10    reciprocal agreements entered into  under  the  authority  of
11    Sections  302  and  701  of the Illinois Income Tax Act.  The
12    Department shall report to the General  Assembly  as  to  the
13    fiscal  impact  on Illinois income tax collections of each of
14    the reciprocal agreements by January  1,  1999  and  every  5
15    years  thereafter.   The Department of Revenue shall have the
16    authority to require that employers provide  all  information
17    necessary  to  complete  the  study on income tax withholding
18    returns filed with the Department under Section  704  of  the

 4    Assembly  may adopt a joint resolution by an affirmative vote
 5    of a majority of each house directing the Director of Revenue
 6    to revoke any reciprocal agreement with any other state  that
 7    results  in  a loss of revenue to the State of Illinois.  Any
 8    joint resolution  shall  specify  the  date  upon  which  the
 9    reciprocal agreement is to be revoked, which date shall be no
10    sooner  than  the  beginning  of the next subsequent calendar
11    year that is at least 6 months  after  the  adoption  of  the
12    joint resolution.

16    Revenue shall have the authority to enter into a compensation
17    or   rebating  agreement  with  any  reciprocal  state.   Any
18    compensation agreement  shall  provide  that  the  reciprocal
19    state  shall  provide  a  rebate  to the State of Illinois to
20    compensate for the loss of revenue.  The Director of  Revenue
21    shall  have  the  authority  to  enter  into  agreements with

 7        "Section  80.   The  Uniform  Penalty and Interest Act is
 8    amended by changing Section 3-3 as follows:
 9        (35 ILCS 735/3-3) (from Ch. 120, par. 2603-3)
10        Sec. 3-3.  Penalty for failure to file or pay.
11        (a)  This subsection (a) is applicable before January  1,
12    1996.  A penalty of 5% of the tax required to be shown due on
13    a  return shall be imposed for failure to file the tax return
14    on or before the due date prescribed  for  filing  determined
15    with regard for any extension of time for filing (penalty for
16    late  filing  or  nonfiling).  If any unprocessable return is
17    corrected and filed  within  21  days  after  notice  by  the
18    Department,  the  late  filing or nonfiling penalty shall not
19    apply.  If a penalty for late filing or nonfiling is  imposed
20    in  addition to a penalty for late payment, the total penalty
21    due shall be the sum of  the  late  filing  penalty  and  the
22    applicable  late  payment penalty. Beginning on the effective
23    date of this amendatory Act of 1995, in the case of any  type
24    of  tax  return  required  to  be  filed more frequently than
25    annually, when the failure to  file  the  tax  return  on  or
26    before   the   date  prescribed  for  filing  (including  any
27    extensions) is shown to be nonfraudulent and has not occurred
28    in the 2 years immediately preceding the failure to  file  on
29    the  prescribed  due  date,  the  penalty  imposed by section
30    3-3(a) shall be abated.
31        (a-5)  This subsection (a-5) is applicable on  and  after
32    January 1, 1996. A penalty equal to 2% of the tax required to
                            -6-              LRB9000732KDcdam
 1    be  shown  due  on  a return, up to a maximum amount of $250,
 2    determined without regard to any part of the tax that is paid
 3    on time or by any credit that was properly allowable  on  the
 4    date  the  return  was required to be filed, shall be imposed
 5    for failure to file the tax return on or before the due  date
 6    prescribed   for   filing  determined  with  regard  for  any
 7    extension of time for filing. However, if any return  is  not
 8    filed  within 30 days after notice of nonfiling mailed by the
 9    Department  to  the  last  known  address  of  the   taxpayer
10    contained in Department records, an additional penalty amount
11    shall  be  imposed  equal to the greater of $250 or 2% of the
12    tax shown on the return.   However,  the  additional  penalty
13    amount may not exceed $5,000 and is determined without regard
14    to  any part of the tax that is paid on time or by any credit
15    that was properly  allowable  on  the  date  the  return  was
16    required  to be filed (penalty for late filing or nonfiling).
17    If any unprocessable return is corrected and filed within  30
18    days  after  notice  by  the  Department,  the late filing or
19    nonfiling penalty shall not apply.  If  a  penalty  for  late
20    filing  or  nonfiling is imposed in addition to a penalty for
21    late payment, the total penalty due shall be the sum  of  the
22    late  filing penalty and the applicable late payment penalty.
23    In the case of any type of tax return required  to  be  filed
24    more  frequently  than annually, when the failure to file the
25    tax return on  or  before  the  date  prescribed  for  filing
26    (including  any  extensions) is shown to be nonfraudulent and
27    has not occurred in the 2  years  immediately  preceding  the
28    failure  to  file  on  the  prescribed  due date, the penalty
29    imposed by section 3-3(a) shall be abated.
30        (b)  A penalty of 15% of the tax shown on the  return  or
31    the  tax  required  to  be  shown  due on the return shall be
32    imposed for failure to pay:
33             (1)  the tax shown due on the return  on  or  before
34        the  due  date  prescribed  for  payment  of that tax, an
                            -7-              LRB9000732KDcdam
 1        amount of underpayment of estimated  tax,  or  an  amount
 2        that  is  reported  in  an  amended  return other than an
 3        amended return timely filed as required by subsection (b)
 4        of Section 506 of the Illinois Income  Tax  Act  (penalty
 5        for late payment or nonpayment of admitted liability); or
 6             (2)  the full amount of any tax required to be shown
 7        due  on a return and which is not shown (penalty for late
 8        payment or nonpayment of additional liability), within 30
 9        days after a  notice  of  arithmetic  error,  notice  and
10        demand,   or   a   final  assessment  is  issued  by  the
11        Department. In the case of  a  final  assessment  arising
12        following  a protest and hearing, the 30-day period shall
13        not begin until all proceedings in court  for  review  of
14        the  final  assessment  have terminated or the period for
15        obtaining a review has expired without proceedings for  a
16        review  having  been instituted.  In the case of a notice
17        of tax liability that becomes a final assessment  without
18        a  protest  and  hearing,  the  penalty  provided in this
19        paragraph (2) shall be imposed at the expiration  of  the
20        period provided for the filing of a protest.
21        (c)  For  purposes  of  the  late  payment penalties, the
22    basis of the penalty shall be the tax shown or required to be
23    shown on a return, whichever is applicable,  reduced  by  any
24    part of the tax which is paid on time and by any credit which
25    was properly allowable on the date the return was required to
26    be filed.
27        (d)  A penalty shall be applied to the tax required to be
28    shown  even  if that amount is less than the tax shown on the
29    return.
30        (e)  If both a subsection (b)(1) penalty and a subsection
31    (b)(2) penalty are assessed  against  the  same  return,  the
32    subsection  (b)(2) penalty shall be assessed against only the
33    additional tax found to be due.
34        (f)  If the taxpayer has failed to file the  return,  the
                            -8-              LRB9000732KDcdam
 1    Department  shall  determine the correct tax according to its
 2    best judgment and information, which amount  shall  be  prima
 3    facie evidence of the correctness of the tax due.
 4        (g)  The  time  within  which  to file a return or pay an
 5    amount of tax due without imposition of a  penalty  does  not
 6    extend the time within which to file a protest to a notice of
 7    tax liability or a notice of deficiency.
 8        (h)  No  return  shall  be determined to be unprocessable
 9    because of the omission of any information requested  on  the
10    return  pursuant to Section 39b53 of the Civil Administrative
11    Code of Illinois.
