calendar year.
The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of the
taxpayer's liabilities under this
Act, and under all other State and local occupation and use tax
laws administered by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar
year divided by 12.
Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax liability in the
amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the Department of
Revenue Law shall make all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic funds transfer.
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the Department shall
notify all taxpayers required to make payments by electronic funds
transfer. All taxpayers
required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
payments for
a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic funds transfer may
make payments by electronic funds transfer with
the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds transfer and
any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make payments by electronic funds
transfer shall make those payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to effectuate a
program of electronic funds transfer and the requirements of this Section.
Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any return or
other document under this Act shall, if such amount is not a whole-dollar
amount, be increased to the nearest whole-dollar amount in any case where
the fractional part of a dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the
nearest whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is less
than 50 cents.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly return and if the
retailer's average monthly tax liability to the Department does not exceed
$200, the Department may authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter
annual basis, with the return for January, February and March of a given
year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May and
June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year; with the return for
July, August and September of a given year being due by October 20 of such
year, and with the return for October, November and December of a given
year being due by January 20 of the following year.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or quarterly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability with the
Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize his returns to
be filed on an annual basis, with the return for a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning the time
within which a retailer may file his return, in the case of any retailer
who ceases to engage in a kind of business which makes him responsible
for filing returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
return under this Act with the Department not more than one month after
discontinuing such business.
Where the same person has more than one business registered with the
Department under separate registrations under this Act, such person may
not file each return that is due as a single return covering all such
registered businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
registered business.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of
this State, except as otherwise provided in this Section, every
retailer selling this kind of tangible personal property shall file,
with the Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible personal
property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
trailers transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor
vehicle or trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale
or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a
purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of
this Act, then
that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form. For
purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a
personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the business of leasing or renting such items and who, in connection with such business, sells any such item to a retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form on or before the 20th of the month following the month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the Department.
Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of
this State, so that all
retailers' occupation tax liability is required to be reported, and is
reported, on such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required to
file returns on an annual basis.
The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor vehicles
or trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this
State, shall
be the same document as the Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402
of the Illinois Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the traded-in
tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of
this Act allows an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the
balance payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the total
selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the
retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is
not due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);
the place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of the
property sold; such other information as is required in Section 5-402 of
the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the Department
may reasonably require.
The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
or aircraft must show
the name and address of the seller; the name and address of the
purchaser; the amount of the selling price including the amount allowed
by the retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by
the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to
the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the
value of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of tax due
from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax
collected from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that particular
instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
information as the Department may reasonably require.
Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later than 20
days after the day of delivery of the item that is being sold, but may
be filed by the retailer at any time sooner than that if he chooses to
do so. The transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of
exemption from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department
by way of the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if titling or
registration is required) if the Department and such agency or State
officer determine that this procedure will expedite the processing of
applications for title or registration.
With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer shall remit
the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit satisfactory evidence that
the sale is not taxable if that is the case), to the Department or its
agents, whereupon the Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a
use tax receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with whom, he must
title or register the tangible personal property that is involved (if
titling or registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
registration to such tangible personal property.
No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this Act
precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the retailer, from
obtaining his certificate of title or other evidence of title or
registration (if titling or registration is required) upon satisfying
the Department that such user has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to
the retailer. The Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out
the mandate of this paragraph.
If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer wants the
transaction reporting return filed and the payment of the tax or proof
of exemption made to the Department before the retailer is willing to
take these actions and such user has not paid the tax to the retailer,
such user may certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
(upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such certification)
transmit the information required by the transaction reporting return
and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to the
Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption determination, in
which event the transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a
tax payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to the
proper retailer's account with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75%
discount provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same
amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax had
been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return period to
purchasers, on account of tangible personal property returned to the
seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly
or quarterly return, as the case may be, in case the
seller had theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had paid the tax
imposed by this Act with respect to such receipts.
Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on behalf of such
corporation shall be signed by the president, vice-president, secretary
or treasurer or by the properly accredited agent of such corporation.
Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return filed on behalf
of the limited liability company shall be signed by a manager, member, or
properly accredited agent of the limited liability company.
Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the return
under this Section shall, at the time of filing such return, pay to the
Department the amount of tax imposed by this Act less a discount of 2.1%
prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per
calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
reimburse the retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to
the Department on request. On and after January 1, 2021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer using a certified service provider to file a return on its behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount. When determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700. When determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 6.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday items under Public Act 102-700. The discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2d
of this Act shall be included in the amount on which such
2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of retailers who report
and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance
instead of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become final.
Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability
to the Department
under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales
tax to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
$10,000
or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a
return with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month next
following the month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability
to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax
to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more
during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with
the Department each month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make payment to the
Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
which such liability is incurred.
If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985,
each payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
liability for the month or an amount set by the Department not to exceed
1/4 of the average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department for
the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
month of the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January 1, 1996, each
payment shall be in an amount
equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of
the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against
the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month. Before
October 1, 2000, once
applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to
the Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of
$10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
shall continue
until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
$9,000, or until
such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
is less than $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
Department that
a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes
the taxpayer to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000 threshold
stated above, then
such taxpayer
may petition the Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting
status. On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by taxpayers having an
average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or more as determined in the manner
provided above shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding
the month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
$19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter
period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department
that a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes
the taxpayer to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such taxpayer's
reporting status
unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 had not occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for
penalties and interest on the difference
between the minimum amount due as a payment and the amount of such quarter
monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the Department in
excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the
quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1, 2001.
Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make quarter monthly
payments as specified above, any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d
of this Act to collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
taxes which average in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding
2 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the Department on or before
the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability
is incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
began prior to September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221), each
payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
liability under Section 2d. If the month during which such tax liability
is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax liability is
incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be
credited against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that
month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to
the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until such
taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2
complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly
payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
shall be liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
excess of the minimum payments previously due.
The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October 1, 2001.
Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make quarter monthly
payments as specified above, any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this
Act to collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that
average in excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters shall file a return with the Department as required by Section 2f
and shall make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
last day of the month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments shall be credited
against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department
pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly
prepaid tax collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is
less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
calendar quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is
not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable
for penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer
has previously made payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
previously due.
If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as shown on an original
monthly return, the Department shall, if requested by the taxpayer, issue to
the taxpayer a credit memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of
payment. The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may
be assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be prescribed by the
Department. If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess
payment against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department
under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations
prescribed by the Department. If the Department subsequently determined
that all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
on such difference.
If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under Section 2d of
this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability to the Department under
this Act for the month for which the taxpayer is filing a return, the
Department shall issue the taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

