 1        AN ACT concerning taxation.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.  The State Finance Act is amended by changing
 5    Sections 6z-18 and 6z-20 as follows:

 6        (30 ILCS 105/6z-18) (from Ch. 127, par. 142z-18)
 7        Sec. 6z-18.  A portion of the money paid into  the  Local
 8    Government  Tax Fund from sales of food for human consumption
 9    which is to be consumed off the premises  where  it  is  sold
10    (other  than  alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which
11    has been prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription
12    and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances  and
13    insulin,  urine  testing materials, syringes and needles used
14    by diabetics, which  occurred  in  municipalities,  shall  be
15    distributed  to  each municipality based upon the sales which
16    occurred  in  that  municipality.   The  remainder  shall  be
17    distributed  to  each  county  based  upon  the  sales  which
18    occurred in the unincorporated area of that county.
19        A portion of the money paid into the Local Government Tax
20    Fund from the 6.25% general use tax rate on the selling price
21    of tangible personal  property  which  is  purchased  outside
22    Illinois  at  retail  from  a retailer and which is titled or
23    registered by any agency of this State's government shall  be
24    distributed  to municipalities as provided in this paragraph.
25    Each municipality shall receive the  amount  attributable  to
26    sales   for   which   Illinois   addresses   for  titling  or
27    registration  purposes   are   given   as   being   in   such
28    municipality.  The remainder of the money paid into the Local
29    Government  Tax  Fund from such sales shall be distributed to
30    counties.  Each county shall receive the amount  attributable
31    to   sales  for  which  Illinois  addresses  for  titling  or
 
                            -2-                LRB9114940SMcd
 1    registration purposes are  given  as  being  located  in  the
 2    unincorporated area of such county.
 3        A portion of the money paid into the Local Government Tax
 4    Fund from the 6.25% general rate (and, beginning July 1, 2000
 5    and  through  December 31, 2000, the 1.25% rate on motor fuel
 6    and gasohol and, beginning December 1, 2000 and  through  May
 7    31,  2001, the 1.25% rate on propane and home heating oil) on
 8    sales subject to taxation under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
 9    Act and the Service Occupation Tax  Act,  which  occurred  in
10    municipalities,  shall  be  distributed to each municipality,
11    based upon the sales which occurred in that municipality. The
12    remainder shall be distributed to each county, based upon the
13    sales which occurred  in  the  unincorporated  area  of  such
14    county.
15        For  the  purpose  of determining allocation to the local
16    government unit, a retail sale by a producer of coal or other
17    mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail  at  the  place
18    where  the  coal  or  other  mineral  mined  in  Illinois  is
19    extracted  from  the earth.  This paragraph does not apply to
20    coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by  the
21    seller  to  the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that
22    the sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as  a
23    sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
24        Whenever the Department determines that a refund of money
25    paid  into  the Local Government Tax Fund should be made to a
26    claimant  instead  of  issuing  a  credit   memorandum,   the
27    Department  shall  notify  the  State  Comptroller, who shall
28    cause the order to be drawn for the amount specified, and  to
29    the  person  named, in such notification from the Department.
30    Such refund shall be paid by the State Treasurer out  of  the
31    Local Government Tax Fund.
32        On  or  before  the  25th day of each calendar month, the
33    Department shall prepare and certify to the  Comptroller  the
34    disbursement  of stated sums of money to named municipalities
 
                            -3-                LRB9114940SMcd
 1    and counties, the municipalities and  counties  to  be  those
 2    entitled  to  distribution  of taxes or penalties paid to the
 3    Department during the second preceding  calendar  month.  The
 4    amount to be paid to each municipality or county shall be the
 5    amount  (not including credit memoranda) collected during the
 6    second preceding calendar month by the  Department  and  paid
 7    into  the  Local  Government  Tax  Fund,  plus  an amount the
 8    Department determines is  necessary  to  offset  any  amounts
 9    which  were  erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and
10    not including an amount equal to the amount of  refunds  made
11    during the second preceding calendar month by the Department,
12    and  not including any amount which the Department determines
13    is necessary to offset any amounts which  are  payable  to  a
14    different  taxing  body  but  were  erroneously  paid  to the
15    municipality or county.  Within 10 days after receipt, by the
16    Comptroller,  of  the  disbursement  certification   to   the
17    municipalities and counties,  provided for in this Section to
18    be   given   to   the  Comptroller  by  the  Department,  the
19    Comptroller shall cause  the  orders  to  be  drawn  for  the
20    respective   amounts   in   accordance  with  the  directions
21    contained in such certification.
22        When certifying the amount of monthly disbursement  to  a
23    municipality  or  county  under  this Section, the Department
24    shall increase or decrease that amount by an amount necessary
25    to offset any misallocation of  previous  disbursements.  The
26    offset  amount  shall  be  the  amount  erroneously disbursed
27    within the 6 months preceding the  time  a  misallocation  is
28    discovered.
29        The  provisions  directing  the  distributions  from  the
30    special  fund  in  the  State  Treasury  provided for in this
31    Section  shall  constitute  an  irrevocable  and   continuing
32    appropriation  of  all  amounts as provided herein. The State
33    Treasurer and State Comptroller are hereby authorized to make
34    distributions as provided in this Section.

 3    September 1, 1990, which describes or refers to receipts from
 4    a  county  or municipal retailers' occupation tax, use tax or
 5    service occupation tax which  now  cannot  be  imposed,  such

16    propane  and  home  heating oil) on sales subject to taxation
17    under  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax   Act   and   Service
18    Occupation  Tax Act and paid into the County and Mass Transit
19    District Fund, distribution to  the  Regional  Transportation
20    Authority  tax  fund, created pursuant to Section 4.03 of the
21    Regional Transportation Authority Act,  for  deposit  therein
22    shall  be  made  based  upon  the retail sales occurring in a
23    county having more than 3,000,000 inhabitants. The  remainder
24    shall be distributed to each county having 3,000,000 or fewer
25    inhabitants  based  upon  the  retail sales occurring in each
26    such county.
27        For the purpose of determining allocation  to  the  local
28    government unit, a retail sale by a producer of coal or other
29    mineral  mined  in  Illinois is a sale at retail at the place
30    where  the  coal  or  other  mineral  mined  in  Illinois  is
31    extracted from the earth.  This paragraph does not  apply  to
32    coal  or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
33    seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois  so  that

 4    on tangible personal  property  which  is  purchased  outside
 5    Illinois  at  retail  from  a retailer and which is titled or
 6    registered by any agency of this State's government and  paid
 7    into  the  County  and Mass Transit District Fund, the amount
 8    for which Illinois  addresses  for  titling  or  registration
 9    purposes  are  given as being in each county having more than
10    3,000,000 inhabitants shall be distributed into the  Regional
11    Transportation   Authority  tax  fund,  created  pursuant  to
12    Section 4.03 of the Regional  Transportation  Authority  Act.

19    Fund  prior  to  January 14, 1991, which has not been paid to
20    the Authority prior to that date, shall be transferred to the
21    Regional Transportation Authority tax fund.
22        Whenever the Department determines that a refund of money
23    paid into the County and Mass Transit District Fund should be
24    made to a claimant instead of issuing  a  credit  memorandum,
25    the  Department shall notify the State Comptroller, who shall
26    cause the order to be drawn for the amount specified, and  to
27    the  person  named, in such notification from the Department.
28    Such refund shall be paid by the State Treasurer out  of  the
29    County and Mass Transit District Fund.
30        On  or  before  the  25th day of each calendar month, the
31    Department shall prepare and certify to the  Comptroller  the

11    during the second preceding calendar month by the Department,
12    and  not including any amount which the Department determines
13    is necessary to offset any amounts which were  payable  to  a
14    different  taxing  body  but  were  erroneously  paid  to the
15    Regional Transportation Authority or county.  Within 10  days
16    after  receipt,  by  the  Comptroller,  of  the  disbursement
17    certification  to  the  Regional Transportation Authority and
18    counties, provided for in this Section to  be  given  to  the
19    Comptroller  by  the  Department, the Comptroller shall cause
20    the  orders  to  be  drawn  for  the  respective  amounts  in
21    accordance   with   the   directions   contained   in    such

 4        In construing any development, redevelopment, annexation,
 5    preannexation or other lawful agreement in  effect  prior  to
 6    September 1, 1990, which describes or refers to receipts from
 7    a  county  or municipal retailers' occupation tax, use tax or
 8    service occupation tax which  now  cannot  be  imposed,  such
 9    description  or  reference  shall  be  deemed  to include the

