11             Act;  Sections 2, 3, and 9 of the Service Occupation

16             effective   July   28,  1988,  contained  provisions

18             creating  Section  .01  of the State Revenue Sharing
19             Act.
20                  (E)  Article V of Public Act 85-1135, effective
21             July 28, 1988, contained provisions  precluding  any
22             effect on a pre-existing right, remedy, or liability
23             and  authorizing enactment of home rule municipality
24             ordinances.
25             (2)  Public Act 85-1135  also  contained  provisions

28             (3)  On August 26, 1998,  the  Cook  County  Circuit
29        Court  entered  an  order  in  the  case of Oak Park Arms
30        Associates v. Whitley (No. 92 L 51045), in which it found
31        that Public  Act  85-1135  violates  the  single  subject
32        clause  of the Illinois Constitution (Article IV, Section
33        8(d)).  As of the time this Act was prepared,  the  order
34        declaring  P.A.  85-1135 invalid has been vacated but the
 
SB144 Enrolled             -3-                 LRB9101598PTpk
 1        case is subject to appeal.
 2             (4)  The tax provisions of Public Act 85-1135 affect
 3        many areas of vital concern to the people of this  State.
 4        The  disruption  of  the  tax  reform  contained in those
 5        provisions  could  constitute  a  grave  threat  to   the
 6        continued  health,  safety,  and welfare of the people of
 7        this State.
 8        (b)  It is the purpose of this Act to prevent or minimize
 9    any problems  relating  to  taxation  that  may  result  from
10    challenges  to  the  constitutional  validity  of  Public Act
11    85-1135,  by  (1)  re-enacting  provisions  from  Public  Act
12    85-1135 and (2) validating all actions taken in  reliance  on
13    those provisions from Public Act 85-1135.
14        (c)  Because  Public  Act  86-962,  effective  January 1,
15    1990, renumbered Sections 24a-1,  24a-2,  24a-3,  24a-4,  and
16    25.05   of   the  Counties  Code,  this  Act  contains  those
17    provisions  as  renumbered  under  Sections  5-1006,  5-1007,
18    5-1008, 5-1009, and 5-1024 of  the  Counties  Code.   Because
19    Public  Act  86-1475, effective January 10, 1991, resectioned
20    Section 3 of the Use Tax Act, Section 3 of  the  Service  Use
21    Tax  Act,  Section  3  of the Service Occupation Tax Act, and
22    Section 2 of the Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Act,  this  Act
23    contains  those  provisions  as resectioned under Sections 3,
24    3-5, 3-10, 3-15, 3-20, 3-25, 3-30, 3-35,  3-40,  3-45,  3-50,
25    3-55,  3-60,  3-65,  3-70, 3-75, and 3-80 of the Use Tax Act;
26    Sections 3, 3-5, 3-10, 3-15, 3-20, 3-25,  3-30,  3-35,  3-40,
27    3-45,  3-50, 3-55, 3-60, and 3-65 of the Service Use Tax Act;
28    Sections 3, 3-5, 3-10, 3-15, 3-20, 3-25,  3-30,  3-35,  3-40,
29    3-45,  and  3-50  of  the  Service  Occupation  Tax  Act; and
30    Sections 2, 2-5, 2-10, 2-15, 2-20, 2-25,  2-30,  2-35,  2-40,
31    2-45, 2-50, 2-55, 2-60, 2-65 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
32    Act.  Because Public Act 85-1440, effective February 1, 1989,
33    renumbered Section 6z-16 of the State Finance Act and Section
34    .01 of the State Revenue Sharing Act, this Act contains those
 
SB144 Enrolled             -4-                 LRB9101598PTpk
 1    provisions  as  renumbered  under  Section 6z-18 of the State
 2    Finance Act and Section 0.1 of the State Revenue Sharing Act.
 3    Sections 10b of the Use Tax Act, 10b of the Service  Use  Tax
 4    Act,  20.1  of  the Service Occupation Tax Act, and 6d of the
 5    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act have been omitted from this Act
 6    because they were repealed by Public Act  87-1258,  effective
 7    January 7, 1993.
 8        (d)  This  Act re-enacts Section 1 of Article I of Public
 9    Act 85-1135; Sections 8-11-1, 8-11-1.1,  8-11-1.2,  8-11-1.3,

