14        Section  4.   The  Illinois  Income Tax Act is amended by
15    changing Section 204 and adding Section 212 as follows:

16        (35 ILCS 5/204) (from Ch. 120, par. 2-204)
17        Sec. 204.  Standard Exemption.
18        (a)  Allowance of  exemption.  In  computing  net  income
19    under  this  Act,  there shall be allowed as an exemption the
20    sum of the amounts determined under subsections (b), (c)  and
21    (d),  multiplied  by a fraction the numerator of which is the
22    amount of the taxpayer's base income allocable to this  State
23    for  the  taxable  year  and  the denominator of which is the
24    taxpayer's total base income for the taxable year.
25        (b)  Basic amount. For the purpose of subsection  (a)  of
26    this Section, except as provided by subsection (a) of Section
27    205  and in this subsection, each taxpayer shall be allowed a
28    basic amount of $1000, except that for individuals the  basic
29    amount shall be:
30             (1)  for  taxable  years ending on or after December
31        31, 1998 and prior to December 31, 1999, $1,300;
32             (2)  for taxable years ending on or  after  December

 2             (3)  for  taxable  years ending on or after December
 3        31, 2000, $3,000 $2,000.
 4    For taxable years ending on or after  December  31,  1992,  a
 5    taxpayer  whose Illinois base income exceeds the basic amount
 6    and who is claimed as a dependent  on  another  person's  tax
 7    return  under  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall not be
 8    allowed any basic amount under this subsection.
 9        (c)  Additional amount for individuals. In the case of an
10    individual taxpayer, there shall be allowed for  the  purpose
11    of  subsection  (a), in addition to the basic amount provided
12    by subsection (b), an additional exemption equal to the basic
13    amount for each exemption in excess of one allowable to  such
14    individual taxpayer for the taxable year under Section 151 of
15    the Internal Revenue Code.
16        (d)  Additional exemptions for an individual taxpayer and
17    his or her spouse.  In the case of an individual taxpayer and

23             $1,000  for  the  taxpayer if he or she has attained
24             the age of 65 before the end of the taxable year.
25                  (B)  For spouse when  a  joint  return  is  not
26             filed.   An  additional  exemption of $1,000 for the
27             spouse of the taxpayer if a joint return is not made
28             by the taxpayer and his spouse, and  if  the  spouse
29             has  attained  the  age of 65 before the end of such
30             taxable year, and, for the calendar  year  in  which
31             the  taxable  year  of  the  taxpayer begins, has no
32             gross income and is not  the  dependent  of  another
33             taxpayer.

 2                  (A)  For taxpayer.  An additional exemption  of
 3             $1,000 for the taxpayer if he or she is blind at the
 4             end of the taxable year.
 5                  (B)  For  spouse  when  a  joint  return is not
 6             filed.  An additional exemption of  $1,000  for  the
 7             spouse  of the taxpayer if a separate return is made
 8             by the taxpayer, and if the spouse is blind and, for
 9             the calendar year in which the taxable year  of  the
10             taxpayer  begins, has no gross income and is not the
11             dependent of another taxpayer. For purposes of  this
12             paragraph,  the  determination of whether the spouse
13             is blind shall be made as of the end of the  taxable
14             year of the taxpayer; except that if the spouse dies
15             during such taxable year such determination shall be
16             made as of the time of such death.
17                  (C)  Blindness  defined.   For purposes of this
18             subsection, an individual is blind only  if  his  or
19             her  central visual acuity does not exceed 20/200 in
20             the better eye with correcting lenses, or if his  or
21             her  visual  acuity  is  greater  than 20/200 but is
22             accompanied by a limitation in the fields of  vision
23             such  that  the widest diameter of the visual fields
24             subtends an angle no greater than 20 degrees.
25        (e)  Cross reference. See Article 3  for  the  manner  of
26    determining base income allocable to this State.
27        (f)  Application  of  Section  250.  Section 250 does not
28    apply to the amendments to this Section made  by  Public  Act
29    90-613 or this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly.

