Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

For the privilege of exercising its authority to transact business in this State as set out in its application therefor or any amendment thereto, the Secretary of State shall charge and collect from each foreign corporation the following license fees, computed on the basis and at the rates prescribed in this Act:
    (a) An initial license fee at the time of filing its application for authority to transact business in this State whenever the application indicates the corporation commenced transacting business prior to January 1, 1991.
    (b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, an additional license fee at the time of filing (1) a report of the issuance of additional shares, or (2) a report of an increase in paid-in capital without the issuance of shares, or (3) a report of cumulative changes in paid-in capital or of an exchange or reclassification of shares, whenever the report discloses an increase in the amount represented in this State of its paid-in capital over the greatest amount thereof theretofore reported in any document required by this Act to be filed in the office of the Secretary of State.
    (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, whenever the corporation shall be a party to a statutory merger and shall be the surviving corporation, an additional license fee at the time of filing its report following merger, if the report discloses that the amount represented in this State of its paid-in capital immediately after the merger is greater than the aggregate of the amounts represented in this State of the paid-in capital of all of the merged corporations.
    (d) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, an additional license fee payable with the annual franchise tax each year in which the corporation is required by this Act to file an annual report whenever the report discloses an increase in the amount represented in this State of its paid-in capital over the amount previously determined to be represented in this State in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
    (e) The additional license fee referred to in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this Section shall not be payable with respect to issuances of shares or increases in paid-in capital that occur subsequent to both December 31, 1990 and the last day of the third month immediately preceding the anniversary month of a foreign corporation in 1991 or to an increase in the amount represented in this State of its paid-in capital over the amount previously determined to be represented in this State in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
