A BILL FOR

 

HB2079LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1    AN ACT concerning revenue.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section 9
5as follows:
 
6    (35 ILCS 105/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
7    Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
8and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
9of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
10the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
11amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
12when he is required to file his return for the period during
13which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
14January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
15per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
16reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
17tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
18the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. On and
19after January 1, 1990 and prior to January 1, 2020, in no event
20shall the discount allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any
21calendar year. On and after January 1, 2020, in no event shall
22the discount allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any
23calendar year or more than $1,000 in any calendar year. In the

 

 

HB2079- 2 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
2by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
3discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
4of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount
5allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are
6filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
7disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
8registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
9only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
10registration has become final. A retailer need not remit that
11part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is
12required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the
13Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the
14same property.
15    Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
16conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
17wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
18extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
19filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
20vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
21to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
22each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
23the selling price actually received during such tax return
24period.
25    Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
26twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file

 

 

HB2079- 3 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
2filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
3such information as the Department may reasonably require. On
4and after January 1, 2018, except for returns for motor
5vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
6to be registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
7retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,
8all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
9filed electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do
10not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in
11filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the
12electronic filing requirement.
13    The Department may require returns to be filed on a
14quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
15quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
16calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
17taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
18of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
19the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
20        1. The name of the seller;
21        2. The address of the principal place of business from
22    which he engages in the business of selling tangible
23    personal property at retail in this State;
24        3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
25    during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
26    personal property by him during such preceding calendar

 

 

HB2079- 4 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1    month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
2    less all deductions allowed by law;
3        4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
4    Act;
5        5. The amount of tax due;
6        5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
7        6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
8    may require.
9    If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
10the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
11the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
12due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
13    Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
14monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
15payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
16funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
17an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
18all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
19funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
20an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make

23an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all

1other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
2by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
3The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
4taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
5State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
6Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
7divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
8a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
9Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
10all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
11funds transfer.
12    Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
13Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
14by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
15payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
16for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
17    Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
18funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
19with the permission of the Department.
20    All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
21transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
22payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
23in the manner authorized by the Department.
24    The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
25effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
26requirements of this Section.

 

 

HB2079- 6 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
2tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
3Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service
4Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
5calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
6each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
7month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
8make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
922nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
10incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
11average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
12the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
13Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
14preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
15with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
16next following the month during which such tax liability is
17incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
18the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
19liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
20liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
21payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
22actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
23Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
24of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
25calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
26the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the

 

 

HB2079- 7 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
2after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
3payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
4actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
5liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
6the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
7or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
8payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
9actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
10liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
11the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
12or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
13begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
14amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
15the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
16calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
17such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
181989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
19amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
20the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
21calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
22actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
23amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
24against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
25that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
26requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the

 

 

HB2079- 8 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
2monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
3complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
4liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
5$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
6the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
7preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
8$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
9substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
10which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
11monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
12will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
13taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
14taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
15applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
16payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
17average monthly liability to the Department during the
18preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
19highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
20than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
21to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
224 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
23$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
24substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
25which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
26monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future

 

 

HB2079- 9 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
2taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
3taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
4taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
5seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
6quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
7amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
8liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
9minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
10payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
11taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
12Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
13provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
14rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
15amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
16on other than a calendar monthly basis.
17    If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
18the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
19Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
20Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
21the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
22no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
23memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
24in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
25taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
26similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax

 

 

HB2079- 10 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
2in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
3prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
4payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
5after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
6unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
7the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
8liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
9Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
10the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
11accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
12the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
13all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
14taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
15be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
16credit taken and that actually due multiplied by the vendor
17discount amount, and the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
18and interest on such difference.
19    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
20return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
21the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
22authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
23with the return for January, February, and March of a given
24year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
25April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
26year; with the return for July, August and September of a given

 

 

HB2079- 11 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
2for October, November and December of a given year being due by
3January 20 of the following year.
4    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
5quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
6liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
7may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
8the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
9following year.
10    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
11substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
12returns.
13    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
14the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
15case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
16which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
17such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
18Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
19business.
20    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
21aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
22an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
23Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
24property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
25prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
26for each such item of tangible personal property which the

