      SEE INDEX
          Amends the Use Tax Act, the  Service  Use  Tax  Act,  the
      Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax
      Act.    Provides  that  beginning  January  1,  1999, the tax
      imposed by the Acts on the sale of  motor  fuel  and  gasohol
      shall  be  at  the  rate of 1.25% (now imposed at the rate of
      6.25% on  everything  except  certain  food,  medicines,  and
      medical equipment).  Provides that if, however, the aggregate
      tax  revenues  from  motor  fuel  and  gasohol under the Acts
      during the period from January 1, 2002 through  December  31,
      2002  are  not  at  least  15%  more  than  the aggregate tax
      revenues from motor fuel and gasohol under those Acts  during
      the  period  from  January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999,
      then beginning July 1, 2003 the tax is imposed on motor  fuel
      and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.  Reduces from $0.04 to
      0.8  cents the amount per gallon of motor fuel and from $0.03
      to 0.6 cents the amount per gallon of gasohol  that  a  motor
      fuel  retailer  shall  prepay  to  a  registered distributor,
      supplier,  or  other  reseller  of  motor  fuel.  Amends  the
      Counties Code, the Illinois Municipal Code, the  Salem  Civic
      Center  Law  of 1997 in the Civic Center Code, the Local Mass
      Transit District Act, the Regional  Transportation  Authority
      Act,  and  the Water Commission Act of 1985 to provide that a
      taxing authority (including a home rule unit)  that  has  not
      imposed  a motor fuel tax or an occupation tax on the sale of
      motor fuel or gasohol before the effective date of  this  Act
      shall  not impose such a tax on or after that date.  Provides
      that taxing authorities (including a  home  rule  unit)  that
      have  imposed  a  tax  on  the  sale of motor fuel or gasohol
      before the effective date of this Act shall not increase  the
      rate  of  the tax on or after that date.  Preempts home rule.
      Amends the  State  Mandates  Act  to  require  implementation
      without reimbursement. Effective immediately.
                                                     LRB9013112PTbd
                                               LRB9013112PTbd
 1        AN ACT in relation to 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    Sections 3-10 and 9 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        With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1  of
30    the  Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
31    3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at  the  rate  of
                            -2-                LRB9013112PTbd
 1    1.25%.    If,  however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
 2    fuel and gasohol under the Use Tax Act, the Service  Use  Tax
 3    Act,  the  Service  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and the Retailers'
 4    Occupation Tax Act during the period  from  January  1,  2002
 5    through  December 31, 2002 are not at least 15% more than the
 6    aggregate tax revenues from  motor  fuel  and  gasohol  under
 7    those  Acts  during  the  period from January 1, 1999 through
 8    December 31, 1999, then beginning July 1,  2003  the  tax  is
 9    imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.
10        With  respect  to  gasohol,  the  tax imposed by this Act
11    applies to 70% of the proceeds of  sales  made  on  or  after
12    January  1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003, and to 100% of the
13    proceeds of sales made thereafter.
14        With respect to food for human consumption that is to  be
15    consumed  off  the  premises  where  it  is  sold (other than
16    alcoholic beverages, soft drinks,  and  food  that  has  been
17    prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription and
18    nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,   medical   appliances,
19    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
20    it usable by a disabled person, and  insulin,  urine  testing
21    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
22    use,  the  tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For the purposes
23    of this Section, the term "soft drinks" means  any  complete,
24    finished,    ready-to-use,   non-alcoholic   drink,   whether
25    carbonated or not, including but not limited to  soda  water,
26    cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
27    other  preparations commonly known as soft drinks of whatever
28    kind or description that  are  contained  in  any  closed  or
29    sealed bottle, can, carton, or container, regardless of size.
30    "Soft  drinks"  does  not include coffee, tea, non-carbonated
31    water, infant formula, milk or milk products  as  defined  in
32    the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
33    containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
34        Notwithstanding  any  other provisions of this Act, "food
                            -3-                LRB9013112PTbd
 1    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
 2    where it is sold" includes all food sold  through  a  vending
 3    machine,  except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that are
 4    dispensed hot from  a  vending  machine,  regardless  of  the
 5    location of the vending machine.
 6        If  the  property  that  is  purchased  at  retail from a
 7    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside
 8    Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
 9    taxable under this Act, the "selling price" on which the  tax
10    is  computed  shall be reduced by an amount that represents a
11    reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
12    out-of-state use.

