 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
SB1458 Engrossed            -2-                LRB9011307KDbd
 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 October 1, 2001
 5    through September 30, 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 October 1, 1998 through
 8    September 30, 1999, then beginning January 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, 1999, and to 100% of  the
13    proceeds  of  sales made thereafter, except that from July 1,
14    1997 to July 1, 1999, the rate shall be 85% for gasohol  sold
15    in this State during the 12 months beginning July 1 following
16    any  calendar  year  for  which the Department has determined
17    that the percentages in Section 10 of the Gasohol  Fuels  Tax
18    Abatement Act have not been met.
19        With  respect to food for human consumption that is to be
20    consumed off the  premises  where  it  is  sold  (other  than
21    alcoholic  beverages,  soft  drinks,  and  food that has been
22    prepared for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription  and
23    nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,   medical   appliances,
24    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
25    it  usable  by  a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
26    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
27    use, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For  the  purposes
28    of  this  Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete,
29    finished,   ready-to-use,   non-alcoholic   drink,    whether
30    carbonated  or  not, including but not limited to soda water,
31    cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
32    other preparations commonly known as soft drinks of  whatever
33    kind  or  description  that  are  contained  in any closed or
34    sealed bottle, can, carton, or container, regardless of size.
SB1458 Engrossed            -3-                LRB9011307KDbd
 1    "Soft drinks" does not include  coffee,  tea,  non-carbonated
 2    water,  infant  formula,  milk or milk products as defined in
 3    the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
 4    containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
 5        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
 6    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
 7    where  it  is  sold" includes all food sold through a vending
 8    machine, except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that  are
 9    dispensed  hot  from  a  vending  machine,  regardless of the
10    location of the vending machine.
11        If the property  that  is  purchased  at  retail  from  a
12    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside
13    Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
14    taxable  under this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax
15    is computed shall be reduced by an amount that  represents  a
16    reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
17    out-of-state use.

20        (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
21        (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 90-491)
22        Sec.  9.  Except  as  to  motor   vehicles,   watercraft,
23    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
24    with an agency of  this  State,  each  retailer  required  or
25    authorized  to  collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
26    to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
27    provided) at the time when he is required to file his  return
28    for  the  period  during which such tax was collected, less a
29    discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75%  on  and
30    after  January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
31    greater, which is  allowed  to  reimburse  the  retailer  for
32    expenses  incurred  in  collecting  the tax, keeping records,
33    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
SB1458 Engrossed            -4-                LRB9011307KDbd
 1    data to the Department on request.  In the case of  retailers
 2    who  report  and  pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
 3    basis, as provided in this Section, such  discount  shall  be
 4    taken  with  each  such  tax  remittance instead of when such
 5    retailer files his periodic  return.   A  retailer  need  not
 6    remit  that  part  of  any tax collected by him to the extent
 7    that he is required to remit and does remit the  tax  imposed
 8    by  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax Act, with respect to the
 9    sale of the same property.
10        Where such tangible personal property  is  sold  under  a
11    conditional  sales  contract, or under any other form of sale
12    wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part  thereof,
13    is  extended  beyond  the  close  of the period for which the
14    return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax  (except
15    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
16    are  required to be registered with an agency of this State),
17    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
18    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
19    received during such tax return period.
20        Except as provided in this  Section,  on  or  before  the
21    twentieth  day  of  each  calendar month, such retailer shall
22    file a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such  return
23    shall  be  filed  on  forms  prescribed by the Department and
24    shall  furnish  such  information  as  the   Department   may
25    reasonably require.
26        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
27    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
28    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
29    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
30    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
31    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
32    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
33    stating:
34             1.  The name of the seller;
SB1458 Engrossed            -5-                LRB9011307KDbd
 1             2.  The  address  of the principal place of business
 2        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
 3        personal property at retail in this State;
 4             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
 5        him during the preceding calendar  month  from  sales  of
 6        tangible  personal  property by him during such preceding
 7        calendar month, including receipts from charge  and  time
 8        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
 9             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
10        this Act;
11             5.  The amount of tax due;
12             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
13             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
14        Department may require.
15        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
16    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
17    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
18    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
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
22    funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
23    an  average  monthly  tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
24    make all payments required by  rules  of  the  Department  by
25    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.
34        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
SB1458 Engrossed            -6-                LRB9011307KDbd
 1    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
 2    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
 3    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
 4    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
 5    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        If the taxpayer's average monthly tax  liability  to  the
17    Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
18    the  Service  Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act was
19    $10,000 or more during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
20    quarters,  he  shall  file  a return with the Department each
21    month by the 20th day of the month next following  the  month
22    during  which  such  tax liability is incurred and shall make
23    payments to the Department on or before the 7th,  15th,  22nd
24    and  last  day  of  the  month during which such liability is
25    incurred.  If the month during which such  tax  liability  is
26    incurred  began  prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
27    be in an  amount  equal  to  1/4  of  the  taxpayer's  actual
28    liability  for  the  month or an amount set by the Department
29    not to exceed 1/4 of the average  monthly  liability  of  the
30    taxpayer  to  the  Department  for  the  preceding 4 complete
31    calendar quarters (excluding the month of  highest  liability
32    and  the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
33    If the month during which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred
34    begins  on  or after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1,
SB1458 Engrossed            -7-                LRB9011307KDbd
 1    1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to  22.5%  of
 2    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
 3    taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar  month of the
 4    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
 5    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior  to
 6    January  1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
 7    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability  for  the  month  or
 8    26.25%  of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for the same calendar
 9    month of the preceding year.  If the month during which  such
10    tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
11    and  prior  to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
12    1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
13    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%  of  the
14    taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar  month of the
15    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
16    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior  to
17    January  1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
18    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
19    of the taxpayer's liability for the same  calendar  month  of
20    the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
21    for the quarter monthly reporting period.  The amount of such
22    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
23    tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.   Once
24    applicable,  the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
25    payments  to  the  Department  shall  continue   until   such
26    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
27    the  preceding  4  complete  calendar quarters (excluding the
28    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
29    is less than $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly
30    liability to the Department as  computed  for  each  calendar
31    quarter  of  the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
32    is less than $10,000.  However, if a taxpayer  can  show  the
33    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
34    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
SB1458 Engrossed            -8-                LRB9011307KDbd
 1    that  his  average  monthly  tax liability for the reasonably
 2    foreseeable  future  will  fall  below  $10,000,  then   such
 3    taxpayer  may  petition  the  Department  for  change in such
 4    taxpayer's reporting status.   The  Department  shall  change
 5    such  taxpayer's  reporting  status unless it finds that such
 6    change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long  term.
 7    If  any  such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time
 8    or  in  the  amount  required  by  this  Section,  then   the
 9    taxpayer's  2.1%  or 1.75% vendors' discount shall be reduced
10    by 2.1% or 1.75%, as the  case  may  be,  of  the  difference
11    between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
12    monthly  payment  actually  and  timely paid and the taxpayer
13    shall  be  liable  for  penalties  and   interest   on   such
14    difference,  except  insofar  as  the taxpayer has previously
15    made payments for that month to the Department in  excess  of
16    the  minimum  payments  previously  due  as  provided in this
17    Section.  The Department  shall  make  reasonable  rules  and
18    regulations  to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
19    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
20    than a calendar monthly basis.
21        If any such payment provided for in this Section  exceeds
22    the  taxpayer's  liabilities  under  this Act, the Retailers'
23    Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax  Act  and  the
24    Service  Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
25    the  Department  shall  issue  to  the  taxpayer   a   credit
26    memorandum  no  later than 30 days after the date of payment,
27    which memorandum may be submitted  by  the  taxpayer  to  the
28    Department  in  payment  of  tax liability subsequently to be
29    remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned  by
30    the  taxpayer  to  a  similar  taxpayer  under  this Act, the
31    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
32    or the Service Use Tax Act,  in  accordance  with  reasonable
33    rules  and  regulations  to  be prescribed by the Department,
34    except that if such excess payment is shown  on  an  original
SB1458 Engrossed            -9-                LRB9011307KDbd
 1    monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
 2    memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
 3    If  no  such  request  is  made, the taxpayer may credit such
 4    excess payment  against  tax  liability  subsequently  to  be
 5    remitted  by  the  taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
 6    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
 7    Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
 8    rules and regulations prescribed by the Department.   If  the
 9    Department  subsequently  determines  that all or any part of
10    the credit taken was not actually due to  the  taxpayer,  the
11    taxpayer's  2.1%  or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
12    by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the  credit  taken
13    and  that  actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
14    penalties and interest on such difference.
15        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
16    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
17    the  Department  does  not  exceed  $200,  the Department may
18    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
19    with  the  return for January, February, and March of a given
20    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
21    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
22    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
23    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
24    the return for October, November and December of a given year
25    being due by January 20 of the following year.
26        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
27    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
28    liability   to  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50,  the
29    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
30    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
31    20 of the following year.
32        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
33    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
34    monthly returns.