14        Section  10.  The Use Tax  Act  is  amended  by  changing
15    Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:

16        (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
17        Sec.  3-10.   Rate  of tax.  Unless otherwise provided in
18    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
19    6.25%  of  either the selling price or the fair market value,
20    if any, of the tangible  personal  property.   In  all  cases
21    where  property  functionally used or consumed is the same as
22    the property that was purchased at retail, then  the  tax  is
23    imposed  on  the selling price of the property.  In all cases
24    where property functionally used or consumed is a  by-product
25    or  waste  product  that  has  been refined, manufactured, or
26    produced from property purchased at retail, then the  tax  is
27    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
28    specific  property  so  used  in this State or on the selling
29    price of the property purchased at retail.  For  purposes  of
30    this  Section  "fair  market  value" means the price at which
31    property would change hands between a  willing  buyer  and  a
32    willing  seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
 
                            -8-                LRB9114940SMcd
 1    sell and both having reasonable  knowledge  of  the  relevant
 2    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
 3    sales   by   the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property  as  that
 4    functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such  sales
 5    by  the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases of
 6    property of like kind and character in Illinois.
 7        Beginning on July 1, 2000 and through December 31,  2000,
 8    with  respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of the
 9    Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in  Section  3-40
10    of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
11        With  respect  to  gasohol,  the  tax imposed by this Act
12    applies to 70% of the proceeds of  sales  made  on  or  after
13    January  1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003, and to 100% of the
14    proceeds of sales made thereafter.
15        Beginning on December 1, 2000 and through May  31,  2001,
16    with  respect  to  propane  and  home heating oil, the tax is
17    imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
18        With respect to food for human consumption that is to  be
19    consumed  off  the  premises  where  it  is  sold (other than
20    alcoholic beverages, soft drinks,  and  food  that  has  been
21    prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription and
22    nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,   medical   appliances,
23    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
24    it usable by a disabled person, and  insulin,  urine  testing
25    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
26    use,  the  tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For the purposes
27    of this Section, the term "soft drinks" means  any  complete,
28    finished,    ready-to-use,   non-alcoholic   drink,   whether
29    carbonated or not, including but not limited to  soda  water,
30    cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
31    other  preparations commonly known as soft drinks of whatever
32    kind or description that  are  contained  in  any  closed  or
33    sealed bottle, can, carton, or container, regardless of size.
34    "Soft  drinks"  does  not include coffee, tea, non-carbonated
 
                            -9-                LRB9114940SMcd
 1    water, infant formula, milk or milk products  as  defined  in
 2    the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
 3    containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
 4        Notwithstanding  any  other provisions of this Act, "food
 5    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
 6    where it is sold" includes all food sold  through  a  vending
 7    machine,  except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that are
 8    dispensed hot from  a  vending  machine,  regardless  of  the
 9    location of the vending machine.
10        If  the  property  that  is  purchased  at  retail from a
11    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside
12    Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
13    taxable under this Act, the "selling price" on which the  tax
14    is  computed  shall be reduced by an amount that represents a
15    reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
16    out-of-state use.

19        (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
20        Sec.   9.  Except   as  to  motor  vehicles,  watercraft,
21    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
22    with  an  agency  of  this  State,  each retailer required or
23    authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act  shall  pay
24    to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
25    provided)  at the time when he is required to file his return
26    for the period during which such tax was  collected,  less  a
27    discount  of  2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
28    after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever  is
29    greater,  which  is  allowed  to  reimburse  the retailer for
30    expenses incurred in collecting  the  tax,  keeping  records,
31    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
32    data  to the Department on request.  In the case of retailers
33    who report and pay the tax on a  transaction  by  transaction
 
                            -10-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    basis,  as  provided  in this Section, such discount shall be
 2    taken with each such tax  remittance  instead  of  when  such
 3    retailer  files  his  periodic  return.   A retailer need not
 4    remit that part of any tax collected by  him  to  the  extent
 5    that  he  is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
 6    by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,  with  respect  to  the
 7    sale of the same property.
 8        Where  such  tangible  personal  property is sold under a
 9    conditional sales contract, or under any other form  of  sale
10    wherein  the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
11    is extended beyond the close of  the  period  for  which  the
12    return  is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
13    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
14    are required to be registered with an agency of this  State),
15    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
16    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
17    received during such tax return period.
18        Except  as  provided  in  this  Section, on or before the
19    twentieth day of each calendar  month,  such  retailer  shall
20    file  a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such return
21    shall be filed on forms  prescribed  by  the  Department  and
22    shall   furnish   such  information  as  the  Department  may
23    reasonably require.
24        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
25    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar
26    quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of  the
27    calendar  month  following  the end of such calendar quarter.
28    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
29    each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on  or
30    before  the  twentieth  day  of the following calendar month,
31    stating:
32             1.  The name of the seller;
33             2.  The address of the principal place  of  business
34        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
 
                            -11-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1        personal property at retail in this State;
 2             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
 3        him  during  the  preceding  calendar month from sales of
 4        tangible personal property by him during  such  preceding
 5        calendar  month,  including receipts from charge and time
 6        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
 7             4.  The amount of credit provided in Section  2d  of
 8        this Act;
 9             5.  The amount of tax due;
10             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
11             6.  Such   other   reasonable   information  as  the
12        Department may require.
13        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
14    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
15    the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown  to
16    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
17        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
18    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
19    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
20    funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
21    an average monthly tax liability of $100,000  or  more  shall
22    make  all  payments  required  by  rules of the Department by
23    electronic funds  transfer.  Beginning  October  1,  1995,  a
24    taxpayer  who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
25    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
26    Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
27    2000,  a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000
28    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
29    Department  by  electronic  funds transfer.  The term "annual
30    tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
31    under  this  Act,  and  under  all  other  State  and   local
32    occupation  and  use tax laws administered by the Department,
33    for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year.  The   term
34    "average   monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the
 
                            -12-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
 2    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by
 3    the Department, for the immediately preceding  calendar  year
 4    divided by 12.
 5        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
 6    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
 7    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
 8    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
 9    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
10    1.
11        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
12    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
13    with the permission of the Department.
14        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
15    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
16    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
17    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
18        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
19    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
20    requirements of this Section.
21        Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
22    tax  liability  to  the  Department  under  this   Act,   the
23    Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Act,  the Service Occupation Tax
24    Act, the Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more  during  the
25    preceding  4  complete  calendar  quarters,  he  shall file a
26    return with the Department each month by the 20th day of  the
27    month   next  following  the  month  during  which  such  tax
28    liability  is  incurred  and  shall  make  payments  to   the
29    Department  on  or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of
30    the month during which such liability  is  incurred.  On  and
31    after  October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax
32    liability to the Department under this  Act,  the  Retailers'
33    Occupation  Tax  Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
34    Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the  preceding
 
                            -13-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
 2    Department  each  month  by  the  20th  day of the month next
 3    following the  month  during  which  such  tax  liability  is
 4    incurred  and  shall  make  payment  to  the Department on or
 5    before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the  month  during
 6    which  such  liability is incurred. If the month during which
 7    such tax liability is incurred  began  prior  to  January  1,
 8    1985,  each payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the
 9    taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an amount set by
10    the Department not to  exceed  1/4  of  the  average  monthly
11    liability of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding
12    4  complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
13    liability and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter
14    period).  If the month during which  such  tax  liability  is
15    incurred  begins  on  or  after January 1, 1985, and prior to
16    January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to
17    22.5%  of  the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or
18    27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
19    of the preceding year.  If the month during  which  such  tax
20    liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and
21    prior  to January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount
22    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
23    month  or  26.25%  of  the  taxpayer's liability for the same
24    calendar month of the preceding year.  If  the  month  during
25    which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred  begins on or after
26    January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or  begins  on
27    or  after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
28    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
29    month  or  25%  of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for  the same
30    calendar month of the preceding year.  If  the  month  during
31    which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred  begins on or after
32    January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996,  each  payment
33    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
34    liability  for  the  month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
 
