10    Section, provision, or  part  thereof  of  this  Act  or  the

30    for the tax imposed under this Act or  the  Service  Use  Tax
31    Act,  as  the  case may be, based on the fair market value of
32    the property at the time the non-qualifying use  occurs.   No

 2    long as the property continues to be leased  by  the  lessor.
 3    When  the  property  is  no  longer  used  for  lease and the
 4    property reverts to the lessor, the property  is  subject  to
 5    the tax imposed by this Act upon the fair market value of the
 6    property on the date of the reversion.  The property will not
 7    be  considered  to revert to the lessor as long as the lessor
 8    holds the property in his or her lease inventory and does not
 9    otherwise  use  the  property,   except   for   demonstration
10    purposes.   In  addition, property held in the lessor's lease
11    inventory that is subsequently leased for a  period  of  less
12    than  one year will not be considered to revert to the lessor
13    if the  property  is  returned  to  lease  inventory  at  the

22    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
23    with  an  agency  of  this  State,  each retailer required or
24    authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act  shall  pay
25    to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
26    provided)  at the time when he is required to file his return

 2    basis,  as  provided  in this Section, such discount shall be
 3    taken with each such tax  remittance  instead  of  when  such
 4    retailer  files  his  periodic  return.   A retailer need not
 5    remit that part of any tax collected by  him  to  the  extent
 6    that  he  is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
 7    by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,  with  respect  to  the
 8    sale of the same property.
 9        Where  such  tangible  personal  property is sold under a
10    conditional sales contract, or under any other form  of  sale
11    wherein  the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
12    is extended beyond the close of  the  period  for  which  the
13    return  is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
14    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
15    are required to be registered with an agency of this  State),
16    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
17    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
18    received during such tax return period.
19        Except  as  provided  in  this  Section, on or before the
20    twentieth day of each calendar  month,  such  retailer  shall
21    file  a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such return
22    shall be filed on forms  prescribed  by  the  Department  and
23    shall   furnish   such  information  as  the  Department  may
24    reasonably require.
25        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
26    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar
27    quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of  the
28    calendar  month  following  the end of such calendar quarter.

 9        this Act;
10             5.  The amount of tax due;

13        Department may require.
14        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
15    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
16    the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown  to

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
32    divided by 12.
33        Before August 1 of  each  year  beginning  in  1993,  the

 5        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic

12        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
13    effectuate a program of electronic  funds  transfer  and  the
14    requirements of this Section.
15        If  the  taxpayer's  average monthly tax liability to the
16    Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
17    the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax  Act  was
18    $10,000  or  more  during  the  preceding 4 complete calendar
19    quarters, he shall file a return  with  the  Department  each
20    month  by  the 20th day of the month next following the month
21    during which such tax liability is incurred  and  shall  make
22    payments  to  the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
23    and last day of the month  during  which  such  liability  is
24    incurred.   If  the  month during which such tax liability is

26    be  in  an  amount  equal  to  1/4  of  the taxpayer's actual

28    not  to  exceed  1/4  of the average monthly liability of the

30    calendar  quarters  (excluding the month of highest liability
31    and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter  period).
32    If  the  month  during  which  such tax liability is incurred
33    begins on or after January 1, 1985, and prior to  January  1,
34    1987,  each  payment  shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of

 1    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
 2    taxpayer's liability for  the  same  calendar  month  of  the
 3    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
 4    is  incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior to

18    of  the  taxpayer's  liability for the same calendar month of
19    the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability

22    tax  liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.  Once
23    applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter  monthly
24    payments   to   the  Department  shall  continue  until  such

 1    foreseeable   future  will  fall  below  $10,000,  then  such
 2    taxpayer may petition  the  Department  for  change  in  such
 3    taxpayer's  reporting  status.    The Department shall change
 4    such taxpayer's reporting status unless it  finds  that  such
 5    change  is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term.
 6    If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at  the  time
 7    or  in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer
 8    shall be liable for penalties and interest on the  difference
 9    between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
10    monthly  payment  actually and timely paid, except insofar as
11    the taxpayer has previously made payments for that  month  to
12    the  Department  in excess of the minimum payments previously
13    due as provided in this Section.  The Department  shall  make
14    reasonable  rules  and  regulations  to  govern  the  quarter
15    monthly  payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
16    taxpayers who file on other 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
 