 1        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
 2    concerning the time within which  a  retailer  may  file  his
 3    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
 4    kind  of  business  which  makes  him  responsible for filing
 5    returns under this Act, such  retailer  shall  file  a  final
 6    return  under  this Act with the Department not more than one
 7    month after discontinuing such business.
 8        In addition, with respect to motor vehicles,  watercraft,
 9    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
10    with an agency of this State,  every  retailer  selling  this
11    kind  of  tangible  personal  property  shall  file, with the
12    Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by  the
13    Department,  a separate return for each such item of tangible
14    personal property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except  that
15    where,  in  the  same  transaction,  a  retailer of aircraft,
16    watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers  transfers  more  than
17    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
18    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
19    the purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report  the
20    transfer  of  all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
21    trailers involved in that transaction to  the  Department  on
22    the  same  uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
23    For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a  Class  2,
24    Class  3,  or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
25    the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal  watercraft,
26    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
27        The  transaction  reporting  return  in the case of motor
28    vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered  with
29    an  agency  of  this State, shall be the same document as the
30    Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the  Illinois
31    Vehicle  Code  and  must  show  the  name  and address of the
32    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
33    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
34    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
SB1458 Engrossed            -11-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
 2    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
 3    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
 4    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
 5    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
 6    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
 7    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
 8    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
 9    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
10    place and date of the sale; a  sufficient  identification  of
11    the  property  sold; such other information as is required in
12    Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,  and  such  other
13    information as the Department may reasonably require.
14        The   transaction   reporting   return  in  the  case  of
15    watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
16    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
17    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
18    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
19    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
20    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
21    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
22    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
23    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
24    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
25    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
26    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
27    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
28    place and date of the sale, a  sufficient  identification  of
29    the   property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as  the
30    Department may reasonably require.
31        Such transaction reporting  return  shall  be  filed  not
32    later  than  20  days  after the date of delivery of the item
33    that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer  at  any
34    time   sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.   The
SB1458 Engrossed            -12-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    transaction reporting return and tax remittance or  proof  of
 2    exemption  from  the  tax  that is imposed by this Act may be
 3    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
 4    which, or State officer  with  whom,  the  tangible  personal
 5    property   must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling  or
 6    registration is required) if the Department and  such  agency
 7    or  State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
 8    the processing of applications for title or registration.
 9        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
10    shall remit the proper amount of tax  due  (or  shall  submit
11    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
12    the  case),  to  the  Department or its agents, whereupon the
13    Department shall  issue,  in  the  purchaser's  name,  a  tax
14    receipt  (or  a certificate of exemption if the Department is
15    satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which  such
16    purchaser  may  submit  to  the  agency  with which, or State
17    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
18    personal   property   that   is   involved   (if  titling  or
19    registration is required)  in  support  of  such  purchaser's
20    application  for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
21    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
22        No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under  this
23    Act  precludes  a  user,  who  has paid the proper tax to the
24    retailer, from obtaining his certificate of  title  or  other
25    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
26    is  required)  upon  satisfying the Department that such user
27    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
28    Department shall adopt appropriate rules  to  carry  out  the
29    mandate of this paragraph.
30        If  the  user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
31    wants the transaction reporting return filed and the  payment
32    of  tax  or  proof of exemption made to the Department before
33    the retailer is willing to take these actions and  such  user
34    has  not  paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
SB1458 Engrossed            -13-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon  the
 2    Department   being   satisfied   of   the   truth   of   such
 3    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
 4    transaction  reporting  return  and the remittance for tax or
 5    proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain  his
 6    tax  receipt  or  exemption determination, in which event the
 7    transaction reporting return and tax  remittance  (if  a  tax
 8    payment  was required) shall be credited by the Department to
 9    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
10    without the 2.1% or  1.75%  discount  provided  for  in  this
11    Section  being  allowed.  When the user pays the tax directly
12    to the Department, he shall pay the tax in  the  same  amount
13    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
14    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
15        Where  a  retailer  collects  the tax with respect to the
16    selling price of tangible personal property  which  he  sells
17    and  the  purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
18    property and the retailer refunds the selling  price  thereof
19    to  the  purchaser,  such  retailer shall also refund, to the
20    purchaser, the tax so  collected  from  the  purchaser.  When
21    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
22    to  the  purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
23    tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from  any  other  use
24    tax  which  such  retailer may be required to pay or remit to
25    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
26    tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the  Department
27    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
28    remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the Department, he is
29    entitled to no deduction under this Act upon  refunding  such
30    tax to the purchaser.
31        Any  retailer  filing  a  return under this Section shall
32    also include (for the purpose  of  paying  tax  thereon)  the
33    total  tax  covered  by such return upon the selling price of
34    tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from  a
SB1458 Engrossed            -14-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
 2    collected  from  the  retailer  filing  such return, and such
 3    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
 4    when filing such return.
 5        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
 6    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
 7    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
 8    file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under   the   Retailers'
 9    Occupation  Tax  Act,  to  furnish all the return information
10    required by both Acts on the one form.
11        Where the retailer has more than one business  registered
12    with  the  Department  under separate registration under this
13    Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as  a
14    single  return  covering  all such registered businesses, but
15    shall  file  separate  returns  for  each   such   registered
16    business.
17        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
18    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund,  a
19    special  fund  in the State Treasury which is hereby created,
20    the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the  1%
21    tax  on  sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be
22    consumed off the  premises  where  it  is  sold  (other  than
23    alcoholic  beverages,  soft  drinks  and  food which has been
24    prepared for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription  and
25    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
26    insulin,  urine  testing materials, syringes and needles used
27    by diabetics.
28        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
29    shall  pay  into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
30    of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from  the
31    6.25%  general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
32    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
33    retailer and which is titled or registered by  an  agency  of
34    this State's government.