16        (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
17        Sec.  9.  Except  as  to  motor   vehicles,   watercraft,
18    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
19    with an agency of  this  State,  each  retailer  required  or
20    authorized  to  collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
21    to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
22    provided) at the time when he is required to file his  return
23    for  the  period  during which such tax was collected, less a
24    discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75%  on  and
25    after  January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
26    greater, which is  allowed  to  reimburse  the  retailer  for
27    expenses  incurred  in  collecting  the tax, keeping records,
28    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
29    data to the Department on request.  In the case of  retailers
30    who  report  and  pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
31    basis, as provided in this Section, such  discount  shall  be
32    taken  with  each  such  tax  remittance instead of when such
33    retailer files his periodic  return.   A  retailer  need  not
                            -4-                LRB9013112PTbd
 1    remit  that  part  of  any tax collected by him to the extent
 2    that he is required to remit and does remit the  tax  imposed
 3    by  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax Act, with respect to the
 4    sale of the same property.
 5        Where such tangible personal property  is  sold  under  a
 6    conditional  sales  contract, or under any other form of sale
 7    wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part  thereof,
 8    is  extended  beyond  the  close  of the period for which the
 9    return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax  (except
10    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
11    are  required to be registered with an agency of this State),
12    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
13    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
14    received during such tax return period.
15        Except as provided in this  Section,  on  or  before  the
16    twentieth  day  of  each  calendar month, such retailer shall
17    file a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such  return
18    shall  be  filed  on  forms  prescribed by the Department and
19    shall  furnish  such  information  as  the   Department   may
20    reasonably require.
21        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
22    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
23    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
24    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
25    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
26    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
27    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
28    stating:
29             1.  The name of the seller;
30             2.  The  address  of the principal place of business
31        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
32        personal property at retail in this State;
33             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
34        him during the preceding calendar  month  from  sales  of
                            -5-                LRB9013112PTbd
 1        tangible  personal  property by him during such preceding
 2        calendar month, including receipts from charge  and  time
 3        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
 4             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
 5        this Act;
 6             5.  The amount of tax due;
 7             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
 8             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
 9        Department may require.
10        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
11    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
12    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
13    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
14        Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an  average
15    monthly  tax  liability  of  $150,000  or more shall make all
16    payments required by rules of the  Department  by  electronic
17    funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
18    an  average  monthly  tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
19    make all payments required by  rules  of  the  Department  by
20    electronic  funds  transfer.  Beginning  October  1,  1995, a
21    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
22    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
23    Department by electronic funds transfer.  The  term  "average
24    monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the taxpayer's
25    liabilities under this Act, and under  all  other  State  and
26    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
27    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
28    divided by 12.
29        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
30    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
31    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
32    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
33    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
34    1.
                            -6-                LRB9013112PTbd
 1        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
 2    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
 3    with the permission of the Department.
 4        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
 5    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
 6    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
 7    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
 8        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
 9    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
10    requirements of this Section.
11        If the taxpayer's average monthly tax  liability  to  the
12    Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
13    the  Service  Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act was
14    $10,000 or more during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
15    quarters,  he  shall  file  a return with the Department each
16    month by the 20th day of the month next following  the  month
17    during  which  such  tax liability is incurred and shall make
18    payments to the Department on or before the 7th,  15th,  22nd
19    and  last  day  of  the  month during which such liability is
20    incurred.  If the month during which such  tax  liability  is
21    incurred  began  prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
22    be in an  amount  equal  to  1/4  of  the  taxpayer's  actual
23    liability  for  the  month or an amount set by the Department
24    not to exceed 1/4 of the average  monthly  liability  of  the
25    taxpayer  to  the  Department  for  the  preceding 4 complete
26    calendar quarters (excluding the month of  highest  liability
27    and  the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
28    If the month during which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred
29    begins  on  or after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1,
30    1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to  22.5%  of
31    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
32    taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar  month of the
33    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
34    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior  to
                            -7-                LRB9013112PTbd
 1    January  1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
 2    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability  for  the  month  or
 3    26.25%  of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for the same calendar
 4    month of the preceding year.  If the month during which  such
 5    tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
 6    and  prior  to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
 7    1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
 8    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%  of  the
 9    taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar  month of the
10    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
11    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior  to
12    January  1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
13    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
14    of the taxpayer's liability for the same  calendar  month  of
15    the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
16    for the quarter monthly reporting period.  The amount of such
17    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
18    tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.   Once
19    applicable,  the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
20    payments  to  the  Department  shall  continue   until   such
21    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
22    the  preceding  4  complete  calendar quarters (excluding the
23    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
24    is less than $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly
25    liability to the Department as  computed  for  each  calendar
26    quarter  of  the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
27    is less than $10,000.  However, if a taxpayer  can  show  the
28    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
29    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
30    that  his  average  monthly  tax liability for the reasonably
31    foreseeable  future  will  fall  below  $10,000,  then   such
32    taxpayer  may  petition  the  Department  for  change in such
33    taxpayer's reporting status.   The  Department  shall  change
34    such  taxpayer's  reporting  status unless it finds that such
                            -8-                LRB9013112PTbd
 1    change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long  term.
 2    If  any  such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time
 3    or in the amount required by this Section, then the  taxpayer
 4    shall  be liable for penalties and interest on the difference
 5    between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
 6    monthly payment actually and timely paid, except  insofar  as
 7    the  taxpayer  has previously made payments for that month to
 8    the Department in excess of the minimum  payments  previously
 9    due  as  provided in this Section.  The Department shall make
10    reasonable  rules  and  regulations  to  govern  the  quarter
11    monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates  for
12    taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
13        If  any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
14    the taxpayer's liabilities under  this  Act,  the  Retailers'
15    Occupation  Tax  Act,  the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
16    Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly  return,
17    the   Department   shall  issue  to  the  taxpayer  a  credit
18    memorandum no later than 30 days after the date  of  payment,
19    which  memorandum  may  be  submitted  by the taxpayer to the
20    Department in payment of tax  liability  subsequently  to  be
21    remitted  by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
22    the taxpayer to  a  similar  taxpayer  under  this  Act,  the
23    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
24    or  the  Service  Use  Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
25    rules and regulations to be  prescribed  by  the  Department,
26    except  that  if  such excess payment is shown on an original
27    monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
28    memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
29    If no such request is made,  the  taxpayer  may  credit  such
30    excess  payment  against  tax  liability  subsequently  to be
31    remitted by the taxpayer to the Department  under  this  Act,
32    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
33    Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
34    rules  and  regulations prescribed by the Department.  If the
                            -9-                LRB9013112PTbd
 1    Department subsequently determines that all or  any  part  of
 2    the  credit  taken  was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
 3    taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall  be  reduced
 4    by  2.1%  or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
 5    and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be  liable  for
 6    penalties and interest on such difference.
 7        If  the  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
 8    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
 9    the Department does  not  exceed  $200,  the  Department  may
10    authorize  his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
11    with the return for January, February, and March of  a  given
12    year  being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
13    April, May and June of a given year being due by July  20  of
14    such  year; with the return for July, August and September of
15    a given year being due by October 20 of such year,  and  with
16    the return for October, November and December of a given year
17    being due by January 20 of the following year.
18        If  the  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
19    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
20    liability  to  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50,   the
21    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
22    basis,  with the return for a given year being due by January
23    20 of the following year.
24        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
25    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
26    monthly returns.
27        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
28    concerning  the  time  within  which  a retailer may file his
29    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
30    kind of business  which  makes  him  responsible  for  filing
31    returns  under  this  Act,  such  retailer shall file a final
32    return under this Act with the Department not more  than  one
33    month after discontinuing such business.
34        In  addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,

