11        Sec. 2. Authorization for Bonds.  The State  of  Illinois
12    is  authorized  to issue, sell and provide for the retirement
13    of General Obligation Bonds of the State of Illinois for  the

25    to $300,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount may be
26    issued and sold in accordance with the Retirement Savings Act
27    in the form of General Obligation Retirement Savings Bonds.
28        The  issuance  and  sale of Bonds pursuant to the General

 5    Illinois General Obligation Bonds.

10        Sec.   9.  Except   as  to  motor  vehicles,  watercraft,
11    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
12    with  an  agency  of  this  State,  each retailer required or

 3    return  is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
 4    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
 5    are required to be registered with an agency of this  State),
 6    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
 7    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
 8    received during such tax return period.
 9        Except  as  provided  in  this  Section, on or before the
10    twentieth day of each calendar  month,  such  retailer  shall
11    file  a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such return

28        him  during  the  preceding  calendar month from sales of
29        tangible personal property by him during  such  preceding
30        calendar  month,  including receipts from charge and time
31        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
32             4.  The amount of credit provided in Section  2d  of
33        this Act;
34             5.  The amount of tax due;
 
                            -10-              LRB9114809SMcdA

24    for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year.  The   term
25    "average   monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the
26    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
27    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by
28    the 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
 
                            -11-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 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        Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
13    tax  liability  to  the  Department  under  this   Act,   the
14    Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Act,  the Service Occupation Tax
15    Act, the Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more  during  the
16    preceding  4  complete  calendar  quarters,  he  shall file a
17    return with the Department each month by the 20th day of  the
18    month   next  following  the  month  during  which  such  tax
19    liability  is  incurred  and  shall  make  payments  to   the
20    Department  on  or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of
21    the month during which such liability  is  incurred.  On  and
22    after  October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax
23    liability to the Department under this  Act,  the  Retailers'
24    Occupation  Tax  Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
25    Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the  preceding
26    4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
27    Department  each  month  by  the  20th  day of the month next
28    following the  month  during  which  such  tax  liability  is
29    incurred  and  shall  make  payment  to  the Department on or
30    before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the  month  during
31    which  such  liability is incurred. If the month during which
32    such tax liability is incurred  began  prior  to  January  1,
33    1985,  each payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the
34    taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an amount set by
 
                            -12-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    the Department not to  exceed  1/4  of  the  average  monthly
 2    liability of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding
 3    4  complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
 4    liability and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter
 5    period).  If the month during which  such  tax  liability  is
 6    incurred  begins  on  or  after January 1, 1985, and prior to
 7    January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to
 8    22.5%  of  the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or
 9    27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
10    of the preceding year.  If the month during  which  such  tax
11    liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and
12    prior  to January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount
13    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
14    month  or  26.25%  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, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or  begins  on
18    or  after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
19    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
20    month  or  25%  of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for  the same
21    calendar month of the preceding year.  If  the  month  during
22    which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred  begins on or after
23    January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996,  each  payment
24    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
25    liability  for  the  month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
26    for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100%  of
27    the  taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the  quarter monthly
28    reporting  period.   The  amount  of  such  quarter   monthly
29    payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
30    the  taxpayer's  return  for  that  month.  Before October 1,
31    2000, once applicable,  the  requirement  of  the  making  of
32    quarter  monthly  payments  to  the Department shall continue
33    until  such  taxpayer's  average  monthly  liability  to  the
34    Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar  quarters
 
                            -13-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    (excluding  the  month  of highest liability and the month of
 2    lowest  liability)  is  less  than  $9,000,  or  until   such
 3    taxpayer's  average  monthly  liability  to the Department as
 4    computed  for  each  calendar  quarter  of  the  4  preceding
 5    complete  calendar  quarter  period  is  less  than  $10,000.
 6    However, if  a  taxpayer  can  show  the  Department  that  a
 7    substantial  change  in  the taxpayer's business has occurred
 8    which causes the taxpayer  to  anticipate  that  his  average
 9    monthly  tax  liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
10    will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
11    taxpayer may petition  the  Department  for  change  in  such
12    taxpayer's  reporting  status.  On and after October 1, 2000,
13    once applicable, the requirement of  the  making  of  quarter
14    monthly  payments to the Department shall continue until such
15    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
16    the preceding 4 complete  calendar  quarters  (excluding  the
17    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
18    is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
19    liability  to  the  Department  as computed for each calendar
20    quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar  quarter  period
21    is  less  than  $20,000.  However, if a taxpayer can show the
22    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
23    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
24    that his average monthly tax  liability  for  the  reasonably
25    foreseeable  future  will  fall  below  the $20,000 threshold
26    stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the  Department
27    for  a  change  in  such  taxpayer's  reporting  status.  The
28    Department shall  change  such  taxpayer's  reporting  status
29    unless  it  finds  that such change is seasonal in nature and
30    not likely to be long  term.  If  any  such  quarter  monthly
31    payment  is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
32    this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
33    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
34    and the amount of such quarter monthly payment  actually  and
 