 4    realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general  rate
 5    on  the  selling  price  of tangible personal property, other

 9        Beginning November 1, 1998,  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 Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
16    revenue realized for  the  preceding  month  from  the  6.25%
17    general  rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible personal
18    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
19    retailer and which is titled or registered by  an  agency  of
20    this State's government.
21        Beginning  November  1,  1998,  and  so  long as the rate
22    remains at 1.25%, each month the Department  shall  pay  into
23    the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized
24    for  the  preceding  month from the 1.25% rate on the selling
25    price of motor fuel and gasohol.
26        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
27    pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall  be  paid  into
28    the  Build  Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
29    and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8%  thereof  shall  be  paid
30    into  the  Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
31    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
32    as the case may be, of the moneys received by the  Department
33    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant

34    Comptroller  shall  order transferred and the Treasurer shall
SB1458 Engrossed            -20-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel  Tax
 2    Fund  an  amount  equal  to  1.7%  of  80% of the net revenue
 3    realized under this  Act  for  the  second  preceding  month;
 4    except  that  this  transfer shall not be made for the months
 5    February through June of 1992.
 6        Net revenue realized for a month  shall  be  the  revenue
 7    collected  by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
 8    paid out during  that  month  as  refunds  to  taxpayers  for
 9    overpayment of liability.
10        For  greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
11    importers and wholesalers whose products are sold  at  retail
12    in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
13    assume  the  responsibility  for accounting and paying to the
14    Department all tax accruing under this Act  with  respect  to
15    such  sales,  if  the  retailers who are affected do not make
16    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.