                            -14-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100%  of
 2    the  taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the  quarter monthly
 3    reporting  period.   The  amount  of  such  quarter   monthly
 4    payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
 5    the  taxpayer's  return  for  that  month.  Before October 1,
 6    2000, once applicable,  the  requirement  of  the  making  of
 7    quarter  monthly  payments  to  the Department shall continue
 8    until  such  taxpayer's  average  monthly  liability  to  the
 9    Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar  quarters
10    (excluding  the  month  of highest liability and the month of
11    lowest  liability)  is  less  than  $9,000,  or  until   such
12    taxpayer's  average  monthly  liability  to the Department as
13    computed  for  each  calendar  quarter  of  the  4  preceding
14    complete  calendar  quarter  period  is  less  than  $10,000.
15    However, if  a  taxpayer  can  show  the  Department  that  a
16    substantial  change  in  the taxpayer's business has occurred
17    which causes the taxpayer  to  anticipate  that  his  average
18    monthly  tax  liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
19    will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
20    taxpayer may petition  the  Department  for  change  in  such
21    taxpayer's  reporting  status.  On and after October 1, 2000,
22    once applicable, the requirement of  the  making  of  quarter
23    monthly  payments to the Department shall continue until such
24    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
25    the preceding 4 complete  calendar  quarters  (excluding  the
26    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
27    is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
28    liability  to  the  Department  as computed for each calendar
29    quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar  quarter  period
30    is  less  than  $20,000.  However, if a taxpayer can show the
31    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
32    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
33    that his average monthly tax  liability  for  the  reasonably
34    foreseeable  future  will  fall  below  the $20,000 threshold
 
                            -15-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the  Department
 2    for  a  change  in  such  taxpayer's  reporting  status.  The
 3    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    and the amount of such quarter monthly payment  actually  and
10    timely  paid,  except  insofar as the taxpayer has previously
11    made payments for that month to the Department in  excess  of
12    the  minimum  payments  previously  due  as  provided in this
13    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        If any such payment provided for in this Section  exceeds
18    the  taxpayer's  liabilities  under  this Act, the Retailers'
19    Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax  Act  and  the
20    Service  Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
21    the  Department  shall  issue  to  the  taxpayer   a   credit
22    memorandum  no  later than 30 days after the date of payment,
23    which memorandum may be submitted  by  the  taxpayer  to  the
24    Department  in  payment  of  tax liability subsequently to be
25    remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned  by
26    the  taxpayer  to  a  similar  taxpayer  under  this Act, the
27    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
28    or the Service Use Tax Act,  in  accordance  with  reasonable
29    rules  and  regulations  to  be prescribed by the Department,
30    except that if such excess payment is shown  on  an  original
31    monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
32    memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
33    If  no  such  request  is  made, the taxpayer may credit such
34    excess payment  against  tax  liability  subsequently  to  be
 
                            -16-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    remitted  by  the  taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
 2    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
 3    Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
 4    rules and regulations prescribed by the Department.   If  the
 5    Department  subsequently  determines  that all or any part of
 6    the credit taken was not actually due to  the  taxpayer,  the
 7    taxpayer's  2.1%  or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
 8    by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the  credit  taken
 9    and  that  actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
10    penalties and interest on such difference.
11        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
12    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
13    the  Department  does  not  exceed  $200,  the Department may
14    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
15    with  the  return for January, February, and March of a given
16    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
17    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
18    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
19    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
20    the return for October, November and December of a given year
21    being due by January 20 of the following year.
22        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
23    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
24    liability   to  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50,  the
25    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
26    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
27    20 of the following year.
28        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
29    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
30    monthly returns.
31        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
32    concerning the time within which  a  retailer  may  file  his
33    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
34    kind  of  business  which  makes  him  responsible for filing
 
                            -17-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    returns under this Act, such  retailer  shall  file  a  final
 2    return  under  this Act with the Department not more than one
 3    month after discontinuing such business.
 4        In addition, with respect to motor vehicles,  watercraft,
 5    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
 6    with an agency of this State,  every  retailer  selling  this
 7    kind  of  tangible  personal  property  shall  file, with the
 8    Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by  the
 9    Department,  a separate return for each such item of tangible
10    personal property which the retailer sells, except  that  if,
11    in   the  same  transaction,  (i)  a  retailer  of  aircraft,
12    watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers  transfers  more  than
13    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
14    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
15    the purpose  of  resale  or  (ii)  a  retailer  of  aircraft,
16    watercraft,  motor  vehicles, or trailers transfers more than
17    one aircraft, watercraft, motor  vehicle,  or  trailer  to  a
18    purchaser  for  use as a qualifying rolling stock as provided
19    in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may report  the
20    transfer  of  all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
21    trailers involved in that transaction to  the  Department  on
22    the  same  uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
23    For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a  Class  2,
24    Class  3,  or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
25    the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal  watercraft,
26    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
27        The  transaction  reporting  return  in the case of motor
28    vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered  with
29    an  agency  of  this State, shall be the same document as the
30    Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the  Illinois
31    Vehicle  Code  and  must  show  the  name  and address of the
32    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
33    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
34    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
 
                            -18-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
 2    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
 3    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
 4    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
 5    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
 6    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
 7    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
 8    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
 9    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
10    place and date of the sale; a  sufficient  identification  of
11    the  property  sold; such other information as is required in
12    Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,  and  such  other
13    information as the Department may reasonably require.
14        The   transaction   reporting   return  in  the  case  of
15    watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
16    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
17    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
18    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
19    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
20    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
21    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
22    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
23    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
24    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
25    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
26    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
27    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
28    place and date of the sale, a  sufficient  identification  of
29    the   property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as  the
30    Department may reasonably require.
31        Such transaction reporting  return  shall  be  filed  not
32    later  than  20  days  after the date of delivery of the item
33    that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer  at  any
34    time   sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.   The
 
                            -19-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    transaction reporting return and tax remittance or  proof  of
 2    exemption  from  the  tax  that is imposed by this Act may be
 3    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
 4    which, or State officer  with  whom,  the  tangible  personal
 5    property   must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling  or
 6    registration is required) if the Department and  such  agency
 7    or  State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
 8    the processing of applications for title or registration.
 9        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
10    shall remit the proper amount of tax  due  (or  shall  submit
11    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
12    the  case),  to  the  Department or its agents, whereupon the
13    Department shall  issue,  in  the  purchaser's  name,  a  tax
14    receipt  (or  a certificate of exemption if the Department is
15    satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which  such
16    purchaser  may  submit  to  the  agency  with which, or State
17    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
18    personal   property   that   is   involved   (if  titling  or
19    registration is required)  in  support  of  such  purchaser's
20    application  for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
21    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
22        No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under  this
23    Act  precludes  a  user,  who  has paid the proper tax to the
24    retailer, from obtaining his certificate of  title  or  other
25    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
26    is  required)  upon  satisfying the Department that such user
27    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
28    Department shall adopt appropriate rules  to  carry  out  the
29    mandate of this paragraph.
30        If  the  user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
31    wants the transaction reporting return filed and the  payment
32    of  tax  or  proof of exemption made to the Department before
33    the retailer is willing to take these actions and  such  user
34    has  not  paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
 
                            -20-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon  the
 2    Department   being   satisfied   of   the   truth   of   such
 3    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
 4    transaction  reporting  return  and the remittance for tax or
 5    proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain  his
 6    tax  receipt  or  exemption determination, in which event the
 7    transaction reporting return and tax  remittance  (if  a  tax
 8    payment  was required) shall be credited by the Department to
 9    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
10    without the 2.1% or  1.75%  discount  provided  for  in  this
11    Section  being  allowed.  When the user pays the tax directly
12    to the Department, he shall pay the tax in  the  same  amount
13    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
14    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
15        Where  a  retailer  collects  the tax with respect to the
16    selling price of tangible personal property  which  he  sells
17    and  the  purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
18    property and the retailer refunds the selling  price  thereof
19    to  the  purchaser,  such  retailer shall also refund, to the
20    purchaser, the tax so  collected  from  the  purchaser.  When
21    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
22    to  the  purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
23    tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from  any  other  use
24    tax  which  such  retailer may be required to pay or remit to
25    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
26    tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the  Department
27    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
28    remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the Department, he is
29    entitled to no deduction under this Act upon  refunding  such
30    tax to the purchaser.
31        Any  retailer  filing  a  return under this Section shall
32    also include (for the purpose  of  paying  tax  thereon)  the
33    total  tax  covered  by such return upon the selling price of
34    tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from  a
 
                            -21-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
 2    collected  from  the  retailer  filing  such return, and such
 3    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
 4    when filing such return.
 5        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
 6    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
 7    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
 8    file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under   the   Retailers'
 9    Occupation  Tax  Act,  to  furnish all the return information
10    required by both Acts on the one form.
11        Where the retailer has more than one business  registered
12    with  the  Department  under separate registration under this
13    Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as  a
14    single  return  covering  all such registered businesses, but
15    shall  file  separate  returns  for  each   such   registered
16    business.
17        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
18    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund,  a
19    special  fund  in the State Treasury which is hereby created,
20    the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the  1%
21    tax  on  sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be
22    consumed off the  premises  where  it  is  sold  (other  than
23    alcoholic  beverages,  soft  drinks  and  food which has been
24    prepared for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription  and
25    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
26    insulin,  urine  testing materials, syringes and needles used
27    by diabetics.
28        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
29    shall  pay  into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
30    of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from  the
31    6.25%  general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
32    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
33    retailer and which is titled or registered by  an  agency  of
34    this State's government.

