 1        AN ACT regarding taxes.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.   The  Use  Tax  Act  is  amended by changing
 5    Section 3-10 as follows:

 6        (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
 7        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
 8    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
 9    6.25% of either the selling price or the fair  market  value,
10    if  any,  of  the  tangible  personal property.  In all cases
11    where property functionally used or consumed is the  same  as
12    the  property  that  was purchased at retail, then the tax is
13    imposed on the selling price of the property.  In  all  cases
14    where  property functionally used or consumed is a by-product
15    or waste product that  has  been  refined,  manufactured,  or
16    produced  from  property purchased at retail, then the tax is
17    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
18    specific property so used in this State  or  on  the  selling
19    price  of  the  property purchased at retail. For purposes of
20    this Section "fair market value" means  the  price  at  which
21    property  would  change  hands  between a willing buyer and a
22    willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy  or
23    sell  and  both  having  reasonable knowledge of the relevant
24    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
25    sales  by  the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property   as   that
26    functionally  used or consumed, or if there are no such sales
27    by the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases  of
28    property of like kind and character in Illinois.
29        Beginning  on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000,
30    with respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of  the
31    Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40

 1    of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
 2        With respect to gasohol, the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act
 3    applies  to  70%  of  the  proceeds of sales made on or after
 4    January 1, 1990, and before January 1, 2002 July 1, 2003, and
 5    to 100% of the proceeds of sales made thereafter.
 6        With respect to food for human consumption that is to  be
 7    consumed  off  the  premises  where  it  is  sold (other than
 8    alcoholic beverages, soft drinks,  and  food  that  has  been
 9    prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription and
10    nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,   medical   appliances,
11    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
12    it usable by a disabled person, and  insulin,  urine  testing
13    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
14    use,  the  tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For the purposes
15    of this Section, the term "soft drinks" means  any  complete,
16    finished,    ready-to-use,   non-alcoholic   drink,   whether
17    carbonated or not, including but not limited to  soda  water,
18    cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
19    other  preparations commonly known as soft drinks of whatever
20    kind or description that  are  contained  in  any  closed  or
21    sealed bottle, can, carton, or container, regardless of size.

23    water, infant formula, milk or milk products  as  defined  in
24    the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
25    containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
26        Notwithstanding  any  other provisions of this Act, "food
27    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
28    where it is sold" includes all food sold  through  a  vending
29    machine,  except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that are
30    dispensed hot from  a  vending  machine,  regardless  of  the
31    location of the vending machine.
32        If  the  property  that  is  purchased  at  retail from a
33    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside
34    Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
 
                            -3-               LRB9203341SMdvB
 1    taxable under this Act, the "selling price" on which the  tax
 2    is  computed  shall be reduced by an amount that represents a
 3    reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
 4    out-of-state use.

10        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
11    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
12    6.25% of the selling  price  of  tangible  personal  property
13    transferred  as  an incident to the sale of service, but, for
14    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
15    selling  price be less than the cost price of the property to
16    the serviceman.
17        Beginning on July 1, 2000 and through December 31,  2000,
18    with  respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of the

29    annual  cost  price of tangible personal property transferred
30    as an incident to the sales of service is less than  35%,  or

32    or  servicemen  engaged  in  graphic  arts production, of the

 1    aggregate annual total  gross  receipts  from  all  sales  of
 2    service,  the  tax  imposed by this Act shall be based on the
 3    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
 4    transferred as an incident to the sale of those services.
 5        The  tax  shall  be  imposed  at  the  rate of 1% on food

 2    location of the vending machine.
 3        If the property that is acquired  from  a  serviceman  is
 4    acquired  outside  Illinois  and used outside Illinois before
 5    being brought to Illinois for use here and is  taxable  under
 6    this  Act,  the  "selling price" on which the tax is computed
 7    shall be reduced by an amount that  represents  a  reasonable
 8    allowance   for   depreciation   for   the  period  of  prior
 9    out-of-state use.

13        Section 15.  The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
14    changing Section 3-10 as follows:

15        (35 ILCS 115/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)

18    6.25% of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of  the
19    Service  Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.  For
20    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
21    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
22    of  the  tangible personal property transferred.  The selling
23    price of each item of tangible personal property  transferred
24    as  an  incident  of  a  sale  of  service  may be shown as a
25    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
26    service customer. If the selling price is not so  shown,  the
27    selling  price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
28    be 50% of the serviceman's  entire  billing  to  the  service
29    customer.   When,  however, a serviceman contracts to design,
30    develop, and produce special order  machinery  or  equipment,
31    the   tax   imposed  by  this  Act  shall  be  based  on  the
32    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property

10    2002 July 1, 2003, and to 100% of the cost price thereafter.

15    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
16    or servicemen engaged in  graphic  arts  production,  of  the
17    aggregate  annual  total  gross  receipts  from  all sales of
18    service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be  based  on  the
19    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
20    transferred incident to the sale of those services.
21        The tax shall be imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food
22    prepared  for  immediate consumption and transferred incident
23    to a sale of service subject  to  this  Act  or  the  Service
24    Occupation  Tax  Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
25    Licensing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, or the  Child  Care
26    Act of 1969.  The tax shall also be imposed at the rate of 1%
27    on  food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
28    premises where it is sold (other  than  alcoholic  beverages,
29    soft  drinks,  and  food that has been prepared for immediate
30    consumption and is not otherwise included in this  paragraph)
31    and   prescription   and  nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,
32    medical appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for  the
33    purpose  of  rendering  it  usable  by a disabled person, and