                            -14-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    timely  paid,  except  insofar as the taxpayer has previously
 2    made payments for that month to the Department in  excess  of
 3    the  minimum  payments  previously  due  as  provided in this
 4    Section.  The Department  shall  make  reasonable  rules  and
 5    regulations  to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
 6    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
 7    than a calendar monthly basis.
 8        If any such payment provided for in this Section  exceeds
 9    the  taxpayer's  liabilities  under  this Act, the Retailers'
10    Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax  Act  and  the
11    Service  Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
12    the  Department  shall  issue  to  the  taxpayer   a   credit
13    memorandum  no  later than 30 days after the date of payment,
14    which memorandum may be submitted  by  the  taxpayer  to  the
15    Department  in  payment  of  tax liability subsequently to be
16    remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned  by
17    the  taxpayer  to  a  similar  taxpayer  under  this Act, the
18    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
19    or the Service Use Tax Act,  in  accordance  with  reasonable
20    rules  and  regulations  to  be prescribed by the Department,
21    except that if such excess payment is shown  on  an  original
22    monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
23    memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
24    If  no  such  request  is  made, the taxpayer may credit such
25    excess payment  against  tax  liability  subsequently  to  be
26    remitted  by  the  taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
27    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
28    Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
29    rules and regulations prescribed by the Department.   If  the
30    Department  subsequently  determines  that all or any part of
31    the credit taken was not actually due to  the  taxpayer,  the
32    taxpayer's  2.1%  or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
33    by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the  credit  taken
34    and  that  actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
 
                            -15-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    penalties and interest on such difference.
 2        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
 3    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
 4    the  Department  does  not  exceed  $200,  the Department may
 5    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
 6    with  the  return for January, February, and March of a given
 7    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
 8    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
 9    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
10    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
11    the return for October, November and December of a given year
12    being due by January 20 of the following year.
13        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
14    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
15    liability   to  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50,  the
16    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
17    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
18    20 of the following year.
19        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
20    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
21    monthly returns.
22        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
23    concerning the time within which  a  retailer  may  file  his
24    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
25    kind  of  business  which  makes  him  responsible for filing
26    returns under this Act, such  retailer  shall  file  a  final
27    return  under  this Act with the Department not more than one
28    month after discontinuing such business.
29        In addition, with respect to motor vehicles,  watercraft,
30    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
31    with an agency of this State,  every  retailer  selling  this
32    kind  of  tangible  personal  property  shall  file, with the
33    Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by  the
34    Department,  a separate return for each such item of tangible
 
                            -16-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    personal property which the retailer sells, except  that  if,
 2    in   the  same  transaction,  (i)  a  retailer  of  aircraft,
 3    watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers  transfers  more  than
 4    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
 5    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
 6    the purpose  of  resale  or  (ii)  a  retailer  of  aircraft,
 7    watercraft,  motor  vehicles, or trailers transfers more than
 8    one aircraft, watercraft, motor  vehicle,  or  trailer  to  a
 9    purchaser  for  use as a qualifying rolling stock as provided
10    in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may report  the
11    transfer  of  all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
12    trailers involved in that transaction to  the  Department  on
13    the  same  uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
14    For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a  Class  2,
15    Class  3,  or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
16    the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal  watercraft,
17    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
18        The  transaction  reporting  return  in the case of motor
19    vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered  with
20    an  agency  of  this State, shall be the same document as the
21    Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the  Illinois
22    Vehicle  Code  and  must  show  the  name  and address of the
23    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
24    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
25    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
26    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
27    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
28    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
29    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
30    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
31    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
32    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
33    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
34    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
 
                            -17-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    place and date of the sale; a  sufficient  identification  of
 2    the  property  sold; such other information as is required in
 3    Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,  and  such  other
 4    information as the Department may reasonably require.
 5        The   transaction   reporting   return  in  the  case  of
 6    watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
 7    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
 8    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
 9    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
10    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
11    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
12    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
13    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
14    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
15    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
16    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
17    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
18    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
19    place and date of the sale, a  sufficient  identification  of
20    the   property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as  the
21    Department may reasonably require.
22        Such transaction reporting  return  shall  be  filed  not
23    later  than  20  days  after the date of delivery of the item
24    that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer  at  any
25    time   sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.   The
26    transaction reporting return and tax remittance or  proof  of
27    exemption  from  the  tax  that is imposed by this Act may be
28    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
29    which, or State officer  with  whom,  the  tangible  personal
30    property   must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling  or
31    registration is required) if the Department and  such  agency
32    or  State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
33    the processing of applications for title or registration.
34        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
 
                            -18-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    shall remit the proper amount of tax  due  (or  shall  submit
 2    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
 3    the  case),  to  the  Department or its agents, whereupon the
 4    Department shall  issue,  in  the  purchaser's  name,  a  tax
 5    receipt  (or  a certificate of exemption if the Department is
 6    satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which  such
 7    purchaser  may  submit  to  the  agency  with which, or State
 8    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
 9    personal   property   that   is   involved   (if  titling  or
10    registration is required)  in  support  of  such  purchaser's
11    application  for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
12    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
13        No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under  this
14    Act  precludes  a  user,  who  has paid the proper tax to the
15    retailer, from obtaining his certificate of  title  or  other
16    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
17    is  required)  upon  satisfying the Department that such user
18    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
19    Department shall adopt appropriate rules  to  carry  out  the
20    mandate of this paragraph.
21        If  the  user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
22    wants the transaction reporting return filed and the  payment
23    of  tax  or  proof of exemption made to the Department before
24    the retailer is willing to take these actions and  such  user
25    has  not  paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
26    to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon  the
27    Department   being   satisfied   of   the   truth   of   such
28    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
29    transaction  reporting  return  and the remittance for tax or
30    proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain  his
31    tax  receipt  or  exemption determination, in which event the
32    transaction reporting return and tax  remittance  (if  a  tax
33    payment  was required) shall be credited by the Department to
34    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
 
