 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-                LRB9112104SMdv
 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, 2001
 5    through December 31, 2001 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,  2000  through
 8    December  31, 2000, then beginning January 1, 2004 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-                LRB9112104SMdv
 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.
13    (Source:  P.A.  90-605,  eff.  6-30-98; 90-606, eff. 6-30-98;
14    91-51, eff. 6-30-99.)

15        (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
16        Sec.  9.  Except  as  to  motor   vehicles,   watercraft,
17    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
18    with an agency of  this  State,  each  retailer  required  or
19    authorized  to  collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
20    to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
21    provided) at the time when he is required to file his  return
22    for  the  period  during which such tax was collected, less a
23    discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75%  on  and
24    after  January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
25    greater, which is  allowed  to  reimburse  the  retailer  for
26    expenses  incurred  in  collecting  the tax, keeping records,
27    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
28    data to the Department on request.  In the case of  retailers
29    who  report  and  pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
30    basis, as provided in this Section, such  discount  shall  be
31    taken  with  each  such  tax  remittance instead of when such
32    retailer files his periodic  return.   A  retailer  need  not
33    remit  that  part  of  any tax collected by him to the extent
 
                            -4-                LRB9112104SMdv
 1    that he is required to remit and does remit the  tax  imposed
 2    by  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax Act, with respect to the
 3    sale of the same property.
 4        Where such tangible personal property  is  sold  under  a
 5    conditional  sales  contract, or under any other form of sale
 6    wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part  thereof,
 7    is  extended  beyond  the  close  of the period for which the
 8    return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax  (except
 9    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
10    are  required to be registered with an agency of this State),
11    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
12    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
13    received during such tax return period.
14        Except as provided in this  Section,  on  or  before  the
15    twentieth  day  of  each  calendar month, such retailer shall
16    file a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such  return
17    shall  be  filed  on  forms  prescribed by the Department and
18    shall  furnish  such  information  as  the   Department   may
19    reasonably require.
20        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
21    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
22    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
23    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
24    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
25    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
26    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
27    stating:
28             1.  The name of the seller;
29             2.  The  address  of the principal place of business
30        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
31        personal property at retail in this State;
32             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
33        him during the preceding calendar  month  from  sales  of
34        tangible  personal  property by him during such preceding
 
                            -5-                LRB9112104SMdv
 1        calendar month, including receipts from charge  and  time
 2        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
 3             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
 4        this Act;
 5             5.  The amount of tax due;
 6             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
 7             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
 8        Department may require.
 9        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
10    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
11    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
12    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
13        Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an  average
14    monthly  tax  liability  of  $150,000  or more shall make all
15    payments required by rules of the  Department  by  electronic
16    funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
17    an  average  monthly  tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
18    make all payments required by  rules  of  the  Department  by
19    electronic  funds  transfer.  Beginning  October  1,  1995, a
20    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
21    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
22    Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
23    2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of  $200,000
24    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
25    Department by electronic funds transfer.   The  term  "annual
26    tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
27    under   this  Act,  and  under  all  other  State  and  local
28    occupation and use tax laws administered by  the  Department,
29    for   the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year.  The  term
30    "average  monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of   the
31    taxpayer's  liabilities  under  this Act, and under all other
32    State and local occupation and use tax laws  administered  by
33    the  Department,  for the immediately preceding calendar year
34    divided by 12.
 