18        (Text of Section after amendment by P.A. 90-491)
19        Sec.  9.  Except  as  to  motor   vehicles,   watercraft,
20    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
21    with an agency of  this  State,  each  retailer  required  or
22    authorized  to  collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
23    to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
24    provided) at the time when he is required to file his  return
25    for  the  period  during which such tax was collected, less a
26    discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75%  on  and
27    after  January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
28    greater, which is  allowed  to  reimburse  the  retailer  for
29    expenses  incurred  in  collecting  the tax, keeping records,
30    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
31    data to the Department on request.  In the case of  retailers
32    who  report  and  pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
33    basis, as provided in this Section, such  discount  shall  be
34    taken  with  each  such  tax  remittance instead of when such
SB1458 Engrossed            -21-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    retailer files his periodic  return.   A  retailer  need  not
 2    remit  that  part  of  any tax collected by him to the extent
 3    that he is required to remit and does remit the  tax  imposed
 4    by  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax Act, with respect to the
 5    sale of the same property.
 6        Where such tangible personal property  is  sold  under  a
 7    conditional  sales  contract, or under any other form of sale
 8    wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part  thereof,
 9    is  extended  beyond  the  close  of the period for which the
10    return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax  (except
11    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
12    are  required to be registered with an agency of this State),
13    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
14    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
15    received during such tax return period.
16        Except as provided in this  Section,  on  or  before  the
17    twentieth  day  of  each  calendar month, such retailer shall
18    file a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such  return
19    shall  be  filed  on  forms  prescribed by the Department and
20    shall  furnish  such  information  as  the   Department   may
21    reasonably require.
22        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
23    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
24    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
25    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
26    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
27    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
28    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
29    stating:
30             1.  The name of the seller;
31             2.  The  address  of the principal place of business
32        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
33        personal property at retail in this State;
34             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
SB1458 Engrossed            -22-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1        him during the preceding calendar  month  from  sales  of
 2        tangible  personal  property by him during such preceding
 3        calendar month, including receipts from charge  and  time
 4        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
 5             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
 6        this Act;
 7             5.  The amount of tax due;
 8             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
 9             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
10        Department may require.
11        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
12    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
13    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
14    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
15        Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an  average
16    monthly  tax  liability  of  $150,000  or more shall make all
17    payments required by rules of the  Department  by  electronic
18    funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
19    an  average  monthly  tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
20    make all payments required by  rules  of  the  Department  by
21    electronic  funds  transfer.  Beginning  October  1,  1995, a
22    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
23    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
24    Department by electronic funds transfer.  The  term  "average
25    monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the taxpayer's
26    liabilities under this Act, and under  all  other  State  and
27    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
28    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
29    divided by 12.
30        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
31    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
32    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
33    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
34    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
SB1458 Engrossed            -23-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    1.
 2        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
 3    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
 4    with the permission of the Department.
 5        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
 6    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
 7    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
 8    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
 9        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
10    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
11    requirements of this Section.
12        If the taxpayer's average monthly tax  liability  to  the
13    Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
14    the  Service  Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act was
15    $10,000 or more during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
16    quarters,  he  shall  file  a return with the Department each
17    month by the 20th day of the month next following  the  month
18    during  which  such  tax liability is incurred and shall make
19    payments to the Department on or before the 7th,  15th,  22nd
20    and  last  day  of  the  month during which such liability is
21    incurred.  If the month during which such  tax  liability  is
22    incurred  began  prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
23    be in an  amount  equal  to  1/4  of  the  taxpayer's  actual
24    liability  for  the  month or an amount set by the Department
25    not to exceed 1/4 of the average  monthly  liability  of  the
26    taxpayer  to  the  Department  for  the  preceding 4 complete
27    calendar quarters (excluding the month of  highest  liability
28    and  the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
29    If the month during which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred
30    begins  on  or after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1,
31    1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to  22.5%  of
32    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
33    taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar  month of the
34    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
SB1458 Engrossed            -24-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior  to
 2    January  1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
 3    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability  for  the  month  or
 4    26.25%  of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for the same calendar
 5    month of the preceding year.  If the month during which  such
 6    tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
 7    and  prior  to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
 8    1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
 9    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%  of  the
10    taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar  month of the
11    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
12    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior  to
13    January  1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
14    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
15    of the taxpayer's liability for the same  calendar  month  of
16    the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
17    for the quarter monthly reporting period.  The amount of such
18    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
19    tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.   Once
20    applicable,  the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
21    payments  to  the  Department  shall  continue   until   such
22    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
23    the  preceding  4  complete  calendar quarters (excluding the
24    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
25    is less than $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly
26    liability to the Department as  computed  for  each  calendar
27    quarter  of  the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
28    is less than $10,000.  However, if a taxpayer  can  show  the
29    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
30    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
31    that  his  average  monthly  tax liability for the reasonably
32    foreseeable  future  will  fall  below  $10,000,  then   such
33    taxpayer  may  petition  the  Department  for  change in such
34    taxpayer's reporting status.   The  Department  shall  change
SB1458 Engrossed            -25-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    such  taxpayer's  reporting  status unless it finds that such
 2    change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long  term.
 3    If  any  such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time
 4    or in the amount required by this Section, then the  taxpayer
 5    shall  be liable for penalties and interest on the difference
 6    between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
 7    monthly payment actually and timely paid, except  insofar  as
 8    the  taxpayer  has previously made payments for that month to
 9    the Department in excess of the minimum  payments  previously
10    due  as  provided in this Section.  The Department shall make
11    reasonable  rules  and  regulations  to  govern  the  quarter
12    monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates  for
13    taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
14        If  any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
15    the taxpayer's liabilities under  this  Act,  the  Retailers'
16    Occupation  Tax  Act,  the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
17    Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly  return,
18    the   Department   shall  issue  to  the  taxpayer  a  credit
19    memorandum no later than 30 days after the date  of  payment,
20    which  memorandum  may  be  submitted  by the taxpayer to the
21    Department in payment of tax  liability  subsequently  to  be
22    remitted  by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
23    the taxpayer to  a  similar  taxpayer  under  this  Act,  the
24    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
25    or  the  Service  Use  Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
26    rules and regulations to be  prescribed  by  the  Department,
27    except  that  if  such excess payment is shown on an original
28    monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
29    memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
30    If no such request is made,  the  taxpayer  may  credit  such
31    excess  payment  against  tax  liability  subsequently  to be
32    remitted by the taxpayer to the Department  under  this  Act,
33    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
34    Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
SB1458 Engrossed            -26-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    rules  and  regulations prescribed by the Department.  If the
 2    Department subsequently determines that all or  any  part  of
 3    the  credit  taken  was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
 4    taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall  be  reduced
 5    by  2.1%  or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
 6    and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be  liable  for
 7    penalties and interest on such difference.
 8        If  the  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
 9    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
10    the Department does  not  exceed  $200,  the  Department  may
11    authorize  his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
12    with the return for January, February, and March of  a  given
13    year  being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
14    April, May and June of a given year being due by July  20  of
15    such  year; with the return for July, August and September of
16    a given year being due by October 20 of such year,  and  with
17    the return for October, November and December of a given year
18    being due by January 20 of the following year.
19        If  the  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
20    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
21    liability  to  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50,   the
22    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
23    basis,  with the return for a given year being due by January
24    20 of the following year.
25        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
26    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
27    monthly returns.
28        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
29    concerning  the  time  within  which  a retailer may file his
30    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
31    kind of business  which  makes  him  responsible  for  filing
32    returns  under  this  Act,  such  retailer shall file a final
33    return under this Act with the Department not more  than  one
34    month after discontinuing such business.