                            -19-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    without the 2.1% or  1.75%  discount  provided  for  in  this
 2    Section  being  allowed.  When the user pays the tax directly
 3    to the Department, he shall pay the tax in  the  same  amount
 4    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
 5    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
 6        Where  a  retailer  collects  the tax with respect to the
 7    selling price of tangible personal property  which  he  sells
 8    and  the  purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
 9    property and the retailer refunds the selling  price  thereof
10    to  the  purchaser,  such  retailer shall also refund, to the
11    purchaser, the tax so  collected  from  the  purchaser.  When
12    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
13    to  the  purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
14    tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from  any  other  use
15    tax  which  such  retailer may be required to pay or remit to
16    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
17    tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the  Department
18    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
19    remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the Department, he is
20    entitled to no deduction under this Act upon  refunding  such
21    tax to the purchaser.
22        Any  retailer  filing  a  return under this Section shall
23    also include (for the purpose  of  paying  tax  thereon)  the
24    total  tax  covered  by such return upon the selling price of
25    tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from  a
26    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
27    collected  from  the  retailer  filing  such return, and such
28    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
29    when filing such return.
30        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
31    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
32    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
33    file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under   the   Retailers'
34    Occupation  Tax  Act,  to  furnish all the return information
 
                            -20-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    required by both Acts on the one form.
 2        Where the retailer has more than one business  registered
 3    with  the  Department  under separate registration under this
 4    Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as  a
 5    single  return  covering  all such registered businesses, but
 6    shall  file  separate  returns  for  each   such   registered
 7    business.
 8        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 9    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund,  a
10    special  fund  in the State Treasury which is hereby created,
11    the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the  1%
12    tax  on  sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be
13    consumed off the  premises  where  it  is  sold  (other  than
14    alcoholic  beverages,  soft  drinks  and  food which has been
15    prepared for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription  and
16    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
17    insulin,  urine  testing materials, syringes and needles used

 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

30    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by
31    the Department, for the immediately preceding  calendar  year
32    divided by 12.
33        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
34    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make

13    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
14    requirements of this Section.
15        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
16    return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax  liability
17    to  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 serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
27    or quarterly return and if the serviceman's  average  monthly

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.

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

 1    required by both Acts on the one form.
 2        Where   the   serviceman   has  more  than  one  business
 3    registered with the Department  under  separate  registration
 4    hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
 5    due   as   a  single  return  covering  all  such  registered
 6    businesses, but shall file separate  returns  for  each  such
 7    registered business.

 9    shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
10    fund in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for  the

12    consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
13    is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
14    which  has  been  prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and

16    appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
17    needles used by diabetics.

25    government.

34    price of coal until the Bureau of the Budget certifies to the

18    monthly returns.
19        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
20    concerning  the  time  within which a serviceman may file his
21    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
22    a kind of business which makes  him  responsible  for  filing

 3    $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of
 4    the  Department  by  electronic  funds  transfer.   The  term
 5    "annual tax liability" shall be the  sum  of  the  taxpayer's
 6    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
 7    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the

 9    term  "average  monthly  tax  liability" means the sum of the
10    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
11    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by

22    with the permission of the Department.

24    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
25    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
26    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
27        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
28    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
29    requirements of this Section.
30        Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect  to  the
31    selling  price  of  tangible personal property which he sells
32    and the purchaser thereafter returns such  tangible  personal
33    property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
34    to  the  purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
 
                            -41-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    purchaser, the tax so collected  from  the  purchaser.   When
 2    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
 3    to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
 4    tax  so  refunded  by  him  to  the  purchaser from any other
 5    Service  Occupation  Tax,   Service   Use   Tax,   Retailers'
 6    Occupation  Tax  or  Use  Tax  which  such  serviceman may be
 7    required to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by  such
 8    return,  provided  that  the amount of the tax to be deducted
 9    shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
10    serviceman.  If the  serviceman  shall  not  previously  have
11    remitted  the  amount of such tax to the Department, he shall
12    be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
13    to the purchaser.
14        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
15    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
16    joint return which will enable servicemen, who  are  required
17    to  file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under the Retailers'
18    Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act or the  Service  Use  Tax
19    Act,  to  furnish  all the return information required by all
20    said Acts on the one form.
21        Where  the  serviceman  has  more   than   one   business
22    registered  with  the Department under separate registrations
23    hereunder, such serviceman shall file  separate  returns  for
24    each registered business.

15    agree  with  the gross receipts reported to the Department of
16    Revenue for the same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his
17    annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation  of  the  2
18    amounts  and  the reasons for the difference.  The taxpayer's
19    annual return to the Department shall also disclose the  cost
20    of goods sold by the taxpayer during the year covered by such
21    return,  opening  and  closing  inventories of such goods for
22    such year, cost of goods used from stock or taken from  stock
23    and  given  away  by  the taxpayer during such year, pay roll
24    information of the taxpayer's business during such  year  and
25    any  additional  reasonable  information which the Department
26    deems would be helpful in determining  the  accuracy  of  the
27    monthly,  quarterly  or annual returns filed by such taxpayer
28    as hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
29        If the annual information return required by this Section
30    is not filed when and as  required,  the  taxpayer  shall  be
31    liable as follows:
32             (i)  Until  January  1,  1994, the taxpayer shall be
33        liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of  the  tax  due
34        from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
 
