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

35 ILCS 185/5-5 (35 ILCS 185/5-5)
Sec. 5-5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that certified service providers and certified automated systems simplify use and occupation tax compliance for remote retailers, which fosters higher levels of accurate tax collection and remittance and generates administrative savings and new marginal tax revenue for both State and local taxing jurisdictions. By making the services of certified service providers and certified automated systems available to remote retailers as provided in this Act, the State will substantially eliminate the burden on those remote retailers to collect and remit both State and local taxing jurisdiction use and occupation taxes. While providing a means for remote retailers to collect and remit tax on an even basis with Illinois retailers, this Act also protects existing local tax revenue streams by retaining origin sourcing for all transactions by retailers maintaining a physical presence in Illinois.

35 ILCS 185/5-25 (35 ILCS 185/5-25)
Sec. 5-25. Certification. (a) The Department shall, no later than July 1, 2020: (1) establish uniform minimum standards that | | companies wishing to be designated as a certified service provider in this State must meet;
|
| (2) establish uniform minimum standards that
| | certified automated systems must meet;
|
| (3) establish a certification process to review the
| | systems of companies wishing to be designated as a certified service provider in this State or of companies wishing to use a certified automated process; this certification process shall provide that companies that meet all required standards and whose systems have been tested and approved by the Department for properly determining the taxability of items to be sold, the correct tax rate to apply to a transaction, and the appropriate jurisdictions to which the tax shall be remitted, shall be certified;
|
| (4) enter into a contractual relationship with each
| | company that qualifies as a certified service provider; those contracts shall, at a minimum, provide:
|
| (A) that the certified service provider shall be
| | held liable for the tax imposed under this Act and the Use Tax Act and all applicable local occupation taxes administered by the Department if the certified service provider fails to correctly remit the tax after having been provided with the tax and information by a remote retailer to correctly remit the taxes imposed under this Act and the Use Tax Act and all applicable local occupation taxes administered by the Department; if the certified service provider demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Department that its failure to correctly remit tax on a retail sale resulted from the certified service provider's good faith reliance on incorrect or insufficient information provided by the remote retailer, the certified service provider shall be relieved of liability for the tax on that retail sale; in that case, the remote retailer is liable for any resulting tax due;
|
| (B) the responsibilities of the certified service
| | provider and the remote retailers that contract with the certified service provider related to record keeping and auditing consistent with requirements imposed under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Use Tax Act;
|
| (C) for the protection and confidentiality of tax
| | information consistent with requirements imposed under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Use Tax Act;
|
| (D) that a certified service provider may claim
| | the discount provided for in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act for the tax dollars it collects and timely remits on returns that are timely filed with the Department on behalf of remote retailers; remote retailers using a certified service provider may not claim the discount allowed in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act with respect to those collections; and
|
| (E) that the certified service provider shall
| | file a separate return for each remote retailer with which it has a Tax Remittance Agreement.
|
| The provisions of this Section shall supersede the provisions of the Illinois Procurement Code.
(b) The Department may act jointly with other states to establish the minimum standards and process for certification required by paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (a).
(c) When the systems of a certified service provider or certified automated systems are updated or upgraded, they must be recertified by the Department. Notification of changes shall be provided to the Department prior to implementation. Upon receipt of such notification, the Department shall review and test the changes to assess whether the updated system of the certified service provider or the updated certified automated system can properly determine the taxability of items to be sold, the correct tax rate to apply to a transaction, and the appropriate jurisdictions to which the tax shall be remitted. The Department shall recertify updated systems that meet these requirements. The certified service provider or retailer using a certified automated system shall be liable for any tax resulting from errors caused by use of an updated or upgraded system prior to recertification by the Department. In addition to these procedures, the Department may periodically review the system of a certified service provider or the certified automated system used by a retailer to ensure that the system can properly determine the taxability of items to be sold, the correct tax rate to apply to a transaction, and the appropriate jurisdictions to which the tax shall be remitted.

35 ILCS 185/5-30 (35 ILCS 185/5-30)
Sec. 5-30. Database; relief from liability; annual verification; refunds. (a) The Department shall, to the best of its ability, utilize an electronic database to provide information assigning purchaser addresses to the proper local taxing jurisdiction. (b) Remote retailers using certified service providers or certified automated systems and their certified service providers or certified automated systems providers are relieved from liability to the State for having remitted the incorrect amount of use or occupation tax resulting from a certified service provider or certified automated system relying, at the time of the sale, on: (1) erroneous data provided by the State in database files on tax rates, boundaries, or taxing jurisdictions; or (2) erroneous data provided by the State concerning the taxability of products and services. (c) Beginning February 1, 2022 and on or before February 1 of each year thereafter, the Department shall make available to each local taxing jurisdiction the taxing jurisdiction's boundaries, determined by the Department, for its verification. Jurisdictions shall verify these taxing jurisdiction boundaries and notify the Department of any changes, additions, or deletions by April 1 of each year in the form and manner required by the Department. The Department shall use its best judgment and information to confirm the information provided by the taxing jurisdictions and update its database. The Department shall administer and enforce such changes on the first day of the next following July. (d) The clerk of any municipality or county from which territory has been annexed or disconnected shall notify the Department of Revenue of that annexation or disconnection in the form and manner required by the Department. Required documentation shall include a certified copy of the plat of annexation or, in the case of disconnection, the ordinance, final judgment, or resolution of disconnection together with an accurate depiction of the territory disconnected. Notification shall be provided to the Department either (i) on or before the first day of April, whereupon the Department shall confirm the information provided by the municipality or county and update its database and proceed to administer and enforce the confirmed changes on the first day of July next following the proper notification; or (ii) on or before the first day of October, whereupon the Department shall confirm the information provided by the municipality or county and update its database and proceed to administer and enforce the confirmed changes on the first day of January next following proper notification. (e) Nothing in this Section affects a customer's right to seek a refund from the remote retailer as provided in this Act.