17    oil.
18        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
19    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of  the  net
20    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
21    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
22    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
23    retailer  and  which  is titled or registered by an agency of

 1    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
 2    6.25%  of  the  selling  price  of tangible personal property
 3    transferred as an incident to the sale of service,  but,  for
 4    the  purpose  of  computing  this  tax, in no event shall the
 5    selling price be less than the cost price of the property  to
 6    the serviceman.
 7        Beginning  on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000,
 8    with respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of  the
 9    Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40
10    of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
11        Beginning on December 1, 2000 and through May  31,  2001,
12    with  respect  to  propane  and  home heating oil, the tax is
13    imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
14        With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use  Tax  Act,
15    the  tax  imposed  by  this Act applies to 70% of the selling
16    price of property transferred as an incident to the  sale  of
17    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
18    and to 100% of the selling price thereafter.
19        At  the  election  of  any registered serviceman made for
20    each fiscal year, sales of service  in  which  the  aggregate
21    annual  cost  price of tangible personal property transferred
22    as an incident to the sales of service is less than  35%,  or
23    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
24    or  servicemen  engaged  in  graphic  arts production, of the
25    aggregate annual total  gross  receipts  from  all  sales  of
26    service,  the  tax  imposed by this Act shall be based on the
27    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
28    transferred as an incident to the sale of those services.
29        The  tax  shall  be  imposed  at  the  rate of 1% on food
30    prepared for immediate consumption and  transferred  incident
31    to  a  sale  of  service  subject  to this Act or the Service
32    Occupation Tax Act by an entity licensed under  the  Hospital
33    Licensing  Act,  the Nursing Home Care Act, or the Child Care
34    Act of 1969.  The tax shall also be imposed at the rate of 1%

17    not   include   coffee,  tea,  non-carbonated  water,  infant
18    formula, milk or milk products as  defined  in  the  Grade  A
19    Pasteurized  Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks containing
20    50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
21        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
22    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
23    where  it  is  sold" includes all food sold through a vending
24    machine, except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that  are
25    dispensed  hot  from  a  vending  machine,  regardless of the
26    location of the vending machine.
27        If the property that is acquired  from  a  serviceman  is
28    acquired  outside  Illinois  and used outside Illinois before
29    being brought to Illinois for use here and is  taxable  under
30    this  Act,  the  "selling price" on which the tax is computed
31    shall be reduced by an amount that  represents  a  reasonable
32    allowance   for   depreciation   for   the  period  of  prior
33    out-of-state use.

 3        (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
 4        Sec.  9.  Each  serviceman  required  or  authorized   to
 5    collect  the  tax  herein imposed shall pay to the Department
 6    the amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at  the
 7    time  when  he  is required to file his return for the period
 8    during which such tax was collected, less a discount of  2.1%
 9    prior  to  January  1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1,
10    1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
11    allowed to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred  in
12    collecting  the  tax,  keeping  records, preparing and filing
13    returns,  remitting  the  tax  and  supplying  data  to   the
14    Department  on request. A serviceman need not remit that part
15    of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
16    to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
17    Tax Act with respect to his sale  of  service  involving  the
18    incidental transfer by him of the same property.
19        Except  as  provided  hereinafter  in this Section, on or
20    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
21    serviceman shall file a return  for  the  preceding  calendar
22    month  in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to
23    be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be  filed
24    on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
25    information as the Department may reasonably require.
26        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
27    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
28    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
29    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
30    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
31    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
32    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
33    stating:
 
                            -31-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1             1.  The name of the seller;
 2             2.  The  address  of the principal place of business
 3        from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
 4        State;
 5             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
 6        him  during  the  preceding  calendar  month,   including
 7        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all
 8        deductions allowed by law;
 9             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
10        this Act;
11             5.  The amount of tax due;
12             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
13             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
14        Department may require.
15        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
16    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
17    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
18    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
19        Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an  average
20    monthly  tax  liability  of  $150,000  or more shall make all
21    payments required by rules of the  Department  by  electronic
22    funds  transfer.   Beginning  October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
23    has an average monthly tax  liability  of  $100,000  or  more
24    shall  make  all payments required by rules of the Department
25    by electronic funds transfer.  Beginning October 1,  1995,  a
26    taxpayer  who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
27    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
28    Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
29    2000,  a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000
30    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
31    Department  by  electronic  funds transfer.  The term "annual
32    tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
33    under  this  Act,  and  under  all  other  State  and   local
34    occupation  and  use tax laws administered by the Department,
 
                            -32-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    for the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year.    The  term
 2    "average   monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of  the
 3    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
 4    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by
 5    the Department, for the immediately preceding  calendar  year
 6    divided by 12.
 7        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
 8    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
 9    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
10    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
11    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
12    1.
13        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
14    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
15    with the permission of the Department.
16        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
17    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
18    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
19    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
20        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
21    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
22    requirements of this Section.
23        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
24    return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax  liability
25    to  the  Department  does not exceed $200, the Department may
26    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
27    with  the  return  for January, February and March of a given
28    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
29    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
30    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
31    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
32    the return for October, November and December of a given year
33    being due by January 20 of the following year.
34        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
 
                            -33-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    or quarterly return and if the serviceman's  average  monthly
 2    tax  liability  to  the  Department  does not exceed $50, the
 3    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
 4    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
 5    20 of the following year.
 6        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
 7    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
 8    monthly returns.
 9        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
10    concerning the time within which a serviceman  may  file  his
11    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
12    a  kind  of  business  which makes him responsible for filing
13    returns under this Act, such serviceman shall  file  a  final
14    return  under  this  Act  with the Department not more than 1
15    month after discontinuing such business.
16        Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect  to  the
17    selling  price  of  property which he sells and the purchaser
18    thereafter returns such property and the  serviceman  refunds
19    the  selling  price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
20    shall also refund, to the purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected
21    from  the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in
22    which he refunds such tax to the  purchaser,  the  serviceman
23    may  deduct  the  amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
24    purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service  Occupation
25    Tax,   retailers'  occupation  tax  or  use  tax  which  such
26    serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
27    as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the  tax
28    to  be  deducted  shall  previously have been remitted to the
29    Department by such serviceman. If the  serviceman  shall  not
30    previously  have  remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the
31    Department, he shall be entitled to  no  deduction  hereunder
32    upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
33        Any  serviceman  filing  a  return  hereunder  shall also
34    include the total tax upon  the  selling  price  of  tangible
 
                            -34-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    personal  property purchased for use by him as an incident to
 2    a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
 3    of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
 4        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
 5    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
 6    joint return which will enable servicemen, who  are  required
 7    to   file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under  the  Service
 8    Occupation Tax Act, to furnish  all  the  return  information
 9    required by both Acts on the one form.
10        Where   the   serviceman   has  more  than  one  business
11    registered with the Department  under  separate  registration
12    hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
13    due   as   a  single  return  covering  all  such  registered
14    businesses, but shall file separate  returns  for  each  such
15    registered business.
16        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
17    shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
18    fund in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for  the
19    preceding  month  from  the 1% tax on sales of food for human
20    consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
21    is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
22    which  has  been  prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and
23    prescription and nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical
24    appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
25    needles used by diabetics.
26        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
27    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund  20%
28    of  the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
29    6.25%  general  rate  on  transfers  of   tangible   personal
30    property,  other  than  tangible  personal  property which is
31    purchased outside Illinois at  retail  from  a  retailer  and
32    which  is  titled  or registered by an agency of this State's
33    government.
34        Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
 