is hereby created, the net revenue realized for the preceding month from
the 1% tax imposed under this Act.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall pay into
the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a special fund in the State
treasury which is hereby created, 4% of the net revenue realized

Beginning August 1, 2000, each
month the Department shall pay into the
County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the
preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and
gasohol. If, in any month, the tax on sales tax holiday items, as defined in Section 2-8, is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the Department shall pay 20% of the net revenue realized for that month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of sales tax holiday items into the County and Mass Transit District Fund.

For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of aviation fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation fuel under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund. The Department shall only pay moneys into the State Aviation Program Fund and the Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund under this Act for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
Beginning August 1, 2000, each
month the Department shall pay into the

month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.

Beginning October 1, 2009, each month the Department shall pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that are now taxed at 6.25%.

Beginning July 1, 2013, each month the Department shall pay into the Underground Storage Tank Fund from the proceeds collected under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act an amount equal to the average monthly deficit in the Underground Storage Tank Fund during the prior year, as certified annually by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, but the total payment into the Underground Storage Tank Fund under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed $18,000,000 in any State fiscal year. As used in this paragraph, the "average monthly deficit" shall be equal to the difference between the average monthly claims for payment by the fund and the average monthly revenues deposited into the fund, excluding payments made pursuant to this paragraph.
Beginning July 1, 2015, of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department under the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and this Act, each month the Department shall deposit $500,000 into the State Crime Laboratory Fund.
Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department pursuant

Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on and after July 1, 1989,
3.8% thereof shall be paid into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however,
that if in any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as
the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required to
be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this Act, Section 9 of the
Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the
Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called the "Tax
Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys
being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount
transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax

| Fiscal Year | Annual Specified Amount | 1986 | $54,800,000 | 1987 | $76,650,000 | 1988 | $80,480,000 | 1989 | $88,510,000 | 1990 | $115,330,000 | 1991 | $145,470,000 | 1992 | $182,730,000 | 1993 | $206,520,000; |
| and means the Certified Annual Debt Service Requirement (as defined in
Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act) or the Tax Act Amount, whichever
is greater, for fiscal year 1994 and each fiscal year thereafter; and
further provided, that if on the last business day of any month the sum of
(1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into the Build Illinois
Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the
amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local
Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the Annual
Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the

event shall the payments required under the preceding proviso result in
aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause (b)
for any fiscal year in excess of the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or
(ii) the Annual Specified Amount for such fiscal year. The amounts payable
into the Build Illinois Fund under clause (b) of the first sentence in this
paragraph shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount on
deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued and outstanding
pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking into account
any future investment income, to fully provide, in accordance with such
indenture, for the defeasance of or the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and on
any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable
with respect thereto, all as certified by the Director of the Bureau of the

Fund in such month shall be less than the amount required to be transferred
in such month from the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois
Bond Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the Build
Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency shall be immediately
paid from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts
to the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the
Build Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the first sentence
of this paragraph and shall reduce the amount otherwise payable for such
fiscal year pursuant to that clause (b). The moneys received by the
Department pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the Build
Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and charge set forth in
Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond Act.
Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund as provided in

Beginning July 1, 2022 and until July 1, 2023, subject to the payment of amounts into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, the Local Government Tax Fund, the Build Illinois Fund, the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund, the Illinois Tax Increment Fund, the Energy Infrastructure Fund, and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund as provided in this Section, the Department shall pay each month into the Road Fund the amount estimated to represent 32% of the net revenue realized from the taxes imposed on motor fuel and gasohol.

As used in this paragraph "motor fuel" has the meaning given to that term in Section 1.1 of the Motor Fuel Tax Law, and "gasohol" has the meaning given to that term in Section 3-40 of the Use Tax Act.
Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department pursuant to
this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the State treasury and 25% shall
be reserved in a special account and used only for the transfer to the
Common School Fund as part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue
Fund in accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
The Department may, upon separate written notice to a taxpayer,
require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the Department on a form
prescribed by the Department within not less than 60 days after receipt
of the notice an annual information return for the tax year specified in
the notice. Such annual return to the Department shall include a
statement of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last Federal income
tax return. If the total receipts of the business as reported in the
Federal income tax return do not agree with the gross receipts reported to
the Department of Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach
to his annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
amounts and the reasons for the difference. The retailer's annual
return to the Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by
the retailer during the year covered by such return, opening and closing
inventories of such goods for such year, costs of goods used from stock
or taken from stock and given away by the retailer during such year,
payroll information of the retailer's business during such year and any
additional reasonable information which the Department deems would be
helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly or annual
returns filed by such retailer as provided for in this Section.
If the annual information return required by this Section is not
filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable as follows:
(i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
| | liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be covered by the annual return for each month or fraction of a month until such return is filed as required, the penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
|
| (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
| | be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
|
| The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest ranking
manager shall sign the annual return to certify the accuracy of the
information contained therein. Any person who willfully signs the
annual return containing false or inaccurate information shall be guilty
of perjury and punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed
by the Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
return may be liable for perjury.
The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an annual
information return do not apply to a retailer who is not required to
file an income tax return with the United States Government.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon certification
of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred and
the Treasurer shall transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor
Fuel Tax Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized
under this Act for the second preceding
month.
Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
and shall not be made.
Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue collected by the
State pursuant to this Act, less the amount paid out during that month as
refunds to taxpayers for overpayment of liability.
For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers, importers
and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in Illinois by
numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may assume the responsibility
for accounting and paying to the Department all tax accruing under this
Act with respect to such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not
make written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail selling space for
concessionaires or other types of sellers at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin
State Fair, county fairs, local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar
exhibitions or events, including any transient merchant as defined by Section 2
of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required to file a report with the
Department providing the name of the merchant's business, the name of the
person or persons engaged in merchant's business, the permanent address and
Illinois Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the merchant, the
dates and location of the event and other reasonable information that the
Department may require. The report must be filed not later than the 20th day
of the month next following the month during which the event with retail sales
was held. Any person who fails to file a report required by this Section
commits a business offense and is subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
property at retail as a concessionaire or other type of seller at the
Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar
exhibitions or events, or any transient merchants, as defined by Section 2
of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
of the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily payment of
the full amount of tax due. The Department shall impose this
requirement when it finds that there is a significant risk of loss of
revenue to the State at such an exhibition or event. Such a finding
shall be based on evidence that a substantial number of concessionaires
or other sellers who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in
the business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of loss of revenue
to the State. The Department shall notify concessionaires and other sellers
affected by the imposition of this requirement. In the absence of
notification by the Department, the concessionaires and other sellers
shall file their returns as otherwise required in this Section.