                            -6-                LRB9112104SMdv
 1        Before August 1 of  each  year  beginning  in  1993,  the
 2    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
 3    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
 4    to  make  payments  by  electronic  funds transfer shall make
 5    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
 6    1.
 7        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic
 8    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
 9    with the permission of the Department.
10        All  taxpayers  required  to  make  payment by electronic
11    funds transfer and any taxpayers  authorized  to  voluntarily
12    make  payments  by electronic funds transfer shall make those
13    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
14        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
15    effectuate a program of electronic  funds  transfer  and  the
16    requirements of this Section.
17        Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
18    tax   liability   to  the  Department  under  this  Act,  the
19    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,  the  Service  Occupation  Tax
20    Act,  the  Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the
21    preceding 4 complete  calendar  quarters,  he  shall  file  a
22    return  with the Department each month by the 20th day of the
23    month  next  following  the  month  during  which  such   tax
24    liability   is  incurred  and  shall  make  payments  to  the
25    Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last  day  of
26    the  month  during  which  such liability is incurred. On and
27    after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly  tax
28    liability  to  the  Department under this Act, the Retailers'
29    Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act,  and  the
30    Service  Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the preceding
31    4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
32    Department each month by the  20th  day  of  the  month  next
33    following  the  month  during  which  such  tax  liability is
34    incurred and shall make  payment  to  the  Department  on  or
 
                            -7-                LRB9112104SMdv
 1    before  the  7th,  15th,  22nd  and  last day of or the month
 2    during which such liability is incurred. If the month  during
 3    which  such  tax liability is incurred began prior to January
 4    1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount equal to  1/4  of
 5    the  taxpayer's  actual  liability for the month or an amount
 6    set by the Department  not  to  exceed  1/4  of  the  average
 7    monthly  liability  of the taxpayer to the Department for the
 8    preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding  the  month
 9    of  highest  liability  and  the month of lowest liability in
10    such 4 quarter period).  If the month during which  such  tax
11    liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and
12    prior  to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
13    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
14    month  or  27.5%  of  the  taxpayer's  liability for the same
15    calendar month of the preceding year.  If  the  month  during
16    which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred  begins on or after
17    January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988,  each  payment
18    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
19    liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
20    for  the  same  calendar month of the preceding year.  If the
21    month during which such tax liability is incurred  begins  on
22    or  after  January  1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
23    begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be  in
24    an  amount  equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability
25    for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
26    calendar month of the preceding year.  If  the  month  during
27    which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred  begins on or after
28    January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996,  each  payment
29    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
30    liability  for  the  month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
31    for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100%  of
32    the  taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the  quarter monthly
33    reporting  period.   The  amount  of  such  quarter   monthly
34    payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
 
                            -8-                LRB9112104SMdv
 1    the  taxpayer's  return  for  that  month.  Before October 1,
 2    2000, once applicable,  the  requirement  of  the  making  of
 3    quarter  monthly  payments  to  the Department shall continue
 4    until  such  taxpayer's  average  monthly  liability  to  the
 5    Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar  quarters
 6    (excluding  the  month  of highest liability and the month of
 7    lowest  liability)  is  less  than  $9,000,  or  until   such
 8    taxpayer's  average  monthly  liability  to the Department as
 9    computed  for  each  calendar  quarter  of  the  4  preceding
10    complete  calendar  quarter  period  is  less  than  $10,000.
11    However, if  a  taxpayer  can  show  the  Department  that  a
12    substantial  change  in  the taxpayer's business has occurred
13    which causes the taxpayer  to  anticipate  that  his  average
14    monthly  tax  liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
15    will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
16    taxpayer may petition  the  Department  for  change  in  such
17    taxpayer's  reporting  status.  On and after October 1, 2000,
18    once applicable, the requirement of  the  making  of  quarter
19    monthly  payments to the Department shall continue until such
20    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
21    the preceding 4 complete  calendar  quarters  (excluding  the
22    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
23    is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
24    liability  to  the  Department  as computed for each calendar
25    quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar  quarter  period
26    is  less  than  $20,000.  However, if a taxpayer can show the
27    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
28    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
29    that his average monthly tax  liability  for  the  reasonably
30    foreseeable  future  will  fall  below  the $20,000 threshold
31    stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the  Department
32    for  a  change  in  such  taxpayer's  reporting  status.  The
33    Department shall  change  such  taxpayer's  reporting  status
34    unless  it  finds  that such change is seasonal in nature and
 