31        (35 ILCS 5/212 new)
32        Sec. 212.  Earned income tax credit.
33        (a)  For  taxable  years  ending on or after December 31,
 
                            -5-            LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    2000, with respect to the federal earned  income  tax  credit
 2    allowed  for the taxable year under Section 32 of the federal
 3    Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 32, each individual taxpayer
 4    is  entitled  to  a  credit  against  the  tax   imposed   by
 5    subsections  (a) and (b) of Section 201 in an amount equal to
 6    20% of the federal credit.  For a non resident  or  part-year
 7    resident,  the  amount of the credit under this Section shall
 8    be reduced by multiplying the amount of  the  credit  by  the
 9    percentage of income allocated to this State.
10        (b)  If   the  amount  of  the  credit  exceeds  the  tax
11    liability for the year,  then  the  excess  credit  shall  be
12    refunded  to  the taxpayer.  The amount of a refund shall not
13    be included in the taxpayer's income  or  resources  for  the
14    purposes  of  determining eligibility or benefit level in any
15    means-tested benefit program administered by  a  governmental
16    entity unless required by federal law.
17        (c)  The  Department  shall  calculate  the amount of the
18    earned income credit on behalf of an individual  taxpayer  if
19    the  taxpayer  (i) requests assistance on the prescribed form
20    and (ii) submits the required information.

21        Section 5.  The  Use  Tax  Act  is  amended  by  changing
22    Sections 3-10 and 9 as follows:

23        (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
24        Sec.  3-10.   Rate  of tax.  Unless otherwise provided in
25    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
26    6.25%  of  either the selling price or the fair market value,
27    if any, of the tangible  personal  property.   In  all  cases
28    where  property  functionally used or consumed is the same as
29    the property that was purchased at retail, then  the  tax  is
30    imposed  on  the selling price of the property.  In all cases
31    where property functionally used or consumed is a  by-product
32    or  waste  product  that  has  been refined, manufactured, or
 
                            -6-            LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    produced from property purchased at retail, then the  tax  is
 2    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
 3    specific  property  so  used  in this State or on the selling
 4    price of the property purchased at retail.  For  purposes  of
 5    this  Section  "fair  market  value" means the price at which
 6    property would change hands between a  willing  buyer  and  a
 7    willing  seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
 8    sell and both having reasonable  knowledge  of  the  relevant
 9    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
10    sales   by   the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property  as  that
11    functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such  sales
12    by  the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases of
13    property of like kind and character in Illinois.
14        With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1  of
15    the  Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
16    3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at  the  rate  of
17    1.25%.    If,  however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
18    fuel and gasohol under the Motor  Fuel  Tax  Law  during  the
19    period  from  October  1, 2002 through September 30, 2003 are
20    not at least 15% more than the aggregate  tax  revenues  from
21    motor  fuel and gasohol under that Law during the period from
22    October 1, 1999 through September 30,  2000,  then  beginning
23    January  1, 2004 the tax is imposed on motor fuel and gasohol
24    at the 6.25% general rate.
25        With respect to gasohol, the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act
26    applies  to  70%  of  the  proceeds of sales made on or after
27    January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003, and to 100% of  the
28    proceeds of sales made thereafter.
29        With  respect to food for human consumption that is to be
30    consumed off the  premises  where  it  is  sold  (other  than
31    alcoholic  beverages,  soft  drinks,  and  food that has been
32    prepared for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription  and
33    nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,   medical   appliances,
34    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
 
                            -7-            LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    it  usable  by  a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
 2    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
 3    use, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For  the  purposes
 4    of  this  Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete,
 5    finished,   ready-to-use,   non-alcoholic   drink,    whether
 6    carbonated  or  not, including but not limited to soda water,
 7    cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
 8    other preparations commonly known as soft drinks of  whatever
 9    kind  or  description  that  are  contained  in any closed or
10    sealed bottle, can, carton, or container, regardless of size.
11    "Soft drinks" does not include  coffee,  tea,  non-carbonated
12    water,  infant  formula,  milk or milk products as defined in
13    the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
14    containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
15        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
16    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
17    where  it  is  sold" includes all food sold through a vending
18    machine, except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that  are
19    dispensed  hot  from  a  vending  machine,  regardless of the
20    location of the vending machine.
21        If the property  that  is  purchased  at  retail  from  a
22    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside
23    Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
24    taxable  under this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax
25    is computed shall be reduced by an amount that  represents  a
26    reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
27    out-of-state use.