SB666 Engrossed             -22-               LRB9104001PTpk
 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
 
SB666 Engrossed             -23-               LRB9104001PTpk
 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
11    where,  in  the  same  transaction,  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, that seller for resale may report  the
16    transfer  of  all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
17    trailers involved in that transaction to  the  Department  on
18    the  same  uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
19    For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a  Class  2,
20    Class  3,  or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
21    the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal  watercraft,
22    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
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 2 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
 
SB666 Engrossed             -24-               LRB9104001PTpk
 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 and 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 2 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 date of delivery of the item
29    that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer  at  any
30    time   sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.   The
31    transaction reporting return and tax remittance or  proof  of
32    exemption  from  the  tax  that is imposed by this Act may be
33    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
34    which, or State officer  with  whom,  the  tangible  personal
 
SB666 Engrossed             -25-               LRB9104001PTpk
 1    property   must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling  or
 2    registration is required) if the Department and  such  agency
 3    or  State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
 4    the processing of 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  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  tax  or  proof of exemption made to the Department before
29    the retailer is willing to take these actions and  such  user
30    has  not  paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
31    to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon  the
32    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
 
SB666 Engrossed             -26-               LRB9104001PTpk
 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        Where  a  retailer  collects  the tax with respect to the
12    selling price of tangible personal property  which  he  sells
13    and  the  purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
14    property and the retailer refunds the selling  price  thereof
15    to  the  purchaser,  such  retailer shall also refund, to the
16    purchaser, the tax so  collected  from  the  purchaser.  When
17    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
18    to  the  purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
19    tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from  any  other  use
20    tax  which  such  retailer may be required to pay or remit to
21    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
22    tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the  Department
23    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
24    remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the Department, he is
25    entitled to no deduction under this Act upon  refunding  such
26    tax to the purchaser.
27        Any  retailer  filing  a  return under this Section shall
28    also include (for the purpose  of  paying  tax  thereon)  the
29    total  tax  covered  by such return upon the selling price of
30    tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from  a
31    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
32    collected  from  the  retailer  filing  such return, and such
33    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
34    when filing such return.

 1        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
 2    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
 3    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
 4    file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under   the   Retailers'
 5    Occupation  Tax  Act,  to  furnish all the return information
 6    required by both Acts on the one form.
 7        Where the retailer has more than one business  registered
 8    with  the  Department  under separate registration under this
 9    Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as  a
10    single  return  covering  all such registered businesses, but
11    shall  file  separate  returns  for  each   such   registered
12    business.
13        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
14    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund,  a
15    special  fund  in the State Treasury which is hereby created,
16    the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the  1%
17    tax  on  sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be
18    consumed off the  premises  where  it  is  sold  (other  than
19    alcoholic  beverages,  soft  drinks  and  food which has been
20    prepared for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription  and
21    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
22    insulin,  urine  testing materials, syringes and needles used
23    by diabetics.
24        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
25    shall  pay  into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
26    of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from  the
27    6.25%  general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
28    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
29    retailer and which is titled or registered by  an  agency  of
30    this State's government.
31        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
32    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund,  a
33    special  fund  in  the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue
34    realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general  rate

 2    than tangible personal property which  is  purchased  outside
 3    Illinois  at  retail  from  a retailer and which is titled or
 4    registered by an agency of this State's government.
 5        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
 6    shall  pay  into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
 7    revenue realized for  the  preceding  month  from  the  6.25%
 8    general  rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible personal
 9    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
10    retailer and which is titled or registered by  an  agency  of
11    this State's government.
12        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
13    pursuant  to  this  Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
14    the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,  1989,  2.2%
15    and  on  and  after  July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid

17    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
18    as  the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
19    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
20    to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section  9
21    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
22    Section  9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
23    hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of  2.2%
24    or  3.8%,  as  the  case  may be, of moneys being hereinafter
25    called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the  amount  transferred
26    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
27    Reform  Fund  shall  be less than the Annual Specified Amount

30    paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys  received

32    provided, that if on the last business day of any  month  the

15    hospital  that  has  been  issued  an  active  tax  exemption
16    identification  number  by the Department under Section 1g of
17    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the equipment is leased
18    in a manner that does not qualify for this  exemption  or  is
19    used  in  any  other  non-exempt  manner, the lessor shall be
20    liable for the tax imposed under this Act or the Use Tax Act,

28    lessee shall have a legal right to claim  a  refund  of  that
29    amount  from  the  lessor.   If,  however, that amount is not

32    exempt from the provisions of Section 3-75.