                            -9-                LRB9112104SMdv
 1    not likely to be long  term.  If  any  such  quarter  monthly
 2    payment  is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
 3    this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
 4    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
 5    and the amount of such quarter monthly payment  actually  and
 6    timely  paid,  except  insofar as the taxpayer has previously
 7    made payments for that month to the Department in  excess  of
 8    the  minimum  payments  previously  due  as  provided in this
 9    Section.  The Department  shall  make  reasonable  rules  and
10    regulations  to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
11    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
12    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
 
                            -10-               LRB9112104SMdv
 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

 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.
 
                            -13-               LRB9112104SMdv
 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
 
                            -14-               LRB9112104SMdv
 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'
 
                            -15-               LRB9112104SMdv
 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 January 1,  2001,  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  January  1,  2001,  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

10    Annual  Specified  Amount,  an amount equal to the difference
11    shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois  Fund  from
12    other  moneys  received by the Department pursuant to the Tax
13    Acts; and, further provided,  that  in  no  event  shall  the
14    payments  required  under  the  preceding  proviso  result in
15    aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund  pursuant  to
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

 3        Subject to payment of amounts  into  the  Build  Illinois
 4    Fund  and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant
 5    to the preceding  paragraphs  or  in  any  amendment  thereto
 6    hereafter  enacted,  each month the Department shall pay into
 7    the Local Government Distributive Fund .4% of the net revenue
 8    realized for the preceding month from the 5% general rate, or
 9    .4% of 80% of the net  revenue  realized  for  the  preceding
10    month from the 6.25% general rate, as the case may be, on the
11    selling  price  of  tangible  personal  property which amount
12    shall, subject to appropriation, be distributed  as  provided
13    in Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act. No payments or
14    distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be made if the
15    tax  imposed  by  this  Act  on  photoprocessing  products is
16    declared unconstitutional, or if the proceeds from  such  tax
17    are unavailable for distribution because of litigation.
18        Subject  to  payment  of  amounts into the Build Illinois
19    Fund, the McCormick Place Expansion  Project  Fund,  and  the
20    Local  Government Distributive Fund pursuant to the preceding
21    paragraphs or in any amendments  thereto  hereafter  enacted,
22    beginning  July  1, 1993, the Department shall each month pay
23    into the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of the  net
24    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
25    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
26    property.
27        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
28    pursuant  to  this  Act,  75%  thereof shall be paid into the
29    State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
30    and used only for the transfer to the Common School  Fund  as
31    part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
32    accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
33        As  soon  as  possible after the first day of each month,
34    upon  certification  of  the  Department  of   Revenue,   the

 1    Comptroller  shall  order transferred and the Treasurer shall
 2    transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel  Tax
 3    Fund  an  amount  equal  to  1.7%  of  80% of the net revenue
 4    realized under this  Act  for  the  second  preceding  month.
 5    Beginning  April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
 6    and shall not be made.
 7        Net revenue realized for a month  shall  be  the  revenue
 8    collected  by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
 9    paid out during  that  month  as  refunds  to  taxpayers  for
10    overpayment of liability.
11        For  greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
12    importers and wholesalers whose products are sold  at  retail
13    in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
14    assume  the  responsibility  for accounting and paying to the
15    Department all tax accruing under this Act  with  respect  to
16    such  sales,  if  the  retailers who are affected do not make
17    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.