30        (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
31        Sec.  9.  Except  as  to  motor   vehicles,   watercraft,
32    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
33    with an agency of  this  State,  each  retailer  required  or
 
                            -8-            LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    authorized  to  collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
 2    to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
 3    provided) at the time when he is required to file his  return
 4    for  the  period  during which such tax was collected, less a
 5    discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75%  on  and
 6    after  January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
 7    greater, which is  allowed  to  reimburse  the  retailer  for
 8    expenses  incurred  in  collecting  the tax, keeping records,
 9    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
10    data to the Department on request.  In the case of  retailers
11    who  report  and  pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
12    basis, as provided in this Section, such  discount  shall  be
13    taken  with  each  such  tax  remittance instead of when such
14    retailer files his periodic  return.   A  retailer  need  not
15    remit  that  part  of  any tax collected by him to the extent
16    that he is required to remit and does remit the  tax  imposed
17    by  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax Act, with respect to the
18    sale of the same property.
19        Where such tangible personal property  is  sold  under  a
20    conditional  sales  contract, or under any other form of sale
21    wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part  thereof,
22    is  extended  beyond  the  close  of the period for which the
23    return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax  (except
24    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
25    are  required to be registered with an agency of this State),
26    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
27    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
28    received during such tax return period.
29        Except as provided in this  Section,  on  or  before  the
30    twentieth  day  of  each  calendar month, such retailer shall
31    file a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such  return
32    shall  be  filed  on  forms  prescribed by the Department and
33    shall  furnish  such  information  as  the   Department   may
34    reasonably require.
 
                            -9-            LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
 2    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
 3    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
 4    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
 5    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
 6    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
 7    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
 8    stating:
 9             1.  The name of the seller;
10             2.  The  address  of the principal place of business
11        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
12        personal property at retail in this State;
13             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
14        him during the preceding calendar  month  from  sales  of
15        tangible  personal  property by him during such preceding
16        calendar month, including receipts from charge  and  time
17        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
18             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
19        this Act;
20             5.  The amount of tax due;
21             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
22             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
23        Department may require.
24        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
25    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
26    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
27    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
28        Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an  average
29    monthly  tax  liability  of  $150,000  or more shall make all
30    payments required by rules of the  Department  by  electronic
31    funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
32    an  average  monthly  tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
33    make all payments required by  rules  of  the  Department  by
34    electronic  funds  transfer.  Beginning  October  1,  1995, a
 
                            -10-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
 2    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
 3    Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
 4    2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of  $200,000
 5    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
 6    Department by electronic funds transfer.   The  term  "annual
 7    tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
 8    under   this  Act,  and  under  all  other  State  and  local
 9    occupation and use tax laws administered by  the  Department,
10    for   the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year.  The  term
11    "average  monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of   the
12    taxpayer's  liabilities  under  this Act, and under all other
13    State and local occupation and use tax laws  administered  by
14    the  Department,  for the immediately preceding calendar year
15    divided by 12.
16        Before August 1 of  each  year  beginning  in  1993,  the
17    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
18    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
19    to  make  payments  by  electronic  funds transfer shall make
20    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
21    1.
22        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic
23    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
24    with the permission of the Department.
25        All  taxpayers  required  to  make  payment by electronic
26    funds transfer and any taxpayers  authorized  to  voluntarily
27    make  payments  by electronic funds transfer shall make those
28    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
29        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
30    effectuate a program of electronic  funds  transfer  and  the
31    requirements of this Section.
32        Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
33    tax   liability   to  the  Department  under  this  Act,  the
34    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,  the  Service  Occupation  Tax
 
                            -11-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    Act,  the  Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the
 2    preceding 4 complete  calendar  quarters,  he  shall  file  a
 3    return  with the Department each month by the 20th day of the
 4    month  next  following  the  month  during  which  such   tax
 5    liability   is  incurred  and  shall  make  payments  to  the
 6    Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last  day  of
 7    the  month  during  which  such liability is incurred. On and
 8    after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly  tax
 9    liability  to  the  Department under this Act, the Retailers'
10    Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act,  and  the
11    Service  Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the preceding
12    4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
13    Department each month by the  20th  day  of  the  month  next
14    following  the  month  during  which  such  tax  liability is
15    incurred and shall make  payment  to  the  Department  on  or
16    before  the  7th,  15th,  22nd  and  last day of or the month
17    during which such liability is incurred. If the month  during
18    which  such  tax liability is incurred began prior to January
19    1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount equal to  1/4  of
20    the  taxpayer's  actual  liability for the month or an amount
21    set by the Department  not  to  exceed  1/4  of  the  average
22    monthly  liability  of the taxpayer to the Department for the
23    preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding  the  month
24    of  highest  liability  and  the month of lowest liability in
25    such 4 quarter period).  If the month during which  such  tax
26    liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and
27    prior  to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
28    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
29    month  or  27.5%  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, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988,  each  payment
33    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
34    liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
 