 3    has been issued an active tax exemption identification number
 4    by   the  Department  under  Section  1g  of  the  Retailers'
 5    Occupation Tax Act.  If the property is leased  in  a  manner
 6    that  does  not  qualify for this exemption or is used in any
 7    other non-exempt manner, the lessor shall be liable  for  the
 8    tax  imposed  under  this Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case
 9    may be, based on the fair market value of the property at the
10    time the non-qualifying use occurs.  No lessor shall  collect
11    or  attempt  to  collect  an amount (however designated) that
12    purports to reimburse that lessor for the tax imposed by this
13    Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case may be, if  the  tax  has
14    not been paid by the lessor.  If a lessor improperly collects
15    any  such  amount  from  the  lessee, the lessee shall have a
16    legal right to claim a refund of that amount from the lessor.
17    If, however, that amount is not refunded to  the  lessee  for
18    any  reason,  the  lessor is liable to pay that amount to the
19    Department.  This paragraph is exempt from the provisions  of
20    Section 3-75.

14    long as the property continues to be leased  by  the  lessor.
15    When  the  property  is  no  longer  used  for  lease and the
16    property reverts to the lessor, the property  is  subject  to
17    the tax imposed by this Act upon the fair market value of the
18    property on the date of the reversion.  The property will not
19    be  considered  to revert to the lessor as long as the lessor
20    holds the property in his or her lease inventory and does not
21    otherwise  use  the  property,   except   for   demonstration
22    purposes.   In  addition, property held in the lessor's lease
23    inventory that is subsequently leased for a  period  of  less
24    than  one year will not be considered to revert to the lessor
25    if the  property  is  returned  to  lease  inventory  at  the

12    kind of tangible  personal  property  shall  file,  with  the
13    Department,  upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
14    Department, a separate return for each such item of  tangible
15    personal  property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except that
16    where, in the  same  transaction,  a  retailer  of  aircraft,
17    watercraft,  motor  vehicles  or trailers transfers more than
18    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
19    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor  vehicle  retailer  or  trailer

26    Section  3-2  of  the  Boat  Registration  and  Safety Act, a
27    personal watercraft, or any boat  equipped  with  an  inboard

12    if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this  Act  allows
13    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
14    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
15    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer

23    information as the Department may reasonably require.
24        The   transaction   reporting   return  in  the  case  of
25    watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of  the
26    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
27    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
28    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
29    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
30    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows

 1    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
 2    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
 3    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
 4    place  and  date  of the sale, a sufficient identification of
 5    the  property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as   the
 6    Department may reasonably require.
 7        Such  transaction  reporting  return  shall  be filed not
 8    later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
 9    is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at  any  time
10    sooner  than  that  if  he chooses to do so.  The transaction
11    reporting return and tax remittance  or  proof  of  exemption
12    from   the  Illinois  use  tax  may  be  transmitted  to  the
13    Department by way of the State agency with  which,  or  State
14    officer  with  whom  the  tangible  personal property must be
15    titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
16    if the Department and such agency or State officer  determine
17    that   this   procedure   will  expedite  the  processing  of
18    applications for title or registration.
19        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
20    shall remit the proper amount of tax  due  (or  shall  submit
21    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
22    the  case),  to  the  Department or its agents, whereupon the
23    Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name,  a  use  tax
24    receipt  (or  a certificate of exemption if the Department is
25    satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which  such
26    purchaser  may  submit  to  the  agency  with which, or State
27    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
28    personal   property   that   is   involved   (if  titling  or
29    registration is required)  in  support  of  such  purchaser's
30    application  for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
31    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
32        No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under  this
33    Act  precludes  a  user,  who  has paid the proper tax to the
34    retailer, from obtaining his certificate of  title  or  other
 