22    changing Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:

23        (35 ILCS 110/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.33-10)
24        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
25    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
26    6.25% of the selling  price  of  tangible  personal  property
27    transferred  as  an incident to the sale of service, but, for
28    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
29    selling  price be less than the cost price of the property to
30    the serviceman.
31        With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1  of
32    the  Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
 
                            -22-               LRB9112104SMdv
 1    3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at  the  rate  of
 2    1.25%.    If,  however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
 3    fuel and gasohol under the Use Tax Act, the Service  Use  Tax
 4    Act,  the  Service  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and the Retailers'
 5    Occupation Tax Act during the period  from  January  1,  2001
 6    through  December 31, 2001 are not at least 15% more than the
 7    aggregate tax revenues from  motor  fuel  and  gasohol  under
 8    those  Acts  during  the  period from January 1, 2000 through
 9    December 31, 2000, then beginning January 1, 2004 the tax  is
10    imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.
11        With  respect  to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act,
12    the tax imposed by this Act applies to  70%  of  the  selling
13    price  of  property transferred as an incident to the sale of
14    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
15    and to 100% of the selling price thereafter.
16        At the election of any  registered  serviceman  made  for
17    each  fiscal  year,  sales  of service in which the aggregate
18    annual cost price of tangible personal  property  transferred
19    as  an  incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or
20    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
21    or servicemen engaged in  graphic  arts  production,  of  the
22    aggregate  annual  total  gross  receipts  from  all sales of
23    service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be  based  on  the
24    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
25    transferred as an incident to the sale of those services.
26        The tax shall be imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food
27    prepared  for  immediate consumption and transferred incident
28    to a sale of service subject  to  this  Act  or  the  Service
29    Occupation  Tax  Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
30    Licensing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, or the  Child  Care
31    Act of 1969.  The tax shall also be imposed at the rate of 1%
32    on  food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
33    premises where it is sold (other  than  alcoholic  beverages,
34    soft  drinks,  and  food that has been prepared for immediate
 
                            -23-               LRB9112104SMdv

 2    and   prescription   and  nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,
 3    medical appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for  the
 4    purpose  of  rendering  it  usable  by a disabled person, and
 5    insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and needles  used
 6    by  diabetics,  for  human  use.  For  the  purposes  of this
 7    Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete, finished,
 8    ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not,
 9    including but not limited to soda water, cola,  fruit  juice,
10    vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all other preparations
11    commonly known as soft drinks of whatever kind or description
12    that  are  contained  in  any  closed  or sealed bottle, can,
13    carton, or container, regardless of size.  "Soft drinks" does
14    not  include  coffee,  tea,  non-carbonated   water,   infant
15    formula,  milk  or  milk  products  as defined in the Grade A
16    Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks  containing
17    50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
18        Notwithstanding  any  other provisions of this Act, "food
19    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
20    where it is sold" includes all food sold  through  a  vending
21    machine,  except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that are
22    dispensed hot from  a  vending  machine,  regardless  of  the
23    location of the vending machine.
24        If  the  property  that  is acquired from a serviceman is
25    acquired outside Illinois and used  outside  Illinois  before
26    being  brought  to Illinois for use here and is taxable under
27    this Act, the "selling price" on which the  tax  is  computed
28    shall  be  reduced  by an amount that represents a reasonable
29    allowance  for  depreciation  for   the   period   of   prior
30    out-of-state use.

 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 (except as otherwise provided) at  the
 4    time  when  he  is required to file his return for the period
 5    during which such tax was collected, less a discount of  2.1%
 6    prior  to  January  1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1,
 7    1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
 8    allowed to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred  in
 9    collecting  the  tax,  keeping  records, preparing and filing
10    returns,  remitting  the  tax  and  supplying  data  to   the
11    Department  on request. A serviceman need not remit that part
12    of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
13    to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
14    Tax Act with respect to his sale  of  service  involving  the
15    incidental transfer by him of the same property.
16        Except  as  provided  hereinafter  in this Section, on or
17    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
18    serviceman shall file a return  for  the  preceding  calendar
19    month  in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to
20    be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be  filed
21    on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
22    information as the Department may reasonably require.
23        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
24    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
25    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
26    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
27    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
28    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
29    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
30    stating:
31             1.  The name of the seller;
32             2.  The  address  of the principal place of business
33        from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
34        State;
 
