18    whether the funding for the Aquaculture Cooperative should be
19    extended beyond June 30, 2009.  If the Department  recommends
20    an  extension  of  the  funding for the Cooperative, then the
21    report shall detail  whether  the  Cooperative  funding  from
22    Section  9  of  the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use
23    Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and
24    Section  3  of  the  Retailers'  Occupation Tax Act should be
25    increased, decreased, or eliminated.   The  report  shall  be
26    submitted   according   to  Section  5-140  of  the  Illinois
27    Administrative Procedure Act.
28        (d)  This Section is repealed on June 30, 2009.

29        Section 15.  The State Finance Act is amended  by  adding
30    Sections 5.490 and 6z-47 as follows:

31        (30 ILCS 105/5.490 new)
32        Sec. 5.490.  The Illinois Aquaculture Development Fund.
 
                            -3-               LRB9101596PTpkA
 1        (30 ILCS 105/6z-47 new)
 2        Sec.  6z-47.  Illinois Aquaculture Development Fund.  The
 3    Illinois Aquaculture Development Fund is created as a special
 4    fund in the State  Treasury.    The  tax  revenues  that  are
 5    required to be deposited into the Fund under Section 9 of the
 6    Use  Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 9
 7    of the Service Occupation Tax  Act,  and  Section  3  of  the
 8    Retailers'  Occupation Tax Act shall be paid monthly into the
 9    Fund beginning July 1, 1999 and ending June 30,  2009  unless
10    otherwise  extended  by law.  The monies in the Fund shall be
11    appropriated  to  the  Department  of  Agriculture  for   the
12    purposes of the Aquaculture Cooperative established under the
13    Aquaculture   Development  Act  and  incorporated  under  the
14    Agricultural Co-Operative Act.

15        Section 20.  The Use  Tax  Act  is  amended  by  changing
16    Section 9 as follows:

17        (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
18        Sec.   9.  Except   as  to  motor  vehicles,  watercraft,
19    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
20    with  an  agency  of  this  State,  each retailer required or
21    authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act  shall  pay
22    to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
23    provided)  at the time when he is required to file his return
24    for the period during which such tax was  collected,  less  a
25    discount  of  2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
26    after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever  is
27    greater,  which  is  allowed  to  reimburse  the retailer for
28    expenses incurred in collecting  the  tax,  keeping  records,
29    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
30    data  to the Department on request.  In the case of retailers
31    who report and pay the tax on a  transaction  by  transaction
32    basis,  as  provided  in this Section, such discount shall be
 
                            -4-               LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    taken with each such tax  remittance  instead  of  when  such
 2    retailer  files  his  periodic  return.   A retailer need not
 3    remit that part of any tax collected by  him  to  the  extent
 4    that  he  is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
 5    by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,  with  respect  to  the
 6    sale of the same property.
 7        Where  such  tangible  personal  property is sold under a
 8    conditional sales contract, or under any other form  of  sale
 9    wherein  the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
10    is extended beyond the close of  the  period  for  which  the
11    return  is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
12    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
13    are required to be registered with an agency of this  State),
14    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
15    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
16    received during such tax return period.
17        Except  as  provided  in  this  Section, on or before the
18    twentieth day of each calendar  month,  such  retailer  shall
19    file  a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such return
20    shall be filed on forms  prescribed  by  the  Department  and
21    shall   furnish   such  information  as  the  Department  may
22    reasonably require.
23        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
24    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar
25    quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of  the
26    calendar  month  following  the end of such calendar quarter.
27    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
28    each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on  or
29    before  the  twentieth  day  of the following calendar month,
30    stating:
31             1.  The name of the seller;
32             2.  The address of the principal place  of  business
33        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
34        personal property at retail in this State;
 
                            -5-               LRB9101596PTpkA
 1             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
 2        him  during  the  preceding  calendar month from sales of
 3        tangible personal property by him during  such  preceding
 4        calendar  month,  including receipts from charge and time
 5        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
 6             4.  The amount of credit provided in Section  2d  of
 7        this Act;
 8             5.  The amount of tax due;
 9             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
10             6.  Such   other   reasonable   information  as  the
11        Department may require.
12        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
13    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
14    the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown  to
15    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
16        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
17    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
18    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
19    funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
20    an average monthly tax liability of $100,000  or  more  shall
21    make  all  payments  required  by  rules of the Department by
22    electronic funds  transfer.  Beginning  October  1,  1995,  a
23    taxpayer  who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
24    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
25    Department  by  electronic  funds transfer. The term "average
26    monthly tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the  taxpayer's
27    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
28    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
29    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
30    divided by 12.
31        Before August 1 of  each  year  beginning  in  1993,  the
32    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
33    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
34    to  make  payments  by  electronic  funds transfer shall make
 
                            -6-               LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
 2    1.
 3        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic
 4    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
 5    with the permission of the Department.
 6        All  taxpayers  required  to  make  payment by electronic
 7    funds transfer and any taxpayers  authorized  to  voluntarily
 8    make  payments  by electronic funds transfer shall make those
 9    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
10        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
11    effectuate a program of electronic  funds  transfer  and  the
12    requirements of this Section.
13        If  the  taxpayer's  average monthly tax liability to the
14    Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
15    the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax  Act  was
16    $10,000  or  more  during  the  preceding 4 complete calendar
17    quarters, he shall file a return  with  the  Department  each
18    month  by  the 20th day of the month next following the month
19    during which such tax liability is incurred  and  shall  make
20    payments  to  the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
21    and last day of the month  during  which  such  liability  is
22    incurred.   If  the  month during which such tax liability is
23    incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each  payment  shall
24    be  in  an  amount  equal  to  1/4  of  the taxpayer's actual
25    liability for the month or an amount set  by  the  Department
26    not  to  exceed  1/4  of the average monthly liability of the
27    taxpayer to the  Department  for  the  preceding  4  complete
28    calendar  quarters  (excluding the month of highest liability
29    and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter  period).
30    If  the  month  during  which  such tax liability is incurred
31    begins on or after January 1, 1985, and prior to  January  1,
32    1987,  each  payment  shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
33    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
34    taxpayer's liability for  the  same  calendar  month  of  the
 
                            -7-               LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
 2    is  incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior to
 3    January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to
 4    22.5%  of  the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or
 5    26.25% of the taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar
 6    month  of the preceding year.  If the month during which such
 7    tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
 8    and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or  after  January
 9    1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
10    the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or 25% of the
11    taxpayer's liability for  the  same  calendar  month  of  the
12    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
13    is  incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior to
14    January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to
15    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
16    of  the  taxpayer's  liability for the same calendar month of
17    the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
18    for the quarter monthly reporting period.  The amount of such
19    quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the  final
20    tax  liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.  Once
21    applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter  monthly
22    payments   to   the  Department  shall  continue  until  such
23    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
24    the preceding 4 complete  calendar  quarters  (excluding  the
25    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
26    is less than $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly
27    liability  to  the  Department  as computed for each calendar
28    quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar  quarter  period
29    is  less  than  $10,000.  However, if a taxpayer can show the
30    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
31    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
32    that his average monthly tax  liability  for  the  reasonably
33    foreseeable   future  will  fall  below  $10,000,  then  such
34    taxpayer may petition  the  Department  for  change  in  such
 