                            -48-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1        covered  by  the annual return for each month or fraction
 2        of a month until such return is filed  as  required,  the
 3        penalty  to  be assessed and collected in the same manner
 4        as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
 5             (ii)  On and after January  1,  1994,  the  taxpayer
 6        shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
 7        of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
 8        The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
 9    ranking  manager  shall sign the annual return to certify the
10    accuracy of the information contained  therein.   Any  person
11    who  willfully  signs  the  annual return containing false or
12    inaccurate  information  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury   and
13    punished  accordingly.   The annual return form prescribed by
14    the Department  shall  include  a  warning  that  the  person
15    signing the return may be liable for perjury.
16        The  foregoing  portion  of  this  Section concerning the
17    filing of an annual information return shall not apply  to  a
18    serviceman  who  is not required to file an income tax return
19    with the United States Government.
20        As soon as possible after the first day  of  each  month,
21    upon   certification   of  the  Department  of  Revenue,  the
22    Comptroller shall order transferred and the  Treasurer  shall
23    transfer  from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
24    Fund an amount equal to  1.7%  of  80%  of  the  net  revenue
25    realized  under  this  Act  for  the  second preceding month.
26    Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer  required
27    and shall not be made.
28        Net  revenue  realized  for  a month shall be the revenue
29    collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the  amount
30    paid  out  during  that  month  as  refunds  to taxpayers for
31    overpayment of liability.
32        For greater simplicity of  administration,  it  shall  be
33    permissible  for  manufacturers,  importers  and  wholesalers
34    whose  products  are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois,
 
                            -49-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    and who wish to do  so,  to  assume  the  responsibility  for
 2    accounting  and  paying  to  the  Department all tax accruing
 3    under this Act with respect to such sales, if the  servicemen
 4    who  are  affected  do  not  make  written  objection  to the
 5    Department to this arrangement.

10    by changing Section 3 as follows:

11        (35 ILCS 120/3) (from Ch. 120, par. 442)
12        Sec. 3.  Except as provided in this Section, on or before
13    the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  every person
14    engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property
15    at retail in this State during the preceding  calendar  month
16    shall file a return with the Department, stating:
17             1.  The name of the seller;
18             2.  His  residence  address  and  the address of his
19        principal place  of  business  and  the  address  of  the

21        address) from which he engages in the business of selling
22        tangible personal property at retail in this State;
23             3.  Total amount of receipts received by him  during
24        the  preceding calendar month or quarter, as the case may
25        be, from sales of tangible personal  property,  and  from
26        services furnished, by him during such preceding calendar
27        month or quarter;
28             4.  Total   amount   received   by  him  during  the
29        preceding calendar month or quarter on  charge  and  time
30        sales  of  tangible  personal property, and from services
31        furnished, by him prior to the month or quarter for which
32        the return is filed;
 
                            -50-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1             5.  Deductions allowed by law;
 2             6.  Gross receipts which were received by him during
 3        the preceding calendar month  or  quarter  and  upon  the

 9             10.  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        Each return shall be  accompanied  by  the  statement  of
16    prepaid tax issued pursuant to Section 2e for which credit is
17    claimed.
18        A  retailer  may  accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
19    certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax  as
20    provided  in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the purchaser
21    provides the appropriate documentation as required by Section
22    3-85 of the Use Tax Act.  A  Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit
23    certification,  accepted by a retailer as provided in Section
24    3-85 of the Use Tax Act, may be  used  by  that  retailer  to
25    satisfy  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  liability in the amount
26    claimed in the certification, not  to  exceed  6.25%  of  the
27    receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase.
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
33    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
34    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
 
                            -51-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    stating:
 2             1.  The name of the seller;
 3             2.  The  address  of the principal place of business
 4        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
 5        personal property at retail in this State;
 6             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
 7        him during the preceding calendar  month  from  sales  of
 8        tangible  personal  property by him during such preceding
 9        calendar month, including receipts from charge  and  time
10        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
11             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
12        this Act;
13             5.  The amount of tax due; and
14             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
15        Department may require.
16        If  a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable
17    or creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less
18    than 50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50  cents
19    or more.
20        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
21    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
22    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
23    funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1994,  a  taxpayer  who
24    has  an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $100,000 or more
25    shall make all payments required by rules of  the  Department
26    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a
27    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
28    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
29    Department by electronic funds transfer.   Beginning  October
30    1,  2000,  a  taxpayer  who  has  an  annual tax liability of
31    $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of
32    the  Department  by  electronic  funds  transfer.   The  term
33    "annual tax liability" shall be the  sum  of  the  taxpayer's
34    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
 
                            -52-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
 2    Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.  The
 3    term  "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of the
 4    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
 5    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by
 6    the Department, for the immediately preceding  calendar  year
 7    divided by 12.
 8        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
 9    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
10    payments  by  electronic  funds  transfer.    All   taxpayers
11    required  to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
12    make those payments for a minimum of one  year  beginning  on
13    October 1.
14        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
15    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
16    with the permission of the Department.
17        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
18    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
19    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
20    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
21        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
22    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
23    requirements of this Section.
24        Any amount which is required to be shown or  reported  on
25    any  return  or  other document under this Act shall, if such
26    amount is not a whole-dollar  amount,  be  increased  to  the
27    nearest  whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional
28    part of a dollar is 50 cents or more, and  decreased  to  the
29    nearest  whole-dollar  amount  where the fractional part of a
30    dollar is less than 50 cents.
31        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
32    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
33    the  Department  does  not  exceed  $200,  the Department may
34    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
 