                            -25-               LRB9112104SMdv
 1             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
 2        him  during  the  preceding  calendar  month,   including
 3        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all
 4        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
19    has an average monthly tax  liability  of  $100,000  or  more
20    shall  make  all payments required by rules of the Department
21    by 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. Beginning October 1,
25    2000,  a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000
26    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
27    Department  by  electronic  funds transfer.  The term "annual
28    tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
29    under  this  Act,  and  under  all  other  State  and   local
30    occupation  and  use tax laws administered by the Department,
31    for the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year.    The  term
32    "average   monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the
33    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
34    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by

 1    the 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 required
 6    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
 7    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
 8    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        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
20    return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax  liability
21    to  the  Department  does not exceed $200, the Department may
22    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
23    with  the  return  for January, February and March of a given
24    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
25    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
26    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
27    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
28    the return for October, November and December of a given year
29    being due by January 20 of the following year.
30        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
31    or quarterly return and if the serviceman's  average  monthly
32    tax  liability  to  the  Department  does not exceed $50, the
33    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
34    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
 
                            -27-               LRB9112104SMdv
 1    20 of the following year.
 2        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
 3    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
 4    monthly returns.
 5        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
 6    concerning the time within which a serviceman  may  file  his
 7    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
 8    a  kind  of  business  which makes him responsible for filing
 9    returns under this Act, such serviceman shall  file  a  final
10    return  under  this  Act  with the Department not more than 1
11    month after discontinuing such business.
12        Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect  to  the
13    selling  price  of  property which he sells and the purchaser
14    thereafter returns such property and the  serviceman  refunds
15    the  selling  price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
16    shall also refund, to the purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected
17    from  the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in
18    which he refunds such tax to the  purchaser,  the  serviceman
19    may  deduct  the  amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
20    purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service  Occupation
21    Tax,   retailers'  occupation  tax  or  use  tax  which  such
22    serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
23    as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the  tax
24    to  be  deducted  shall  previously have been remitted to the
25    Department by such serviceman. If the  serviceman  shall  not
26    previously  have  remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the
27    Department, he shall be entitled to  no  deduction  hereunder
28    upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
29        Any  serviceman  filing  a  return  hereunder  shall also
30    include the total tax upon  the  selling  price  of  tangible
31    personal  property purchased for use by him as an incident to
32    a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
33    of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
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  Service
 4    Occupation Tax Act, to furnish  all  the  return  information
 5    required by both Acts on the one form.
 6        Where   the   serviceman   has  more  than  one  business
 7    registered with the Department  under  separate  registration
 8    hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
 9    due   as   a  single  return  covering  all  such  registered
10    businesses, but shall file separate  returns  for  each  such
11    registered business.
12        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
13    shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
14    fund in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for  the
15    preceding  month  from  the 1% tax on sales of food for human
16    consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
17    is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
18    which  has  been  prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and
19    prescription and nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical
20    appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
21    needles used by diabetics.
22        Beginning  January  1,  2001,  and  so  long  as the rate
23    remains at 1.25%, each month the Department  shall  pay  into
24    the  County  and  Mass  Transit  District Fund 20% of the net
25    revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%  rate
26    on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
27        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
28    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund  20%
29    of  the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
30    6.25%  general  rate  on  transfers  of   tangible   personal
31    property,  other  than  tangible  personal  property which is
32    purchased outside Illinois at  retail  from  a  retailer  and
33    which  is  titled  or registered by an agency of this State's
34    government.

 4    for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate  on  the  selling
 5    price of motor fuel and gasohol.

