The capitalized cost includes all 23 items which are capitalized in the lease and after the 24 application of the capitalized cost reduction, amortizes to 25 the residual value by the depreciation portion of the 26 periodic lease payments over the term of the lease. For a 27 single payment lease, the capitalized cost amortizes to the 28 residual value by the depreciation portion of the single 29 lease payment. The capitalized cost may include, without 30 limitation, taxes, registration, license, acquisition, 31 administration, assignment and other fees, and charges for HB0601 Enrolled -2- LRB9000420KRkb 1 insurance, for a waiver of the contractual obligation to pay 2 the gap amount, for accessories and their installation, for 3 delivering, servicing, repairing, or improving the vehicle, 4 and for other services and benefits incidental to the 5 consumer lease.

The term capitalized cost does not include any 12 lease charge. 13 "Capitalized cost reduction" means payments made by cash, 14 check, rebates, or similar means that are in the nature of 15 down payments made by the lessee and any net trade-in 16 allowance granted by the lessor at the inception of the 17 consumer lease for the purpose of reducing the capitalized 18 cost. The term capitalized cost reduction does not include 19 any base lease payments due at the inception of the lease. 20 "Department" means the Department of Revenue. 21 "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership, 22 association, joint stock company, joint venture, public or 23 private corporation, limited liability company, or a 24 receiver, executor, trustee, conservator, or other 25 representatives appointed by order of any court. 26 "Lessor" means any person, firm, corporation, or 27 association engaged in this State in the business of leasing 28 automobiles for a period of more than one year to users. For 29 this purpose, the objective of making a profit is not 30 necessary to make the leasing activity a business. 31 "Lessee" means any user to whom the possession, or the 32 right to possession, of an automobile is transferred for a 33 period of more than one year for a valuable consideration 34 that is paid by the lessee or by someone else.

In the case of 4 leasing transactions in which the consideration is paid to 5 the lessor on an installment basis, the amounts of the 6 payments shall be included by the lessor in gross receipts or 7 lease payments only as and when payments are received by the 8 lessor. 9 "Leasing price" or "lease price" means the consideration 10 paid monthly for leasing an automobile valued in money, 11 whether received in money or otherwise (including cash, 12 credits, property, and services) and shall be determined 13 without any deduction on account of the cost of the property 14 leased, the cost of materials used, labor or service cost, or 15 any other expense whatsoever, and includes charges added for 16 capital contributions and up front payments, but does not 17 include charges that are added by lessors on account of the 18 lessor's tax liability under this Act or any other State or 19 federal law or on account of the lessor's duty to collect, 20 from the lessee, the tax that is imposed by Section 15 of 21 this Act. The phrase "leasing price" or "lease price" does 22 not include charges added on account of the lessor's tax 23 liability under the Chicago Transaction Tax or any other home 24 rule leasing tax on automobiles. 25 "Residual value" means the estimated value of the vehicle 26 at the end of the scheduled lease term, used by the lessor in 27 determining the base lease payment, as established by the 28 lessor at the time the lessor and lessee enter into the 29 lease. 30 Section 10.