                            -53-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    with  the  return  for January, February and March of a given
 2    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
 3    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
 4    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
 5    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
 6    the return for October, November and December of a given year
 7    being due by January 20 of the following year.
 8        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
 9    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
10    liability  with  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50, the
11    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
12    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
13    20 of the following year.
14        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
15    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
16    monthly returns.
17        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
18    concerning the time within which  a  retailer  may  file  his
19    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
20    kind  of  business  which  makes  him  responsible for filing
21    returns under this Act, such  retailer  shall  file  a  final
22    return  under  this Act with the Department not more than one
23    month after discontinuing such business.
24        Where  the  same  person  has  more  than  one   business
25    registered  with  the Department under separate registrations
26    under this Act, such person may not file each return that  is
27    due   as   a  single  return  covering  all  such  registered
28    businesses, but shall file separate  returns  for  each  such
29    registered business.
30        In  addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
31    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
32    with  an  agency  of  this State, every retailer selling this
33    kind of tangible  personal  property  shall  file,  with  the
34    Department,  upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
 
                            -54-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    Department, a separate return for each such item of  tangible
 2    personal  property  which the retailer sells, except that if,
 3    in  the  same  transaction,  (i)  a  retailer  of   aircraft,
 4    watercraft,  motor  vehicles  or trailers transfers more than
 5    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
 6    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor  vehicle  retailer  or  trailer
 7    retailer for the purpose of resale  or  (ii)  a  retailer  of
 8    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
 9    more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
10    to a purchaser for use  as  a  qualifying  rolling  stock  as
11    provided  in  Section  2-5  of this Act, then that seller may
12    report  the  transfer  of  all  aircraft,  watercraft,  motor
13    vehicles or trailers involved  in  that  transaction  to  the
14    Department  on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
15    return form.  For  purposes  of  this  Section,  "watercraft"
16    means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in
17    Section  3-2  of  the  Boat  Registration  and  Safety Act, a
18    personal watercraft, or any boat  equipped  with  an  inboard
19    motor.
20        Any  retailer  who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
21    aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
22    an agency of this State, so that  all  retailers'  occupation
23    tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
24    such  transaction  reporting returns and who is not otherwise
25    required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not  file
26    monthly or quarterly returns.  However, those retailers shall
27    be required to file returns on an annual basis.
28        The  transaction  reporting  return, in the case of motor
29    vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered  with
30    an  agency  of  this State, shall be the same document as the
31    Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The  Illinois
32    Vehicle  Code  and  must  show  the  name  and address of the
33    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
34    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
 
                            -55-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
 2    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
 3    if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this  Act  allows
 4    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
 5    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
 6    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
 7    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
 8    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
 9    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
10    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
11    place and date of the sale; a  sufficient  identification  of
12    the  property  sold; such other information as is required in
13    Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code,  and  such  other
14    information as the Department may reasonably require.
15        The   transaction   reporting   return  in  the  case  of
16    watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of  the
17    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
18    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
19    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
20    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
21    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
22    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
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
27    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
28    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
29    place  and  date  of the sale, a sufficient identification of
30    the  property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as   the
31    Department may reasonably require.
32        Such  transaction  reporting  return  shall  be filed not
33    later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
34    is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at  any  time
 
                            -56-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    sooner  than  that  if  he chooses to do so.  The transaction
 2    reporting return and tax remittance  or  proof  of  exemption
 3    from   the  Illinois  use  tax  may  be  transmitted  to  the
 4    Department by way of the State agency with  which,  or  State
 5    officer  with  whom  the  tangible  personal property must be
 6    titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
 7    if the Department and such agency or State officer  determine
 8    that   this   procedure   will  expedite  the  processing  of
 9    applications for title or registration.
10        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
11    shall remit the proper amount of tax  due  (or  shall  submit
12    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
13    the  case),  to  the  Department or its agents, whereupon the
14    Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name,  a  use  tax
15    receipt  (or  a certificate of exemption if the Department is
16    satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which  such
17    purchaser  may  submit  to  the  agency  with which, or State
18    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
19    personal   property   that   is   involved   (if  titling  or
20    registration is required)  in  support  of  such  purchaser's
21    application  for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
22    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
23        No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under  this
24    Act  precludes  a  user,  who  has paid the proper tax to the
25    retailer, from obtaining his certificate of  title  or  other
26    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
27    is  required)  upon  satisfying the Department that such user
28    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
29    Department shall adopt appropriate rules  to  carry  out  the
30    mandate of this paragraph.
31        If  the  user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
32    wants the transaction reporting return filed and the  payment
33    of  the  tax  or  proof  of  exemption made to the Department
34    before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
 
                            -57-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    user has not paid the tax to  the  retailer,  such  user  may
 2    certify  to  the  fact  of such delay by the retailer and may
 3    (upon the Department being satisfied of  the  truth  of  such
 4    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
 5    transaction  reporting  return  and the remittance for tax or
 6    proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain  his
 7    tax  receipt  or  exemption determination, in which event the
 8    transaction reporting return and tax  remittance  (if  a  tax
 9    payment  was required) shall be credited by the Department to
10    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
11    without the 2.1% or  1.75%  discount  provided  for  in  this
12    Section  being  allowed.  When the user pays the tax directly
13    to the Department, he shall pay the tax in  the  same  amount
14    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
15    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
16        Refunds  made  by  the seller during the preceding return
17    period  to  purchasers,  on  account  of  tangible   personal
18    property  returned  to  the  seller,  shall  be  allowed as a
19    deduction under subdivision 5 of  his  monthly  or  quarterly
20    return,   as  the  case  may  be,  in  case  the  seller  had
21    theretofore included the  receipts  from  the  sale  of  such
22    tangible  personal  property in a return filed by him and had
23    paid the tax  imposed  by  this  Act  with  respect  to  such
24    receipts.
25        Where  the  seller  is a corporation, the return filed on
26    behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the  president,
27    vice-president,  secretary  or  treasurer  or by the properly
28    accredited agent of such corporation.
29        Where the seller is  a  limited  liability  company,  the
30    return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
31    be  signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
32    of the limited liability company.
33        Except as provided in this Section, the  retailer  filing
34    the  return  under  this Section shall, at the time of filing
 