                            -8-               LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    taxpayer's  reporting  status.    The Department shall change
 2    such taxpayer's reporting status unless it  finds  that  such
 3    change  is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term.
 4    If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at  the  time
 5    or  in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer
 6    shall be liable for penalties and interest on the  difference
 7    between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
 8    monthly  payment  actually and timely paid, except insofar as
 9    the taxpayer has previously made payments for that  month  to
10    the  Department  in excess of the minimum payments previously
11    due as provided in this Section.  The Department  shall  make
12    reasonable  rules  and  regulations  to  govern  the  quarter
13    monthly  payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
14    taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
15        If any such payment provided for in this Section  exceeds
16    the  taxpayer's  liabilities  under  this Act, the Retailers'
17    Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax  Act  and  the
18    Service  Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
19    the  Department  shall  issue  to  the  taxpayer   a   credit
20    memorandum  no  later than 30 days after the date of payment,
21    which memorandum may be submitted  by  the  taxpayer  to  the
22    Department  in  payment  of  tax liability subsequently to be
23    remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned  by
24    the  taxpayer  to  a  similar  taxpayer  under  this Act, the
25    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
26    or the Service Use Tax Act,  in  accordance  with  reasonable
27    rules  and  regulations  to  be prescribed by the Department,
28    except that if such excess payment is shown  on  an  original
29    monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
30    memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
31    If  no  such  request  is  made, the taxpayer may credit such
32    excess payment  against  tax  liability  subsequently  to  be
33    remitted  by  the  taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
34    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
 
                            -9-               LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
 2    rules and regulations prescribed by the Department.   If  the
 3    Department  subsequently  determines  that all or any part of
 4    the credit taken was not actually due to  the  taxpayer,  the
 5    taxpayer's  2.1%  or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
 6    by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the  credit  taken
 7    and  that  actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
 8    penalties and interest on such difference.
 9        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
10    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
11    the  Department  does  not  exceed  $200,  the Department may
12    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
13    with  the  return for January, February, and March of a given
14    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
15    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
16    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
17    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
18    the return for October, November and December of a given year
19    being due by January 20 of the following year.
20        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
21    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
22    liability   to  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50,  the
23    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
24    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
25    20 of the following year.
26        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
27    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
28    monthly returns.
29        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
30    concerning the time within which  a  retailer  may  file  his
31    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
32    kind  of  business  which  makes  him  responsible for filing
33    returns under this Act, such  retailer  shall  file  a  final
34    return  under  this Act with the Department not more than one
 
                            -10-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    month after discontinuing such business.
 2        In addition, with respect to motor vehicles,  watercraft,
 3    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
 4    with an agency of this State,  every  retailer  selling  this
 5    kind  of  tangible  personal  property  shall  file, with the
 6    Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by  the
 7    Department,  a separate return for each such item of tangible
 8    personal property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except  that
 9    where,  in  the  same  transaction,  a  retailer of aircraft,
10    watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers  transfers  more  than
11    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
12    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
13    the purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report  the
14    transfer  of  all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
15    trailers involved in that transaction to  the  Department  on
16    the  same  uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
17    For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a  Class  2,
18    Class  3,  or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
19    the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal  watercraft,
20    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
21        The  transaction  reporting  return  in the case of motor
22    vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered  with
23    an  agency  of  this State, shall be the same document as the
24    Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the  Illinois
25    Vehicle  Code  and  must  show  the  name  and address of the
26    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
27    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
28    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
29    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
30    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
31    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
32    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
33    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
34    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
 
                            -11-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
 2    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
 3    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
 4    place and date of the sale; a  sufficient  identification  of
 5    the  property  sold; such other information as is required in
 6    Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,  and  such  other
 7    information as the Department may reasonably require.
 8        The   transaction   reporting   return  in  the  case  of
 9    watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
10    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
11    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
12    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
13    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
14    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
15    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
16    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
17    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
18    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
19    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
20    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
21    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
22    place and date of the sale, a  sufficient  identification  of
23    the   property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as  the
24    Department may reasonably require.
25        Such transaction reporting  return  shall  be  filed  not
26    later  than  20  days  after the date of delivery of the item
27    that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer  at  any
28    time   sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.   The
29    transaction reporting return and tax remittance or  proof  of
30    exemption  from  the  tax  that is imposed by this Act may be
31    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
32    which, or State officer  with  whom,  the  tangible  personal
33    property   must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling  or
34    registration is required) if the Department and  such  agency
 
                            -12-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    or  State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
 2    the processing of applications for title or registration.
 3        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
 4    shall remit the proper amount of tax  due  (or  shall  submit
 5    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
 6    the  case),  to  the  Department or its agents, whereupon the
 7    Department shall  issue,  in  the  purchaser's  name,  a  tax
 8    receipt  (or  a certificate of exemption if the Department is
 9    satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which  such
10    purchaser  may  submit  to  the  agency  with which, or State
11    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
12    personal   property   that   is   involved   (if  titling  or
13    registration is required)  in  support  of  such  purchaser's
14    application  for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
15    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
16        No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under  this
17    Act  precludes  a  user,  who  has paid the proper tax to the
18    retailer, from obtaining his certificate of  title  or  other
19    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
20    is  required)  upon  satisfying the Department that such user
21    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
22    Department shall adopt appropriate rules  to  carry  out  the
23    mandate of this paragraph.
24        If  the  user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
25    wants the transaction reporting return filed and the  payment
26    of  tax  or  proof of exemption made to the Department before
27    the retailer is willing to take these actions and  such  user
28    has  not  paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
29    to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon  the
30    Department   being   satisfied   of   the   truth   of   such
31    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
32    transaction  reporting  return  and the remittance for tax or
33    proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain  his
34    tax  receipt  or  exemption determination, in which event the
 
                            -13-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    transaction reporting return and tax  remittance  (if  a  tax
 2    payment  was required) shall be credited by the Department to
 3    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
 4    without the 2.1% or  1.75%  discount  provided  for  in  this
 5    Section  being  allowed.  When the user pays the tax directly
 6    to the Department, he shall pay the tax in  the  same  amount
 7    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
 8    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
 9        Where  a  retailer  collects  the tax with respect to the
10    selling price of tangible personal property  which  he  sells
11    and  the  purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
12    property and the retailer refunds the selling  price  thereof
13    to  the  purchaser,  such  retailer shall also refund, to the
14    purchaser, the tax so  collected  from  the  purchaser.  When
15    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
16    to  the  purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
17    tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from  any  other  use
18    tax  which  such  retailer may be required to pay or remit to
19    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
20    tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the  Department
21    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
22    remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the Department, he is
23    entitled to no deduction under this Act upon  refunding  such
24    tax to the purchaser.
25        Any  retailer  filing  a  return under this Section shall
26    also include (for the purpose  of  paying  tax  thereon)  the
27    total  tax  covered  by such return upon the selling price of
28    tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from  a
29    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
30    collected  from  the  retailer  filing  such return, and such
31    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
32    when filing such return.
33        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
34    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
 