SB666 Engrossed             -60-               LRB9104001PTpk
 1    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
 2    is  required)  upon  satisfying the Department that such user
 3    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
 4    Department shall adopt appropriate rules  to  carry  out  the
 5    mandate of this paragraph.
 6        If  the  user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
 7    wants the transaction reporting return filed and the  payment
 8    of  the  tax  or  proof  of  exemption made to the Department
 9    before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
10    user has not paid the tax to  the  retailer,  such  user  may
11    certify  to  the  fact  of such delay by the retailer and may
12    (upon the Department being satisfied of  the  truth  of  such
13    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
14    transaction  reporting  return  and the remittance for tax or
15    proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain  his
16    tax  receipt  or  exemption determination, in which event the
17    transaction reporting return and tax  remittance  (if  a  tax
18    payment  was required) shall be credited by the Department to
19    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
20    without the 2.1% or  1.75%  discount  provided  for  in  this
21    Section  being  allowed.  When the user pays the tax directly
22    to the Department, he shall pay the tax in  the  same  amount
23    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
24    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
25        Refunds  made  by  the seller during the preceding return
26    period  to  purchasers,  on  account  of  tangible   personal
27    property  returned  to  the  seller,  shall  be  allowed as a
28    deduction under subdivision 5 of  his  monthly  or  quarterly
29    return,   as  the  case  may  be,  in  case  the  seller  had
30    theretofore included the  receipts  from  the  sale  of  such
31    tangible  personal  property in a return filed by him and had
32    paid the tax  imposed  by  this  Act  with  respect  to  such
33    receipts.
34        Where  the  seller  is a corporation, the return filed on
 
SB666 Engrossed             -61-               LRB9104001PTpk
 1    behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the  president,
 2    vice-president,  secretary  or  treasurer  or by the properly
 3    accredited agent of such corporation.
 4        Where the seller is  a  limited  liability  company,  the
 5    return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
 6    be  signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
 7    of the limited liability company.
 8        Except as provided in this Section, the  retailer  filing
 9    the  return  under  this Section shall, at the time of filing
10    such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax  imposed
11    by  this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990
12    and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or  $5  per  calendar
13    year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
14    retailer  for  the  expenses  incurred  in  keeping  records,
15    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
16    data  to  the  Department  on  request.   Any prepayment made
17    pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included  in  the
18    amount  on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed.  In
19    the case of retailers  who  report  and  pay  the  tax  on  a
20    transaction   by  transaction  basis,  as  provided  in  this
21    Section, such discount shall be  taken  with  each  such  tax
22    remittance  instead  of when such retailer files his periodic
23    return.
24        If the taxpayer's average monthly tax  liability  to  the
25    Department  under  this  Act,  the  Use  Tax Act, the Service
26    Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use  Tax  Act,  excluding
27    any  liability  for  prepaid  sales  tax  to  be  remitted in
28    accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000  or  more
29    during  the  preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall
30    file a return with the Department each month by the 20th  day
31    of  the  month next following the month during which such tax
32    liability  is  incurred  and  shall  make  payments  to   the
33    Department  on  or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of
34    the month during which such liability is  incurred.   If  the
 
SB666 Engrossed             -62-               LRB9104001PTpk
 1    month during which such tax liability is incurred began prior
 2    to  January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount equal
 3    to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an
 4    amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average
 5    monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department  for  the
 6    preceding  4  complete calendar quarters (excluding the month
 7    of highest liability and the month  of  lowest  liability  in
 8    such  4  quarter period).  If the month during which such tax
 9    liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985  and
10    prior  to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
11    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
12    month  or  27.5%  of  the  taxpayer's  liability for the same
13    calendar month of the preceding year.  If  the  month  during
14    which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred  begins on or after
15    January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1,  1988,  each  payment
16    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
17    liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
18    for  the  same  calendar month of the preceding year.  If the
19    month during which such tax liability is incurred  begins  on
20    or  after  January  1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
21    begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be  in
22    an  amount  equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability
23    for the month or 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, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996,  each  payment
27    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
28    liability  for  the  month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
29    for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100%  of
30    the  taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the  quarter monthly
31    reporting  period.   The  amount  of  such  quarter   monthly
32    payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
33    the  taxpayer's  return for that month.  Once applicable, the
34    requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to  the
 
