(220 ILCS 5/9-222.2) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 9-222.2)
Sec. 9-222.2.
Additional Charge - Recovery.
The additional charge
authorized by Section 9-221 or Section 9-222 shall be made (i) in the case
of a tax measured by gross receipts or gross revenue, by adding to the
customer's bill a uniform percentage to those amounts payable by the
customer for intrastate utility service which are includible in the measure
of such tax, except, however, such method is not required where practical
considerations justify a utility's or telecommunications carrier's use of
another just and reasonable method of recovering its entire liability for
such tax, and (ii) in the case of a tax measured by the number of therms or
kilowatt-hours distributed, supplied, furnished, sold, transported or
transmitted, by adding to the customer's bill an amount equal to the number
of therms or kilowatt-hours which are includible in the measure of such
tax, multiplied by the applicable tax rate. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed unjust and unreasonable
or a violation of Section 9-241 for telecommunications carriers to recover
the expense of taxes imposed by any municipality pursuant to Section 8-11-2
of the Illinois Municipal Code on coin revenues generated by coin-operated
telecommunications devices by including the expense of the tax within the
coin rates for intra-state coin paid telecommunications services.