                            -35-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund  100%  of
 2    the  net  revenue  realized  for the preceding month from the
 3    1.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
 4        Beginning January 1,  2001,  each  month  the  Department
 5    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100%
 6    of  the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
 7    1.25% rate on the selling price of propane and  home  heating
 8    oil.
 9        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
10    pursuant  to  this Act, (a)  1.75% thereof shall be paid into
11    the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,  1989,  2.2%
12    and  on  and  after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be  paid
13    into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that  if  in
14    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
15    as  the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
16    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
17    to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section  9
18    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
19    Section  9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
20    hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of  2.2%
21    or  3.8%,  as  the  case  may be, of moneys being hereinafter
22    called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the  amount  transferred
23    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
24    Reform  Fund  shall be less than the Annual Specified  Amount
25    (as defined in Section 3 of  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax
26    Act),  an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
27    paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys  received
28    by  the  Department  pursuant  to  the  Tax Acts; and further
29    provided, that if on the last business day of any  month  the
30    sum  of  (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
31    the Build Illinois Bond Account in the  Build  Illinois  Fund
32    during  such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
33    month to the Build Illinois Fund from  the  State  and  Local
34    Sales  Tax  Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the
 
                            -36-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal  to  the  difference
 2    shall  be  immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from
 3    other moneys received by the Department pursuant to  the  Tax
 4    Acts;  and,  further  provided,  that  in  no event shall the
 5    payments required  under  the  preceding  proviso  result  in
 6    aggregate  payments  into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
 7    this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the  greater
 8    of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
 9    for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
10    payable  into  the  Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b)
11    shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
12    on deposit under each trust indenture securing  Bonds  issued
13    and  outstanding  pursuant  to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
14    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
15    to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for  the
16    defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
17    any,  and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and
18    on any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter  and  all  fees
19    and  costs  payable with respect thereto, all as certified by
20    the Director of the Bureau of the Budget.   If  on  the  last
21    business  day  of  any  month  in which Bonds are outstanding
22    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
23    moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond  Account  in  the
24    Build  Illinois  Fund  in  such  month shall be less than the
25    amount required to be transferred  in  such  month  from  the
26    Build  Illinois  Bond  Account  to  the  Build  Illinois Bond
27    Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section  13  of  the
28    Build  Illinois  Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
29    shall be immediately paid from other moneys received  by  the
30    Department  pursuant  to  the  Tax Acts to the Build Illinois
31    Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to  the  Build
32    Illinois  Fund  in  any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
33    shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
34    of  the  preceding  sentence  and  shall  reduce  the  amount
 
                            -37-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b)
 2    of the  preceding  sentence.   The  moneys  received  by  the
 3    Department  pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited
 4    into the Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim
 5    and charge set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond
 6    Act.

 8    from such tax are unavailable  for  distribution  because  of
 9    litigation.
10        Subject  to  payment  of  amounts into the Build Illinois

 3        Section 20.  The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
 4    changing Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:

 5        (35 ILCS 115/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)
 6        Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax.   Unless  otherwise  provided  in
 7    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
 8    6.25% of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of  the
 9    Service  Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.  For
10    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
11    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
12    of  the  tangible personal property transferred.  The selling
13    price of each item of tangible personal property  transferred
14    as  an  incident  of  a  sale  of  service  may be shown as a
15    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
16    service customer. If the selling price is not so  shown,  the
17    selling  price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
18    be 50% of the serviceman's  entire  billing  to  the  service
19    customer.   When,  however, a serviceman contracts to design,
20    develop, and produce special order  machinery  or  equipment,
21    the   tax   imposed  by  this  Act  shall  be  based  on  the
22    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
23    transferred incident to the completion of the contract.
24        Beginning  on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000,
25    with respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of  the
26    Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40
27    of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
28        Beginning on December 1, 2000 and through May  31,  2001,
29    with  respect  to  propane  and  home heating oil, the tax is
30    imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
31        With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use  Tax  Act,
32    the  tax  imposed  by this Act shall apply to 70% of the cost
 
                            -41-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    price of property transferred as an incident to the  sale  of
 2    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
 3    and to 100% of the cost price thereafter.
 4        At  the  election  of  any registered serviceman made for
 5    each fiscal year, sales of service  in  which  the  aggregate
 6    annual  cost  price of tangible personal property transferred
 7    as an incident to the sales of service is less than  35%,  or
 8    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
 9    or  servicemen  engaged  in  graphic  arts production, of the
10    aggregate annual total  gross  receipts  from  all  sales  of
11    service,  the  tax  imposed by this Act shall be based on the
12    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
13    transferred incident to the sale of those services.
14        The  tax  shall  be  imposed  at  the  rate of 1% on food
15    prepared for immediate consumption and  transferred  incident
16    to  a  sale  of  service  subject  to this Act or the Service
17    Occupation Tax Act by an entity licensed under  the  Hospital
18    Licensing  Act,  the Nursing Home Care Act, or the Child Care
19    Act of 1969.  The tax shall also be imposed at the rate of 1%
20    on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off  the
21    premises  where  it  is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
22    soft drinks, and food that has been  prepared  for  immediate
23    consumption  and is not otherwise included in this paragraph)
24    and  prescription  and  nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,
25    medical  appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for the
26    purpose of rendering it usable  by  a  disabled  person,  and
27    insulin,  urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used
28    by diabetics, for  human  use.   For  the  purposes  of  this
29    Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete, finished,
30    ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not,
31    including  but  not limited to soda water, cola, fruit juice,
32    vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all other preparations
33    commonly known as soft drinks of whatever kind or description
34    that are contained in any closed or sealed  can,  carton,  or
 
                            -42-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    container,  regardless  of  size.   "Soft  drinks"  does  not
 2    include  coffee,  tea,  non-carbonated water, infant formula,
 3    milk or milk products as defined in the Grade  A  Pasteurized
 4    Milk  and Milk Products Act, or drinks containing 50% or more
 5    natural fruit or vegetable juice.
 6        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
 7    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
 8    where  it  is  sold" includes all food sold through a vending
 9    machine, except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that  are
10    dispensed  hot  from  a  vending  machine,  regardless of the
11    location of the vending machine.

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

 8    reasonably require.
 9        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
10    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
11    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
12    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
13    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for

30        Department may require.
31        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
32    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,

 1        A serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase  Credit
 2    certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
 3    Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
 4    the  purchaser  provides  the  appropriate  documentation  as
 5    required  by  Section  3-70  of  the  Service Use Tax Act.  A
 6    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted  by  a
 7    serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
 8    Act,  may  be  used  by  that  serviceman  to satisfy Service
 9    Occupation  Tax  liability  in  the  amount  claimed  in  the
10    certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
11    tax from a qualifying purchase.

14    $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of
15    the  Department  by  electronic  funds  transfer.   The  term
16    "annual tax liability" shall be the  sum  of  the  taxpayer's
17    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
18    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
19    Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.  The
20    term  "average  monthly  tax  liability" means the sum of the
21    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
22    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by
23    the Department, for the immediately preceding  calendar  year

 4        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
 5    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the

 7        Where a serviceman 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 serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
11    to  the  purchaser, such serviceman 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 serviceman may deduct the amount of the
15    tax  so  refunded  by  him  to  the  purchaser from any other

19    return,  provided  that  the amount of the tax to be deducted
20    shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
21    serviceman.  If the  serviceman  shall  not  previously  have
22    remitted  the  amount of such tax to the Department, he shall
23    be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
24    to the purchaser.
25        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
26    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or

14    or 3.8%, as the case may  be,  of  moneys  being  hereinafter
15    called  the  "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
16    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax

 9    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
10    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
11    property.
12        Remaining  moneys  received by the Department pursuant to
13    this Act shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund  of  the
14    State Treasury.
15        The  Department  may,  upon  separate written notice to a

18    less than 60 days after  receipt  of  the  notice  an  annual
19    information  return for the tax year specified in the notice.
20    Such  annual  return  to  the  Department  shall  include   a
21    statement  of  gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last
22    Federal income tax return.  If  the  total  receipts  of  the
23    business  as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
24    agree with the gross receipts reported to the  Department  of
25    Revenue for the same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his
26    annual  return  a  schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
27    amounts and the reasons for the difference.   The  taxpayer's
28    annual  return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
29    of goods sold by the taxpayer during the year covered by such
30    return, opening and closing inventories  of  such  goods  for
31    such  year, cost of goods used from stock or taken from stock
32    and given away by the taxpayer during  such  year,  pay  roll
33    information  of  the taxpayer's business during such year and
34    any additional reasonable information  which  the  Department
 