SB666 Engrossed             -63-               LRB9104001PTpk
 1    Department   by  taxpayers  having  an  average  monthly  tax
 2    liability of $10,000 or more  as  determined  in  the  manner
 3    provided  above  shall continue until such taxpayer's average
 4    monthly liability to the Department during  the  preceding  4
 5    complete  calendar  quarters  (excluding the month of highest
 6    liability and the month of lowest  liability)  is  less  than
 7    $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
 8    the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
 9    preceding  complete  calendar  quarter  period  is  less than
10    $10,000.  However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that
11    a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has  occurred
12    which  causes  the  taxpayer  to  anticipate that his average
13    monthly tax liability for the reasonably  foreseeable  future
14    will  fall below $10,000, then such taxpayer may petition the
15    Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting  status.
16    The  Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
17    unless it finds that such change is seasonal  in  nature  and
18    not  likely  to  be  long  term.  If any such quarter monthly
19    payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required  by
20    this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
21    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
22    as  a  payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
23    actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer  has
24    previously  made payments for that month to the Department in
25    excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided  in
26    this  Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
27    regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount  and
28    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
29    than a calendar monthly basis.
30        Without  regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
31    quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
32    is required by Section 2d of this Act to  collect  and  remit
33    prepaid  taxes  and has collected prepaid taxes which average
34    in excess  of  $25,000  per  month  during  the  preceding  2
 
SB666 Engrossed             -64-               LRB9104001PTpk
 1    complete  calendar  quarters,  shall  file  a return with the
 2    Department as required by Section 2f and shall make  payments
 3    to  the  Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
 4    day of the month during which such liability is incurred.  If
 5    the month during which such tax liability is  incurred  began
 6    prior  to  the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
 7    each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
 8    taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d.  If  the  month
 9    during  which  such  tax  liability  is incurred begins on or
10    after January 1, 1986, each payment shall  be  in  an  amount
11    equal  to  22.5%  of  the taxpayer's actual liability for the
12    month or 27.5% of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same
13    calendar  month of the preceding calendar year.  If the month
14    during which such tax liability  is  incurred  begins  on  or
15    after  January  1,  1987,  each payment shall be in an amount
16    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
17    month  or  26.25%  of  the  taxpayer's liability for the same
18    calendar month of the preceding year.   The  amount  of  such
19    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
20    tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that  month  filed
21    under  this  Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.  Once
22    applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter  monthly
23    payments  to  the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
24    continue until such taxpayer's average  monthly  prepaid  tax
25    collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
26    is  $25,000  or less.  If any such quarter monthly payment is
27    not paid at the time or in the amount required, the  taxpayer
28    shall   be   liable   for  penalties  and  interest  on  such
29    difference, except insofar as  the  taxpayer  has  previously
30    made  payments  for  that  month  in  excess  of  the minimum
31    payments previously due.
32        If any payment provided for in this Section  exceeds  the
33    taxpayer's  liabilities  under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
34    Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use  Tax  Act,  as
 
SB666 Engrossed             -65-               LRB9104001PTpk
 1    shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
 2    requested  by  the  taxpayer,  issue to the taxpayer a credit
 3    memorandum no later than 30 days after the date  of  payment.
 4    The  credit  evidenced  by  such  credit  memorandum  may  be
 5    assigned  by  the  taxpayer  to a similar taxpayer under this
 6    Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act  or  the
 7    Service  Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
 8    regulations to be prescribed by the Department.  If  no  such
 9    request  is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
10    against tax liability subsequently  to  be  remitted  to  the
11    Department  under  this  Act,  the  Use  Tax Act, the Service
12    Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in  accordance
13    with  reasonable  rules  and  regulations  prescribed  by the
14    Department.  If the Department subsequently  determined  that
15    all  or  any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
16    the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
17    shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the  difference  between
18    the  credit  taken  and  that actually due, and that taxpayer
19    shall  be  liable  for  penalties  and   interest   on   such
20    difference.
21        If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
22    Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
23    to  the  Department  under  this  Act for the month which the
24    taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall  issue  the
25    taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
26        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
27    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special  fund
28    in  the  State  treasury  which  is  hereby  created, the net
29    revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%  tax  on
30    sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be consumed
31    off the premises where  it  is  sold  (other  than  alcoholic
32    beverages,  soft  drinks and food which has been prepared for
33    immediate consumption) and prescription  and  nonprescription
34    medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and  insulin,  urine