 1    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
 2    with  an  agency  of  this State, every retailer selling this
 3    kind of tangible  personal  property  shall  file,  with  the
 4    Department,  upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
 5    Department, a separate return for each such item of  tangible
 6    personal  property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except that
 7    where, in the  same  transaction,  a  retailer  of  aircraft,
 8    watercraft,  motor  vehicles  or trailers transfers more than
 9    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
10    aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer  retailer  for
11    the  purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report the
12    transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor  vehicles  or
13    trailers  involved  in  that transaction to the Department on
14    the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting  return  form.
15    For  purposes  of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
16    Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section  3-2  of
17    the  Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft,
18    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
19        The transaction reporting return in  the  case  of  motor
20    vehicles  or trailers that are required to be registered with
21    an agency of this State, shall be the same  document  as  the
22    Uniform  Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
23    Vehicle Code and must  show  the  name  and  address  of  the
24    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
25    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
26    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
27    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
28    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
29    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
30    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
31    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
32    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
33    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
34    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
                            -11-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
 2    place  and  date  of the sale; a sufficient identification of
 3    the property sold; such other information as is  required  in
 4    Section  5-402  of  the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
 5    information as the Department may reasonably require.
 6        The  transaction  reporting  return  in   the   case   of
 7    watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
 8    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
 9    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
10    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
11    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
12    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
13    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
14    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
15    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
16    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
17    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
18    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
19    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
20    place  and  date  of the sale, a sufficient identification of
21    the  property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as   the
22    Department may reasonably require.
23        Such  transaction  reporting  return  shall  be filed not
24    later than 20 days after the date of  delivery  of  the  item
25    that  is  being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any
26    time  sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.    The
27    transaction  reporting  return and tax remittance or proof of
28    exemption from the tax that is imposed by  this  Act  may  be
29    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
30    which,  or  State  officer  with  whom, the tangible personal
31    property  must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling   or
32    registration  is  required) if the Department and such agency
33    or State officer determine that this procedure will  expedite
34    the processing of applications for title or registration.
                            -12-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
 2    shall  remit  the  proper  amount of tax due (or shall submit
 3    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
 4    the case), to the Department or  its  agents,  whereupon  the
 5    Department  shall  issue,  in  the  purchaser's  name,  a tax
 6    receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the  Department  is
 7    satisfied  that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
 8    purchaser may submit to  the  agency  with  which,  or  State
 9    officer  with  whom,  he  must title or register the tangible
10    personal  property  that   is   involved   (if   titling   or
11    registration  is  required)  in  support  of such purchaser's
12    application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence  of
13    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
14        No  retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
15    Act precludes a user, who has paid  the  proper  tax  to  the
16    retailer,  from  obtaining  his certificate of title or other
17    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
18    is required) upon satisfying the Department  that  such  user
19    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
20    Department  shall  adopt  appropriate  rules to carry out the
21    mandate of this paragraph.
22        If the user who would otherwise pay tax to  the  retailer
23    wants  the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
24    of tax or proof of exemption made to  the  Department  before
25    the  retailer  is willing to take these actions and such user
26    has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user  may  certify
27    to  the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the
28    Department   being   satisfied   of   the   truth   of   such
29    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
30    transaction reporting return and the remittance  for  tax  or
31    proof  of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
32    tax receipt or exemption determination, in  which  event  the
33    transaction  reporting  return  and  tax remittance (if a tax
34    payment was required) shall be credited by the Department  to
                            -13-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
 2    without  the  2.1%  or  1.75%  discount  provided for in this
 3    Section being allowed.  When the user pays the  tax  directly
 4    to  the  Department,  he shall pay the tax in the same amount
 5    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
 6    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
 7        Where a retailer collects the tax  with  respect  to  the
 8    selling  price  of  tangible personal property which he sells
 9    and the purchaser thereafter returns such  tangible  personal
10    property  and  the retailer refunds the selling price thereof
11    to the purchaser, such retailer shall  also  refund,  to  the
12    purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected  from the purchaser. When
13    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
14    to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount  of  the
15    tax  so  refunded  by him to the purchaser from any other use
16    tax which such retailer may be required to pay  or  remit  to
17    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
18    tax  to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department
19    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
20    remitted the amount of such tax  to  the  Department,  he  is
21    entitled  to  no deduction under this Act upon refunding such
22    tax to the purchaser.
23        Any retailer filing a return  under  this  Section  shall
24    also  include  (for  the  purpose  of paying tax thereon) the
25    total tax covered by such return upon the  selling  price  of
26    tangible  personal property purchased by him at retail from a
27    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
28    collected from the retailer  filing  such  return,  and  such
29    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
30    when filing such return.
31        If  experience  indicates  such action to be practicable,
32    the Department may prescribe and  furnish  a  combination  or
33    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
34    file   returns   hereunder  and  also  under  the  Retailers'
                            -14-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    Occupation Tax Act, to furnish  all  the  return  information
 2    required by both Acts on the one form.
 3        Where  the retailer has more than one business registered
 4    with the Department under separate  registration  under  this
 5    Act,  such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
 6    single return covering all such  registered  businesses,  but
 7    shall   file   separate  returns  for  each  such  registered
 8    business.
 9        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
10    shall  pay  into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
11    special fund in the State Treasury which is  hereby  created,
12    the  net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%
13    tax on sales of food for human consumption  which  is  to  be
14    consumed  off  the  premises  where  it  is  sold (other than
15    alcoholic beverages, soft drinks  and  food  which  has  been
16    prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription and
17    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
18    insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and  needles  used
19    by diabetics.
20        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
21    shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District  Fund  4%
22    of  the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
23    6.25% general rate on the selling price of tangible  personal
24    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
25    retailer  and  which  is titled or registered by an agency of
26    this State's government.
27        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
28    shall  pay  into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
29    special fund in the State Treasury, 20% of  the  net  revenue
30    realized  for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
31    on the selling price of  tangible  personal  property,  other
32    than  tangible  personal  property which is purchased outside
33    Illinois at retail from a retailer and  which  is  titled  or
34    registered by an agency of this State's government.