 

 

HB2079- 12 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
2retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
3transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
4trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
5trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
6of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
7more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
8to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
9provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
10report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
11vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
12Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
13return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a
14Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
153-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
16watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
17    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
18aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
19an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
20business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
21connection with such business, sells any such item to a
22retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
23other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
24meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the
25transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
26trailers transferred for resale during a month to the

 

 

HB2079- 13 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
2return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
3month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
4other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
5under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
6manner and form as required by the Department.
7    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
8vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
9agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
10Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
11Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
12and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
13including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
14property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
15traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
16which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
17of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
18trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
19tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
20amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
21such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
22due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
23fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
24identification of the property sold; such other information as
25is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
26such other information as the Department may reasonably

 

 

HB2079- 14 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1require.
2    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
3and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
4name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
5price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
6traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
7for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
8extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
9the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
10deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
11the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
12transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
13the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
14such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
15claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
16sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
17information as the Department may reasonably require.
18    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
19than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
20being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
21than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
22return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
23that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
24Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
25officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
26titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)

 

 

HB2079- 15 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
2that this procedure will expedite the processing of
3applications for title or registration.
4    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
5shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
6satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
7the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
8Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
9(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
10that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
11may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
12whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
13that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
14support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
15certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
16tangible personal property.
17    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
18Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
19retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
20evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
21is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
22paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
23Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
24mandate of this paragraph.
25    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
26wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of

 

 

HB2079- 16 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
2retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
3paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
4of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
5being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
6the information required by the transaction reporting return
7and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
8the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
9determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
10and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
11credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
12with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
13provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
14the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
15same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
16if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
17    Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
18selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
19the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
20property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
21the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
22purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
23his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
24purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
25refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
26such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the

 

 

HB2079- 17 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax

16amount of the tax to be deducted shall previously have been
17remitted to the Department by such serviceman. If the
18serviceman shall not previously have remitted the amount of
19such tax to the Department, he shall be entitled to no
20deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
21    If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
22Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint

24returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
25Act, the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, to furnish all

21    All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
22transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make

26effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the

 

 

HB2079- 71 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1requirements of this Section.
2    Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any
3return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
4is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest
5whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a
6dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest

26    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and

 

 

HB2079- 72 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
2returns.
3    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
4the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
5case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
6which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
7such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
8Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
9business.
10    Where the same person has more than one business registered
11with the Department under separate registrations under this
12Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
13single return covering all such registered businesses, but
14shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
15    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
16aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
17an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
18Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
19property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
20prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
21for each such item of tangible personal property which the
22retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
23retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
24transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
25trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
26retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii)

 

 

HB2079- 73 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers
2transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or
3trailer to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
4provided in Section 2-5 of this Act, then that seller may
5report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles
6or trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on
7the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
8For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
9Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the
10Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any
11boat equipped with an inboard motor.
12    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
13aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
14an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
15business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
16connection with such business, sells any such item to a
17retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
18other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
19meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the
20transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
21trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
22Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
23return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
24month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
25other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
26under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the

 

 

HB2079- 74 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

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

 

 

HB2079- 75 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1identification of the property sold; such other information as
2is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
3such other information as the Department may reasonably
4require.
5    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
6or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
7name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
8price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
9traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
10for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
11extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
12the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
13deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
14the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
15transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
16the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
17such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
18claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
19sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
20information as the Department may reasonably require.
21    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
22than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
23being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
24than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
25return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
26Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of

 

 

HB2079- 76 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
2tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
3titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
4agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
5expedite the processing of applications for title or
6registration.
7    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
8shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
9satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
10the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
11Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
12receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
13satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
14purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
15with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
16property that is involved (if titling or registration is
17required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
18Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
19to such tangible personal property.
20    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
21Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
22retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
23evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
24is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
25paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
26Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the

 

 