 1    testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
 2        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 3    shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District  Fund,  a
 4    special  fund  in the State treasury which is hereby created,
 5    4% of the net revenue realized for the preceding  month  from
 6    the 6.25% general rate.
 7        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 8    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of  the  net
 9    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
10    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
11    property.
12        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
13    pursuant   to  this  Act  and  the  moneys  received  by  the
14    Department from the 80% of the 8.25% occupation  tax  imposed
15    in  Section  10  of  the  Qualified  Technological  Equipment
16    Leasing  Occupation  and Use Tax Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall
17    be paid into the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,
18    1989, 2.2% and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof  shall
19    be paid into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that
20    if in any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or
21    3.8%,  as  the  case  may  be,  of the moneys received by the
22    Department and required to be paid into  the  Build  Illinois
23    Fund  pursuant  to  this  Act,  Section 9 of the Use Tax Act,
24    Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section  9  of  the
25    Service  Occupation  Tax  Act,  such  Acts  being hereinafter
26    called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,  as
27    the  case may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax
28    Act Amount", and (2) the  amount  transferred  to  the  Build
29    Illinois  Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund
30    shall  be  less  than  the  Annual   Specified   Amount   (as
31    hereinafter defined), an amount equal to the difference shall
32    be  immediately  paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other
33    moneys received by the Department pursuant to the  Tax  Acts;
34    the  "Annual  Specified  Amount"  means the amounts specified

12    defined  in Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act) or the
13    Tax Act Amount, whichever is greater, for  fiscal  year  1994
14    and  each  fiscal year thereafter; and further provided, that
15    if on the last business day of any month the sum of  (1)  the
16    Tax  Act  Amount  required  to  be  deposited  into the Build
17    Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during  such
18    month  and  (2)  the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
19    Fund from the State and Local Sales  Tax  Reform  Fund  shall
20    have  been  less than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an
21    amount equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into
22    the Build Illinois Fund from other  moneys  received  by  the
23    Department  pursuant  to the Tax Acts; and, further provided,
24    that in no  event  shall  the  payments  required  under  the
25    preceding proviso result in aggregate payments into the Build
26    Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year
27    in  excess  of  the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii)
28    the Annual  Specified  Amount  for  such  fiscal  year.   The
29    amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under clause (b)
30    of the first sentence in this paragraph shall be payable only
31    until such time as the aggregate amount on deposit under each
32    trust   indenture   securing  Bonds  issued  and  outstanding
33    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking
34    into account any future investment income, to fully  provide,
 
SB666 Engrossed             -68-               LRB9104001PTpk
 1    in  accordance  with such indenture, for the defeasance of or

 4    Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees and costs
 5    payable  with  respect  thereto,  all  as  certified  by  the
 6    Director of the  Bureau  of  the  Budget.   If  on  the  last
 7    business  day  of  any  month  in which Bonds are outstanding
 8    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond  Act,  the  aggregate  of
 9    moneys  deposited  in  the Build Illinois Bond Account in the
10    Build Illinois Fund in such month  shall  be  less  than  the
11    amount  required  to  be  transferred  in such month from the
12    Build Illinois  Bond  Account  to  the  Build  Illinois  Bond
13    Retirement  and  Interest  Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
14    Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to  such  deficiency
15    shall  be  immediately paid from other moneys received by the
16    Department pursuant to the Tax Acts  to  the  Build  Illinois
17    Fund;  provided,  however, that any amounts paid to the Build
18    Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant  to  this  sentence
19    shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
20    of  the first sentence of this paragraph and shall reduce the
21    amount otherwise payable for such  fiscal  year  pursuant  to
22    that  clause  (b).   The  moneys  received  by the Department
23    pursuant to this Act and required to be  deposited  into  the
24    Build  Illinois  Fund  are  subject  to the pledge, claim and
25    charge set forth in Section 12 of  the  Build  Illinois  Bond