On and after January 1, 2023, with respect to retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act, including, but not limited to, returns for motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this State, shall be filed electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the electronic filing requirement.
If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after the proper notice
and demand for signature by the Department, the return shall be considered
valid and any amount shown to be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
Each return shall be accompanied by the statement of prepaid tax issued

Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1, 2004 a retailer may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit
certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax
as provided in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the purchaser provides the
appropriate documentation as required by Section 3-85
of the Use Tax Act. A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit

in
Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act, may be used by that retailer to

Purchase Credit may be used after September 30, 2003 through August 31, 2004 to
satisfy any
tax liability imposed under this Act, including any audit liability.
The Department may require returns to be filed on a quarterly basis.
If so required, a return for each calendar quarter shall be filed on or
before the twentieth day of the calendar month following the end of such
calendar quarter. The taxpayer shall also file a return with the
Department for each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
before the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:

| | Every person engaged in the business of selling aviation fuel at retail in this State during the preceding calendar month shall, instead of reporting and paying tax as otherwise required by this Section, report and pay such tax on a separate aviation fuel tax return. The requirements related to the return shall be as otherwise provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the contrary, retailers selling aviation fuel shall file all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all aviation fuel tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form required by the Department. For purposes of this Section, "aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation gasoline.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, any person who is not a licensed
distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer, as defined in the Liquor
Control Act of 1934, but is engaged in the business of
selling, at retail, alcoholic liquor
shall file a statement with the Department of Revenue, in a format
and at a time prescribed by the Department, showing the total amount paid for
alcoholic liquor purchased during the preceding month and such other
information as is reasonably required by the Department.
The Department may adopt rules to require
that this statement be filed in an electronic or telephonic format. Such rules
may provide for exceptions from the filing requirements of this paragraph. For
the
purposes of this
paragraph, the term "alcoholic liquor" shall have the meaning prescribed in the
Liquor Control Act of 1934.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, every distributor, importing distributor, and
manufacturer of alcoholic liquor as defined in the Liquor Control Act of 1934,
shall file a
statement with the Department of Revenue, no later than the 10th day of the
month for the
preceding month during which transactions occurred, by electronic means,
showing the
total amount of gross receipts from the sale of alcoholic liquor sold or
distributed during
the preceding month to purchasers; identifying the purchaser to whom it was
sold or
distributed; the purchaser's tax registration number; and such other
information
reasonably required by the Department. A distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer of alcoholic liquor must personally deliver, mail, or provide by electronic means to each retailer listed on the monthly statement a report containing a cumulative total of that distributor's, importing distributor's, or manufacturer's total sales of alcoholic liquor to that retailer no later than the 10th day of the month for the preceding month during which the transaction occurred. The distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer shall notify the retailer as to the method by which the distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer will provide the sales information. If the retailer is unable to receive the sales information by electronic means, the distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer shall furnish the sales information by personal delivery or by mail. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "electronic means" includes, but is not limited to, the use of a secure Internet website, e-mail, or facsimile.
If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable or creditable,
such amount shall be disregarded if it is less than 50 cents and shall be
increased to $1 if it is 50 cents or more.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, retailers subject to tax on cannabis shall file all cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form required by the Department.
Beginning October 1, 1993,
a taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall
make all payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer
who has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability
of $50,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of
$200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the sum of
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and local
occupation and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the immediately
preceding calendar year.
The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of the
taxpayer's liabilities under this
Act, and under all other State and local occupation and use tax
laws administered by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar
year divided by 12.
Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax liability in the
amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the Department of
Revenue Law shall make all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic funds transfer.
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the Department shall
notify all taxpayers required to make payments by electronic funds
transfer. All taxpayers
required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
payments for
a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic funds transfer may
make payments by electronic funds transfer with
the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds transfer and
any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make payments by electronic funds
transfer shall make those payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to effectuate a
program of electronic funds transfer and the requirements of this Section.
Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any return or
other document under this Act shall, if such amount is not a whole-dollar
amount, be increased to the nearest whole-dollar amount in any case where
the fractional part of a dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the
nearest whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is less
than 50 cents.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly return and if the
retailer's average monthly tax liability to the Department does not exceed
$200, the Department may authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter
annual basis, with the return for January, February and March of a given
year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May and
June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year; with the return for
July, August and September of a given year being due by October 20 of such
year, and with the return for October, November and December of a given
year being due by January 20 of the following year.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or quarterly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability with the
Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize his returns to
be filed on an annual basis, with the return for a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning the time
within which a retailer may file his return, in the case of any retailer
who ceases to engage in a kind of business which makes him responsible
for filing returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
return under this Act with the Department not more than one month after
discontinuing such business.
Where the same person has more than one business registered with the
Department under separate registrations under this Act, such person may
not file each return that is due as a single return covering all such
registered businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
registered business.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of
this State, except as otherwise provided in this Section, every
retailer selling this kind of tangible personal property shall file,
with the Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible personal
property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
trailers transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor
vehicle or trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale
or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a
purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of
this Act, then
that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form. For
purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a
personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the business of leasing or renting such items and who, in connection with such business, sells any such item to a retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form on or before the 20th of the month following the month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the Department.
Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of
this State, so that all
retailers' occupation tax liability is required to be reported, and is
reported, on such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required to
file returns on an annual basis.
The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor vehicles
or trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this
State, shall
be the same document as the Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402
of the Illinois Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the traded-in
tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of
this Act allows an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the
balance payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the total
selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the
retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is
not due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);
the place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of the
property sold; such other information as is required in Section 5-402 of
the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the Department
may reasonably require.
The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
or aircraft must show
the name and address of the seller; the name and address of the
purchaser; the amount of the selling price including the amount allowed
by the retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by
the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to
the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the