HB2079- 77 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1mandate of this paragraph.
2    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
3wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
4the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
5retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
6paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
7of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
8being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
9the information required by the transaction reporting return
10and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
11the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
12determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
13and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
14credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
15with the Department, but without the vendor's 2.1% or 1.75%
16discount provided for in this Section being allowed. When the
17user pays the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the
18tax in the same amount and in the same form in which it would be
19remitted if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the
20retailer.
21    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
22period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
23returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
24subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
25may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
26receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a

 

 

HB2079- 78 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
2with respect to such receipts.
3    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
4behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
5vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
6accredited agent of such corporation.
7    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
8filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
9signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
10the limited liability company.
11    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
12return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
13return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
14Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
15on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
16whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
17retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
18preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
19data to the Department on request. On and after January 1, 1990
20and prior to January 1, 2020, in no event shall the discount
21allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any calendar year. On
22and after January 1, 2020, in no event shall the discount
23allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any calendar year or
24more than $1,000 in any calendar year. Any prepayment made
25pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
26amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the

 

 

HB2079- 79 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
2by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
3discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
4of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount
5allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are
6filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
7disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
8registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
9only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
10registration has become final.
11    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
12tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
13Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
14Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
15remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
16or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
17shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
18day of the month next following the month during which such tax
19liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
20on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
21during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
221, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
23Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
24Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
25liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
26with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the

 

 

HB2079- 80 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
2with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
3next following the month during which such tax liability is
4incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
5the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
6liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
7liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
8payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
9actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
10Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
11of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
12calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
13the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
14month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
15after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
16payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
17actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
18liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
19the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
20or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
21payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
22actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
23liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
24the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
25or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
26begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an

 

 

HB2079- 81 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
2the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
3calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
4such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
51989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
6amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
7the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
8calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
9actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
10amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
11against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
12that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
13requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
14Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
15of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
16shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
17to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
18quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
19month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
20taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
21computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
22calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
23taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
24the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
25to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
26reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000

 

 

HB2079- 82 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
2Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
3and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
4the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
5taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
6more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
7until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
8Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
9(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
10lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
11average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
12each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
13quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
14show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
15business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
16that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
17foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
18above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
19change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
20shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
21that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
22long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
23the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
24taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
25difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
26amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely

 

 

HB2079- 83 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
2payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
3minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
4The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
5govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
6payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
7monthly basis.
8    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
92001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
10quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
11is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
12prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
13excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
14calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
15required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
16Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
17month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
18during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
19September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
20each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
21taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
22during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
23January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
2422.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
25of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
26preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax

 

 

HB2079- 84 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
2payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
3actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
4liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
5The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
6against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
7that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
8may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
9quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
10paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
11prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
12calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
13monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
14required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
15interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
16previously made payments for that month in excess of the
17minimum payments previously due.
18    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
191, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
20make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
21who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
22prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
23excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
24calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
25required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
26Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the

 

 

HB2079- 85 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
2shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual

6protests concerning matters that are subject to the
7jurisdiction of the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal shall be
8filed in accordance with the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal
9Act of 2012, and hearings concerning those matters shall be
10held before the Tribunal in accordance with that Act. With
11respect to protests filed with the Department prior to July 1,

5    amount sufficient to discharge his remaining tax liability
6    as determined by the Department under this Act. The
7    Department shall make a final determination of the
8    taxpayer's outstanding tax liability as expeditiously as

12    period it shall so notify the taxpayer, stating its reasons
13    therefor.
14    At the time of purchasing such stamps from the Department
15when purchase is required by this Act, or at the time when the
16tax which he has collected is remitted by a distributor to the
17Department without the purchase of stamps from the Department
18when that method of remitting the tax that has been collected
19is required or authorized by this Act, the distributor shall be
20allowed a discount during any year commencing July 1 and ending
21the following June 30 in accordance with the schedule set out
22hereinbelow, from the amount to be paid by him to the
23Department for such stamps, or to be paid by him to the
24Department on the basis of monthly remittances (as the case may
25be), to cover the cost, to such distributor, of collecting the