                            -53-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    deems  would  be  helpful  in determining the accuracy of the
 2    monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by  such  taxpayer
 3    as hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
 4        If the annual information return required by this Section
 5    is  not  filed  when  and  as required, the taxpayer shall be
 6    liable as follows:
 7             (i)  Until January 1, 1994, the  taxpayer  shall  be
 8        liable  for  a  penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
 9        from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
10        covered by the annual return for each month  or  fraction
11        of  a  month  until such return is filed as required, the
12        penalty to be assessed and collected in the  same  manner
13        as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
14             (ii)  On  and  after  January  1, 1994, the taxpayer
15        shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
16        of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
17        The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
18    ranking manager shall sign the annual return to  certify  the
19    accuracy  of  the  information contained therein.  Any person
20    who willfully signs the annual  return  containing  false  or
21    inaccurate   information  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury  and
22    punished accordingly.  The annual return form  prescribed  by
23    the  Department  shall  include  a  warning  that  the person
24    signing the return may be liable for perjury.
25        The foregoing portion  of  this  Section  concerning  the
26    filing  of  an annual information return shall not apply to a
27    serviceman who is not required to file an income  tax  return
28    with the United States Government.
29        As  soon  as  possible after the first day of each month,
30    upon  certification  of  the  Department  of   Revenue,   the
31    Comptroller  shall  order transferred and the Treasurer shall
32    transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel  Tax
33    Fund  an  amount  equal  to  1.7%  of  80% of the net revenue
34    realized under this  Act  for  the  second  preceding  month.

 1    Beginning  April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
 2    and shall not be made.
 3        Net revenue realized for a month  shall  be  the  revenue
 4    collected  by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
 5    paid out during  that  month  as  refunds  to  taxpayers  for
 6    overpayment of liability.
 7        For  greater  simplicity  of  administration, it shall be
 8    permissible  for  manufacturers,  importers  and  wholesalers
 9    whose products are sold by numerous servicemen  in  Illinois,
10    and  who  wish  to  do  so,  to assume the responsibility for
11    accounting and paying to  the  Department  all  tax  accruing
12    under  this Act with respect to such sales, if the servicemen
13    who are  affected  do  not  make  written  objection  to  the
14    Department to this arrangement.

22    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
23    6.25% of gross  receipts  from  sales  of  tangible  personal

29        Within  14  days  after  the  effective  date   of   this
30    amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, each retailer of

 3    State of Illinois has eliminated the State's share  of  sales
 4    tax  on motor fuel and gasohol through December 31, 2000. The
 5    price on this pump should  reflect  the  elimination  of  the
 6    tax."   The  notice  shall be printed in bold print on a sign
 7    that is no smaller than 4 inches by 8 inches.  The sign shall
 8    be clearly visible to customers.  Any retailer who  fails  to
 9    post or maintain a required sign through December 31, 2000 is
10    guilty  of  a  petty offense for which the fine shall be $500
11    per day per each retail premises where a violation occurs.
12        With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use  Tax  Act,
13    the tax imposed by this Act applies to 70% of the proceeds of

 4    refund amounts to the  Comptroller.   The  Comptroller  shall
 5    mail refund warrants to those purchasers by May 1, 2001.  The
 6    Department may implement this refund of taxes paid on propane
 7    and  home  heating  oil through the use of emergency rules in
 8    accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Section  5-45  of  the
 9    Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.  For purposes  of  the
10    Illinois  Administrative Procedure Act, the adoption of rules
11    to implement these changes shall be deemed an  emergency  and
12    necessary for the public interest, safety, and welfare.

20    satisfy  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  liability in the amount
21    claimed in the certification, not  to  exceed  6.25%  of  the
22    receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase.

13    than 50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50  cents
14    or more.
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

25    1,  2000,  a  taxpayer  who  has  an  annual tax liability of
26    $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of

29    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
30    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
31    Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.  The
32    term  "average monthly tax liability" shall be 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
 
                            -60-               LRB9114940SMcd
 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
 6    required  to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
 7    make those payments for a minimum of one  year  beginning  on
 8    October 1.
 9        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
10    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
11    with the permission of the Department.
12        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
13    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
14    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
15    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
16        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
17    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
18    requirements of this Section.
19        Any amount which is required to be shown or  reported  on
20    any  return  or  other document under this Act shall, if such
21    amount is not a whole-dollar  amount,  be  increased  to  the
22    nearest  whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional
23    part of a dollar is 50 cents or more, and  decreased  to  the
24    nearest  whole-dollar  amount  where the fractional part of a
25    dollar is less than 50 cents.
26        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
27    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
28    the  Department  does  not  exceed  $200,  the Department may
29    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
30    with  the  return  for January, February and March of a given
31    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
32    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
33    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
34    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
 
                            -61-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    the return for October, November and December of a given year
 2    being due by January 20 of the following year.
 3        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
 4    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
 5    liability  with  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50, the
 6    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
 7    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
 8    20 of the following year.
 9        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
10    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
11    monthly returns.
12        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
13    concerning the time within which  a  retailer  may  file  his
14    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
15    kind  of  business  which  makes  him  responsible for filing
16    returns under this Act, such  retailer  shall  file  a  final
17    return  under  this Act with the Department not more than one
18    month after discontinuing such business.
19        Where  the  same  person  has  more  than  one   business
20    registered  with  the Department under separate registrations
21    under this Act, such person may not file each return that  is
22    due   as   a  single  return  covering  all  such  registered
23    businesses, but shall file separate  returns  for  each  such
24    registered business.
25        In  addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
26    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
27    with  an  agency  of  this State, every retailer selling this
28    kind of tangible  personal  property  shall  file,  with  the
29    Department,  upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
30    Department, a separate return for each such item of  tangible
31    personal  property  which the retailer sells, except that if,
32    in  the  same  transaction,  (i)  a  retailer  of   aircraft,
33    watercraft,  motor  vehicles  or trailers transfers more than
34    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
 
                            -62-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor  vehicle  retailer  or  trailer
 2    retailer for the purpose of resale  or  (ii)  a  retailer  of
 3    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
 4    more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
 5    to a purchaser for use  as  a  qualifying  rolling  stock  as
 6    provided  in  Section  2-5  of this Act, then that seller may
 7    report  the  transfer  of  all  aircraft,  watercraft,  motor
 8    vehicles or trailers involved  in  that  transaction  to  the
 9    Department  on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
10    return form.  For  purposes  of  this  Section,  "watercraft"
11    means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in
12    Section  3-2  of  the  Boat  Registration  and  Safety Act, a
13    personal watercraft, or any boat  equipped  with  an  inboard
14    motor.
15        Any  retailer  who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
16    aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
17    an agency of this State, so that  all  retailers'  occupation
18    tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
19    such  transaction  reporting returns and who is not otherwise
20    required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not  file
21    monthly or quarterly returns.  However, those retailers shall
22    be required to file returns on an annual basis.
23        The  transaction  reporting  return, in the case of motor
24    vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered  with
25    an  agency  of  this State, shall be the same document as the
26    Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The  Illinois
27    Vehicle  Code  and  must  show  the  name  and address of the
28    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
29    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
30    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
31    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
32    if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this  Act  allows
33    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
34    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
 
                            -63-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
 2    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
 3    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
 4    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
 5    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
 6    place and date of the sale; a  sufficient  identification  of
 7    the  property  sold; such other information as is required in
 8    Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code,  and  such  other
 9    information as the Department may reasonably require.
10        The   transaction   reporting   return  in  the  case  of
11    watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of  the
12    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
13    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
14    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
15    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
16    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
17    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
18    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
19    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
20    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
21    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
22    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
23    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
24    place  and  date  of the sale, a sufficient identification of
25    the  property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as   the
26    Department may reasonably require.
27        Such  transaction  reporting  return  shall  be filed not
28    later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
29    is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at  any  time
30    sooner  than  that  if  he chooses to do so.  The transaction
31    reporting return and tax remittance  or  proof  of  exemption
32    from   the  Illinois  use  tax  may  be  transmitted  to  the
33    Department by way of the State agency with  which,  or  State
34    officer  with  whom  the  tangible  personal property must be
 