value of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of tax due
from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax
collected from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that particular
instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
information as the Department may reasonably require.
Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later than 20
days after the day of delivery of the item that is being sold, but may
be filed by the retailer at any time sooner than that if he chooses to
do so. The transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of
exemption from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department
by way of the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if titling or
registration is required) if the Department and such agency or State
officer determine that this procedure will expedite the processing of
applications for title or registration.
With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer shall remit
the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit satisfactory evidence that
the sale is not taxable if that is the case), to the Department or its
agents, whereupon the Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a
use tax receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with whom, he must
title or register the tangible personal property that is involved (if
titling or registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
registration to such tangible personal property.
No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this Act
precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the retailer, from
obtaining his certificate of title or other evidence of title or
registration (if titling or registration is required) upon satisfying
the Department that such user has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to
the retailer. The Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out
the mandate of this paragraph.
If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer wants the
transaction reporting return filed and the payment of the tax or proof
of exemption made to the Department before the retailer is willing to
take these actions and such user has not paid the tax to the retailer,
such user may certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
(upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such certification)
transmit the information required by the transaction reporting return
and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to the
Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption determination, in
which event the transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a
tax payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to the
proper retailer's account with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75%
discount provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same
amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax had
been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return period to
purchasers, on account of tangible personal property returned to the
seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly
or quarterly return, as the case may be, in case the
seller had theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had paid the tax
imposed by this Act with respect to such receipts.
Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on behalf of such
corporation shall be signed by the president, vice-president, secretary
or treasurer or by the properly accredited agent of such corporation.
Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return filed on behalf
of the limited liability company shall be signed by a manager, member, or
properly accredited agent of the limited liability company.
Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the return
under this Section shall, at the time of filing such return, pay to the
Department the amount of tax imposed by this Act less a discount of 2.1%
prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per
calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
reimburse the retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to
the Department on request. On and after January 1, 2021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer using a certified service provider to file a return on its behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount. When determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700. When determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 6.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday items under Public Act 102-700. The discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2d
of this Act shall be included in the amount on which such
2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of retailers who report
and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance
instead of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become final.
Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability
to the Department
under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales
tax to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
$10,000
or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a
return with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month next
following the month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability
to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax
to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more
during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with
the Department each month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make payment to the
Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
which such liability is incurred.
If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985,
each payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
liability for the month or an amount set by the Department not to exceed
1/4 of the average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department for
the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
month of the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January 1, 1996, each
payment shall be in an amount
equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of
the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against
the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month. Before
October 1, 2000, once
applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to
the Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of
$10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
shall continue
until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
$9,000, or until
such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
is less than $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
Department that
a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes
the taxpayer to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000 threshold
stated above, then
such taxpayer
may petition the Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting
status. On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by taxpayers having an
average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or more as determined in the manner
provided above shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding
the month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
$19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter
period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department
that a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes
the taxpayer to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such taxpayer's
reporting status
unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 had not occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for
penalties and interest on the difference
between the minimum amount due as a payment and the amount of such quarter
monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the Department in
excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the
quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1, 2001.
Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make quarter monthly
payments as specified above, any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d
of this Act to collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
taxes which average in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding
2 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the Department on or before
the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability
is incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
began prior to September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221), each
payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
liability under Section 2d. If the month during which such tax liability
is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax liability is
incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be
credited against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that
month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to
the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until such
taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2
complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly
payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
shall be liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
excess of the minimum payments previously due.
The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October 1, 2001.
Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make quarter monthly
payments as specified above, any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this
Act to collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that
average in excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters shall file a return with the Department as required by Section 2f
and shall make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
last day of the month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments shall be credited
against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department
pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly
prepaid tax collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is
less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
calendar quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is
not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable
for penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer
has previously made payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
previously due.
If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as shown on an original
monthly return, the Department shall, if requested by the taxpayer, issue to
the taxpayer a credit memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of
payment. The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may
be assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be prescribed by the
Department. If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess
payment against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department
under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations
prescribed by the Department. If the Department subsequently determined
that all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
on such difference.
If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under Section 2d of
this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability to the Department under
this Act for the month for which the taxpayer is filing a return, the
Department shall issue the taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall pay into
the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the State treasury which

