11    on  or  before  the  15th  day  of  each  month each retailer

13    return  to  the  Department for the preceding calendar month,
14    stating:
15             1.  His name;
16             2.  The address of his principal place of  business,
17        and  the  address  of the principal place of business (if
18        that is a different address) from which he engages in the
19        business of transmitting telecommunications;
20             3.  Total amount of  gross  charges  billed  by  him
21        during   the   preceding  calendar  month  for  providing
22        telecommunications during such calendar month;
 
                            -2-              LRB9104061MWpcam
 1             4.  Total  amount  received  by   him   during   the
 2        preceding calendar month on credit extended;
 3             5.  Deductions allowed by law;
 4             6.  Gross  charges  which  were billed by him during
 5        the preceding calendar month and upon the basis of  which
 6        the tax is imposed;
 7             7.  Amount of tax (computed upon Item 6);
 8             8.  Such   other   reasonable   information  as  the
 9        Department may require.
10        Any taxpayer required to make payments under this Section
11    may make the payments  by  electronic  funds  transfer.   The
12    Department  shall  adopt  rules  necessary  to  effectuate  a
13    program of electronic funds transfer.
14        If the retailer's average monthly tax billings due to the
15    Department  do  not exceed $100, the Department may authorize
16    his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,  with  the
17    return  for January, February and March of a given year being
18    due by April 15 of such year; with the return for April,  May
19    and  June  of a given year being due by July 15 of such year;
20    with the return for July, August and  September  of  a  given
21    year  being  due  by  October  15  of such year; and with the
22    return of October, November and  December  of  a  given  year
23    being due by January 15 of the following year.
24        Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this  Article
25    containing  the  time  within  which  a retailer may file his
26    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
27    kind of business  which  makes  him  responsible  for  filing
28    returns  under this Article, such retailer shall file a final
29    return under this Article with the Department not  more  than
30    one month after discontinuing such business.
31        In  making  such return, the retailer shall determine the
32    value of any consideration other than money received  by  him
33    and  he  shall  include  such  value  in  his  return.   Such
34    determination  shall be subject to review and revision by the
 
                            -3-              LRB9104061MWpcam
 1    Department  in  the  manner  hereinafter  provided  for   the
 2    correction of returns.
 3        Each  retailer  whose  average  monthly  liability to the
 4    Department under this Article was $10,000 or more during  the
 5    preceding  calendar  year,  excluding  the  month  of highest
 6    liability and the month of lowest liability in such  calendar
 7    year,  and who is not operated by a unit of local government,
 8    shall make estimated payments to the Department on or  before
 9    the  7th,  15th,  22nd and last day of the month during which
10    tax collection liability to the Department is incurred in  an
11    amount  not  less  than  the  lower  of  either  22.5% of the
12    retailer's actual tax collections for the month or 25% of the
13    retailer's actual tax collections for the same calendar month
14    of the preceding year.  The amount of  such  quarter  monthly
15    payments shall be credited against the final liability of the
16    retailer's  return  for  that month.  Any outstanding credit,
17    approved by  the  Department,  arising  from  the  retailer's
18    overpayment  of  its  final  liability  for  any month may be
19    applied to  reduce  the  amount  of  any  subsequent  quarter
20    monthly  payment  or  credited against the final liability of
21    the retailer's return  for  any  subsequent  month.   If  any
22    quarter  monthly  payment  is  not paid at the time or in the
23    amount required by this Section, the retailer shall be liable
24    for penalty  and  interest  on  the  difference  between  the
25    minimum  amount  due  as  a  payment  and  the amount of such
26    payment actually and  timely  paid,  except  insofar  as  the
27    retailer  has  previously made payments for that month to the
28    Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
29        If the Director finds that the information  required  for
30    the  making  of  an  accurate  return  cannot  reasonably  be
31    compiled  by a retailer within 15 days after the close of the
32    calendar month for which a return is to be made, he may grant
33    an extension of time for the filing  of  such  return  for  a
34    period  of  not  to exceed 31 calendar days.  The granting of
 
                            -4-              LRB9104061MWpcam
 1    such an extension may be conditioned upon the deposit by  the
 2    retailer  with  the  Department  of  an  amount  of money not
 3    exceeding the amount estimated by the Director to be due with
 4    the return so extended.  All  such  deposits,  including  any
 5    heretofore  made  with  the  Department,  shall  be  credited
 6    against  the  retailer's  liabilities under this Article.  If
 7    any such deposit exceeds the retailer's present and  probable
 8    future  liabilities  under this Article, the Department shall
 9    issue to the retailer  a  credit  memorandum,  which  may  be
10    assigned  by  the  retailer  to a similar retailer under this
11    Article, in accordance with reasonable rules and  regulations
12    to be prescribed by the Department.
13        The retailer making the return herein provided for shall,
14    at  the time of making such return, pay to the Department the
15    amount of tax herein imposed. On and after the effective date
16    of this Article of 1985, $1,000,000 of the moneys received by
17    the Department of Revenue pursuant to this Article  shall  be
18    paid each month into the Common School Fund and the remainder
19    into the General Revenue Fund. On and after February 1, 1998,
20    however,  of the moneys received by the Department of Revenue
21    pursuant to the additional taxes imposed by  this  amendatory
22    Act  of  1997  one-half  shall  be  deposited into the School
23    Infrastructure Fund and one-half shall be deposited into  the
24    Common  School  Fund. On and after the effective date of this
25    amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, if in any fiscal
26    year the total  of  the  moneys  deposited  into  the  School
27    Infrastructure  Fund under this Act is less than the total of
28    the moneys deposited into that Fund from the additional taxes
29    imposed by Public Act 90-548 during fiscal year  1999,  then,
30    as  soon  as possible after the close of the fiscal year, the
31    Comptroller shall order transferred and the  Treasurer  shall
32    transfer   from  the  General  Revenue  Fund  to  the  School
33    Infrastructure Fund an amount equal to the difference between
34    the fiscal year total deposits and the total amount deposited
 
                            -5-              LRB9104061MWpcam
