 6    body  that  has  been  issued  an  active sales tax exemption
 7    identification number by the Department under Section  1g  of
 8    the  Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the property is leased
 9    in a manner that does not qualify for this exemption or  used
10    in  any  other  non-exempt manner, the lessor shall be liable
11    for the tax imposed under this Act or  the  Service  Use  Tax
12    Act,  as  the  case may be, based on the fair market value of
13    the property at the time the non-qualifying use  occurs.   No
14    lessor shall collect or attempt to collect an amount (however
15    designated)  that  purports  to reimburse that lessor for the
16    tax imposed by this Act or the Service Use Tax  Act,  as  the
17    case  may be, if the tax has not been paid by the lessor.  If
18    a lessor improperly collects any such amount from the lessee,
19    the lessee shall have a legal right to claim a refund of that
20    amount from the lessor.  If,  however,  that  amount  is  not
21    refunded  to  the lessee for any reason, the lessor is liable
22    to pay that amount to the Department.

15    in a manner that does not qualify for this  exemption  or  is
16    used  in  any  other  non-exempt  manner, the lessor shall be
17    liable for the tax imposed under this Act or the Use Tax Act,
18    as the case may be, based on the fair  market  value  of  the
19    property  at  the  time  the  non-qualifying  use occurs.  No
20    lessor shall collect or attempt to collect an amount (however
21    designated) that purports to reimburse that  lessor  for  the
22    tax  imposed  by this Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case may
23    be, if the tax has not been paid by the lessor.  If a  lessor
24    improperly  collects  any  such  amount  from the lessee, the
25    lessee shall have a legal right to claim  a  refund  of  that
26    amount  from  the  lessor.   If,  however, that amount is not

 1    Occupation  Tax  Act.   If the property is leased in a manner
 2    that does not qualify for this exemption or is  used  in  any
 3    other  non-exempt  manner, the lessor shall be liable for the
 4    tax imposed under this Act or the Use Tax Act,  as  the  case
 5    may be, based on the fair market value of the property at the
 6    time  the non-qualifying use occurs.  No lessor shall collect
 7    or attempt to collect an  amount  (however  designated)  that
 8    purports to reimburse that lessor for the tax imposed by this
 9    Act  or  the  Use Tax Act, as the case may be, if the tax has
10    not been paid by the lessor.  If a lessor improperly collects
11    any such amount from the lessee,  the  lessee  shall  have  a
12    legal right to claim a refund of that amount from the lessor.
13    If,  however,  that  amount is not refunded to the lessee for
14    any reason, the lessor is liable to pay that  amount  to  the