                            -58-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax  imposed
 2    by  this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990
 3    and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or  $5  per  calendar
 4    year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
 5    retailer  for  the  expenses  incurred  in  keeping  records,
 6    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
 7    data  to  the  Department  on  request.   Any prepayment made
 8    pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included  in  the
 9    amount  on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed.  In
10    the case of retailers  who  report  and  pay  the  tax  on  a
11    transaction   by  transaction  basis,  as  provided  in  this
12    Section, such discount shall be  taken  with  each  such  tax
13    remittance  instead  of when such retailer files his periodic
14    return.
15        Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
16    tax liability to the Department under this Act, the  Use  Tax
17    Act,  the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
18    Act, excluding any liability for  prepaid  sales  tax  to  be
19    remitted  in  accordance  with  Section  2d  of this Act, was
20    $10,000 or more during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
21    quarters,  he  shall  file  a return with the Department each
22    month by the 20th day of the month next following  the  month
23    during  which  such  tax liability is incurred and shall make
24    payments to the Department on or before the 7th,  15th,  22nd
25    and  last  day  of  the  month during which such liability is
26    incurred. On and after October 1,  2000,  if  the  taxpayer's
27    average  monthly  tax  liability to the Department under this
28    Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
29    Service Use Tax Act,  excluding  any  liability  for  prepaid
30    sales  tax  to  be  remitted in accordance with Section 2d of
31    this Act, was $20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
32    calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
33    each month by the 20th day of the month  next  following  the
34    month  during  which such tax liability is incurred and shall
 
                            -59-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    make payment to the Department on or before  the  7th,  15th,
 2    22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
 3    incurred.    If  the month during which such tax liability is
 4    incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each  payment  shall
 5    be  in  an  amount  equal  to  1/4  of  the taxpayer's actual
 6    liability for the month or an amount set  by  the  Department
 7    not  to  exceed  1/4  of the average monthly liability of the
 8    taxpayer to the  Department  for  the  preceding  4  complete
 9    calendar  quarters  (excluding the month of highest liability
10    and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter  period).
11    If  the  month  during  which  such tax liability is incurred
12    begins on or after January 1, 1985 and prior  to  January  1,
13    1987,  each  payment  shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
14    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
15    taxpayer's liability for  the  same  calendar  month  of  the
16    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
17    is  incurred  begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
18    January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to
19    22.5%  of  the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or
20    26.25% of the taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar
21    month  of the preceding year.  If the month during which such
22    tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
23    and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or  after  January
24    1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
25    the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or 25% of the
26    taxpayer's liability for  the  same  calendar  month  of  the
27    preceding  year. If the month during which such tax liability
28    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior  to
29    January  1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
30    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
31    of the taxpayer's liability for the same  calendar  month  of
32    the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
33    for the quarter monthly reporting period.  The amount of such
34    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
 
                            -60-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    tax liability  of  the  taxpayer's  return  for  that  month.
 2    Before  October  1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
 3    the making of quarter monthly payments to the  Department  by
 4    taxpayers  having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
 5    or more as determined in  the  manner  provided  above  shall
 6    continue  until  such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
 7    the Department  during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
 8    quarters  (excluding  the  month of highest liability and the
 9    month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
10    taxpayer's average monthly liability  to  the  Department  as
11    computed  for  each  calendar  quarter  of  the  4  preceding
12    complete  calendar  quarter  period  is  less  than  $10,000.
13    However,  if  a  taxpayer  can  show  the  Department  that a
14    substantial change in the taxpayer's  business  has  occurred
15    which  causes  the  taxpayer  to  anticipate that his average
16    monthly tax liability for the reasonably  foreseeable  future
17    will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
18    taxpayer  may  petition  the  Department for a change in such
19    taxpayer's reporting status.  On and after October  1,  2000,
20    once  applicable,  the  requirement  of the making of quarter
21    monthly payments to the Department  by  taxpayers  having  an
22    average   monthly   tax  liability  of  $20,000  or  more  as
23    determined in the manner provided above shall continue  until
24    such  taxpayer's  average monthly liability to the Department
25    during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters  (excluding
26    the  month  of  highest  liability  and  the  month of lowest
27    liability) is less than  $19,000  or  until  such  taxpayer's
28    average  monthly  liability to the Department as computed for
29    each calendar quarter of the 4  preceding  complete  calendar
30    quarter  period is less than $20,000.  However, if a taxpayer
31    can show the Department that  a  substantial  change  in  the
32    taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to
33    anticipate  that  his  average  monthly tax liability for the
34    reasonably foreseeable future will  fall  below  the  $20,000
 