 1        Beginning  February  1,  1999,  and  so  long as the rate
 2    remains at 1.25%, each month the Department  shall  pay  into
 3    the  County  and  Mass  Transit  District Fund 20% of the net
 4    revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%  rate
 5    on the proceeds of sales of motor fuel and gasohol.
 6        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 7    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of  the  net
 8    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
 9    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
10    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
11    retailer  and  which  is titled or registered by an agency of
12    this State's government.
13        Beginning February 1, 1999,  and  so  long  as  the  rate
14    remains  at  1.25%,  each month the Department shall pay into
15    the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized
16    for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on  the  proceeds
17    of sales of motor fuel and gasohol.
18        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
19    pursuant  to  this  Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
20    the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,  1989,  2.2%
21    and  on  and  after  July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
22    into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that  if  in
23    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
24    as  the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
25    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
26    to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section  9
27    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
28    Section  9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
29    hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of  2.2%
30    or  3.8%,  as  the  case  may be, of moneys being hereinafter
31    called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the  amount  transferred
32    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
33    Reform  Fund  shall  be less than the Annual Specified Amount
34    (as defined in Section 3 of  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax

 4    provided, that if on the last business day of any  month  the
 5    sum  of  (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
 6    the Build Illinois Bond Account in the  Build  Illinois  Fund
 7    during  such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
 8    month to the Build Illinois Fund from  the  State  and  Local

16    this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the  greater
17    of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
18    for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
19    payable  into  the  Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b)
20    shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
21    on deposit under each trust indenture securing  Bonds  issued
22    and  outstanding  pursuant  to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
23    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
24    to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for  the

31    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
32    moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond  Account  in  the

 1    the Local Government Distributive Fund .4% of the net revenue
 2    realized for the preceding month from the 5% general rate, or
 3    .4%  of  80%  of  the  net revenue realized for the preceding
 4    month from the 6.25% general rate, as the case may be, on the
 5    selling price of  tangible  personal  property  which  amount
 6    shall,  subject  to appropriation, be distributed as provided
 7    in Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act. No payments or
 8    distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be made if the
 9    tax imposed  by  this  Act  on  photoprocessing  products  is
10    declared  unconstitutional,  or if the proceeds from such tax
11    are unavailable for distribution because of litigation.
12        Subject to payment of amounts  into  the  Build  Illinois
13    Fund,  the  McCormick  Place  Expansion Project Fund, and the
14    Local Government Distributive Fund pursuant to the  preceding
15    paragraphs  or  in  any amendments thereto hereafter enacted,
16    beginning July 1, 1993, the Department shall each  month  pay
17    into  the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of the net
18    revenue realized for  the  preceding  month  from  the  6.25%
19    general  rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible personal
20    property.
21        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
22    pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof  shall  be  paid  into  the
23    State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
24    and  used  only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as
25    part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
26    accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
27        As soon as possible after the first day  of  each  month,
28    upon   certification   of  the  Department  of  Revenue,  the
29    Comptroller shall order transferred and the  Treasurer  shall
30    transfer  from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
31    Fund an amount equal to  1.7%  of  80%  of  the  net  revenue
32    realized  under  this  Act  for  the  second preceding month;
33    except that this transfer shall not be made  for  the  months
34    February through June of 1992.

 1        Net  revenue  realized  for  a month shall be the revenue
 2    collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the  amount
 3    paid  out  during  that  month  as  refunds  to taxpayers for
 4    overpayment of liability.
 5        For greater simplicity of administration,  manufacturers,
 6    importers  and  wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
 7    in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
 8    assume the responsibility for accounting and  paying  to  the
 9    Department  all  tax  accruing under this Act with respect to
10    such sales, if the retailers who are  affected  do  not  make
11    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.