17distributor to the Department during any such year and 1.5% of
18the amount of any additional tax paid hereunder by such
19distributor to the Department during any such year. On and
20after January 1, 2020, the discount shall be equal to 1.75% of
21the tax paid by the distributor to the Department under this
22Act during the calendar year; however, on and after January 1,
232020, in no event shall the discount allowed to any distributor
24be less than $5 in any calendar year or more than $1,000 in any
25calendar year.
26    Two or more distributors that use a common means of

 

 

HB2079- 122 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1affixing revenue tax stamps or that are owned or controlled by
2the same interests shall be treated as a single distributor for
3the purpose of computing the discount.
4    Cigarette manufacturers who are distributors under Section
57(a) of this Act, and who place their cigarettes in original
6packages which are contained inside a sealed transparent
7wrapper, shall be required to remit the tax which they are
8required to collect under this Act to the Department by
9remitting the amount thereof to the Department by the 5th day
10of each month, covering cigarettes shipped or otherwise
11delivered to points in Illinois to purchasers during the
12preceding calendar month, but a distributor need not remit to
13the Department the tax so collected by him from purchasers
14under this Act to the extent to which such distributor is
15required to remit the tax imposed by the Cigarette Tax Act to
16the Department with respect to the same cigarettes. All taxes
17upon cigarettes under this Act are a direct tax upon the retail
18consumer and shall conclusively be presumed to be precollected
19for the purpose of convenience and facility only. Cigarette
20manufacturers that are distributors licensed under Section
217(a) of this Act and who place their cigarettes in original
22packages which are contained inside a sealed transparent
23wrapper, before delivering such cigarettes or causing such
24cigarettes to be delivered in this State to purchasers, shall
25evidence their obligation to collect and remit the tax due with
26respect to such cigarettes by imprinting language to be

 

 

HB2079- 123 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1prescribed by the Department on each original package of such
2cigarettes underneath the sealed transparent outside wrapper
3of such original package, in such place thereon and in such
4manner as the Department may prescribe; provided (as stated
5hereinbefore) that this requirement does not apply when such
6distributor is required or authorized by the Cigarette Tax Act
7to place the tax imprint provided for in the last paragraph of
8Section 3 of that Act underneath the sealed transparent wrapper
9of such original package of cigarettes. Such imprinted language
10shall acknowledge the manufacturer's collection and payment of
11or liability for the tax imposed by this Act with respect to
12such cigarettes.
13    The Department shall adopt the design or designs of the tax
14stamps and shall procure the printing of such stamps in such
15amounts and denominations as it deems necessary to provide for
16the affixation of the proper amount of tax stamps to each
17original package of cigarettes.
18    Where tax stamps are required, the Department may authorize
19distributors to affix revenue tax stamps by imprinting tax
20meter stamps upon original packages of cigarettes. The
21Department shall adopt rules and regulations relating to the
22imprinting of such tax meter stamps as will result in payment
23of the proper taxes as herein imposed. No distributor may affix
24revenue tax stamps to original packages of cigarettes by
25imprinting meter stamps thereon unless such distributor has
26first obtained permission from the Department to employ this

 

 

HB2079- 124 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1method of affixation. The Department shall regulate the use of
2tax meters and may, to assure the proper collection of the
3taxes imposed by this Act, revoke or suspend the privilege,
4theretofore granted by the Department to any distributor, to
5imprint tax meter stamps upon original packages of cigarettes.
6    The tax hereby imposed and not paid pursuant to this
7Section shall be paid to the Department directly by any person
8using such cigarettes within this State, pursuant to Section 12
9hereof.
10    A distributor shall not affix, or cause to be affixed, any
11stamp or imprint to a package of cigarettes, as provided for in
12this Section, if the tobacco product manufacturer, as defined
13in Section 10 of the Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act,
14that made or sold the cigarettes has failed to become a
15participating manufacturer, as defined in subdivision (a)(1)
16of Section 15 of the Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act,
17or has failed to create a qualified escrow fund for any
18cigarettes manufactured by the tobacco product manufacturer
19and sold in this State or otherwise failed to bring itself into
20compliance with subdivision (a)(2) of Section 15 of the Tobacco
21Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act.

11October, November and December of a given year being due by
12January 31 of the following year.
13    If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the
14Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize

16a given year being due by January 31 of the following year.
17    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
18substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
19returns.
20    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
21the time within which an operator may file his return, in the
22case of any operator who ceases to engage in a kind of business
23which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
24such operator shall file a final return under this Act with the
25Department not more than 1 month after discontinuing such
26business.