                            -61-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    threshold  stated  above, then such taxpayer may petition the
 2    Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting  status.
 3    The  Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
 4    unless it finds that such change is seasonal  in  nature  and
 5    not  likely  to  be  long  term.  If any such quarter monthly
 6    payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required  by
 7    this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
 8    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
 9    as  a  payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
10    actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer  has
11    previously  made payments for that month to the Department in
12    excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided  in
13    this  Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
14    regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount  and
15    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
16    than a calendar monthly basis.
17        Without  regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
18    quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
19    is required by Section 2d of this Act to  collect  and  remit
20    prepaid  taxes  and has collected prepaid taxes which average
21    in excess  of  $25,000  per  month  during  the  preceding  2
22    complete  calendar  quarters,  shall  file  a return with the
23    Department as required by Section 2f and shall make  payments
24    to  the  Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
25    day of the month during which such liability is incurred.  If
26    the month during which such tax liability is  incurred  began
27    prior  to  the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
28    each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
29    taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d.  If  the  month
30    during  which  such  tax  liability  is incurred begins on or
31    after January 1, 1986, each payment shall  be  in  an  amount
32    equal  to  22.5%  of  the taxpayer's actual liability for the
33    month or 27.5% of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same
34    calendar  month of the preceding calendar year.  If the month
 
                            -62-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    during which such tax liability  is  incurred  begins  on  or
 2    after  January  1,  1987,  each payment shall be in an amount
 3    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
 4    month  or  26.25%  of  the  taxpayer's liability for the same
 5    calendar month of the preceding year.   The  amount  of  such
 6    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
 7    tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that  month  filed
 8    under  this  Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.  Once
 9    applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter  monthly
10    payments  to  the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
11    continue until such taxpayer's average  monthly  prepaid  tax
12    collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
13    is  $25,000  or less.  If any such quarter monthly payment is
14    not paid at the time or in the amount required, the  taxpayer
15    shall   be   liable   for  penalties  and  interest  on  such
16    difference, except insofar as  the  taxpayer  has  previously
17    made  payments  for  that  month  in  excess  of  the minimum
18    payments previously due.
19        If any payment provided for in this Section  exceeds  the
20    taxpayer's  liabilities  under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
21    Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use  Tax  Act,  as
22    shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
23    requested  by  the  taxpayer,  issue to the taxpayer a credit
24    memorandum no later than 30 days after the date  of  payment.
25    The  credit  evidenced  by  such  credit  memorandum  may  be
26    assigned  by  the  taxpayer  to a similar taxpayer under this
27    Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act  or  the
28    Service  Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
29    regulations to be prescribed by the Department.  If  no  such
30    request  is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
31    against tax liability subsequently  to  be  remitted  to  the
32    Department  under  this  Act,  the  Use  Tax Act, the Service
33    Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in  accordance
34    with  reasonable  rules  and  regulations  prescribed  by the
 
                            -63-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    Department.  If the Department subsequently  determined  that
 2    all  or  any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
 3    the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
 4    shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the  difference  between
 5    the  credit  taken  and  that actually due, and that taxpayer
 6    shall  be  liable  for  penalties  and   interest   on   such
 7    difference.
 8        If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
 9    Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
10    to  the  Department  under  this  Act for the month which the
11    taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall  issue  the
12    taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
13        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
14    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special  fund
15    in  the  State  treasury  which  is  hereby  created, the net
16    revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%  tax  on
17    sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be consumed
18    off the premises where  it  is  sold  (other  than  alcoholic
19    beverages,  soft  drinks and food which has been prepared for
20    immediate consumption) and prescription  and  nonprescription
21    medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and  insulin,  urine
22    testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
23        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
24    shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District  Fund,  a
25    special  fund  in the State treasury which is hereby created,
26    4% of the net revenue realized for the preceding  month  from
27    the 6.25% general rate.
28        Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
29    pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the
30    net  revenue  realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
31    rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
32        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
33    shall  pay  into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
34    revenue realized for  the  preceding  month  from  the  6.25%
 
                            -64-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    general  rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible personal
 2    property.
 3        Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
 4    pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue
 5    realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate  on  the
 6    selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
 7        Beginning  February  1,  2001,  each month the Department
 8    shall pay into the General  Obligation  Bond  Retirement  and
 9    Interest  Fund  80%  of  the  net  revenue  realized  for the
10    preceding month from the 6.25% general rate  on  the  selling
11    price of coal until the Bureau of the Budget certifies to the
12    Department  that the amount that will be necessary to finance
13    the principal of, interest on, and premium, if  any,  on  the
14    $500,000,000   in   additional   general   obligation   bonds
15    authorized to be issued under this amendatory Act of the 91st
16    General Assembly for coal development has been paid into that
17    Fund.
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%,

25    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
26    to this Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9  of  the
27    Service  Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation
28    Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called  the  "Tax  Acts"

30    moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2)
31    the amount transferred to the Build Illinois  Fund  from  the

21    Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant  to  this  sentence
22    shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
23    of  the first sentence of this paragraph and shall reduce the
24    amount otherwise payable for such  fiscal  year  pursuant  to
25    that  clause  (b).   The  moneys  received  by the Department
26    pursuant to this Act and required to be  deposited  into  the

 5    year thereafter, one-eighth of the amount  requested  in  the
 6    certificate  of  the  Chairman  of  the Metropolitan Pier and
 7    Exposition Authority for that fiscal year,  less  the  amount

10    (g)  of  Section  13  of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition
11    Authority Act, plus cumulative deficiencies in  the  deposits
12    required  under  this  Section for previous months and years,
13    shall be deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project
14    Fund, until the full amount requested for  the  fiscal  year,
15    but  not  in  excess  of the amount specified above as "Total
16    Deposit", has been deposited.
17        Subject to payment of amounts  into  the  Build  Illinois
18    Fund  and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant
19    to the preceding  paragraphs  or  in  any  amendment  thereto
20    hereafter  enacted,  each month the Department shall pay into