                            -14-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
 2    file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under   the   Retailers'
 3    Occupation  Tax  Act,  to  furnish all the return information
 4    required by both Acts on the one form.
 5        Where the retailer has more than one business  registered
 6    with  the  Department  under separate registration under this
 7    Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as  a
 8    single  return  covering  all such registered businesses, but
 9    shall  file  separate  returns  for  each   such   registered
10    business.
11        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
12    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund,  a
13    special  fund  in the State Treasury which is hereby created,
14    the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the  1%
15    tax  on  sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be
16    consumed off the  premises  where  it  is  sold  (other  than
17    alcoholic  beverages,  soft  drinks  and  food which has been
18    prepared for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription  and
19    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
20    insulin,  urine  testing materials, syringes and needles used
21    by diabetics.
22        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
23    shall  pay  into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
24    of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from  the
25    6.25%  general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
26    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
27    retailer and which is titled or registered by  an  agency  of
28    this State's government.
29        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
30    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund,  a
31    special  fund  in  the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue
32    realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general  rate
33    on  the  selling  price  of tangible personal property, other
34    than tangible personal property which  is  purchased  outside

 2    registered by an agency of this State's government.
 3        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
 4    shall  pay  into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
 5    revenue realized for  the  preceding  month  from  the  6.25%
 6    general  rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible personal
 7    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
 8    retailer and which is titled or registered by  an  agency  of
 9    this State's government.
10        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
11    pursuant  to  this  Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
12    the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,  1989,  2.2%
13    and  on  and  after  July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
14    into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that  if  in
15    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
16    as  the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
17    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
18    to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section  9
19    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
20    Section  9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
21    hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of  2.2%
22    or  3.8%,  as  the  case  may be, of moneys being hereinafter
23    called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the  amount  transferred
24    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
25    Reform  Fund  shall  be less than the Annual Specified Amount
26    (as defined in Section 3 of  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax
27    Act),  an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
28    paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys  received
29    by  the  Department  pursuant  to  the  Tax Acts; and further
30    provided, that if on the last business day of any  month  the
31    sum  of  (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
32    the Build Illinois Bond Account in the  Build  Illinois  Fund
33    during  such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
34    month to the Build Illinois Fund from  the  State  and  Local

 5    Acts;  and,  further  provided,  that  in  no event shall the
 6    payments required  under  the  preceding  proviso  result  in
 7    aggregate  payments  into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
 8    this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the  greater
 9    of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
10    for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
11    payable  into  the  Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b)
12    shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
13    on deposit under each trust indenture securing  Bonds  issued
14    and  outstanding  pursuant  to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
15    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
16    to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for  the
17    defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
18    any,  and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and
19    on any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter  and  all  fees
20    and  costs  payable with respect thereto, all as certified by
21    the Director of the Bureau of the Budget.   If  on  the  last
22    business  day  of  any  month  in which Bonds are outstanding
23    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
24    moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond  Account  in  the
25    Build  Illinois  Fund  in  such  month shall be less than the
26    amount required to be transferred  in  such  month  from  the
27    Build  Illinois  Bond  Account  to  the  Build  Illinois Bond
28    Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section  13  of  the

 7    February through June of 1992.
 8        Net  revenue  realized  for  a month shall be the revenue
 9    collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the  amount
10    paid  out  during  that  month  as  refunds  to taxpayers for
11    overpayment of liability.
12        For greater simplicity of administration,  manufacturers,
13    importers  and  wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
14    in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
15    assume the responsibility for accounting and  paying  to  the
16    Department  all  tax  accruing under this Act with respect to
17    such sales, if the retailers who are  affected  do  not  make
18    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.

21        Section  25.   The  Service  Use  Tax  Act  is amended by
22    changing Section 9 as follows:

23        (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
24        Sec.  9.  Each  serviceman  required  or  authorized   to
25    collect  the  tax  herein imposed shall pay to the Department
26    the amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at  the
27    time  when  he  is required to file his return for the period
28    during which such tax was collected, less a discount of  2.1%
29    prior  to  January  1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1,
30    1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
31    allowed to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred  in
32    collecting  the  tax,  keeping  records, preparing and filing
 
                            -21-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    returns,  remitting  the  tax  and  supplying  data  to   the
 2    Department  on request. A serviceman need not remit that part
 3    of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
 4    to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
 5    Tax Act with respect to his sale  of  service  involving  the
 6    incidental transfer by him of the same property.
 7        Except  as  provided  hereinafter  in this Section, on or
 8    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
 9    serviceman shall file a return  for  the  preceding  calendar
10    month  in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to
11    be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be  filed
12    on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
13    information as the Department may reasonably require.
14        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
15    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
16    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
17    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
18    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
19    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
20    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
21    stating:
22             1.  The name of the seller;
23             2.  The  address  of the principal place of business
24        from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
25        State;
26             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
27        him  during  the  preceding  calendar  month,   including
28        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all
29        deductions allowed by law;
30             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
31        this Act;
32             5.  The amount of tax due;
33             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
34             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
 
                            -22-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1        Department may require.
 2        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
 3    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
 4    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
 5    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
 6        Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an  average
 7    monthly  tax  liability  of  $150,000  or more shall make all
 8    payments required by rules of the  Department  by  electronic
 9    funds  transfer.   Beginning  October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
10    has an average monthly tax  liability  of  $100,000  or  more
11    shall  make  all payments required by rules of the Department
12    by electronic funds transfer.  Beginning October 1,  1995,  a
13    taxpayer  who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
14    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
15    Department  by  electronic  funds transfer. The term "average
16    monthly tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the  taxpayer's
17    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
18    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
19    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
20    divided by 12.
21        Before August 1 of  each  year  beginning  in  1993,  the
22    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
23    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
24    to  make  payments  by  electronic  funds transfer shall make
25    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
26    1.
27        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic
28    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
29    with the permission of the Department.
30        All  taxpayers  required  to  make  payment by electronic
31    funds transfer and any taxpayers  authorized  to  voluntarily
32    make  payments  by electronic funds transfer shall make those
33    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
34        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
 
                            -23-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    effectuate a program of electronic  funds  transfer  and  the
 2    requirements of this Section.
 3        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
 4    return  and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability
 5    to the Department does not exceed $200,  the  Department  may
 6    authorize  his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
 7    with the return for January, February and March  of  a  given
 8    year  being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
 9    April, May and June of a given year being due by July  20  of
10    such  year; with the return for July, August and September of
11    a given year being due by October 20 of such year,  and  with
12    the return for October, November and December of a given year
13    being due by January 20 of the following year.
14        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
15    or  quarterly  return and if the serviceman's average monthly
16    tax liability to the Department  does  not  exceed  $50,  the
17    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
18    basis,  with the return for a given year being due by January
19    20 of the following year.
20        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
21    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
22    monthly returns.
23        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
24    concerning  the  time  within which a serviceman may file his
25    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
26    a kind of business which makes  him  responsible  for  filing
27    returns  under  this  Act, such serviceman shall file a final
28    return under this Act with the Department  not  more  than  1
29    month after discontinuing such business.
30        Where  a  serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
31    selling price of property which he sells  and  the  purchaser
32    thereafter  returns  such property and the serviceman refunds
33    the selling price thereof to the purchaser,  such  serviceman
34    shall  also  refund,  to  the purchaser, the tax so collected
 