 

 

HB2079- 127 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1    Where the same person has more than 1 business registered
2with the Department under separate registrations under this
3Act, such person shall not file each return that is due as a
4single return covering all such registered businesses, but
5shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
6    In his return, the operator shall determine the value of
7any consideration other than money received by him in
8connection with the renting, leasing or letting of rooms in the
9course of his business and he shall include such value in his
10return. Such determination shall be subject to review and
11revision by the Department in the manner hereinafter provided
12for the correction of returns.

14behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
15vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
16accredited agent of such corporation.
17    The person filing the return herein provided for shall, at

21pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this Act
22less the vendor discount amount a discount of 2.1% or $25 per
23calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
24reimburse the operator for the expenses incurred in keeping
25records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and

2calendar year, whichever is greater. On and after January 1,
32020, the vendor discount amount shall be 1.75% of the proceeds
4collected during the calendar year; however, on and after
5January 1, 2020, in no event shall the discount allowed to any
6person be less than $5 in any calendar year or more than $1,000
7in any calendar year.
8    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
9operator's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
10return, the Department may authorize the operator to credit
11such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
12remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
13reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
14subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
15taken was not actually due to the operator, the operator's
16discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
17between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
18actually due, and that operator shall be liable for penalties
19and interest on such difference.
20    There shall be deposited in the Build Illinois Fund in the
21State Treasury for each State fiscal year 40% of the amount of

14a discount of 2% through June 30, 2003 and 1.75% thereafter
15which is allowed to reimburse the seller for the expenses
16incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing returns,

5Section 5 to report to the Department in making a return, and
6which he had on hand on the date on which the license was
7revoked, and with respect to which no tax had been previously
8paid under this Act.

11exceed $1,000 shall make all payments by electronic funds
12transfer as required by rules of the Department and shall file
13the return required by this Section by electronic means as
14required by rules of the Department.
15    If the retailer's average monthly tax billings due to the

18may authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual
19basis, with the return for January, February and March of a

12under this Article with the Department not more than one month
13after discontinuing such business.
14    In making such return, the retailer shall determine the

2not less than the lower of either 22.5% of the retailer's
3actual tax collections for the month or 25% of the retailer's
4actual tax collections for the same calendar month of the

9final liability for any month may be applied to reduce the
10amount of any subsequent quarter monthly payment or credited

7return, the Department may authorize the retailer to credit
8such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
9remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
10reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
11subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
12taken was not actually due to the retailer, the retailer's
13discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
14between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
15actually due, and that retailer shall be liable for penalties
16and interest on such difference.
17    On and after the effective date of this Article of 1985, of

13be deposited into the School Infrastructure Fund and one-half
14shall be deposited into the Common School Fund. On and after
15the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General
16Assembly, if in any fiscal year the total of the moneys

8    $2,000 per return, whichever is less; and .
9        (4) For original returns due on and after January 1,
10    2020, 1.75% of the proceeds collected during the calendar
11    year; however, on and after January 1, 2020, in no event
12    shall the discount allowed to any manufacturer or
13    distributor be less than $5 in any calendar year or more
14    than $1,000 in any calendar year.
15    The Department may, if it deems it necessary in order to
16insure the payment of the tax imposed by this Article, require
17returns to be made more frequently than and covering periods of
18less than a month. Such return shall contain such further
19information as the Department may reasonably require.
20    It shall be presumed that all alcoholic liquors acquired or
21made by any importing distributor or manufacturer have been
22sold or used by him in this State and are the basis for the tax
23imposed by this Article unless proven, to the satisfaction of
24the Department, that such alcoholic liquors are (1) still in
25the possession of such importing distributor or manufacturer,
26or (2) prior to the termination of possession have been lost by

 

 