14        Section  10.   The  Service  Use  Tax  Act  is amended by
15    changing Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:
16        (35 ILCS 110/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.33-10)
17        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
18    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
19    6.25% of the selling  price  of  tangible  personal  property
20    transferred  as  an incident to the sale of service, but, for
21    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
22    selling  price be less than the cost price of the property to
23    the serviceman.
24        With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1  of
25    the  Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
26    3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at  the  rate  of
27    1.25%.    If,  however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
28    fuel and gasohol under the Use Tax Act, the Service  Use  Tax
29    Act,  the  Service  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and the Retailers'
30    Occupation Tax Act during the period  from  January  1,  2002
31    through  December 31, 2002 are not at least 15% more than the
32    aggregate tax revenues from  motor  fuel  and  gasohol  under
                            -21-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    those  Acts  during  the  period from January 1, 1999 through
 2    December 31, 1999, then beginning July 1,  2003  the  tax  is
 3    imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.
 4        With  respect  to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act,
 5    the tax imposed by this Act applies to  70%  of  the  selling
 6    price  of  property transferred as an incident to the sale of
 7    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
 8    and to 100% of the selling price thereafter.
 9        At the election of any  registered  serviceman  made  for
10    each  fiscal  year,  sales  of service in which the aggregate
11    annual cost price of tangible personal  property  transferred
12    as  an  incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or
13    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
14    or servicemen engaged in  graphic  arts  production,  of  the
15    aggregate  annual  total  gross  receipts  from  all sales of
16    service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be  based  on  the
17    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
18    transferred as an incident to the sale of those services.
19        The tax shall be imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food
20    prepared  for  immediate consumption and transferred incident
21    to a sale of service subject  to  this  Act  or  the  Service
22    Occupation  Tax  Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
23    Licensing Act or the Nursing Home Care Act.   The  tax  shall
24    also  be  imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food  for human
25    consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where  it
26    is  sold  (other  than  alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and
27    food that has been prepared for immediate consumption and  is
28    not  otherwise  included  in this paragraph) and prescription
29    and nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances,
30    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
31    it  usable  by  a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
32    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
33    use. For the purposes of this Section, the term "soft drinks"
34    means any  complete,  finished,  ready-to-use,  non-alcoholic
                            -22-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    drink,  whether  carbonated or not, including but not limited
 2    to soda water, cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated
 3    water, and all other  preparations  commonly  known  as  soft
 4    drinks  of whatever kind or description that are contained in
 5    any closed or  sealed  bottle,  can,  carton,  or  container,
 6    regardless  of  size.  "Soft drinks" does not include coffee,
 7    tea, non-carbonated  water,  infant  formula,  milk  or  milk
 8    products  as defined in the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk
 9    Products Act, or drinks containing 50% or more natural  fruit
10    or vegetable juice.
11        Notwithstanding  any  other provisions of this Act, "food
12    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
13    where it is sold" includes all food sold  through  a  vending
14    machine,  except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that are
15    dispensed hot from  a  vending  machine,  regardless  of  the
16    location of the vending machine.
17        If  the  property  that  is acquired from a serviceman is
18    acquired outside Illinois and used  outside  Illinois  before
19    being  brought  to Illinois for use here and is taxable under
20    this Act, the "selling price" on which the  tax  is  computed
21    shall  be  reduced  by an amount that represents a reasonable
22    allowance  for  depreciation  for   the   period   of   prior
23    out-of-state use.

27        (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
28        Sec.   9.  Each  serviceman  required  or  authorized  to
29    collect the tax herein imposed shall pay  to  the  Department
30    the  amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the
31    time when he is required to file his return  for  the  period
32    during  which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1%
33    prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and  after  January  1,

 1    1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
 2    allowed  to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in
 3    collecting the tax, keeping  records,  preparing  and  filing
 4    returns,   remitting  the  tax  and  supplying  data  to  the
 5    Department on request. A serviceman need not remit that  part
 6    of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
 7    to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
 8    Tax  Act  with  respect  to his sale of service involving the
 9    incidental transfer by him of the same property.
10        Except as provided hereinafter in  this  Section,  on  or
11    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
12    serviceman  shall  file  a  return for the preceding calendar
13    month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations  to
14    be  promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed
15    on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
16    information as the Department may reasonably require.
17        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
18    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar
19    quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of  the
20    calendar  month  following  the end of such calendar quarter.
21    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
22    each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on  or
23    before  the  twentieth  day  of the following calendar month,
24    stating:
25             1.  The name of the seller;
26             2.  The address of the principal place  of  business
27        from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
28        State;
29             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
30        him   during  the  preceding  calendar  month,  including
31        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all
32        deductions allowed by law;
33             4.  The amount of credit provided in Section  2d  of
34        this Act;
                            -24-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1             5.  The amount of tax due;
 2             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
 3             6.  Such   other   reasonable   information  as  the
 4        Department may require.
 5        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
 6    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
 7    the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown  to
 8    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
 9        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
10    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
11    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
12    funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1994,  a  taxpayer  who
13    has  an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $100,000 or more
14    shall make all payments required by rules of  the  Department
15    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a
16    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
17    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
18    Department by electronic funds transfer.  The  term  "average
19    monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the taxpayer's
20    liabilities under this Act, and under  all  other  State  and
21    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
22    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
23    divided by 12.
24        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
25    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
26    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
27    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
28    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
29    1.
30        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
31    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
32    with the permission of the Department.
33        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
34    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
                            -25-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
 2    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
 3        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
 4    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
 5    requirements of this Section.
 6        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
 7    return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax  liability
 8    to  the  Department  does not exceed $200, the Department may
 9    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
10    with  the  return  for January, February and March of a given
11    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
12    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
13    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
14    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
15    the return for October, November and December of a given year
16    being due by January 20 of the following year.
17        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
18    or quarterly return and if the serviceman's  average  monthly
19    tax  liability  to  the  Department  does not exceed $50, the
20    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
21    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
22    20 of the following year.
23        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
24    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
25    monthly returns.
26        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
27    concerning the time within which a serviceman  may  file  his
28    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
29    a  kind  of  business  which makes him responsible for filing
30    returns under this Act, such serviceman shall  file  a  final
31    return  under  this  Act  with the Department not more than 1
32    month after discontinuing such business.
33        Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect  to  the
34    selling  price  of  property which he sells and the purchaser
                            -26-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    thereafter returns such property and the  serviceman  refunds
 2    the  selling  price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
 3    shall also refund, to the purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected
 4    from  the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in
 5    which he refunds such tax to the  purchaser,  the  serviceman
 6    may  deduct  the  amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
 7    purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service  Occupation
 8    Tax,   retailers'  occupation  tax  or  use  tax  which  such
 9    serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
10    as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the  tax
11    to  be  deducted  shall  previously have been remitted to the
12    Department by such serviceman. If the  serviceman  shall  not
13    previously  have  remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the
14    Department, he shall be entitled to  no  deduction  hereunder
15    upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
16        Any  serviceman  filing  a  return  hereunder  shall also
17    include the total tax upon  the  selling  price  of  tangible
18    personal  property purchased for use by him as an incident to
19    a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
20    of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
21        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
22    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
23    joint return which will enable servicemen, who  are  required
24    to   file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under  the  Service
25    Occupation Tax Act, to furnish  all  the  return  information
26    required by both Acts on the one form.
27        Where   the   serviceman   has  more  than  one  business
28    registered with the Department  under  separate  registration
29    hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
30    due   as   a  single  return  covering  all  such  registered
31    businesses, but shall file separate  returns  for  each  such
32    registered business.
33        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
34    shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
                            -27-               LRB9013112PTbd