                            -24-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    from the purchaser. When filing his return for the period  in
 2    which  he  refunds  such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman
 3    may deduct the amount of the tax so refunded by  him  to  the
 4    purchaser  from any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation
 5    Tax,  retailers'  occupation  tax  or  use  tax  which   such
 6    serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
 7    as  shown by such return, provided that the amount of the tax
 8    to be deducted shall previously have  been  remitted  to  the
 9    Department  by  such  serviceman. If the serviceman shall not
10    previously have remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax  to  the
11    Department,  he  shall  be entitled to no deduction hereunder
12    upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
13        Any serviceman  filing  a  return  hereunder  shall  also
14    include  the  total  tax  upon  the selling price of tangible
15    personal property purchased for use by him as an incident  to
16    a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
17    of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
18        If  experience  indicates  such action to be practicable,
19    the Department may prescribe and  furnish  a  combination  or
20    joint  return  which will enable servicemen, who are required
21    to  file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under  the   Service
22    Occupation  Tax  Act,  to  furnish all the return information
23    required by both Acts on the one form.
24        Where  the  serviceman  has  more   than   one   business
25    registered  with  the  Department under separate registration
26    hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
27    due  as  a  single  return  covering  all   such   registered
28    businesses,  but  shall  file  separate returns for each such
29    registered business.
30        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
31    shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
32    fund  in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for the
33    preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of  food  for  human
34    consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
 
                            -25-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
 2    which  has  been  prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and
 3    prescription  and  nonprescription  medicines, drugs, medical
 4    appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
 5    needles used by diabetics.
 6        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
 7    shall  pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 20%
 8    of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from  the
 9    6.25%   general   rate  on  transfers  of  tangible  personal
10    property, other than  tangible  personal  property  which  is
11    purchased  outside  Illinois  at  retail  from a retailer and
12    which is titled or registered by an agency  of  this  State's
13    government.
14        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
15    pursuant  to  this Act, (a)  1.75% thereof shall be paid into
16    the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,  1989,  2.2%
17    and  on  and  after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be  paid
18    into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that  if  in
19    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
20    as  the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
21    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
22    to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section  9
23    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
24    Section  9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
25    hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of  2.2%
26    or  3.8%,  as  the  case  may be, of moneys being hereinafter
27    called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the  amount  transferred
28    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
29    Reform  Fund  shall be less than the Annual Specified  Amount
30    (as defined in Section 3 of  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax
31    Act),  an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
32    paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys  received
33    by  the  Department  pursuant  to  the  Tax Acts; and further
34    provided, that if on the last business day of any  month  the
 
                            -26-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    sum  of  (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
 2    the Build Illinois Bond Account in the  Build  Illinois  Fund
 3    during  such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
 4    month to the Build Illinois Fund from  the  State  and  Local
 5    Sales  Tax  Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the
 6    Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal  to  the  difference
 7    shall  be  immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from
 8    other moneys received by the Department pursuant to  the  Tax
 9    Acts;  and,  further  provided,  that  in  no event shall the
10    payments required  under  the  preceding  proviso  result  in
11    aggregate  payments  into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
12    this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the  greater
13    of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
14    for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
15    payable  into  the  Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b)
16    shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
17    on deposit under each trust indenture securing  Bonds  issued
18    and  outstanding  pursuant  to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
19    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
20    to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for  the
21    defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
22    any,  and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and
23    on any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter  and  all  fees
24    and  costs  payable with respect thereto, all as certified by
25    the Director of the Bureau of the Budget.   If  on  the  last
26    business  day  of  any  month  in which Bonds are outstanding
27    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
28    moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond  Account  in  the
29    Build  Illinois  Fund  in  such  month shall be less than the
30    amount required to be transferred  in  such  month  from  the
31    Build  Illinois  Bond  Account  to  the  Build  Illinois Bond
32    Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section  13  of  the
33    Build  Illinois  Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
34    shall be immediately paid from other moneys received  by  the

 1    Department  pursuant  to  the  Tax Acts to the Build Illinois
 2    Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to  the  Build
 3    Illinois  Fund  in  any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
 4    shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
 5    of  the  preceding  sentence  and  shall  reduce  the  amount
 6    otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b)
 7    of the  preceding  sentence.   The  moneys  received  by  the
 8    Department  pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited
 9    into the Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim
10    and charge set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond
11    Act.

13    Fund  as  provided  in  the  preceding  paragraph  or  in any
14    amendment thereto hereafter enacted, the following  specified

16    changing Section 9 as follows:

17        (35 ILCS 115/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.109)
18        Sec.  9.   Each  serviceman  required  or  authorized  to
19    collect  the  tax  herein imposed shall pay to the Department
20    the amount of such tax at the time when  he  is  required  to
21    file  his  return  for  the  period during which such tax was
22    collectible, less a discount of  2.1%  prior  to  January  1,
23    1990,  and  1.75%  on  and  after  January 1, 1990, or $5 per
24    calendar year, whichever is  greater,  which  is  allowed  to
25    reimburse  the serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting
26    the tax,  keeping  records,  preparing  and  filing  returns,
27    remitting  the  tax  and  supplying data to the Department on
28    request.
29        Where such tangible personal property  is  sold  under  a
30    conditional  sales  contract, or under any other form of sale
31    wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part  thereof,
32    is  extended  beyond  the  close  of the period for which the
 
                            -31-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    return is filed, the serviceman, in collecting  the  tax  may
 2    collect,  for each tax return period, only the tax applicable
 3    to the part of the selling  price  actually  received  during
 4    such tax return period.
 5        Except  as  provided  hereinafter  in this Section, on or
 6    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
 7    serviceman shall file a return  for  the  preceding  calendar
 8    month  in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
 9    be promulgated by the Department of  Revenue.    Such  return
10    shall  be  filed  on  a form prescribed by the Department and
11    shall  contain  such  information  as  the   Department   may
12    reasonably require.
13        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
14    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
15    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
16    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
17    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for

19    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
20    stating:
21             1.  The name of the seller;

26        him  during  the  preceding  calendar  month,   including
27        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all
28        deductions allowed by law;
29             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
30        this Act;
31             5.  The amount of tax due;
32             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and

 1        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
 2    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
 3    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
 4    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
 5        A serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase  Credit
 6    certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
 7    Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
 8    the  purchaser  provides  the  appropriate  documentation  as
 9    required  by  Section  3-70  of  the  Service Use Tax Act.  A
10    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted  by  a
11    serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
12    Act,  may  be  used  by  that  serviceman  to satisfy Service
13    Occupation  Tax  liability  in  the  amount  claimed  in  the
14    certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
15    tax from a qualifying purchase.
16        If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to  the
17    Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
18    his  returns  to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
19    return for January, February and March of a given year  being
20    due  by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May
21    and June of a given year being due by July 20 of  such  year;
22    with  the  return  for  July, August and September of a given
23    year being due by October 20  of  such  year,  and  with  the
24    return  for  October,  November  and December of a given year
25    being due by January 20 of the following year.
26        If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to  the
27    Department  does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
28    his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with  the  return
29    for  a  given  year  being due by January 20 of the following
30    year.
31        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
32    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
33    monthly returns.
34        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
 