 6    Department  on a form prescribed by the Department within not
 7    less than 60 days after  receipt  of  the  notice  an  annual
 8    information  return for the tax year specified in the notice.
 9    Such  annual  return  to  the  Department  shall  include   a
10    statement  of  gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last
11    Federal income tax return.  If  the  total  receipts  of  the
12    business  as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
13    agree with the gross receipts reported to the  Department  of
14    Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach to his
15    annual  return  a  schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
16    amounts and the reasons for the difference.   The  retailer's
17    annual  return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
18    of goods sold by the retailer during the year covered by such
19    return, opening and closing inventories  of  such  goods  for
20    such year, costs of goods used from stock or taken from stock
21    and  given  away  by  the  retailer during such year, payroll
22    information of the retailer's business during such  year  and
23    any  additional  reasonable  information which the Department
24    deems would be helpful in determining  the  accuracy  of  the
25    monthly,  quarterly  or annual returns filed by such retailer
26    as provided for in this Section.
27        If the annual information return required by this Section
28    is not filed when and as  required,  the  taxpayer  shall  be
29    liable as follows:
30             (i)  Until  January  1,  1994, the taxpayer shall be
31        liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of  the  tax  due
32        from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
33        covered  by  the annual return for each month or fraction
34        of a month until such return is filed  as  required,  the
 
SB666 Engrossed             -72-               LRB9104001PTpk
 1        penalty  to  be assessed and collected in the same manner
 2        as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
 3             (ii)  On and after January  1,  1994,  the  taxpayer
 4        shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
 5        of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
 6        The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
 7    ranking  manager  shall sign the annual return to certify the
 8    accuracy of the information contained therein.    Any  person
 9    who  willfully  signs  the  annual return containing false or
10    inaccurate  information  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury   and
11    punished  accordingly.   The annual return form prescribed by
12    the Department  shall  include  a  warning  that  the  person
13    signing the return may be liable for perjury.
14        The  provisions  of this Section concerning the filing of
15    an annual information return do not apply to a  retailer  who
16    is  not required to file an income tax return with the United
17    States Government.
18        As soon as possible after the first day  of  each  month,
19    upon   certification   of  the  Department  of  Revenue,  the
20    Comptroller shall order transferred and the  Treasurer  shall
21    transfer  from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
22    Fund an amount equal to  1.7%  of  80%  of  the  net  revenue
23    realized  under  this  Act  for  the  second preceding month;
24    except that this transfer shall not be made  for  the  months
25    February through June, 1992.
26        Net  revenue  realized  for  a month shall be the revenue
27    collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the  amount
28    paid  out  during  that  month  as  refunds  to taxpayers for
29    overpayment of liability.
30        For greater simplicity of administration,  manufacturers,
31    importers  and  wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
32    in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
33    assume the responsibility for accounting and  paying  to  the
34    Department  all  tax  accruing under this Act with respect to

 1    such sales, if the retailers who are  affected  do  not  make
 2    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
 3        Any  person  who  promotes,  organizes,  provides  retail
 4    selling  space  for concessionaires or other types of sellers
 5    at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
 6    local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar  exhibitions

 9    to  file  a  report with the Department providing the name of
10    the merchant's business, the name of the  person  or  persons
11    engaged  in  merchant's  business,  the permanent address and
12    Illinois Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of  the
13    merchant,  the  dates  and  location  of  the event and other
14    reasonable information that the Department may require.   The
15    report must be filed not later than the 20th day of the month
16    next  following  the month during which the event with retail
17    sales was held.  Any  person  who  fails  to  file  a  report
18    required  by  this  Section commits a business offense and is
19    subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
20        Any person engaged in the business  of  selling  tangible
21    personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
22    of  seller  at  the  Illinois  State  Fair, county fairs, art
23    shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
24    transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
25    Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily  report
26    of  the  amount of such sales to the Department and to make a
27    daily payment of the full amount of tax due.  The  Department
28    shall  impose  this requirement when it finds that there is a
29    significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at  such  an
30    exhibition  or  event.   Such  a  finding  shall  be based on
31    evidence that a  substantial  number  of  concessionaires  or
32    other  sellers  who  are  not  residents  of Illinois will be
33    engaging  in  the  business  of  selling  tangible   personal
34    property  at  retail  at  the  exhibition  or event, or other

 1    evidence of a significant risk of  loss  of  revenue  to  the
 2    State.  The Department shall notify concessionaires and other
 3    sellers  affected  by the imposition of this requirement.  In
 4    the  absence  of  notification   by   the   Department,   the
 5    concessionaires and other sellers shall file their returns as
 6    otherwise required in this Section.

14    Use  Tax Act, may obtain a refund of all tax paid to a seller
15    under  this  Act  or  any  other  tax  administered  by   the

17    under a bona fide sale and  leaseback  transaction  (to  such
18    purchaser)  within 90 days of the first functional use of the
19    property.  The purchaser shall request the  refund  from  the