 1        Section 15.  The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
 2    changing Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:

 3        (35 ILCS 115/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)
 4        Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax.   Unless  otherwise  provided  in
 5    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
 6    6.25% of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of  the
 7    Service  Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.  For
 8    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
 9    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
10    of  the  tangible personal property transferred.  The selling
11    price of each item of tangible personal property  transferred
12    as  an  incident  of  a  sale  of  service  may be shown as a
13    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
14    service customer. If the selling price is not so  shown,  the
15    selling  price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
16    be 50% of the serviceman's  entire  billing  to  the  service
17    customer.   When,  however, a serviceman contracts to design,
18    develop, and produce special order  machinery  or  equipment,
19    the   tax   imposed  by  this  Act  shall  be  based  on  the
20    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
21    transferred incident to the completion of the contract.
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 January 1, 2001
29    through December 31, 2001 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  January  1,  2000  through
32    December  31, 2000, then beginning January 1, 2004 the tax is
33    imposed on motor fuel and gasohol at the 6.25% general rate.

 1        With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use  Tax  Act,
 2    the  tax  imposed  by this Act shall apply to 70% of the cost
 3    price of property transferred as an incident to the  sale  of
 4    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
 5    and to 100% of the cost price thereafter.
 6        At  the  election  of  any registered serviceman made for
 7    each fiscal year, sales of service  in  which  the  aggregate
 8    annual  cost  price of tangible personal property transferred
 9    as an incident to the sales of service is less than  35%,  or
10    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
11    or  servicemen  engaged  in  graphic  arts production, of the
12    aggregate annual total  gross  receipts  from  all  sales  of
13    service,  the  tax  imposed by this Act shall be based on the
14    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
15    transferred incident to the sale of those services.
16        The  tax  shall  be  imposed  at  the  rate of 1% on food
17    prepared for immediate consumption and  transferred  incident
18    to  a  sale  of  service  subject  to this Act or the Service
19    Occupation Tax Act by an entity licensed under  the  Hospital
20    Licensing  Act,  the Nursing Home Care Act, or the Child Care
21    Act of 1969.  The tax shall also be imposed at the rate of 1%
22    on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off  the
23    premises  where  it  is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
24    soft drinks, and food that has been  prepared  for  immediate
25    consumption  and is not otherwise included in this paragraph)
26    and  prescription  and  nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,
27    medical  appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for the
28    purpose of rendering it usable  by  a  disabled  person,  and
29    insulin,  urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used
30    by diabetics, for  human  use.   For  the  purposes  of  this
31    Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete, finished,
32    ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not,
33    including  but  not limited to soda water, cola, fruit juice,
34    vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all other preparations

 2    that are contained in any closed or sealed  can,  carton,  or
 3    container,  regardless  of  size.   "Soft  drinks"  does  not
 4    include  coffee,  tea,  non-carbonated water, infant formula,
 5    milk or milk products as defined in the Grade  A  Pasteurized
 6    Milk  and Milk Products Act, or drinks containing 50% or more
 7    natural fruit or vegetable juice.
 8        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
 9    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
10    where  it  is  sold" includes all food sold through a vending
11    machine, except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that  are
12    dispensed  hot  from  a  vending  machine,  regardless of the
13    location of the vending machine.

17        Sec.  9.   Each  serviceman  required  or  authorized  to
18    collect  the  tax  herein imposed shall pay to the Department
19    the amount of such tax at the time when  he  is  required  to
20    file  his  return  for  the  period during which such tax was
21    collectible, less a discount of  2.1%  prior  to  January  1,
22    1990,  and  1.75%  on  and  after  January 1, 1990, or $5 per
23    calendar year, whichever is  greater,  which  is  allowed  to
24    reimburse  the serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting
25    the tax,  keeping  records,  preparing  and  filing  returns,
26    remitting  the  tax  and  supplying data to the Department on
27    request.
28        Where such tangible personal property  is  sold  under  a
29    conditional  sales  contract, or under any other form of sale
30    wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part  thereof,
31    is  extended  beyond  the  close  of the period for which the
32    return is filed, the serviceman, in collecting  the  tax  may
33    collect,  for each tax return period, only the tax applicable