                            -12-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    for  the  same  calendar month of the preceding year.  If the
 2    month during which such tax liability is incurred  begins  on
 3    or  after  January  1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
 4    begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be  in
 5    an  amount  equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability
 6    for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
 7    calendar month of the preceding year.  If  the  month  during
 8    which  such  tax  liability  is  incurred  begins on or after
 9    January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996,  each  payment
10    shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
11    liability  for  the  month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
12    for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100%  of
13    the  taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the  quarter monthly
14    reporting  period.   The  amount  of  such  quarter   monthly
15    payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
16    the  taxpayer's  return  for  that  month.  Before October 1,
17    2000, once applicable,  the  requirement  of  the  making  of
18    quarter  monthly  payments  to  the Department shall continue
19    until  such  taxpayer's  average  monthly  liability  to  the
20    Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar  quarters
21    (excluding  the  month  of highest liability and the month of
22    lowest  liability)  is  less  than  $9,000,  or  until   such
23    taxpayer's  average  monthly  liability  to the Department as
24    computed  for  each  calendar  quarter  of  the  4  preceding
25    complete  calendar  quarter  period  is  less  than  $10,000.
26    However, if  a  taxpayer  can  show  the  Department  that  a
27    substantial  change  in  the taxpayer's business has occurred
28    which causes the taxpayer  to  anticipate  that  his  average
29    monthly  tax  liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
30    will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
31    taxpayer may petition  the  Department  for  change  in  such
32    taxpayer's  reporting  status.  On and after October 1, 2000,
33    once applicable, the requirement of  the  making  of  quarter
34    monthly  payments to the Department shall continue until such
 
                            -13-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
 2    the preceding 4 complete  calendar  quarters  (excluding  the
 3    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
 4    is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
 5    liability  to  the  Department  as computed for each calendar
 6    quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar  quarter  period
 7    is  less  than  $20,000.  However, if a taxpayer can show the
 8    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
 9    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
10    that his average monthly tax  liability  for  the  reasonably
11    foreseeable  future  will  fall  below  the $20,000 threshold
12    stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the  Department
13    for  a  change  in  such  taxpayer's  reporting  status.  The
14    Department shall  change  such  taxpayer's  reporting  status
15    unless  it  finds  that such change is seasonal in nature and
16    not likely to be long  term.  If  any  such  quarter  monthly
17    payment  is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
18    this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
19    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
20    and the amount of such quarter monthly payment  actually  and
21    timely  paid,  except  insofar as the taxpayer has previously
22    made payments for that month to the Department in  excess  of
23    the  minimum  payments  previously  due  as  provided in this
24    Section.  The Department  shall  make  reasonable  rules  and
25    regulations  to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
26    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
27    than a calendar monthly basis.
28        If any such payment provided for in this Section  exceeds
29    the  taxpayer's  liabilities  under  this Act, the Retailers'
30    Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax  Act  and  the
31    Service  Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
32    the  Department  shall  issue  to  the  taxpayer   a   credit
33    memorandum  no  later than 30 days after the date of payment,
34    which memorandum may be submitted  by  the  taxpayer  to  the
 
                            -14-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    Department  in  payment  of  tax liability subsequently to be
 2    remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned  by
 3    the  taxpayer  to  a  similar  taxpayer  under  this Act, the
 4    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
 5    or the Service Use Tax Act,  in  accordance  with  reasonable
 6    rules  and  regulations  to  be prescribed by the Department,
 7    except that if such excess payment is shown  on  an  original
 8    monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
 9    memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
10    If  no  such  request  is  made, the taxpayer may credit such
11    excess payment  against  tax  liability  subsequently  to  be
12    remitted  by  the  taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
13    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
14    Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
15    rules and regulations prescribed by the Department.   If  the
16    Department  subsequently  determines  that all or any part of
17    the credit taken was not actually due to  the  taxpayer,  the
18    taxpayer's  2.1%  or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
19    by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the  credit  taken
20    and  that  actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
21    penalties and interest on such difference.
22        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
23    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
24    the  Department  does  not  exceed  $200,  the Department may
25    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
26    with  the  return for January, February, and March of a given
27    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
28    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
29    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
30    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
31    the return for October, November and December of a given year
32    being due by January 20 of the following year.
33        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
34    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
 