21    3-20, 3-25, 3-30, 3-35, 3-40, 3-45, 3-50, 9, 13, 15, and 20.1
22    of  the  Service  Occupation  Tax Act; Sections 2, 2-5, 2-10,

27    Act; and Sections 1 and 2 of Article V of Public Act  85-1135
28    as  they  have  been  amended.   It  also re-repeals Sections
29    25.05a,  25.05-2,  25.05-2a,  25.05-3,  25.05-3a,   25.05-10,
30    25.05-10a,  and  25.05-10.1  of  "An Act to revise the law in
31    relation to counties" and Sections 10 and 14 of  the  Service
32    Occupation  Tax  Act.    This  re-enactment  and re-repeal is
33    intended to remove  any  questions  as  to  the  validity  or
34    content  of  those  Sections; it is not intended to supersede
 
SB144 Enrolled             -5-                 LRB9101598PTpk
 1    any  other Public Act that amends the text of  a  Section  as
 2    set  forth  in this Act.  The re-enacted material in this Act
 3    is  shown  as  existing  text  (i.e.,  without  underscoring)
 4    because, as of the time this  Act  was  prepared,  the  order
 5    declaring P.A. 85-1135 invalid has been vacated.
 6        (e)  In  Sections  100 and 900 of this Act, references to
 7    "this amendatory Act of 1988" mean  Public  Act  85-1135,  as
 8    re-enacted by this Act.
 9        (f)  The  re-enactment or re-repeal of Sections of Public
10    Act 85-1135 by this Act is not intended,  and  shall  not  be
11    construed,  to imply that Public Act 85-1135 is invalid or to
12    limit or impair any legal argument (1) upholding the validity
13    of  Public  Act  85-1135  or  (2)  concerning   whether   the
14    provisions   of   Public   Act   85-1135  were  substantially
15    re-enacted by other Public Acts.
16        (g)  All otherwise lawful  actions  taken  in  reasonable
17    reliance  on  or  pursuant to the Sections re-enacted by this
18    Act, as set forth  in  Public  Act  85-1135  or  subsequently
19    amended,  by  any officer, employee, agency, or unit of State
20    or local government or by any other  person  or  entity,  are
21    hereby validated.
22        With  respect  to  actions  taken  in relation to matters
23    arising under the Sections re-enacted by  this  Act,  as  set
24    forth in Public Act 85-1135 or subsequently amended, a person
25    is  rebuttably  presumed to have acted in reasonable reliance
26    on and pursuant to the provisions of Public Act  85-1135,  as
27    those  provisions had been amended at the time the action was
28    taken.
29        (h)  With  respect  to  its  administration  of   matters
30    arising  under  the  Sections  re-enacted  by  this  Act, the
31    Department of Revenue shall continue to apply the  provisions
32    of  Public  Act 85-1135, as those provisions had been amended
33    at the relevant time.
34        (i)  This Act applies, without limitation, to proceedings

 7    that:
 8        (a)  the abolition of the authority of municipalities and
 9    counties  to  impose  occupation  and  use  taxes,  and   the
10    corresponding  concurrent  increase of the state rate of such
11    taxes   with   a   corresponding   distribution    to    such
12    municipalities  and  counties pursuant to this amendatory Act
13    of 1988, shall remain in full force and effect on a permanent
14    basis;
15        (b)  there shall be no reduction or redistribution as  to
16    proportional   amount   of  such  corresponding  distribution
17    received  by  such  municipalities  and  counties  except  as
18    expressly provided in this amendatory Act of 1988;
19        (c)  there shall be no reduction of the rate or  base  of
20    such  taxes  except  as expressly provided in this amendatory
21    Act of 1988;
22        (d)  there shall be no limitation on the  use  of  monies
23    received  by  such  municipalities  and  counties  except  as