 2    preceding  month  from  the 1% tax on sales of food for human
 3    consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
 4    is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
 5    which  has  been  prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and
 6    prescription and nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical
 7    appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
 8    needles used by diabetics.
 9        Beginning  February  1,  1999,  and  so  long as the rate
10    remains at 1.25%, each month the Department  shall  pay  into
11    the  County  and  Mass  Transit  District Fund 20% of the net
12    revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%  rate
13    on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
14        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
15    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund  20%
16    of  the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
17    6.25%  general  rate  on  transfers  of   tangible   personal
18    property,  other  than  tangible  personal  property which is
19    purchased outside Illinois at  retail  from  a  retailer  and
20    which  is  titled  or registered by an agency of this State's
21    government.
22        Beginning February 1, 1999,  and  so  long  as  the  rate
23    remains  at  1.25%,  each month the Department shall pay into
24    the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized
25    for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate  on  the  selling
26    price of motor fuel and gasohol.
27        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
28    pursuant  to  this Act, (a)  1.75% thereof shall be paid into
29    the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,  1989,  2.2%
30    and  on  and  after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be  paid
31    into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that  if  in
32    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
33    as  the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
34    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
                            -28-               LRB9013112PTbd

 2    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
 3    Section  9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
 4    hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of  2.2%
 5    or  3.8%,  as  the  case  may be, of moneys being hereinafter
 6    called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the  amount  transferred
 7    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
 8    Reform  Fund  shall be less than the Annual Specified  Amount

10    Act),  an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
11    paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys  received
12    by  the  Department  pursuant  to  the  Tax Acts; and further
13    provided, that if on the last business day of any  month  the
14    sum  of  (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
15    the Build Illinois Bond Account in the  Build  Illinois  Fund
16    during  such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
17    month to the Build Illinois Fund from  the  State  and  Local
18    Sales  Tax  Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the
19    Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal  to  the  difference

23    payments required  under  the  preceding  proviso  result  in
24    aggregate  payments  into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
25    this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the  greater
26    of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
27    for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
28    payable  into  the  Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b)

30    on deposit under each trust indenture securing  Bonds  issued
31    and  outstanding  pursuant  to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
32    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
33    to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for  the

17    shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
18    of  the  preceding  sentence  and  shall  reduce  the  amount
19    otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b)
20    of the  preceding  sentence.   The  moneys  received  by  the
21    Department  pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited
22    into the Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim
23    and charge set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond
24    Act.

13        Section 15.  The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
14    changing Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:
15        (35 ILCS 115/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)
16        Sec.  3-10.  Rate  of  tax.  Unless otherwise provided in
17    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
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
                            -33-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    transferred incident to the completion of the contract.
 2        With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1  of
 3    the  Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
 4    3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at  the  rate  of
 5    1.25%.    If,  however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
 6    fuel and gasohol under the Use Tax Act, the Service  Use  Tax
 7    Act,  the  Service  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and the Retailers'
 8    Occupation Tax Act during the period  from  January  1,  2002
 9    through  December 31, 2002 are not at least 15% more than the
10    aggregate tax revenues from  motor  fuel  and  gasohol  under
11    those  Acts  during  the  period from January 1, 1999 through
12    December 31, 1999, then beginning July 1,  2003  the  tax  is
13    imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.
14        With  respect  to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act,
15    the tax imposed by this Act shall apply to 70%  of  the  cost
16    price  of  property transferred as an incident to the sale of
17    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
18    and to 100% of the cost price thereafter.
19        At the election of any  registered  serviceman  made  for
20    each  fiscal  year,  sales  of service in which the aggregate
21    annual cost price of tangible personal  property  transferred
22    as  an  incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or
23    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
24    or servicemen engaged in  graphic  arts  production,  of  the
25    aggregate  annual  total  gross  receipts  from  all sales of
26    service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be  based  on  the
27    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
28    transferred incident to the sale of those services.
29        The tax shall be imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food
30    prepared  for  immediate consumption and transferred incident
31    to a sale of service subject  to  this  Act  or  the  Service
32    Occupation  Tax  Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
33    Licensing Act or the Nursing Home Care Act.   The  tax  shall
34    also  be  imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food  for human
                            -34-               LRB9013112PTbd

 5    and nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances,
 6    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
 7    it  usable  by  a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
 8    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
 9    use.  For the  purposes  of  this  Section,  the  term  "soft
10    drinks"   means   any   complete,   finished,   ready-to-use,
11    non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not, including but
12    not  limited  to  soda  water,  cola,  fruit juice, vegetable
13    juice, carbonated water, and all other preparations  commonly
14    known as soft drinks of whatever kind or description that are
15    contained  in any closed or sealed can, carton, or container,

19    Products  Act, or drinks containing 50% or more natural fruit
20    or vegetable juice.
21        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
22    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
23    where  it  is  sold" includes all food sold through a vending
24    machine, except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that  are
25    dispensed  hot  from  a  vending  machine,  regardless of the
26    location of the vending machine.