 1        In  addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
 2    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
 3    with  an  agency  of  this State, every retailer selling this
 4    kind of tangible  personal  property  shall  file,  with  the
 5    Department,  upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
 6    Department, a separate return for each such item of  tangible
 7    personal  property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except that
 8    where, in the  same  transaction,  a  retailer  of  aircraft,
 9    watercraft,  motor  vehicles  or trailers transfers more than
10    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
11    aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer  retailer  for
12    the  purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report the
13    transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor  vehicles  or
14    trailers  involved  in  that transaction to the Department on
15    the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting  return  form.
16    For  purposes  of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
17    Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section  3-2  of
18    the  Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft,
19    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
20        The transaction reporting return in  the  case  of  motor
21    vehicles  or trailers that are required to be registered with
22    an agency of this State, shall be the same  document  as  the
23    Uniform  Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
24    Vehicle Code and must  show  the  name  and  address  of  the
25    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
26    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
27    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
28    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
29    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
30    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
31    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
32    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
33    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
34    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
SB1458 Engrossed            -28-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
 2    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
 3    place  and  date  of the sale; a sufficient identification of
 4    the property sold; such other information as is  required  in
 5    Section  5-402  of  the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
 6    information as the Department may reasonably require.
 7        The  transaction  reporting  return  in   the   case   of
 8    watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
 9    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
10    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
11    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
12    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
13    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
14    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
15    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
16    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
17    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
18    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
19    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
20    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
21    place  and  date  of the sale, a sufficient identification of
22    the  property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as   the
23    Department may reasonably require.
24        Such  transaction  reporting  return  shall  be filed not
25    later than 20 days after the date of  delivery  of  the  item
26    that  is  being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any
27    time  sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.    The
28    transaction  reporting  return and tax remittance or proof of
29    exemption from the tax that is imposed by  this  Act  may  be
30    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
31    which,  or  State  officer  with  whom, the tangible personal
32    property  must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling   or
33    registration  is  required) if the Department and such agency
34    or State officer determine that this procedure will  expedite
SB1458 Engrossed            -29-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    the processing of applications for title or registration.
 2        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
 3    shall  remit  the  proper  amount of tax due (or shall submit
 4    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
 5    the case), to the Department or  its  agents,  whereupon  the
 6    Department  shall  issue,  in  the  purchaser's  name,  a tax
 7    receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the  Department  is
 8    satisfied  that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
 9    purchaser may submit to  the  agency  with  which,  or  State
10    officer  with  whom,  he  must title or register the tangible
11    personal  property  that   is   involved   (if   titling   or
12    registration  is  required)  in  support  of such purchaser's
13    application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence  of
14    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
15        No  retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
16    Act precludes a user, who has paid  the  proper  tax  to  the
17    retailer,  from  obtaining  his certificate of title or other
18    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
19    is required) upon satisfying the Department  that  such  user
20    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
21    Department  shall  adopt  appropriate  rules to carry out the
22    mandate of this paragraph.
23        If the user who would otherwise pay tax to  the  retailer
24    wants  the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
25    of tax or proof of exemption made to  the  Department  before
26    the  retailer  is willing to take these actions and such user
27    has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user  may  certify
28    to  the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the
29    Department   being   satisfied   of   the   truth   of   such
30    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
31    transaction reporting return and the remittance  for  tax  or
32    proof  of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
33    tax receipt or exemption determination, in  which  event  the
34    transaction  reporting  return  and  tax remittance (if a tax
SB1458 Engrossed            -30-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    payment was required) shall be credited by the Department  to
 2    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
 3    without  the  2.1%  or  1.75%  discount  provided for in this
 4    Section being allowed.  When the user pays the  tax  directly
 5    to  the  Department,  he shall pay the tax in the same amount
 6    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
 7    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
 8        Where a retailer collects the tax  with  respect  to  the
 9    selling  price  of  tangible personal property which he sells
10    and the purchaser thereafter returns such  tangible  personal
11    property  and  the retailer refunds the selling price thereof
12    to the purchaser, such retailer shall  also  refund,  to  the
13    purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected  from the purchaser. When
14    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
15    to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount  of  the
16    tax  so  refunded  by him to the purchaser from any other use
17    tax which such retailer may be required to pay  or  remit  to
18    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
19    tax  to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department
20    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
21    remitted the amount of such tax  to  the  Department,  he  is
22    entitled  to  no deduction under this Act upon refunding such
23    tax to the purchaser.
24        Any retailer filing a return  under  this  Section  shall
25    also  include  (for  the  purpose  of paying tax thereon) the
26    total tax covered by such return upon the  selling  price  of
27    tangible  personal property purchased by him at retail from a
28    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
29    collected from the retailer  filing  such  return,  and  such
30    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
31    when filing such return.
32        If  experience  indicates  such action to be practicable,
33    the Department may prescribe and  furnish  a  combination  or
34    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
SB1458 Engrossed            -31-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    file   returns   hereunder  and  also  under  the  Retailers'
 2    Occupation Tax Act, to furnish  all  the  return  information
 3    required by both Acts on the one form.
 4        Where  the retailer has more than one business registered
 5    with the Department under separate  registration  under  this
 6    Act,  such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
 7    single return covering all such  registered  businesses,  but
 8    shall   file   separate  returns  for  each  such  registered
 9    business.
10        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
11    shall  pay  into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
12    special fund in the State Treasury which is  hereby  created,
13    the  net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%
14    tax on sales of food for human consumption  which  is  to  be
15    consumed  off  the  premises  where  it  is  sold (other than
16    alcoholic beverages, soft drinks  and  food  which  has  been
17    prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription and