26    municipalities  and  counties  shall  remain  on the basis of
27    point of sale;
28        (f)  tax revenues collected pursuant to the State use tax
29    Acts  on  interstate  transactions  involving   transfer   of
30    tangible personal property shall be distributed in accordance
31    with  the  formula established by this amendatory Act of 1988

 1        (g)  repeal of the statutory authority of  municipalities
 2    and counties to impose local retailers' occupation taxes, use
 3    taxes, and service occupation taxes shall not be so construed
 4    as   to   impair   the   provisions   of   any   development,
 5    redevelopment,  annexation,  preannexation  or  other  lawful
 6    agreement  which  describes or refers to receipts from any of
 7    such taxes, but, rather, any such description or reference to
 8    such taxes shall be given effect as if reference were made in
 9    such agreement to the replacement revenue for such  abolished
10    taxes received from the Local Government Tax Fund, County and
11    Mass  Transit Tax Fund or Local Government Distributive Fund,
12    as the case may be.

16    offset  amount  shall  be  the  amount  erroneously disbursed
17    within the 6 months preceding the  time  a  misallocation  is
18    discovered.
19        The  provisions  directing  the  distributions  from  the

24    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
25    6.25%  of  either the selling price or the fair market value,
26    if any, of the tangible  personal  property.   In  all  cases

31    or  waste  product  that  has  been refined, manufactured, or

 5    willing  seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or

 7    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
 8    sales   by   the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property  as  that
 9    functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such  sales
10    by  the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases of

29    other preparations commonly known as soft drinks of  whatever
30    kind  or  description  that  are  contained  in any closed or

 9    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside
10    Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
11    taxable  under this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax

14    out-of-state use.

 4    property.  This exemption includes the sale of exempted types
 5    of machinery or equipment to  a  purchaser  who  is  not  the
 6    manufacturer, but who rents or leases the use of the property
 7    to  a  manufacturer.  The  purchaser  of  the  machinery  and
 8    equipment  who has an active resale registration number shall
 9    furnish that number to the seller at the time of purchase.  A
10    user of the machinery, equipment, or tools without an  active
11    resale  registration  number  shall  prepare a certificate of
12    exemption for each transaction stating facts establishing the
13    exemption for that transaction, and that certificate shall be
14    available to the Department  for  inspection  or  audit.  The

 1    that,  after  being  brought  into this State and stored here
 2    temporarily,  is  used  solely  outside  this  State  or   is
 3    physically  attached  to  or incorporated into other tangible

14    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
15    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
16    1.
17        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic

24        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
25    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
26    requirements of this Section.

28    Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
29    the  Service  Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act was
30    $10,000 or more during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
31    quarters,  he  shall  file  a return with the Department each
32    month by the 20th day of the month next following  the  month

 4    be in an  amount  equal  to  1/4  of  the  taxpayer's  actual
 5    liability  for  the  month or an amount set by the Department
 6    not to exceed 1/4 of the average  monthly  liability  of  the

 8    calendar quarters (excluding the month of  highest  liability
 9    and  the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
10    If the month during which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred
11    begins  on  or after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1,
12    1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to  22.5%  of
13    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
14    taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar  month of the
15    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
16    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior  to
17    January  1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
18    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability  for  the  month  or
19    26.25%  of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for the same calendar
20    month of the preceding year.  If the month during which  such
21    tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
22    and  prior  to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
23    1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
24    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%  of  the
25    taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar  month of the
26    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
27    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior  to
28    January  1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
29    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
30    of the taxpayer's liability for the same  calendar  month  of
31    the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
32    for the quarter monthly reporting period.  The amount of such
33    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
34    tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.   Once
 