32    collect the tax herein imposed shall pay  to  the  Department

 4    calendar  year,  whichever  is  greater,  which is allowed to
 5    reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in  collecting
 6    the  tax,  keeping  records,  preparing  and  filing returns,
 7    remitting the tax and supplying data  to  the  Department  on
 8    request.
 9        Where  such  tangible  personal  property is sold under a
10    conditional sales contract, or under any other form  of  sale
11    wherein  the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
12    is extended beyond the close of  the  period  for  which  the
13    return  is  filed,  the serviceman, in collecting the tax may
14    collect, for each tax return period, only the tax  applicable
15    to  the  part  of  the selling price actually received during
16    such tax return period.
17        Except as provided hereinafter in  this  Section,  on  or
18    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
19    serviceman  shall  file  a  return for the preceding calendar
20    month in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations  to
21    be  promulgated  by  the  Department of Revenue.  Such return
22    shall be filed on a form prescribed  by  the  Department  and
23    shall   contain   such  information  as  the  Department  may
24    reasonably require.
25        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
26    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar
27    quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of  the
28    calendar  month  following  the end of such calendar quarter.
29    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for

11             6.  Such   other   reasonable   information  as  the
12        Department may require.
13        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
14    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
15    the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown  to
16    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
17        A  serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
18    certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
19    Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
20    the  purchaser  provides  the  appropriate  documentation  as
21    required by Section 3-70 of the  Service  Use  Tax  Act.    A
22    Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit certification, accepted by a
23    serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
24    Act, may be  used  by  that  serviceman  to  satisfy  Service
25    Occupation  Tax  liability  in  the  amount  claimed  in  the
26    certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
27    tax from a qualifying purchase.
28        If  the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the

31    return  for January, February and March of a given year being
32    due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,  May
33    and  June  of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;

 2    return for October, November and December  of  a  given  year
 3    being due by January 20 of the following year.
 4        If  the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
 5    Department does not exceed $50, the Department may  authorize
 6    his  returns  to be filed on an annual basis, with the return
 7    for a given year being due by January  20  of  the  following
 8    year.
 9        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
10    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
11    monthly returns.
12        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
13    concerning the time within which a serviceman  may  file  his
14    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
15    a  kind  of  business  which makes him responsible for filing
16    returns under this Act, such serviceman shall  file  a  final
17    return  under  this  Act  with the Department not more than 1
18    month after discontinuing such business.
19        Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an  average
20    monthly  tax  liability  of  $150,000  or more shall make all
21    payments required by rules of the  Department  by  electronic

23    has an average monthly tax  liability  of  $100,000  or  more
24    shall  make  all payments required by rules of the Department
25    by electronic funds transfer.  Beginning October 1,  1995,  a
26    taxpayer  who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
27    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
28    Department  by  electronic funds transfer.  The term "average
29    monthly tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the  taxpayer's
30    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
31    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
32    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
33    divided by 12.

 1    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
 2    payments   by  electronic  funds  transfer.    All  taxpayers
 3    required to make payments by electronic funds transfer  shall
 4    make  those  payments  for a minimum of one year beginning on
 5    October 1.
 6        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic
 7    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
 8    with the permission of the Department.
 9        All  taxpayers  required  to  make  payment by electronic
10    funds transfer and any taxpayers  authorized  to  voluntarily
11    make  payments  by electronic funds transfer shall make those
12    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
13        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
14    effectuate a program of electronic  funds  transfer  and  the
15    requirements of this Section.
16        Where  a  serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
17    selling price of tangible personal property  which  he  sells
18    and  the  purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
19    property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
20    to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund,  to  the
21    purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected from the purchaser.  When
22    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
23    to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
24    tax so refunded by  him  to  the  purchaser  from  any  other
25    Service   Occupation   Tax,   Service   Use  Tax,  Retailers'
26    Occupation Tax or  Use  Tax  which  such  serviceman  may  be
27    required  to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such
28    return, provided that the amount of the tax  to  be  deducted
29    shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
30    serviceman.   If  the  serviceman  shall  not previously have
31    remitted the amount of such tax to the Department,  he  shall
32    be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
33    to the purchaser.
34        If  experience  indicates  such action to be practicable,

 1    the Department may prescribe and  furnish  a  combination  or
 2    joint  return  which will enable servicemen, who are required
 3    to file returns  hereunder  and  also  under  the  Retailers'
 4    Occupation  Tax  Act,  the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax
 5    Act, to furnish all the return information  required  by  all
 6    said Acts on the one form.
 7        Where   the   serviceman   has  more  than  one  business
 8    registered with the Department under  separate  registrations
 9    hereunder,  such  serviceman  shall file separate returns for
10    each registered business.

24        Beginning  February  1,  1999,  and  so  long as the rate
25    remains at 1.25%, each month the Department  shall  pay  into
26    the  County  and  Mass  Transit  District Fund 20% of the net

16    Such  annual  return  to  the  Department  shall  include   a
17    statement  of  gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last
18    Federal income tax return.  If  the  total  receipts  of  the
19    business  as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
20    agree with the gross receipts reported to the  Department  of
21    Revenue for the same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his

23    amounts and the reasons for the difference.   The  taxpayer's
24    annual  return to the Department shall also disclose the cost