 4    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
 5    serviceman shall file a return  for  the  preceding  calendar
 6    month  in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
 7    be promulgated by the Department of  Revenue.    Such  return
 8    shall  be  filed  on  a form prescribed by the Department and
 9    shall  contain  such  information  as  the   Department   may
10    reasonably require.
11        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
12    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
13    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
14    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
15    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for

21        from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
22        State;
23             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
24        him  during  the  preceding  calendar  month,   including
25        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all

 6    the  purchaser  provides  the  appropriate  documentation  as
 7    required  by  Section  3-70  of  the  Service Use Tax Act.  A
 8    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted  by  a
 9    serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
10    Act,  may  be  used  by  that  serviceman  to satisfy Service

30    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
31    monthly returns.
32        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
33    concerning  the  time  within which a serviceman may file his

 9    has  an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $100,000 or more
10    shall make all payments required by rules of  the  Department
11    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a
12    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
13    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
14    Department by electronic funds transfer.   Beginning  October
15    1,  2000,  a  taxpayer  who  has  an  annual tax liability of
16    $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of
17    the  Department  by  electronic  funds  transfer.   The  term
18    "annual tax liability" shall be the  sum  of  the  taxpayer's
19    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
20    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
21    Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.  The
22    term  "average  monthly  tax  liability" means the sum of the
23    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
24    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by

30    required  to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
31    make those payments for a minimum of one  year  beginning  on
32    October 1.
33        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
34    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer

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

10    it  usable  by  a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
11    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
12    use, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For  the  purposes
13    of  this  Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete,

24        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
25    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
26    where  it  is  sold" includes all food sold through a vending
27    machine, except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that  are

29    collect  and  remit the tax shall be liable for the tax.  For
30    purposes of this Section, the prepaid tax is due on  invoiced
31    gallons  sold during a month by the 20th day of the following
32    month.

14    under  this Act, such person may not file each return that is
15    due  as  a  single  return  covering  all   such   registered
16    businesses,  but  shall  file  separate returns for each such
17    registered business.
18        In addition, with respect to motor vehicles,  watercraft,

22    Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by  the
23    Department,  a separate return for each such item of tangible
24    personal property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except  that
25    where,  in  the  same  transaction,  a  retailer of aircraft,
26    watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers  transfers  more  than
27    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
28    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor  vehicle  retailer  or  trailer

 9    required  to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
10    monthly or quarterly returns.  However, those retailers shall

23    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
24    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
25    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
26    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or

 1    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
 2    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
 3    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
 4    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
 5    if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this  Act  allows

13    place and date of the sale, a  sufficient  identification  of
14    the   property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as  the
15    Department may reasonably require.
16        Such transaction reporting  return  shall  be  filed  not
17    later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
18    is  being  sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time
19    sooner than that if he chooses to  do  so.   The  transaction
20    reporting  return  and  tax  remittance or proof of exemption
21    from  the  Illinois  use  tax  may  be  transmitted  to   the
22    Department  by  way  of the State agency with which, or State
23    officer with whom the  tangible  personal  property  must  be
24    titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
25    if  the Department and such agency or State officer determine
26    that  this  procedure  will  expedite   the   processing   of
27    applications for title or registration.
28        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
29    shall  remit  the  proper  amount of tax due (or shall submit
30    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
31    the case), to the Department or  its  agents,  whereupon  the
32    Department  shall  issue,  in the purchaser's name, a use tax
33    receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the  Department  is
34    satisfied  that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
 
                            -58-               LRB9112104SMdv
 1    purchaser may submit to  the  agency  with  which,  or  State
 2    officer  with  whom,  he  must title or register the tangible
 3    personal  property  that   is   involved   (if   titling   or
 4    registration  is  required)  in  support  of such purchaser's
 5    application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence  of
 6    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
 7        No  retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
 8    Act precludes a user, who has paid  the  proper  tax  to  the
 9    retailer,  from  obtaining  his certificate of title or other
10    evidence of title