22    revenue  realized for the preceding month from the 5% general
23    rate or 0.4% of 80% of  the  net  revenue  realized  for  the
24    preceding  month from the 6.25% general rate, as the case may
25    be, on the selling price of tangible personal property  which
26    amount  shall,  subject  to  appropriation, be distributed as
27    provided in Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing  Act.   No
28    payments or distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be

31    from  such  tax  are  unavailable for distribution because of
32    litigation.
33        Subject to payment of amounts  into  the  Build  Illinois
34    Fund,  the McCormick Place Expansion Project to the preceding
 
                            -69-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    paragraphs or in any amendments  thereto  hereafter  enacted,
 2    beginning  July  1, 1993, the Department shall each month pay
 3    into the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of the  net
 4    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
 5    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
 6    property.
 7        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
 8    pursuant  to  this  Act,  75%  thereof shall be paid into the
 9    State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
10    and used only for the transfer to the Common School  Fund  as
11    part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
12    accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
13        The  Department  may,  upon  separate written notice to a
14    taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file  with  the
15    Department  on a form prescribed by the Department within not
16    less than 60 days after  receipt  of  the  notice  an  annual
17    information  return for the tax year specified in the notice.
18    Such  annual  return  to  the  Department  shall  include   a
19    statement  of  gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last
20    Federal income tax return.  If  the  total  receipts  of  the
21    business  as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
22    agree with the gross receipts reported to the  Department  of
23    Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach to his
24    annual  return  a  schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
25    amounts and the reasons for the difference.   The  retailer's
26    annual  return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
27    of goods sold by the retailer during the year covered by such
28    return, opening and closing inventories  of  such  goods  for
29    such year, costs of goods used from stock or taken from stock
30    and  given  away  by  the  retailer during such year, payroll
31    information of the retailer's business during such  year  and
32    any  additional  reasonable  information which the Department
33    deems would be helpful in determining  the  accuracy  of  the
34    monthly,  quarterly  or annual returns filed by such retailer
 
                            -70-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    as provided for in this Section.
 2        If the annual information return required by this Section
 3    is not filed when and as  required,  the  taxpayer  shall  be
 4    liable as follows:
 5             (i)  Until  January  1,  1994, the taxpayer shall be
 6        liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of  the  tax  due
 7        from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
 8        covered  by  the annual return for each month or fraction
 9        of a month until such return is filed  as  required,  the
10        penalty  to  be assessed and collected in the same manner
11        as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
12             (ii)  On and after January  1,  1994,  the  taxpayer
13        shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
14        of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
15        The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
16    ranking  manager  shall sign the annual return to certify the
17    accuracy of the information contained therein.    Any  person
18    who  willfully  signs  the  annual return containing false or
19    inaccurate  information  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury   and
20    punished  accordingly.   The annual return form prescribed by
21    the Department  shall  include  a  warning  that  the  person
22    signing the return may be liable for perjury.
23        The  provisions  of this Section concerning the filing of
24    an annual information return do not apply to a  retailer  who
25    is  not required to file an income tax return with the United
26    States Government.
27        As soon as possible after the first day  of  each  month,
28    upon   certification   of  the  Department  of  Revenue,  the
29    Comptroller shall order transferred and the  Treasurer  shall
30    transfer  from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
31    Fund an amount equal to  1.7%  of  80%  of  the  net  revenue
32    realized  under  this  Act  for  the  second preceding month.
33    Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer  required
34    and shall not be made.

 1        Net  revenue  realized  for  a month shall be the revenue
 2    collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the  amount
 3    paid  out  during  that  month  as  refunds  to taxpayers for
 4    overpayment of liability.
 5        For greater simplicity of administration,  manufacturers,
 6    importers  and  wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
 7    in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
 8    assume the responsibility for accounting and  paying  to  the
 9    Department  all  tax  accruing under this Act with respect to
10    such sales, if the retailers who are  affected  do  not  make
11    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
12        Any  person  who  promotes,  organizes,  provides  retail
13    selling  space  for concessionaires or other types of sellers
14    at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
15    local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar  exhibitions
16    or  events,  including  any  transient merchant as defined by
17    Section 2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is  required
18    to  file  a  report with the Department providing the name of
19    the merchant's business, the name of the  person  or  persons
20    engaged  in  merchant's  business,  the permanent address and
21    Illinois Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of  the
22    merchant,  the  dates  and  location  of  the event and other
23    reasonable information that the Department may require.   The
24    report must be filed not later than the 20th day of the month
25    next  following  the month during which the event with retail
26    sales was held.  Any  person  who  fails  to  file  a  report
27    required  by  this  Section commits a business offense and is
28    subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
29        Any person engaged in the business  of  selling  tangible
30    personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
31    of  seller  at  the  Illinois  State  Fair, county fairs, art
32    shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
33    transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
34    Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily  report
 
                            -72-              LRB9114809SMcdA
 1    of  the  amount of such sales to the Department and to make a
 2    daily payment of the full amount of tax due.  The  Department
 3    shall  impose  this requirement when it finds that there is a
 4    significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at  such  an
 5    exhibition  or  event.   Such  a  finding  shall  be based on
 6    evidence that a  substantial  number  of  concessionaires  or
 7    other  sellers  who  are  not  residents  of Illinois will be
 8    engaging  in  the  business  of  selling  tangible   personal
 9    property  at  retail  at  the  exhibition  or event, or other
10    evidence of a significant risk of  loss  of  revenue  to  the
11    State.  The Department shall notify concessionaires and other
12    sellers  affected  by the imposition of this requirement.  In
13    the  absence  of  notification   by   the   Department,   the
14    concessionaires and other sellers shall file their returns as
15    otherwise required in this Section.