 2    liable as follows:
 3             (i)  Until January 1, 1994, the  taxpayer  shall  be
 4        liable  for  a  penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
 5        from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
 6        covered by the annual return for each month  or  fraction
 7        of  a  month  until such return is filed as required, the
 8        penalty to be assessed and collected in the  same  manner
 9        as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
10             (ii)  On  and  after  January  1, 1994, the taxpayer
11        shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
12        of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
13        The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
14    ranking manager shall sign the annual return to  certify  the
15    accuracy  of  the  information contained therein.  Any person
16    who willfully signs the annual  return  containing  false  or
17    inaccurate   information  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury  and
18    punished accordingly.  The annual return form  prescribed  by
19    the  Department  shall  include  a  warning  that  the person
20    signing the return may be liable for perjury.
21        The foregoing portion  of  this  Section  concerning  the
22    filing  of  an annual information return shall not apply to a
23    serviceman who is not required to file an income  tax  return
24    with the United States Government.
25        As  soon  as  possible after the first day of each month,
26    upon  certification  of  the  Department  of   Revenue,   the
27    Comptroller  shall  order transferred and the Treasurer shall
28    transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel  Tax
29    Fund  an  amount  equal  to  1.7%  of  80% of the net revenue
30    realized under this  Act  for  the  second  preceding  month;
31    except  that  this  transfer shall not be made for the months
32    February through June, 1992.
33        Net revenue realized for a month  shall  be  the  revenue
34    collected  by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
                            -46-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    paid out during  that  month  as  refunds  to  taxpayers  for
 2    overpayment of liability.
 3        For  greater  simplicity  of  administration, it shall be
 4    permissible  for  manufacturers,  importers  and  wholesalers
 5    whose products are sold by numerous servicemen  in  Illinois,
 6    and  who  wish  to  do  so,  to assume the responsibility for
 7    accounting and paying to  the  Department  all  tax  accruing
 8    under  this Act with respect to such sales, if the servicemen
 9    who are  affected  do  not  make  written  objection  to  the
10    Department to this arrangement.

18    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
19    Department by electronic funds transfer.  The  term  "average

12    nearest  whole-dollar  amount  where the fractional part of a
13    dollar is less than 50 cents.
14        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
15    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
16    the  Department  does  not  exceed  $200,  the Department may
17    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
18    with  the  return  for January, February and March of a given
19    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
20    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of

24    being due by January 20 of the following year.
25        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
26    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
27    liability  with  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50, the
28    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
29    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
30    20 of the following year.
31        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and

 4    returns under this Act, such  retailer  shall  file  a  final
 5    return  under  this Act with the Department not more than one
 6    month after discontinuing such business.
 7        Where  the  same  person  has  more  than  one   business
 8    registered  with  the Department under separate registrations

16    kind of tangible  personal  property  shall  file,  with  the
17    Department,  upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
18    Department, a separate return for each such item of  tangible
19    personal  property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except that
20    where, in the  same  transaction,  a  retailer  of  aircraft,
21    watercraft,  motor  vehicles  or trailers transfers more than
22    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
23    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor  vehicle  retailer  or  trailer

30    Section  3-2  of  the  Boat  Registration  and  Safety Act, a
31    personal watercraft, or any boat  equipped  with  an  inboard

 3    such  transaction  reporting returns and who is not otherwise
 4    required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not  file
 5    monthly or quarterly returns.  However, those retailers shall

 7        The  transaction  reporting  return, in the case of motor
 8    vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered  with
 9    an  agency  of  this State, shall be the same document as the

11    Vehicle  Code  and  must  show  the  name  and address of the
12    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
13    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
14    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
15    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
16    if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this  Act  allows
17    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
18    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
19    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
20    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
21    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
22    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
23    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
24    place and date of the sale; a  sufficient  identification  of
25    the  property  sold; such other information as is required in
26    Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code,  and  such  other
27    information as the Department may reasonably require.
28        The   transaction   reporting   return  in  the  case  of
29    watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of  the
30    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
31    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
32    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
33    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
34    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
                            -55-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
 2    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
 3    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
 4    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
 5    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
 6    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
 7    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
 8    place  and  date  of the sale, a sufficient identification of
 9    the  property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as   the
10    Department may reasonably require.
11        Such  transaction  reporting  return  shall  be filed not
12    later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
13    is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at  any  time
14    sooner  than  that  if  he chooses to do so.  The transaction
15    reporting return and tax remittance  or  proof  of  exemption
16    from   the  Illinois  use  tax  may  be  transmitted  to  the
17    Department by way of the State agency with  which,  or  State
18    officer  with  whom  the  tangible  personal property must be
19    titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
20    if the Department and such agency or State officer  determine
21    that   this   procedure   will  expedite  the  processing  of
22    applications for title or registration.
23        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
24    shall remit the proper amount of tax  due  (or  shall  submit
25    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
26    the  case),  to  the  Department or its agents, whereupon the
27    Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name,  a  use  tax
28    receipt  (or  a certificate of exemption if the Department is
29    satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which  such
30    purchaser  may  submit  to  the  agency  with which, or State
31    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
32    personal   property   that   is   involved   (if  titling  or
33    registration is required)  in  support  of  such  purchaser's
34    application  for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
                            -56-               LRB9013112PTbd
 1    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
 2        No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under  this
 3    Act  precludes  a  user,  who  has paid the proper tax to the
 4    retailer, from obtaining his certificate of  title  or  other
 5    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
 6    is  required)  upon  satisfying the Department that such user
 7    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
 8    Department shall adopt appropriate rules  to  carry  out  the
 9    mandate of this paragraph.
10        If  the  user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
11    wants the transaction reporting return filed and the  payment
12    of  the  tax  or  proof  of  exemption made to the Department
13    before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
14    user has not paid the tax to  the  retailer,  such  user  may
15    certify  to  the  fact  of such delay by the retailer and may
16    (upon the Department being satisfied of  the  truth  of  such
17    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
18    transaction  reporting  return  and the remittance for tax or
19    proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain  his
20    tax  receipt  or  exemption determination, in which event the
21    transaction reporting return and tax  remittance  (if  a  tax