                            -33-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    concerning  the  time  within which a serviceman may file his
 2    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
 3    a kind of business which makes  him  responsible  for  filing
 4    returns  under  this  Act, such serviceman shall file a final
 5    return under this Act with the Department  not  more  than  1
 6    month after discontinuing such business.
 7        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
 8    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
 9    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
10    funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1994,  a  taxpayer  who
11    has  an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $100,000 or more
12    shall make all payments required by rules of  the  Department
13    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a
14    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
15    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
16    Department by electronic funds transfer.  The  term  "average
17    monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the taxpayer's
18    liabilities under this Act, and under  all  other  State  and
19    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
20    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
21    divided by 12.
22        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
23    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
24    payments  by  electronic  funds  transfer.    All   taxpayers
25    required  to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
26    make those payments for a minimum of one  year  beginning  on
27    October 1.
28        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
29    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
30    with the permission of the Department.
31        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
32    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
33    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
34    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
 
                            -34-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
 2    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
 3    requirements of this Section.
 4        Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect  to  the
 5    selling  price  of  tangible personal property which he sells
 6    and the purchaser thereafter returns such  tangible  personal
 7    property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
 8    to  the  purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
 9    purchaser, the tax so collected  from  the  purchaser.   When
10    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
11    to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
12    tax  so  refunded  by  him  to  the  purchaser from any other
13    Service  Occupation  Tax,   Service   Use   Tax,   Retailers'
14    Occupation  Tax  or  Use  Tax  which  such  serviceman may be
15    required to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by  such
16    return,  provided  that  the amount of the tax to be deducted
17    shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
18    serviceman.  If the  serviceman  shall  not  previously  have
19    remitted  the  amount of such tax to the Department, he shall
20    be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
21    to the purchaser.
22        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
23    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
24    joint return which will enable servicemen, who  are  required
25    to  file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under the Retailers'
26    Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act or the  Service  Use  Tax
27    Act,  to  furnish  all the return information required by all
28    said Acts on the one form.
29        Where  the  serviceman  has  more   than   one   business
30    registered  with  the Department under separate registrations
31    hereunder, such serviceman shall file  separate  returns  for
32    each registered business.
33        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
34    shall pay into the Local  Government  Tax  Fund  the  revenue
 
                            -35-              LRB9101596PTpkA

 5    consumption)  and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
 6    drugs,  medical  appliances  and   insulin,   urine   testing
 7    materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
 8        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 9    shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District  Fund  4%
10    of  the  revenue  realized  for  the preceding month from the
11    6.25% general rate.
12        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
13    shall  pay  into  the  Local  Government  Tax Fund 16% of the
14    revenue realized for  the  preceding  month  from  the  6.25%
15    general rate on transfers of tangible personal property.
16        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
17    pursuant  to  this  Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
18    the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,  1989,  2.2%
19    and  on  and  after  July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
20    into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that  if  in
21    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
22    as  the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
23    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
24    to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section  9
25    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
26    Section  9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
27    hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of  2.2%
28    or  3.8%,  as  the  case  may be, of moneys being hereinafter
29    called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the  amount  transferred
30    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
31    Reform  Fund  shall  be less than the Annual Specified Amount
32    (as defined in Section 3 of  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax
33    Act),  an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
34    paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys  received

 2    provided, that if on the last business day of any  month  the

 4    the Build Illinois Account in the Build Illinois Fund  during
 5    such  month  and (2) the amount transferred during such month
 6    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
 7    Reform Fund shall have been less  than  1/12  of  the  Annual
 8    Specified  Amount, an amount equal to the difference shall be
 9    immediately paid into the  Build  Illinois  Fund  from  other
10    moneys  received  by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts;
11    and, further provided, that in no event  shall  the  payments
12    required  under  the  preceding  proviso  result in aggregate
13    payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause
14    (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater of  (i)  the
15    Tax  Act  Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount for such
16    fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts  payable
17    into  the  Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b) shall be
18    payable only until such  time  as  the  aggregate  amount  on
19    deposit  under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued and
20    outstanding pursuant  to  the  Build  Illinois  Bond  Act  is
21    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
22    to  fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the
23    defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
24    any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture  and
25    on  any  Bonds  expected to be issued thereafter and all fees
26    and costs payable with respect thereto, all as  certified  by
27    the  Director  of  the  Bureau of the Budget.  If on the last
28    business day of any month  in  which  Bonds  are  outstanding
29    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
30    moneys  deposited  in  the Build Illinois Bond Account in the
31    Build Illinois Fund in such month  shall  be  less  than  the
32    amount  required  to  be  transferred  in such month from the
33    Build Illinois  Bond  Account  to  the  Build  Illinois  Bond
34    Retirement  and  Interest  Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the

 6    shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
 7    of  the  preceding  sentence  and  shall  reduce  the  amount
 8    otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b)
 9    of  the  preceding  sentence.   The  moneys  received  by the
10    Department pursuant to this Act and required to be  deposited

 3    be, on the selling price of tangible personal property  which

 6    payments or distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be
 7    made  if  the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act on photoprocessing
 8    products is declared unconstitutional,  or  if  the  proceeds
 9    from  such  tax  are  unavailable for distribution because of
10    litigation.

12    Fund,  the  McCormick  Place  Expansion Project Fund, and the

29    collections under this Section, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act,
30    Section  9  of  the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 3 of the
31    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act of the 80% of the  net  revenue
32    realized  for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
33    on the selling price of tangible personal property.

 1    this  Act  shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund of the

 3        The Department may, upon separate  written  notice  to  a
 4    taxpayer,  require  the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
 5    Department on a form prescribed by the Department within  not
 6    less  than  60  days  after  receipt  of the notice an annual
 7    information return for the tax year specified in the  notice.
 8    Such   annual  return  to  the  Department  shall  include  a
 9    statement of gross receipts as shown by the  taxpayer's  last
10    Federal  income  tax  return.   If  the total receipts of the
11    business as reported in the Federal income tax return do  not
12    agree  with  the gross receipts reported to the Department of
13    Revenue for the same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his
14    annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation  of  the  2
15    amounts  and  the reasons for the difference.  The taxpayer's
16    annual return to the Department shall also disclose the  cost
17    of goods sold by the taxpayer during the year covered by such
18    return,  opening  and  closing  inventories of such goods for
19    such year, cost of goods used from stock or taken from  stock
20    and  given  away  by  the taxpayer during such year, pay roll
21    information of the taxpayer's business during such  year  and
22    any  additional  reasonable  information which the Department
23    deems would be helpful in determining  the  accuracy  of  the
24    monthly,  quarterly  or annual returns filed by such taxpayer
25    as hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
26        If the annual information return required by this Section
27    is not filed when and as  required,  the  taxpayer  shall  be
28    liable as follows:
29             (i)  Until  January  1,  1994, the taxpayer shall be
30        liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of  the  tax  due
31        from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
32        covered  by  the annual return for each month or fraction
33        of a month until such return is filed  as  required,  the
34        penalty  to  be assessed and collected in the same manner
 