SB144 Enrolled             -38-                LRB9101598PTpk
 1    applicable,  the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
 2    payments  to  the  Department  shall  continue   until   such
 3    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
 4    the  preceding  4  complete  calendar quarters (excluding the
 5    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
 6    is less than $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly
 7    liability to the Department as  computed  for  each  calendar
 8    quarter  of  the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
 9    is less than $10,000.  However, if a taxpayer  can  show  the
10    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
11    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
12    that  his  average  monthly  tax liability for the reasonably
13    foreseeable  future  will  fall  below  $10,000,  then   such
14    taxpayer  may  petition  the  Department  for  change in such
15    taxpayer's reporting status.   The  Department  shall  change
16    such  taxpayer's  reporting  status unless it finds that such
17    change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long  term.
18    If  any  such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time
19    or in the amount required by this Section, then the  taxpayer
20    shall  be liable for penalties and interest on the difference
21    between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
22    monthly payment actually and timely paid, except  insofar  as
23    the  taxpayer  has previously made payments for that month to
24    the Department in excess of the minimum  payments  previously
25    due  as  provided in this Section.  The Department shall make
26    reasonable  rules  and  regulations  to  govern  the  quarter
27    monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates  for
28    taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
29        If  any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
30    the taxpayer's liabilities under  this  Act,  the  Retailers'
31    Occupation  Tax  Act,  the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
32    Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly  return,
33    the   Department   shall  issue  to  the  taxpayer  a  credit
34    memorandum no later than 30 days after the date  of  payment,
 
SB144 Enrolled             -39-                LRB9101598PTpk
 1    which  memorandum  may  be  submitted  by the taxpayer to the
 2    Department in payment of tax  liability  subsequently  to  be
 3    remitted  by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
 4    the taxpayer to  a  similar  taxpayer  under  this  Act,  the
 5    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
 6    or  the  Service  Use  Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
 7    rules and regulations to be  prescribed  by  the  Department,
 8    except  that  if  such excess payment is shown on an original
 9    monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
10    memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
11    If no such request is made,  the  taxpayer  may  credit  such
12    excess  payment  against  tax  liability  subsequently  to be
13    remitted by the taxpayer to the Department  under  this  Act,
14    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
15    Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
16    rules  and  regulations prescribed by the Department.  If the
17    Department subsequently determines that all or  any  part  of
18    the  credit  taken  was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
19    taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall  be  reduced
20    by  2.1%  or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
21    and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be  liable  for
22    penalties and interest on such difference.
23        If  the  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
24    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
25    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  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
 
SB144 Enrolled             -40-                LRB9101598PTpk
 1    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
 2    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 retailer may file his
11    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
12    kind of business  which  makes  him  responsible  for  filing
13    returns  under  this  Act,  such  retailer shall file a final
14    return under this Act with the Department not more  than  one
15    month after discontinuing such business.
16        In  addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
17    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
18    with  an  agency  of  this State, every retailer selling this
19    kind of tangible  personal  property  shall  file,  with  the
20    Department,  upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
21    Department, a separate return for each such item of  tangible
22    personal  property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except that
23    where, in the  same  transaction,  a  retailer  of  aircraft,
24    watercraft,  motor  vehicles  or trailers transfers more than
25    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
26    aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer  retailer  for
27    the  purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report the
28    transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor  vehicles  or
29    trailers  involved  in  that transaction to the Department on
30    the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting  return  form.
31    For  purposes  of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
32    Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section  3-2  of
33    the  Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft,
34    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.

 1        The transaction reporting return in  the  case  of  motor
 2    vehicles  or trailers that are required to be registered with
 3    an agency of this State, shall be the same  document  as  the
 4    Uniform  Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
 5    Vehicle Code and must  show  the  name  and  address  of  the
 6    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
 7    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
 8    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
 9    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
10    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
11    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
12    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
13    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer

20    Section  5-402  of  the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
21    information as the Department may reasonably require.
22        The  transaction  reporting  return  in   the   case   of
23    watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
24    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of