                            -15-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    liability   to  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50,  the
 2    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
 3    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
 4    20 of the following year.
 5        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
 6    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
 7    monthly returns.
 8        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
 9    concerning the time within which  a  retailer  may  file  his
10    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
11    kind  of  business  which  makes  him  responsible for filing
12    returns under this Act, such  retailer  shall  file  a  final
13    return  under  this Act with the Department not more than one
14    month after discontinuing such business.
15        In addition, with respect to motor vehicles,  watercraft,
16    aircraft,  and  trailers  that  are required to be registered
17    with an agency of this State,  every  retailer  selling  this
18    kind  of  tangible  personal  property  shall  file, with the
19    Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by  the
20    Department,  a separate return for each such item of tangible
21    personal property  which  the  retailer  sells,  except  that
22    where,  in  the  same  transaction,  a  retailer of aircraft,
23    watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers  transfers  more  than
24    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
25    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
26    the purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report  the
27    transfer  of  all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
28    trailers involved in that transaction to  the  Department  on
29    the  same  uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
30    For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a  Class  2,
31    Class  3,  or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
32    the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal  watercraft,
33    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
34        The  transaction  reporting  return  in the case of motor
 
                            -16-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered  with
 2    an  agency  of  this State, shall be the same document as the
 3    Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the  Illinois
 4    Vehicle  Code  and  must  show  the  name  and address of the
 5    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
 6    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
 7    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
 8    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
 9    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
10    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
11    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
12    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
13    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
14    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
15    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
16    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
17    place and date of the sale; a  sufficient  identification  of
18    the  property  sold; such other information as is required in
19    Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,  and  such  other
20    information as the Department may reasonably require.
21        The   transaction   reporting   return  in  the  case  of
22    watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
23    seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount  of
24    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
25    retailer  for  traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
26    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
27    if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this  Act  allows
28    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
29    payable  after  deducting  such  trade-in  allowance from the
30    total selling price; the amount of tax due from the  retailer
31    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
32    from  the  purchaser  by the retailer on such transaction (or
33    satisfactory evidence that  such  tax  is  not  due  in  that
34    particular  instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
 
                            -17-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    place and date of the sale, a  sufficient  identification  of
 2    the   property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as  the
 3    Department may reasonably require.
 4        Such transaction reporting  return  shall  be  filed  not
 5    later  than  20  days  after the date of delivery of the item
 6    that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer  at  any
 7    time   sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.   The
 8    transaction reporting return and tax remittance or  proof  of
 9    exemption  from  the  tax  that is imposed by this Act may be
10    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
11    which, or State officer  with  whom,  the  tangible  personal
12    property   must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling  or
13    registration is required) if the Department and  such  agency
14    or  State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
15    the processing of applications for title or registration.
16        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
17    shall remit the proper amount of tax  due  (or  shall  submit
18    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
19    the  case),  to  the  Department or its agents, whereupon the
20    Department shall  issue,  in  the  purchaser's  name,  a  tax
21    receipt  (or  a certificate of exemption if the Department is
22    satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which  such
23    purchaser  may  submit  to  the  agency  with which, or State
24    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
25    personal   property   that   is   involved   (if  titling  or
26    registration is required)  in  support  of  such  purchaser's
27    application  for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
28    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
29        No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under  this
30    Act  precludes  a  user,  who  has paid the proper tax to the
31    retailer, from obtaining his certificate of  title  or  other
32    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
33    is  required)  upon  satisfying the Department that such user
34    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
 
                            -18-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    Department shall adopt appropriate rules  to  carry  out  the
 2    mandate of this paragraph.
 3        If  the  user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
 4    wants the transaction reporting return filed and the  payment
 5    of  tax  or  proof of exemption made to the Department before
 6    the retailer is willing to take these actions and  such  user
 7    has  not  paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
 8    to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon  the
 9    Department   being   satisfied   of   the   truth   of   such
10    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
11    transaction  reporting  return  and the remittance for tax or
12    proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain  his
13    tax  receipt  or  exemption determination, in which event the
14    transaction reporting return and tax  remittance  (if  a  tax
15    payment  was required) shall be credited by the Department to
16    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
17    without the 2.1% or  1.75%  discount  provided  for  in  this
18    Section  being  allowed.  When the user pays the tax directly
19    to the Department, he shall pay the tax in  the  same  amount
20    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
21    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
22        Where  a  retailer  collects  the tax with respect to the
23    selling price of tangible personal property  which  he  sells
24    and  the  purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
25    property and the retailer refunds the selling  price  thereof
26    to  the  purchaser,  such  retailer shall also refund, to the
27    purchaser, the tax so  collected  from  the  purchaser.  When
28    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
29    to  the  purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
30    tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from  any  other  use
31    tax  which  such  retailer may be required to pay or remit to
32    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
33    tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the  Department
34    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
 