                            -41-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1        as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
 2             (ii)  On and after January  1,  1994,  the  taxpayer
 3        shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
 4        of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
 5        The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
 6    ranking  manager  shall sign the annual return to certify the
 7    accuracy of the information contained  therein.   Any  person
 8    who  willfully  signs  the  annual return containing false or
 9    inaccurate  information  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury   and
10    punished  accordingly.   The annual return form prescribed by
11    the Department  shall  include  a  warning  that  the  person
12    signing the return may be liable for perjury.
13        The  foregoing  portion  of  this  Section concerning the
14    filing of an annual information return shall not apply  to  a
15    serviceman  who  is not required to file an income tax return
16    with the United States Government.
17        As soon as possible after the first day  of  each  month,
18    upon   certification   of  the  Department  of  Revenue,  the
19    Comptroller shall order transferred and the  Treasurer  shall
20    transfer  from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
21    Fund an amount equal to  1.7%  of  80%  of  the  net  revenue
22    realized  under  this  Act  for  the  second preceding month;
23    except that this transfer shall not be made  for  the  months
24    February through June, 1992.
25        Net  revenue  realized  for  a month shall be the revenue
26    collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the  amount
27    paid  out  during  that  month  as  refunds  to taxpayers for
28    overpayment of liability.
29        For greater simplicity of  administration,  it  shall  be
30    permissible  for  manufacturers,  importers  and  wholesalers
31    whose  products  are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois,
32    and who wish to do  so,  to  assume  the  responsibility  for
33    accounting  and  paying  to  the  Department all tax accruing
34    under this Act with respect to such sales, if the  servicemen

19        tangible personal property at retail in this State;
20             3.  Total  amount of receipts received by him during
21        the preceding calendar month or quarter, as the case  may
22        be,  from  sales  of tangible personal property, and from

24        month or quarter;
25             4.  Total  amount  received  by   him   during   the

 7        Department may require.
 8        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
 9    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
10    the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown  to
11    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
12        Each  return  shall  be  accompanied  by the statement of
13    prepaid tax issued pursuant to Section 2e for which credit is

17    provided in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the  purchaser
18    provides the appropriate documentation as required by Section

20    certification, accepted by a retailer as provided in  Section
21    3-85  of  the  Use  Tax  Act, may be used by that retailer to
22    satisfy Retailers' Occupation Tax  liability  in  the  amount
23    claimed  in  the  certification,  not  to exceed 6.25% of the
24    receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase.
25        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
26    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar

32    stating:

14    or creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less
15    than  50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents
16    or more.
17        Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an  average
18    monthly  tax  liability  of  $150,000  or more shall make all
19    payments required by rules of the  Department  by  electronic
20    funds  transfer.   Beginning  October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
21    has an average monthly tax  liability  of  $100,000  or  more
22    shall  make  all payments required by rules of the Department
23    by electronic funds transfer.  Beginning October 1,  1995,  a
24    taxpayer  who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
25    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
26    Department  by  electronic funds transfer.  The term "average
27    monthly tax liability" shall be the  sum  of  the  taxpayer's
28    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
29    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
30    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
31    divided by 12.
32        Before August 1 of  each  year  beginning  in  1993,  the
33    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
34    payments   by   electronic  funds  transfer.   All  taxpayers
 
                            -45-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    required to make payments by electronic funds transfer  shall
 2    make  those  payments  for a minimum of one year beginning on
 3    October 1.
 4        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic
 5    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
 6    with the permission of the Department.
 7        All  taxpayers  required  to  make  payment by electronic
 8    funds transfer and any taxpayers  authorized  to  voluntarily
 9    make  payments  by electronic funds transfer shall make those
10    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
11        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
12    effectuate a program of electronic  funds  transfer  and  the
13    requirements of this Section.
14        Any  amount  which is required to be shown or reported on
15    any return or other document under this Act  shall,  if  such
16    amount  is  not  a  whole-dollar  amount, be increased to the
17    nearest whole-dollar amount in any case where the  fractional
18    part  of  a  dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the
19    nearest whole-dollar amount where the fractional  part  of  a
20    dollar is less than 50 cents.
21        If  the  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
22    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
23    the Department does  not  exceed  $200,  the  Department  may
24    authorize  his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
25    with the return for January, February and March  of  a  given
26    year  being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
27    April, May and June of a given year being due by July  20  of
28    such  year; with the return for July, August and September of
29    a given year being due by October 20 of such year,  and  with
30    the return for October, November and December of a given year
31    being due by January 20 of the following year.
32        If  the  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
33    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
34    liability with  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50,  the
 
                            -46-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
 2    basis,  with the return for a given year being due by January
 3    20 of the following year.
 4        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
 5    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
 6    monthly returns.
 7        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
 8    concerning  the  time  within  which  a retailer may file his
 9    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
10    kind of business  which  makes  him  responsible  for  filing
11    returns  under  this  Act,  such  retailer shall file a final
12    return under this Act with the Department not more  than  one
13    month after discontinuing such business.
14        Where   the  same  person  has  more  than  one  business
15    registered with the Department under  separate  registrations
16    under  this Act, such person may not file each return that is
17    due  as  a  single  return  covering  all   such   registered
18    businesses,  but  shall  file  separate returns for each such
19    registered business.
20        In addition, with respect to motor vehicles,  watercraft,
21    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
22    with an agency of this State,  every  retailer  selling  this
23    kind  of  tangible  personal  property  shall  file, with the
24    Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by  the
25    Department,  a separate return for each such item of tangible
26    personal property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except  that
27    where,  in  the  same  transaction,  a  retailer of aircraft,
28    watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers  transfers  more  than
29    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
30    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor  vehicle  retailer  or  trailer
31    retailer  for  the  purpose of resale, that seller for resale
32    may report the transfer of all  aircraft,  watercraft,  motor
33    vehicles  or  trailers  involved  in  that transaction to the
34    Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction  reporting

 2    means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in
 3    Section 3-2 of  the  Boat  Registration  and  Safety  Act,  a
 4    personal  watercraft,  or  any  boat equipped with an inboard
 5    motor.
 6        Any retailer who sells only motor  vehicles,  watercraft,
 7    aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
 8    an  agency  of  this State, so that all retailers' occupation
 9    tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
10    such transaction reporting returns and who is  not  otherwise
11    required  to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
12    monthly or quarterly returns.  However, those retailers shall
13    be required to file returns on an annual basis.
14        The transaction reporting return, in the  case  of  motor
15    vehicles  or trailers that are required to be registered with
16    an agency of this State, shall be the same  document  as  the
17    Uniform  Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois
18    Vehicle Code and must  show  the  name  and  address  of  the
19    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
20    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
21    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
22    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
23    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
24    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
25    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
26    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
27    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
28    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or

31    place  and  date  of the sale; a sufficient identification of
32    the property sold; such other information as is  required  in
33    Section  5-402  of  The Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other

10    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer

20    is  being  sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time
21    sooner than that if he chooses to  do  so.   The  transaction
22    reporting  return  and  tax  remittance or proof of exemption
23    from  the  Illinois  use  tax  may  be  transmitted  to   the
24    Department  by  way  of the State agency with which, or State
25    officer with whom the  tangible  personal  property  must  be
26    titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
27    if  the Department and such agency or State officer determine
28    that  this  procedure  will  expedite   the   processing   of
29    applications for title or registration.
30        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
31    shall  remit  the  proper  amount of tax due (or shall submit
32    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
33    the case), to the Department or  its  agents,  whereupon  the
34    Department  shall  issue,  in the purchaser's name, a use tax
 