31    realized  for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
32    on the selling price of  tangible  personal  property,  other
33    than  tangible  personal  property which is purchased outside
34    Illinois at retail from a retailer and  which  is  titled  or

 9    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
10    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
11    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
12    retailer  and  which  is titled or registered by an agency of
13    this State's government.

15    remains  at  1.25%,  each month the Department shall pay into
16    the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized
17    for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate  on  the  selling
18    price of motor fuel and gasohol.
19        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
20    pursuant  to  this  Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
21    the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,  1989,  2.2%
22    and  on  and  after  July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
23    into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that  if  in
24    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
25    as  the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
26    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant

28    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and

30    hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of  2.2%
31    or  3.8%,  as  the  case  may be, of moneys being hereinafter
32    called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the  amount  transferred

16    aggregate  payments  into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
17    this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the  greater
18    of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount

23    and  outstanding  pursuant  to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
24    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
25    to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for  the

 6    distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be made if the

10        Subject to payment of amounts  into  the  Build  Illinois
11    Fund,  the  McCormick  Place  Expansion Project Fund, and the

 7    Department  all  tax  accruing under this Act with respect to
 8    such sales, if the retailers who are  affected  do  not  make
 9    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.

12        Section  10.   The  Service  Use  Tax  Act  is amended by

15        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
16    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
17    6.25% of the selling  price  of  tangible  personal  property
18    transferred  as  an incident to the sale of service, but, for
19    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
20    selling  price be less than the cost price of the property to
21    the serviceman.
22        With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1  of
23    the  Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
24    3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at  the  rate  of
25    1.25%.    If,  however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
26    fuel and gasohol under the Use Tax Act, the Service  Use  Tax
27    Act,  the  Service  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and the Retailers'
28    Occupation Tax Act during the period  from  October  1,  2001
29    through September 30, 2002 are not at least 15% more than the
30    aggregate  tax  revenues  from  motor  fuel and gasohol under
31    those Acts during the period from  October  1,  1998  through
32    September 30, 1999, then beginning January 1, 2003 the tax is
SB1458 Engrossed            -38-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.
 2        With  respect  to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act,
 3    the tax imposed by this Act applies to  70%  of  the  selling
 4    price  of  property transferred as an incident to the sale of
 5    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 1999,
 6    and to 100% of the selling price thereafter, except that from
 7    July 1, 1997 to July 1, 1999,  the  rate  shall  be  85%  for
 8    gasohol  sold  in  this  State during the 12 months beginning
 9    July 1 following any calendar year for which  the  Department
10    has  determined  that  the  percentages  in Section 10 of the
11    Gasohol Fuels Tax Abatement Act have not been met.
12        At the election of any  registered  serviceman  made  for
13    each  fiscal  year,  sales  of service in which the aggregate
14    annual cost price of tangible personal  property  transferred
15    as  an  incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or
16    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
17    or servicemen engaged in  graphic  arts  production,  of  the
18    aggregate  annual  total  gross  receipts  from  all sales of
19    service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be  based  on  the
20    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
21    transferred as an incident to the sale of those services.
22        The tax shall be imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food
23    prepared  for  immediate consumption and transferred incident
24    to a sale of service subject  to  this  Act  or  the  Service
25    Occupation  Tax  Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
26    Licensing Act or the Nursing Home Care Act.   The  tax  shall
27    also  be  imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food  for human
28    consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where  it
29    is  sold  (other  than  alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and

32    the  amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the
33    time when he is required to file his return  for  the  period

 2    prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and  after  January  1,
 3    1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
 4    allowed  to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in
 5    collecting the tax, keeping  records,  preparing  and  filing
 6    returns,   remitting  the  tax  and  supplying  data  to  the
 7    Department on request. A serviceman need not remit that  part
 8    of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
 9    to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
10    Tax  Act  with  respect  to his sale of service involving the
11    incidental transfer by him of the same property.
12        Except as provided hereinafter in  this  Section,  on  or
13    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
14    serviceman  shall  file  a  return for the preceding calendar
15    month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations  to
16    be  promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed
17    on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
18    information as the Department may reasonably require.
19        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
20    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar
21    quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of  the
22    calendar  month  following  the end of such calendar quarter.
23    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
24    each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on  or
25    before  the  twentieth  day  of the following calendar month,
26    stating:
27             1.  The name of the seller;
28             2.  The address of the principal place  of  business
29        from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
30        State;
31             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
32        him   during  the  preceding  calendar  month,  including
33        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all
34        deductions allowed by law;