the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a special fund in the State

Beginning August 1, 2000, each
month the Department shall pay into the

For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of aviation fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation fuel under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund. The Department shall only pay moneys into the State Aviation Program Fund and the Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund under this Act for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.

month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.

Beginning October 1, 2009, each month the Department shall pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that are now taxed at 6.25%.

As used in this paragraph, the "average monthly deficit" shall be equal to the difference between the average monthly claims for payment by the fund and the average monthly revenues deposited into the fund, excluding payments made pursuant to this paragraph.

the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required to
be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this Act, Section 9 of the
Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the

| and means the Certified Annual Debt Service Requirement (as defined in
Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act) or the Tax Act Amount, whichever
is greater, for fiscal year 1994 and each fiscal year thereafter; and
further provided, that if on the last business day of any month the sum of
(1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into the Build Illinois
Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the
amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local
Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the Annual

event shall the payments required under the preceding proviso result in
aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause (b)
for any fiscal year in excess of the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or
(ii) the Annual Specified Amount for such fiscal year. The amounts payable
into the Build Illinois Fund under clause (b) of the first sentence in this
paragraph shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount on
deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued and outstanding
pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking into account
any future investment income, to fully provide, in accordance with such
indenture, for the defeasance of or the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and on
any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable
with respect thereto, all as certified by the Director of the Bureau of the

Fund in such month shall be less than the amount required to be transferred
in such month from the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois
Bond Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the Build
Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency shall be immediately
paid from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts
to the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the
Build Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the first sentence
of this paragraph and shall reduce the amount otherwise payable for such
fiscal year pursuant to that clause (b). The moneys received by the
Department pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the Build
Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and charge set forth in
Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond Act.
Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund as provided in

in excess of the amount specified above as "Total Deposit", has been deposited.

As used in this paragraph "motor fuel" has the meaning given to that term in Section 1.1 of the Motor Fuel Tax Law, and "gasohol" has the meaning given to that term in Section 3-40 of the Use Tax Act.
Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department pursuant to
this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the State treasury and 25% shall
be reserved in a special account and used only for the transfer to the
Common School Fund as part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue
Fund in accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
The Department may, upon separate written notice to a taxpayer,
require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the Department on a form
prescribed by the Department within not less than 60 days after receipt
of the notice an annual information return for the tax year specified in
the notice. Such annual return to the Department shall include a
statement of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last Federal income
tax return. If the total receipts of the business as reported in the
Federal income tax return do not agree with the gross receipts reported to
the Department of Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach
to his annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
amounts and the reasons for the difference. The retailer's annual
return to the Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by
the retailer during the year covered by such return, opening and closing
inventories of such goods for such year, costs of goods used from stock
or taken from stock and given away by the retailer during such year,
payroll information of the retailer's business during such year and any
additional reasonable information which the Department deems would be
helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly or annual
returns filed by such retailer as provided for in this Section.
If the annual information return required by this Section is not
filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable as follows:
(i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
| | liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be covered by the annual return for each month or fraction of a month until such return is filed as required, the penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
|
| (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
| | be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
|
| The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest ranking
manager shall sign the annual return to certify the accuracy of the
information contained therein. Any person who willfully signs the
annual return containing false or inaccurate information shall be guilty
of perjury and punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed
by the Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
return may be liable for perjury.
The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an annual
information return do not apply to a retailer who is not required to
file an income tax return with the United States Government.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon certification
of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred and
the Treasurer shall transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor
Fuel Tax Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized
under this Act for the second preceding
month.
Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
and shall not be made.
Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue collected by the
State pursuant to this Act, less the amount paid out during that month as
refunds to taxpayers for overpayment of liability.
For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers, importers
and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in Illinois by
numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may assume the responsibility
for accounting and paying to the Department all tax accruing under this
Act with respect to such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not
make written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail selling space for
concessionaires or other types of sellers at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin
State Fair, county fairs, local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar
exhibitions or events, including any transient merchant as defined by Section 2
of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required to file a report with the
Department providing the name of the merchant's business, the name of the
person or persons engaged in merchant's business, the permanent address and
Illinois Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the merchant, the
dates and location of the event and other reasonable information that the
Department may require. The report must be filed not later than the 20th day
of the month next following the month during which the event with retail sales
was held. Any person who fails to file a report required by this Section
commits a business offense and is subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
property at retail as a concessionaire or other type of seller at the
Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar
exhibitions or events, or any transient merchants, as defined by Section 2
of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
of the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily payment of
the full amount of tax due. The Department shall impose this
requirement when it finds that there is a significant risk of loss of
revenue to the State at such an exhibition or event. Such a finding
shall be based on evidence that a substantial number of concessionaires
or other sellers who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in
the business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of loss of revenue
to the State. The Department shall notify concessionaires and other sellers
affected by the imposition of this requirement. In the absence of
notification by the Department, the concessionaires and other sellers
shall file their returns as otherwise required in this Section.
