30    other non-exempt manner, the lessor shall be liable  for  the
31    tax  imposed  under  this Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case
32    may be, based on the fair market value of the property at the
33    time the non-qualifying use occurs.  No lessor shall  collect
34    or  attempt  to  collect  an amount (however designated) that
 
                            -15-              LRB9112250SMdvA

 3    not been paid by the lessor.  If a lessor improperly collects
 4    any  such  amount  from  the  lessee, the lessee shall have a
 5    legal right to claim a refund of that amount from the lessor.
 6    If, however, that amount is not refunded to  the  lessee  for