                            -49-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the  Department  is
 2    satisfied  that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
 3    purchaser may submit to  the  agency  with  which,  or  State
 4    officer  with  whom,  he  must title or register the tangible
 5    personal  property  that   is   involved   (if   titling   or
 6    registration  is  required)  in  support  of such purchaser's
 7    application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence  of
 8    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
 9        No  retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
10    Act precludes a user, who has paid  the  proper  tax  to  the
11    retailer,  from  obtaining  his certificate of title or other
12    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
13    is required) upon satisfying the Department  that  such  user
14    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
15    Department  shall  adopt  appropriate  rules to carry out the
16    mandate of this paragraph.
17        If the user who would otherwise pay tax to  the  retailer
18    wants  the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
19    of the tax or proof  of  exemption  made  to  the  Department
20    before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
21    user  has  not  paid  the  tax to the retailer, such user may
22    certify to the fact of such delay by  the  retailer  and  may
23    (upon  the  Department  being  satisfied of the truth of such
24    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
25    transaction reporting return and the remittance  for  tax  or
26    proof  of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
27    tax receipt or exemption determination, in  which  event  the
28    transaction  reporting  return  and  tax remittance (if a tax
29    payment was required) shall be credited by the Department  to
30    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
31    without  the  2.1%  or  1.75%  discount  provided for in this
32    Section being allowed.  When the user pays the  tax  directly
33    to  the  Department,  he shall pay the tax in the same amount
34    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
 
                            -50-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
 2        Refunds made by the seller during  the  preceding  return
 3    period   to  purchasers,  on  account  of  tangible  personal
 4    property returned to  the  seller,  shall  be  allowed  as  a
 5    deduction  under  subdivision  5  of his monthly or quarterly
 6    return,  as  the  case  may  be,  in  case  the  seller   had
 7    theretofore  included  the  receipts  from  the  sale of such
 8    tangible personal property in a return filed by him  and  had
 9    paid  the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act  with  respect to such
10    receipts.
11        Where the seller is a corporation, the  return  filed  on
12    behalf  of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
13    vice-president, secretary or treasurer  or  by  the  properly
14    accredited agent of such corporation.
15        Where  the  seller  is  a  limited liability company, the
16    return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
17    be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited  agent
18    of the limited liability company.
19        Except  as  provided in this Section, the retailer filing
20    the return under this Section shall, at the  time  of  filing
21    such  return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed
22    by this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,  1990
23    and  1.75%  on  and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
24    year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
25    retailer  for  the  expenses  incurred  in  keeping  records,
26    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
27    data to the  Department  on  request.   Any  prepayment  made
28    pursuant  to  Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
29    amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed.   In
30    the  case  of  retailers  who  report  and  pay  the tax on a
31    transaction  by  transaction  basis,  as  provided  in   this
32    Section,  such  discount  shall  be  taken with each such tax
33    remittance instead of when such retailer files  his  periodic
34    return.

 1        If  the  taxpayer's  average monthly tax liability to the
 2    Department under this Act,  the  Use  Tax  Act,  the  Service
 3    Occupation  Tax  Act,  and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding
 4    any liability  for  prepaid  sales  tax  to  be  remitted  in
 5    accordance  with  Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000 or more
 6    during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters,  he  shall
 7    file  a return with the Department each month by the 20th day
 8    of the month next following the month during which  such  tax
 9    liability   is  incurred  and  shall  make  payments  to  the
10    Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last  day  of
11    the  month  during  which such liability is incurred.  If the
12    month during which such tax liability is incurred began prior
13    to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount  equal
14    to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an
15    amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average
16    monthly  liability  of the taxpayer to the Department for the
17    preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding  the  month
18    of  highest  liability  and  the month of lowest liability in
19    such 4 quarter period).  If the month during which  such  tax
20    liability  is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
21    prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an  amount
22    equal  to  22.5%  of  the taxpayer's actual liability for the
23    month or 27.5% of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same
24    calendar  month  of  the preceding year.  If the month during
25    which such tax liability  is  incurred  begins  on  or  after
26    January  1,  1987  and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
27    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
28    liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
29    for the same calendar month of the preceding  year.   If  the
30    month  during  which such tax liability is incurred begins on
31    or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January  1,  1989,  or
32    begins  on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in
33    an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability
34    for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
 
                            -52-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    calendar  month  of  the  preceding year. If the month during
 2    which such tax liability  is  incurred  begins  on  or  after
 3    January  1,  1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment
 4    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
 5    liability for the month or 25% of  the  taxpayer's  liability
 6    for  the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of
 7    the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the  quarter  monthly
 8    reporting   period.   The  amount  of  such  quarter  monthly
 9    payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
10    the taxpayer's return for that month.  Once  applicable,  the
11    requirement  of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
12    Department  by  taxpayers  having  an  average  monthly   tax
13    liability  of  $10,000  or  more  as determined in the manner
14    provided above shall continue until such  taxpayer's  average
15    monthly  liability  to  the Department during the preceding 4
16    complete calendar quarters (excluding the  month  of  highest
17    liability  and  the  month  of lowest liability) is less than
18    $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
19    the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
20    preceding complete  calendar  quarter  period  is  less  than
21    $10,000.  However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that
22    a  substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
23    which causes the taxpayer  to  anticipate  that  his  average
24    monthly  tax  liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
25    will fall below $10,000, then such taxpayer may petition  the
26    Department  for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
27    The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting  status
28    unless  it  finds  that such change is seasonal in nature and
29    not likely to be long term.   If  any  such  quarter  monthly
30    payment  is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
31    this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
32    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
33    as a payment and the amount of such quarter  monthly  payment
34    actually  and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has
 
                            -53-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    previously made payments for that month to the Department  in
 2    excess  of the minimum payments previously due as provided in
 3    this Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules  and
 4    regulations  to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
 5    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
 6    than a calendar monthly basis.
 7        Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to  make
 8    quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
 9    is  required  by  Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
10    prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes  which  average
11    in  excess  of  $25,000  per  month  during  the  preceding 2
12    complete calendar quarters, shall  file  a  return  with  the
13    Department  as required by Section 2f and shall make payments
14    to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd  and  last
15    day of the month during which such liability is incurred.  If
16    the  month  during which such tax liability is incurred began
17    prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act  of  1985,
18    each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
19    taxpayer's  actual  liability under Section 2d.  If the month
20    during which such tax liability  is  incurred  begins  on  or
21    after  January  1,  1986,  each payment shall be in an amount
22    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
23    month  or  27.5%  of  the  taxpayer's  liability for the same
24    calendar month of the preceding calendar year.  If the  month
25    during  which  such  tax  liability  is incurred begins on or
26    after January 1, 1987, each payment shall  be  in  an  amount
27    equal  to  22.5%  of  the taxpayer's actual liability for the
28    month or 26.25% of the  taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same
29    calendar  month  of  the  preceding year.  The amount of such
30    quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the  final
31    tax  liability  of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
32    under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may  be.   Once
33    applicable,  the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
34    payments to the Department pursuant to this  paragraph  shall
 