 1             4.  The amount of credit provided in Section  2d  of
 2        this Act;
 3             5.  The amount of tax due;
 4             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
 5             6.  Such   other   reasonable   information  as  the
 6        Department may require.
 7        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
 8    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
 9    the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown  to
10    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
11        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
12    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
13    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
14    funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1994,  a  taxpayer  who
15    has  an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $100,000 or more
16    shall make all payments required by rules of  the  Department
17    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a
18    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
19    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
20    Department by electronic funds transfer.  The  term  "average
21    monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the taxpayer's
22    liabilities under this Act, and under  all  other  State  and
23    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
24    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
25    divided by 12.
26        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
27    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
28    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
29    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
30    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
31    1.
32        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
33    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
34    with the permission of the Department.

 1        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
 2    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
 3    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
 4    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
 5        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
 6    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
 7    requirements of this Section.
 8        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
 9    return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax  liability
10    to  the  Department  does not exceed $200, the Department may
11    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
12    with  the  return  for January, February and March of a given
13    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
14    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
15    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
16    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
17    the return for October, November and December of a given year
18    being due by January 20 of the following year.
19        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
20    or quarterly return and if the serviceman's  average  monthly
21    tax  liability  to  the  Department  does not exceed $50, the
22    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
23    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
24    20 of the following year.
25        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
26    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
27    monthly returns.
28        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
29    concerning the time within which a serviceman  may  file  his
30    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
31    a  kind  of  business  which makes him responsible for filing
32    returns under this Act, such serviceman shall  file  a  final
33    return  under  this  Act  with the Department not more than 1
34    month after discontinuing such business.

 1        Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect  to  the
 2    selling  price  of  property which he sells and the purchaser
 3    thereafter returns such property and the  serviceman  refunds
 4    the  selling  price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
 5    shall also refund, to the purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected
 6    from  the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in
 7    which he refunds such tax to the  purchaser,  the  serviceman
 8    may  deduct  the  amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
 9    purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service  Occupation
10    Tax,   retailers'  occupation  tax  or  use  tax  which  such
11    serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
12    as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the  tax
13    to  be  deducted  shall  previously have been remitted to the
14    Department by such serviceman. If the  serviceman  shall  not
15    previously  have  remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the
16    Department, he shall be entitled to  no  deduction  hereunder
17    upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
18        Any  serviceman  filing  a  return  hereunder  shall also
19    include the total tax upon  the  selling  price  of  tangible
20    personal  property purchased for use by him as an incident to
21    a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
22    of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
23        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
24    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
25    joint return which will enable servicemen, who  are  required
26    to   file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under  the  Service
27    Occupation Tax Act, to furnish  all  the  return  information
28    required by both Acts on the one form.
29        Where   the   serviceman   has  more  than  one  business
30    registered with the Department  under  separate  registration
31    hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
32    due   as   a  single  return  covering  all  such  registered
33    businesses, but shall file separate  returns  for  each  such
34    registered business.

 4    preceding  month  from  the 1% tax on sales of food for human
 5    consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it

12        Section 15.  The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
13    changing Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:
14        (35 ILCS 115/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)
15        Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax.   Unless  otherwise  provided  in
16    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
17    6.25% of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of  the
18    Service  Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.  For
19    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
20    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
21    of  the  tangible personal property transferred.  The selling
22    price of each item of tangible personal property  transferred
23    as  an  incident  of  a  sale  of  service  may be shown as a
24    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
25    service customer. If the selling price is not so  shown,  the
26    selling  price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
27    be 50% of the serviceman's  entire  billing  to  the  service
28    customer.   When,  however, a serviceman contracts to design,
29    develop, and produce special order  machinery  or  equipment,
30    the   tax   imposed  by  this  Act  shall  be  based  on  the
31    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
32    transferred incident to the completion of the contract.

 1        With  respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of
 2    the Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as  defined  in  Section
 3    3-40  of  the  Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of
 4    1.25%.  If, however, the aggregate tax  revenues  from  motor
 5    fuel  and  gasohol under the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax
 6    Act, the Service  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and  the  Retailers'
 7    Occupation  Tax  Act  during  the period from October 1, 2001
 8    through September 30, 2002 are not at least 15% more than the
 9    aggregate tax revenues from  motor  fuel  and  gasohol  under
10    those  Acts  during  the  period from October 1, 1998 through
11    September 30, 1999, then beginning January 1, 2003 the tax is
12    imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.
13        With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use  Tax  Act,
14    the  tax  imposed  by this Act shall apply to 70% of the cost
15    price of property transferred as an incident to the  sale  of
16    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 1999,
17    and  to  100%  of the cost price thereafter, except that from
18    July 1, 1997 to July 1, 1999,  the  rate  shall  be  85%  for
19    gasohol  sold  in  this  State during the 12 months beginning
20    July 1 following any calendar year for which  the  Department
21    has  determined  that  the  percentages  in Section 10 of the
22    Gasohol Fuels Tax Abatement Act have not been met.
23        At the election of any  registered  serviceman  made  for
24    each  fiscal  year,  sales  of service in which the aggregate
25    annual cost price of tangible personal  property  transferred
26    as  an  incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or
27    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
28    or servicemen engaged in  graphic  arts  production,  of  the
29    aggregate  annual  total  gross  receipts  from  all sales of
30    service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be  based  on  the
31    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
32    transferred incident to the sale of those services.
33        The tax shall be imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food
34    prepared  for  immediate consumption and transferred incident
SB1458 Engrossed            -51-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    to a sale of service subject  to  this  Act  or  the  Service
 2    Occupation  Tax  Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
 3    Licensing Act or the Nursing Home Care Act.   The  tax  shall
 4    also  be  imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food  for human
 5    consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where  it
 6    is  sold  (other  than  alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and
 7    food that has been prepared for immediate consumption and  is
 8    not  otherwise  included  in this paragraph) and prescription
 9    and nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances,
10    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
11    it  usable  by  a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
12    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
13    use.  For the  purposes  of  this  Section,  the  term  "soft
14    drinks"   means   any   complete,   finished,   ready-to-use,
15    non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not, including but
16    not  limited  to  soda  water,  cola,  fruit juice, vegetable
17    juice, carbonated water, and all other preparations  commonly
18    known as soft drinks of whatever kind or description that are