                            -64-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
 2    if the Department and such agency or State officer  determine
 3    that   this   procedure   will  expedite  the  processing  of
 4    applications for title or registration.
 5        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
 6    shall remit the proper amount of tax  due  (or  shall  submit
 7    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
 8    the  case),  to  the  Department or its agents, whereupon the
 9    Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name,  a  use  tax
10    receipt  (or  a certificate of exemption if the Department is
11    satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which  such
12    purchaser  may  submit  to  the  agency  with which, or State
13    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
14    personal   property   that   is   involved   (if  titling  or
15    registration is required)  in  support  of  such  purchaser's
16    application  for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
17    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
18        No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under  this
19    Act  precludes  a  user,  who  has paid the proper tax to the
20    retailer, from obtaining his certificate of  title  or  other
21    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
22    is  required)  upon  satisfying the Department that such user
23    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
24    Department shall adopt appropriate rules  to  carry  out  the
25    mandate of this paragraph.
26        If  the  user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
27    wants the transaction reporting return filed and the  payment
28    of  the  tax  or  proof  of  exemption made to the Department
29    before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
30    user has not paid the tax to  the  retailer,  such  user  may
31    certify  to  the  fact  of such delay by the retailer and may
32    (upon the Department being satisfied of  the  truth  of  such
33    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
34    transaction  reporting  return  and the remittance for tax or
 
                            -65-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain  his
 2    tax  receipt  or  exemption determination, in which event the
 3    transaction reporting return and tax  remittance  (if  a  tax
 4    payment  was required) shall be credited by the Department to
 5    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
 6    without the 2.1% or  1.75%  discount  provided  for  in  this
 7    Section  being  allowed.  When the user pays the tax directly
 8    to the Department, he shall pay the tax in  the  same  amount
 9    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
10    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
11        Refunds  made  by  the seller during the preceding return
12    period  to  purchasers,  on  account  of  tangible   personal
13    property  returned  to  the  seller,  shall  be  allowed as a
14    deduction under subdivision 5 of  his  monthly  or  quarterly
15    return,   as  the  case  may  be,  in  case  the  seller  had
16    theretofore included the  receipts  from  the  sale  of  such
17    tangible  personal  property in a return filed by him and had
18    paid the tax  imposed  by  this  Act  with  respect  to  such
19    receipts.
20        Where  the  seller  is a corporation, the return filed on
21    behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the  president,
22    vice-president,  secretary  or  treasurer  or by the properly
23    accredited agent of such corporation.
24        Where the seller is  a  limited  liability  company,  the
25    return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
26    be  signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
27    of the limited liability company.
28        Except as provided in this Section, the  retailer  filing
29    the  return  under  this Section shall, at the time of filing
30    such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax  imposed
31    by  this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990
32    and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or  $5  per  calendar
33    year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
34    retailer  for  the  expenses  incurred  in  keeping  records,
 
                            -66-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
 2    data  to  the  Department  on  request.   Any prepayment made
 3    pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included  in  the
 4    amount  on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed.  In
 5    the case of retailers  who  report  and  pay  the  tax  on  a
 6    transaction   by  transaction  basis,  as  provided  in  this
 7    Section, such discount shall be  taken  with  each  such  tax
 8    remittance  instead  of when such retailer files his periodic
 9    return.
10        Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
11    tax liability to the Department under this Act, the  Use  Tax
12    Act,  the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
13    Act, excluding any liability for  prepaid  sales  tax  to  be
14    remitted  in  accordance  with  Section  2d  of this Act, was
15    $10,000 or more during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
16    quarters,  he  shall  file  a return with the Department each
17    month by the 20th day of the month next following  the  month
18    during  which  such  tax liability is incurred and shall make
19    payments to the Department on or before the 7th,  15th,  22nd
20    and  last  day  of  the  month during which such liability is
21    incurred. On and after October 1,  2000,  if  the  taxpayer's
22    average  monthly  tax  liability to the Department under this
23    Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
24    Service Use Tax Act,  excluding  any  liability  for  prepaid
25    sales  tax  to  be  remitted in accordance with Section 2d of
26    this Act, was $20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
27    calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
28    each month by the 20th day of the month  next  following  the
29    month  during  which such tax liability is incurred and shall
30    make payment to the Department on or before  the  7th,  15th,
31    22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
32    incurred.    If  the month during which such tax liability is
33    incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each  payment  shall
34    be  in  an  amount  equal  to  1/4  of  the taxpayer's actual
 
                            -67-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    liability for the month or an amount set  by  the  Department
 2    not  to  exceed  1/4  of the average monthly liability of the
 3    taxpayer to the  Department  for  the  preceding  4  complete
 4    calendar  quarters  (excluding the month of highest liability
 5    and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter  period).
 6    If  the  month  during  which  such tax liability is incurred
 7    begins on or after January 1, 1985 and prior  to  January  1,
 8    1987,  each  payment  shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
 9    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
10    taxpayer's liability for  the  same  calendar  month  of  the
11    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
12    is  incurred  begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
13    January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to
14    22.5%  of  the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or
15    26.25% of the taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar
16    month  of the preceding year.  If the month during which such
17    tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
18    and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or  after  January
19    1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
20    the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or 25% of the
21    taxpayer's liability for  the  same  calendar  month  of  the
22    preceding  year. If the month during which such tax liability
23    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior  to
24    January  1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
25    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
26    of the taxpayer's liability for the same  calendar  month  of
27    the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
28    for the quarter monthly reporting period.  The amount of such
29    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
30    tax liability  of  the  taxpayer's  return  for  that  month.
31    Before  October  1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
32    the making of quarter monthly payments to the  Department  by
33    taxpayers  having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
34    or more as determined in  the  manner  provided  above  shall
 
                            -68-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    continue  until  such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
 2    the Department  during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
 3    quarters  (excluding  the  month of highest liability and the
 4    month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
 5    taxpayer's average monthly liability  to  the  Department  as
 6    computed  for  each  calendar  quarter  of  the  4  preceding
 7    complete  calendar  quarter  period  is  less  than  $10,000.
 8    However,  if  a  taxpayer  can  show  the  Department  that a
 9    substantial change in the taxpayer's  business  has  occurred
10    which  causes  the  taxpayer  to  anticipate that his average
11    monthly tax liability for the reasonably  foreseeable  future
12    will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
13    taxpayer  may  petition  the  Department for a change in such
14    taxpayer's reporting status.  On and after October  1,  2000,
15    once  applicable,  the  requirement  of the making of quarter
16    monthly payments to the Department  by  taxpayers  having  an
17    average   monthly   tax  liability  of  $20,000  or  more  as
18    determined in the manner provided above shall continue  until
19    such  taxpayer's  average monthly liability to the Department
20    during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters  (excluding
21    the  month  of  highest  liability  and  the  month of lowest
22    liability) is less than  $19,000  or  until  such  taxpayer's
23    average  monthly  liability to the Department as computed for
24    each calendar quarter of the 4  preceding  complete  calendar
25    quarter  period is less than $20,000.  However, if a taxpayer
26    can show the Department that  a  substantial  change  in  the
27    taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to
28    anticipate  that  his  average  monthly tax liability for the
29    reasonably foreseeable future will  fall  below  the  $20,000
30    threshold  stated  above, then such taxpayer may petition the
31    Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting  status.
32    The  Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
33    unless it finds that such change is seasonal  in  nature  and
34    not  likely  to  be  long  term.  If any such quarter monthly
 
                            -69-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required  by
 2    this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
 3    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
 4    as  a  payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
 5    actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer  has
 6    previously  made payments for that month to the Department in
 7    excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided  in
 8    this  Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
 9    regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount  and
10    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
11    than a calendar monthly basis.
12        Without  regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
13    quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
14    is required by Section 2d of this Act to  collect  and  remit
15    prepaid  taxes  and has collected prepaid taxes which average
16    in excess  of  $25,000  per  month  during  the  preceding  2
17    complete  calendar  quarters,  shall  file  a return with the
18    Department as required by Section 2f and shall make  payments
19    to  the  Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
20    day of the month during which such liability is incurred.  If
21    the month during which such tax liability is  incurred  began
22    prior  to  the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
23    each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
24    taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d.  If  the  month
25    during  which  such  tax  liability  is incurred begins on or
26    after January 1, 1986, each payment shall  be  in  an  amount
27    equal  to  22.5%  of  the taxpayer's actual liability for the
28    month or 27.5% of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same
29    calendar  month of the preceding calendar year.  If the month
30    during which such tax liability  is  incurred  begins  on  or
31    after  January  1,  1987,  each payment shall be in an amount
32    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
33    month  or  26.25%  of  the  taxpayer's liability for the same
34    calendar month of the preceding year.   The  amount  of  such
 