 2    place  and  date  of the sale, a sufficient identification of
 3    the  property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as   the
 4    Department may reasonably require.
 5        Such  transaction  reporting  return  shall  be filed not
 6    later than 20 days after the date of  delivery  of  the  item
 7    that  is  being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any
 8    time  sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.    The
 9    transaction  reporting  return and tax remittance or proof of
10    exemption from the tax that is imposed by  this  Act  may  be
11    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
12    which,  or  State  officer  with  whom, the tangible personal
13    property  must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling   or
14    registration  is  required) if the Department and such agency
15    or State officer determine that this procedure will  expedite
16    the processing of applications for title or registration.
17        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
18    shall  remit  the  proper  amount of tax due (or shall submit
19    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
20    the case), to the Department or  its  agents,  whereupon  the
21    Department  shall  issue,  in  the  purchaser's  name,  a tax
22    receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the  Department  is
23    satisfied  that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
24    purchaser may submit to  the  agency  with  which,  or  State
25    officer  with  whom,  he  must title or register the tangible
26    personal  property  that   is   involved   (if   titling   or
27    registration  is  required)  in  support  of such purchaser's
28    application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence  of
29    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
30        No  retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
31    Act precludes a user, who has paid  the  proper  tax  to  the
32    retailer,  from  obtaining  his certificate of title or other
33    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
34    is required) upon satisfying the Department  that  such  user
 
SB144 Enrolled             -43-                LRB9101598PTpk
 1    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
 2    Department  shall  adopt  appropriate  rules to carry out the
 3    mandate of this paragraph.
 4        If the user who would otherwise pay tax to  the  retailer
 5    wants  the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
 6    of tax or proof of exemption made to  the  Department  before
 7    the  retailer  is willing to take these actions and such user
 8    has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user  may  certify
 9    to  the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the
10    Department   being   satisfied   of   the   truth   of   such
11    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
12    transaction reporting return and the remittance  for  tax  or
13    proof  of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
14    tax receipt or exemption determination, in  which  event  the
15    transaction  reporting  return  and  tax remittance (if a tax
16    payment was required) shall be credited by the Department  to
17    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
18    without  the  2.1%  or  1.75%  discount  provided for in this
19    Section being allowed.  When the user pays the  tax  directly
20    to  the  Department,  he shall pay the tax in the same amount
21    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
22    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
23        Where a retailer collects the tax  with  respect  to  the
24    selling  price  of  tangible personal property which he sells
25    and the purchaser thereafter returns such  tangible  personal
26    property  and  the retailer refunds the selling price thereof
27    to the purchaser, such retailer shall  also  refund,  to  the
28    purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected  from the purchaser. When
29    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
30    to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount  of  the
31    tax  so  refunded  by him to the purchaser from any other use
32    tax which such retailer may be required to pay  or  remit  to
33    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
34    tax  to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department
 
SB144 Enrolled             -44-                LRB9101598PTpk
 1    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
 2    remitted the amount of such tax  to  the  Department,  he  is
 3    entitled  to  no deduction under this Act upon refunding such
 4    tax to the purchaser.
 5        Any retailer filing a return  under  this  Section  shall
 6    also  include  (for  the  purpose  of paying tax thereon) the
 7    total tax covered by such return upon the  selling  price  of
 8    tangible  personal property purchased by him at retail from a
 9    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
10    collected from the retailer  filing  such  return,  and  such
11    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
12    when filing such return.
13        If  experience  indicates  such action to be practicable,
14    the Department may prescribe and  furnish  a  combination  or
15    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
16    file   returns   hereunder  and  also  under  the  Retailers'
17    Occupation Tax Act, to furnish  all  the  return  information
18    required by both Acts on the one form.
19        Where  the retailer has more than one business registered
20    with the Department under separate  registration  under  this
21    Act,  such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
22    single return covering all such  registered  businesses,  but
23    shall   file   separate  returns  for  each  such  registered
24    business.
25        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
26    shall  pay  into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a

 5    6.25% general rate on the selling price of tangible  personal
 6    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a

 9        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
10    shall  pay  into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
11    special fund in the State Treasury, 20% of  the  net  revenue
12    realized  for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
13    on the selling price of  tangible  personal  property,  other
14    than  tangible  personal  property which is purchased outside
15    Illinois at retail from a retailer and  which  is  titled  or

18    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of  the  net
19    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
20    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
21    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