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

 1        Sec.  9.   Each  serviceman  required  or  authorized  to
 2    collect  the  tax  herein imposed shall pay to the Department
 3    the amount of such tax at the time when  he  is  required  to
 4    file  his  return  for  the  period during which such tax was
 5    collectible, less a discount of  2.1%  prior  to  January  1,

 7    calendar year, whichever is  greater,  which  is  allowed  to
 8    reimburse  the serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting
 9    the tax,  keeping  records,  preparing  and  filing  returns,
10    remitting  the  tax  and  supplying data to the Department on
11    request.
12        Where such tangible personal property  is  sold  under  a
13    conditional  sales  contract, or under any other form of sale
14    wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part  thereof,
15    is  extended  beyond  the  close  of the period for which the
16    return is filed, the serviceman, in collecting  the  tax  may
17    collect,  for each tax return period, only the tax applicable
18    to the part of the selling  price  actually  received  during
19    such tax return period.
20        Except  as  provided  hereinafter  in this Section, on or
21    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
22    serviceman shall file a return  for  the  preceding  calendar
23    month  in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to

26    shall  contain  such  information  as  the   Department   may
27    reasonably require.
28        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
29    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
30    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
31    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
32    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for

 4        from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
 5        State;

 7        him  during  the  preceding  calendar  month,   including
 8        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all

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

33    his  returns  to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
34    return for January, February and March of a given year  being
SB1458 Engrossed            -54-               LRB9011307KDbd

 4    year being due by October 20  of  such  year,  and  with  the

 9    his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with  the  return
10    for  a  given  year  being due by January 20 of the following
11    year.
12        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
13    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
14    monthly returns.
15        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
16    concerning  the  time  within which a serviceman may file his
17    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
18    a kind of business which makes  him  responsible  for  filing
19    returns  under  this  Act, such serviceman shall file a final
20    return under this Act with the Department  not  more  than  1
21    month after discontinuing such business.
22        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
23    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
24    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
25    funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1994,  a  taxpayer  who
26    has  an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $100,000 or more
27    shall make all payments required by rules of  the  Department
28    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a
29    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
30    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
31    Department by electronic funds transfer.  The  term  "average
32    monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the taxpayer's
33    liabilities under this Act, and under  all  other  State  and
34    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
SB1458 Engrossed            -55-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    Department,  for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year
 2    divided by 12.
 3        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
 4    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
 5    payments  by  electronic  funds  transfer.    All   taxpayers
 6    required  to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
 7    make those payments for a minimum of one  year  beginning  on
 8    October 1.
 9        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
10    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
11    with the permission of the Department.
12        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
13    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
14    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
15    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
16        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
17    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
18    requirements of this Section.
19        Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect  to  the
20    selling  price  of  tangible personal property which he sells
21    and the purchaser thereafter returns such  tangible  personal
22    property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
23    to  the  purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
24    purchaser, the tax so collected  from  the  purchaser.   When
25    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
26    to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
27    tax  so  refunded  by  him  to  the  purchaser from any other
28    Service  Occupation  Tax,   Service   Use   Tax,   Retailers'
29    Occupation  Tax  or  Use  Tax  which  such  serviceman may be
30    required to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by  such
31    return,  provided  that  the amount of the tax to be deducted
32    shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
33    serviceman.  If the  serviceman  shall  not  previously  have
34    remitted  the  amount of such tax to the Department, he shall
SB1458 Engrossed            -56-               LRB9011307KDbd
 1    be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
 2    to the purchaser.
 3        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
 4    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
 5    joint return which will enable servicemen, who  are  required
 6    to  file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under the Retailers'
 7    Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act or the  Service  Use  Tax
 8    Act,  to  furnish  all the return information required by all
 9    said Acts on the one form.
10        Where  the  serviceman  has  more   than   one   business
11    registered  with  the Department under separate registrations
12    hereunder, such serviceman shall file  separate  returns  for
13    each registered business.
14        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
15    shall pay into the Local  Government  Tax  Fund  the  revenue
16    realized  for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of
17    food for human consumption which is to be  consumed  off  the
18    premises  where  it  is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,

27        Beginning November 1, 1998,  and  so  long  as  the  rate
28    remains  at  1.25%,  each month the Department shall pay into

30    revenue  realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate
31    on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.

 5    for  the  preceding  month from the 1.25% rate on the selling
 6    price of motor fuel and gasohol.
 7        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
 8    pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall  be  paid  into
 9    the  Build  Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
10    and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8%  thereof  shall  be  paid
11    into  the  Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
12    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
13    as the case may be, of the moneys received by the  Department
14    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