HB2079- 154 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1theft or through unintentional destruction, or (3) that such
2alcoholic liquors are otherwise exempt from taxation under this
3Act.
4    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
5manufacturer's or importing distributor's liabilities under
6this Act, as shown on an original report, the manufacturer or
7importing distributor may credit such excess payment against
8liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department under
9this Act, in accordance with reasonable rules adopted by the
10Department. If the Department subsequently determines that all
11or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
12manufacturer or importing distributor, the manufacturer's or
13importing distributor's discount shall be reduced by an amount
14equal to the difference between the discount as applied to the
15credit taken and that actually due, and the manufacturer or
16importing distributor shall be liable for penalties and
17interest on such difference.
18    The Department may require any foreign importer to file
19monthly information returns, by the 15th day of the month
20following the month which any such return covers, if the
21Department determines this to be necessary to the proper
22performance of the Department's functions and duties under this
23Act. Such return shall contain such information as the
24Department may reasonably require.
25    Every manufacturer and importing distributor shall also
26file, with the Department, a bond in an amount not less than

 

 

HB2079- 155 -LRB101 06876 HLH 51908 b

1$1,000 and not to exceed $100,000 on a form to be approved by,
2and with a surety or sureties satisfactory to, the Department.
3Such bond shall be conditioned upon the manufacturer or
4importing distributor paying to the Department all monies
5becoming due from such manufacturer or importing distributor
6under this Article. The Department shall fix the penalty of
7such bond in each case, taking into consideration the amount of
8alcoholic liquor expected to be sold and used by such
9manufacturer or importing distributor, and the penalty fixed by
10the Department shall be sufficient, in the Department's
11opinion, to protect the State of Illinois against failure to
12pay any amount due under this Article, but the amount of the
13penalty fixed by the Department shall not exceed twice the
14amount of tax liability of a monthly return, nor shall the
15amount of such penalty be less than $1,000. The Department
16shall notify the Commission of the Department's approval or
17disapproval of any such manufacturer's or importing
18distributor's bond, or of the termination or cancellation of
19any such bond, or of the Department's direction to a
20manufacturer or importing distributor that he must file
21additional bond in order to comply with this Section. The
22Commission shall not issue a license to any applicant for a
23manufacturer's or importing distributor's license unless the
24Commission has received a notification from the Department
25showing that such applicant has filed a satisfactory bond with
26the Department hereunder and that such bond has been approved

1by the Department. Failure by any licensed manufacturer or
2importing distributor to keep a satisfactory bond in effect
3with the Department or to furnish additional bond to the
4Department, when required hereunder by the Department to do so,
5shall be grounds for the revocation or suspension of such
6manufacturer's or importing distributor's license by the
7Commission. If a manufacturer or importing distributor fails to
8pay any amount due under this Article, his bond with the
9Department shall be deemed forfeited, and the Department may
10institute a suit in its own name on such bond.
11    After notice and opportunity for a hearing the State
12Commission may revoke or suspend the license of any
13manufacturer or importing distributor who fails to comply with
14the provisions of this Section. Notice of such hearing and the
15time and place thereof shall be in writing and shall contain a
16statement of the charges against the licensee. Such notice may
17be given by United States registered or certified mail with
18return receipt requested, addressed to the person concerned at
19his last known address and shall be given not less than 7 days
20prior to the date fixed for the hearing. An order revoking or
21suspending a license under the provisions of this Section may
22be reviewed in the manner provided in Section 7-10 of this Act.
23No new license shall be granted to a person whose license has
24been revoked for a violation of this Section or, in case of
25suspension, shall such suspension be terminated until he has
26paid to the Department all taxes and penalties which he owes

3verified by the Department, continuously complied with the
4conditions of the bond under this Act for a period of 2 years
5shall be considered to be a prior continuous compliance
6taxpayer. In determining the consecutive period of time for
7qualification as a prior continuous compliance taxpayer, any
8consecutive period of time of qualifying compliance

14successor as the result of an acquisition, merger, or
15consolidation of a manufacturer or importing distributor shall

17respect to the acquired, merged, or consolidated entity.
18    Every prior continuous compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
19from the bond requirements of this Act until the Department has
20determined the taxpayer to be delinquent in the filing of any
21return or deficient in the payment of any tax under this Act.
22Any taxpayer who fails to pay an admitted or established
23liability under this Act may also be required to post bond or
24other acceptable security with the Department guaranteeing the
25payment of such admitted or established liability.