                            -70-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
 2    tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that  month  filed
 3    under  this  Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.  Once
 4    applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter  monthly
 5    payments  to  the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
 6    continue until such taxpayer's average  monthly  prepaid  tax
 7    collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
 8    is  $25,000  or less.  If any such quarter monthly payment is
 9    not paid at the time or in the amount required, the  taxpayer
10    shall   be   liable   for  penalties  and  interest  on  such
11    difference, except insofar as  the  taxpayer  has  previously
12    made  payments  for  that  month  in  excess  of  the minimum
13    payments previously due.
14        If any payment provided for in this Section  exceeds  the
15    taxpayer's  liabilities  under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
16    Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use  Tax  Act,  as
17    shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
18    requested  by  the  taxpayer,  issue to the taxpayer a credit
19    memorandum no later than 30 days after the date  of  payment.
20    The  credit  evidenced  by  such  credit  memorandum  may  be
21    assigned  by  the  taxpayer  to a similar taxpayer under this
22    Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act  or  the
23    Service  Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
24    regulations to be prescribed by the Department.  If  no  such
25    request  is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
26    against tax liability subsequently  to  be  remitted  to  the
27    Department  under  this  Act,  the  Use  Tax Act, the Service
28    Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in  accordance
29    with  reasonable  rules  and  regulations  prescribed  by the
30    Department.  If the Department subsequently  determined  that
31    all  or  any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
32    the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
33    shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the  difference  between
34    the  credit  taken  and  that actually due, and that taxpayer
 
                            -71-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    shall  be  liable  for  penalties  and   interest   on   such
 2    difference.
 3        If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
 4    Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
 5    to  the  Department  under  this  Act for the month which the
 6    taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall  issue  the
 7    taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
 8        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 9    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special  fund
10    in  the  State  treasury  which  is  hereby  created, the net
11    revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%  tax  on
12    sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be consumed
13    off the premises where  it  is  sold  (other  than  alcoholic
14    beverages,  soft  drinks and food which has been prepared for
15    immediate consumption) and prescription  and  nonprescription
16    medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and  insulin,  urine
17    testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
18        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
19    shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District  Fund,  a
20    special  fund  in the State treasury which is hereby created,
21    4% of the net revenue realized for the preceding  month  from
22    the 6.25% general rate.
23        Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
24    pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the
25    net  revenue  realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
26    rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
27        Beginning January 1,  2001,  each  month  the  Department
28    shall  pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20%
29    of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from  the
30    1.25%  rate  on the selling price of propane and home heating
31    oil.
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%
 
                            -72-               LRB9114940SMcd
 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  January  1,  2001,  each  month the Department
 8    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of  the  net
 9    revenue  realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate
10    on the selling price of propane and home heating oil.
11        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
12    pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall  be  paid  into
13    the  Build  Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
14    and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8%  thereof  shall  be  paid
15    into  the  Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
16    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
17    as the case may be, of the moneys received by the  Department
18    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
19    to  this  Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the
20    Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service  Occupation
21    Tax  Act,  such  Acts being hereinafter called the "Tax Acts"
22    and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case  may  be,  of
23    moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2)
24    the  amount  transferred  to the Build Illinois Fund from the
25    State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be less than  the
26    Annual  Specified  Amount (as hereinafter defined), an amount
27    equal to the difference shall be immediately  paid  into  the

10    and each fiscal year thereafter; and further  provided,  that
11    if  on  the last business day of any month the sum of (1) the
12    Tax Act Amount  required  to  be  deposited  into  the  Build
13    Illinois  Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such
14    month and (2) the amount transferred to  the  Build  Illinois
15    Fund  from  the  State  and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall
16    have been less than 1/12 of the Annual Specified  Amount,  an
17    amount equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into
18    the  Build  Illinois  Fund  from other moneys received by the
19    Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and,  further  provided,
20    that  in  no  event  shall  the  payments  required under the
21    preceding proviso result in aggregate payments into the Build
22    Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year
23    in excess of the greater of (i) the Tax Act  Amount  or  (ii)
24    the  Annual  Specified  Amount  for  such  fiscal  year.  The
25    amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under clause (b)
26    of the first sentence in this paragraph shall be payable only
27    until such time as the aggregate amount on deposit under each
28    trust  indenture  securing  Bonds  issued   and   outstanding
29    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking
30    into  account any future investment income, to fully provide,

 4    pursuant  to  the  Build  Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of
 5    moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond  Account  in  the
 6    Build  Illinois  Fund  in  such  month shall be less than the
 7    amount required to be transferred  in  such  month  from  the

13    Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to  the  Build
14    Illinois  Fund  in  any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
15    shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
16    of the first sentence of this paragraph and shall reduce  the
17    amount  otherwise  payable  for  such fiscal year pursuant to
18    that clause (b).   The  moneys  received  by  the  Department

20    Build Illinois Fund are subject  to  the  pledge,  claim  and
21    charge  set  forth  in  Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond

12    to  the  preceding  paragraphs  or  in  any amendment thereto

15    revenue realized for the preceding month from the 5%  general
16    rate  or  0.4%  of  80%  of  the net revenue realized for the

24    from such tax are unavailable  for  distribution  because  of
25    litigation.

                            -77-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof  shall  be  paid  into  the
 2    State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
 3    and  used  only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as
 4    part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
 5    accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
 6        The Department may, upon separate  written  notice  to  a
 7    taxpayer,  require  the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
 8    Department on a form prescribed by the Department within  not
 9    less  than  60  days  after  receipt  of the notice an annual
10    information return for the tax year specified in the  notice.
11    Such   annual  return  to  the  Department  shall  include  a
12    statement of gross receipts as shown by the  retailer's  last
13    Federal  income  tax  return.   If  the total receipts of the
14    business as reported in the Federal income tax return do  not
15    agree  with  the gross receipts reported to the Department of
16    Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach to his
17    annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation  of  the  2
18    amounts  and  the reasons for the difference.  The retailer's
19    annual return to the Department shall also disclose the  cost
20    of goods sold by the retailer during the year covered by such
21    return,  opening  and  closing  inventories of such goods for
22    such year, costs of goods used from stock or taken from stock
23    and given away by the  retailer  during  such  year,  payroll
24    information  of  the retailer'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  retailer
28    as 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
 
                            -78-               LRB9114940SMcd
 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 provisions of this Section concerning the  filing  of
17    an  annual  information return do not apply to a retailer who
18    is not required to file an income tax return with the  United
19    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, manufacturers,
33    importers and wholesalers whose products are sold  at  retail
34    in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
 
                            -79-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    assume  the  responsibility  for accounting and paying to the
 2    Department all tax accruing under this Act  with  respect  to
 3    such  sales,  if  the  retailers who are affected do not make
 4    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
 5        Any  person  who  promotes,  organizes,  provides  retail
 6    selling space for concessionaires or other types  of  sellers
 7    at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
 8    local  fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions
 9    or events, including any transient  merchant  as  defined  by
10    Section  2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required
11    to file a report with the Department providing  the  name  of
12    the  merchant's  business,  the name of the person or persons
13    engaged in merchant's business,  the  permanent  address  and
14    Illinois  Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the
15    merchant, the dates and  location  of  the  event  and  other
16    reasonable  information that the Department may require.  The
17    report must be filed not later than the 20th day of the month
18    next following the month during which the event  with  retail
19    sales  was  held.   Any  person  who  fails  to file a report
20    required by this Section commits a business  offense  and  is
21    subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
22        Any  person  engaged  in the business of selling tangible
23    personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
24    of seller at the  Illinois  State  Fair,  county  fairs,  art
25    shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
26    transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
27    Merchant  Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
28    of the amount of such sales to the Department and to  make  a
29    daily  payment of the full amount of tax due.  The Department
30    shall impose this requirement when it finds that there  is  a
31    significant  risk  of loss of revenue to the State at such an
32    exhibition or event.   Such  a  finding  shall  be  based  on
33    evidence  that  a  substantial  number  of concessionaires or
34    other sellers who are  not  residents  of  Illinois  will  be
 
                            -80-               LRB9114940SMcd
 1    engaging   in  the  business  of  selling  tangible  personal
 2    property at retail at  the  exhibition  or  event,  or  other
 3    evidence  of  a  significant  risk  of loss of revenue to the
 4    State.  The Department shall notify concessionaires and other
 5    sellers affected by the imposition of this  requirement.   In
 6    the   absence   of   notification   by  the  Department,  the
 7    concessionaires and other sellers shall file their returns as
 8    otherwise required in this Section.