                            -54-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    continue  until  such  taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
 2    collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
 3    is $25,000 or less.  If any such quarter monthly  payment  is
 4    not  paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
 5    shall  be  liable  for  penalties  and   interest   on   such
 6    difference,  except  insofar  as  the taxpayer has previously
 7    made payments  for  that  month  in  excess  of  the  minimum
 8    payments previously due.
 9        If  any  payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
10    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax  Act,  the
11    Service  Occupation  Tax  Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
12    shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
13    requested by the taxpayer, issue to  the  taxpayer  a  credit
14    memorandum  no  later than 30 days after the date of payment.
15    The  credit  evidenced  by  such  credit  memorandum  may  be
16    assigned by the taxpayer to a  similar  taxpayer  under  this
17    Act,  the  Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
18    Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules  and
19    regulations  to  be prescribed by the Department.  If no such
20    request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess  payment
21    against  tax  liability  subsequently  to  be remitted to the
22    Department under this Act,  the  Use  Tax  Act,  the  Service
23    Occupation  Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance
24    with reasonable  rules  and  regulations  prescribed  by  the
25    Department.   If  the Department subsequently determined that
26    all or any part of the credit taken was not actually  due  to
27    the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
28    shall  be  reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between
29    the credit taken and that actually  due,  and  that  taxpayer
30    shall   be   liable   for  penalties  and  interest  on  such
31    difference.
32        If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
33    Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
34    to the Department under this Act  for  the  month  which  the
 
                            -55-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    taxpayer  is  filing a return, the Department shall issue the
 2    taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
 3        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
 4    shall  pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund
 5    in the State  treasury  which  is  hereby  created,  the  net
 6    revenue  realized  for the preceding month from the 1% tax on
 7    sales of food for human consumption which is to  be  consumed
 8    off  the  premises  where  it  is  sold (other than alcoholic
 9    beverages, soft drinks and food which has been  prepared  for
10    immediate  consumption)  and prescription and nonprescription
11    medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and  insulin,  urine
12    testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
13        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
14    shall  pay  into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a
15    special fund in the State treasury which is  hereby  created,
16    4%  of  the net revenue realized for the preceding month from
17    the 6.25% general rate.
18        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
19    shall  pay  into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
20    revenue realized for  the  preceding  month  from  the  6.25%
21    general  rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible personal
22    property.
23        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
24    pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall  be  paid  into
25    the  Build  Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
26    and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8%  thereof  shall  be  paid
27    into  the  Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
28    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
29    as the case may be, of the moneys received by the  Department
30    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
31    to  this  Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the
32    Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service  Occupation
33    Tax  Act,  such  Acts being hereinafter called the "Tax Acts"
34    and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case  may  be,  of

 1    moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2)
 2    the  amount  transferred  to the Build Illinois Fund from the
 3    State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be less than  the
 4    Annual  Specified  Amount (as hereinafter defined), an amount
 5    equal to the difference shall be immediately  paid  into  the
 6    Build  Illinois  Fund  from  other  moneys  received  by  the
 7    Department  pursuant  to  the Tax Acts; the "Annual Specified
 8    Amount" means the amounts specified below  for  fiscal  years
 9    1986 through 1993:
10             Fiscal Year              Annual Specified Amount

20    defined in Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act) or  the
21    Tax  Act  Amount,  whichever is greater, for fiscal year 1994
22    and each fiscal year thereafter; and further  provided,  that
23    if  on  the last business day of any month the sum of (1) the
24    Tax Act Amount  required  to  be  deposited  into  the  Build
25    Illinois  Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such
26    month and (2) the amount transferred to  the  Build  Illinois
27    Fund  from  the  State  and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall
28    have been less than 1/12 of the Annual Specified  Amount,  an
29    amount equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into
30    the  Build  Illinois  Fund  from other moneys received by the
31    Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and,  further  provided,
32    that  in  no  event  shall  the  payments  required under the
33    preceding proviso result in aggregate payments into the Build
34    Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year
 
                            -57-              LRB9101596PTpkA
 1    in excess of the greater of (i) the Tax Act  Amount  or  (ii)
 2    the  Annual  Specified  Amount  for  such  fiscal  year.  The
 3    amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under clause (b)
 4    of the first sentence in this paragraph shall be payable only
 5    until such time as the aggregate amount on deposit under each
 6    trust  indenture  securing  Bonds  issued   and   outstanding
 7    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking
 8    into  account any future investment income, to fully provide,
 9    in accordance with such indenture, for the defeasance  of  or
10    the  payment  of  the  principal  of,  premium,  if  any, and
11    interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture  and  on  any
12    Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees and costs
13    payable  with  respect  thereto,  all  as  certified  by  the
14    Director  of  the  Bureau  of  the  Budget.   If  on the last
15    business day of any month  in  which  Bonds  are  outstanding
16    pursuant  to  the  Build  Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of
17    moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond  Account  in  the
18    Build  Illinois  Fund  in  such  month shall be less than the
19    amount required to be transferred  in  such  month  from  the
20    Build  Illinois  Bond  Account  to  the  Build  Illinois Bond
21    Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section  13  of  the
22    Build  Illinois  Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
23    shall be immediately paid from other moneys received  by  the
24    Department  pursuant  to  the  Tax Acts to the Build Illinois
25    Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to  the  Build
26    Illinois  Fund  in  any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
27    shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
28    of the first sentence of this paragraph and shall reduce  the
29    amount  otherwise  payable  for  such fiscal year pursuant to
30    that clause (b).   The  moneys  received  by  the  Department
31    pursuant  to  this  Act and required to be deposited into the
32    Build Illinois Fund are subject  to  the  pledge,  claim  and

 8    upon  certification  of  the  Department  of   Revenue,   the
 9    Comptroller  shall  order transferred and the Treasurer shall
10    transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel  Tax

19        For  greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
20    importers and wholesalers whose products are sold  at  retail
21    in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
22    assume  the  responsibility  for accounting and paying to the
23    Department all tax accruing under this Act  with  respect  to
24    such  sales,  if  the  retailers who are affected do not make
25    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.

 5    next following the month during which the event  with  retail
 6    sales  was  held.   Any  person  who  fails  to file a report
 7    required by this Section commits a business  offense  and  is
 8    subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
 9        Any  person  engaged  in the business of selling tangible
10    personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type

15    of the amount of such sales to the Department and to  make  a
16    daily  payment of the full amount of tax due.  The Department
17    shall impose this requirement when it finds that there  is  a
18    significant  risk  of loss of revenue to the State at such an
19    exhibition or event.   Such  a  finding  shall  be  based  on
20    evidence  that  a  substantial  number  of concessionaires or
21    other sellers who are  not  residents  of  Illinois  will  be
22    engaging   in  the  business  of  selling  tangible  personal
23    property at retail at  the  exhibition  or  event,  or  other
24    evidence  of  a  significant  risk  of loss of revenue to the
25    State.  The Department shall notify concessionaires and other
26    sellers affected by the imposition of this  requirement.   In
27    the   absence   of   notification   by  the  Department,  the
28    concessionaires and other sellers shall file their returns as
29    otherwise required in this Section.