                            -19-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the Department, he is
 2    entitled to no deduction under this Act upon  refunding  such
 3    tax to the purchaser.
 4        Any  retailer  filing  a  return under this Section shall
 5    also include (for the purpose  of  paying  tax  thereon)  the
 6    total  tax  covered  by such return upon the selling price of
 7    tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from  a
 8    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
 9    collected  from  the  retailer  filing  such return, and such
10    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
11    when filing such return.
12        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
13    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
14    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
15    file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under   the   Retailers'
16    Occupation  Tax  Act,  to  furnish all the return information
17    required by both Acts on the one form.
18        Where the retailer has more than one business  registered
19    with  the  Department  under separate registration under this
20    Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as  a
21    single  return  covering  all such registered businesses, but
22    shall  file  separate  returns  for  each   such   registered
23    business.
24        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
25    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund,  a
26    special  fund  in the State Treasury which is hereby created,
27    the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the  1%
28    tax  on  sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be
29    consumed off the  premises  where  it  is  sold  (other  than
30    alcoholic  beverages,  soft  drinks  and  food which has been
31    prepared for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription  and
32    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
33    insulin,  urine  testing materials, syringes and needles used
34    by diabetics.

 1        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
 2    shall  pay  into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
 3    of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from  the
 4    6.25%  general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
 5    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
 6    retailer and which is titled or registered by  an  agency  of
 7    this State's government.
 8        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 9    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund,  a
10    special  fund  in  the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue
11    realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general  rate
12    on  the  selling  price  of tangible personal property, other
13    than tangible personal property which  is  purchased  outside

 4    into the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of the  net
 5    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
 6    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
 7    property.
 8        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
 9    pursuant  to  this  Act,  75%  thereof shall be paid into the
10    State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
11    and used only for the transfer to the Common School  Fund  as
12    part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
13    accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
14        As  soon  as  possible after the first day of each month,
15    upon  certification  of  the  Department  of   Revenue,   the
16    Comptroller  shall  order transferred and the Treasurer shall
17    transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel  Tax

 4        (35 ILCS 110/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.33-10)
 5        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
 6    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
 7    6.25% of the selling  price  of  tangible  personal  property
 8    transferred  as  an incident to the sale of service, but, for
 9    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
10    selling  price be less than the cost price of the property to
11    the serviceman.
12        With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1  of
13    the  Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
14    3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at  the  rate  of
15    1.25%.    If,  however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
16    fuel and gasohol under the Motor  Fuel  Tax  Law  during  the
17    period  from  October  1, 2002 through September 30, 2003 are
18    not at least 15% more than the aggregate  tax  revenues  from
19    motor  fuel and gasohol under that Law during the period from
20    October 1, 1999 through September 30,  2000,  then  beginning
21    January  1, 2004 the tax is imposed on motor fuel and gasohol
22    at the 6.25% general rate.
23        With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use  Tax  Act,
24    the  tax  imposed  by  this Act applies to 70% of the selling
25    price of property transferred as an incident to the  sale  of
26    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
27    and to 100% of the selling price thereafter.
28        At  the  election  of  any registered serviceman made for
29    each fiscal year, sales of service  in  which  the  aggregate
30    annual  cost  price of tangible personal property transferred
31    as an incident to the sales of service is less than  35%,  or
32    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs

 1    or  servicemen  engaged  in  graphic  arts production, of the
 2    aggregate annual total  gross  receipts  from  all  sales  of
 3    service,  the  tax  imposed by this Act shall be based on the
 4    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
 5    transferred as an incident to the sale of those services.
 6        The  tax  shall  be  imposed  at  the  rate of 1% on food
 7    prepared for immediate consumption and  transferred  incident
 8    to  a  sale  of  service  subject  to this Act or the Service
 9    Occupation Tax Act by an entity licensed under  the  Hospital
10    Licensing  Act,  the Nursing Home Care Act, or the Child Care
11    Act of 1969.  The tax shall also be imposed at the rate of 1%
12    on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off  the
13    premises  where  it  is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
14    soft drinks, and food that has been  prepared  for  immediate
15    consumption  and is not otherwise included in this paragraph)
16    and  prescription  and  nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,
17    medical  appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for the
18    purpose of rendering it usable  by  a  disabled  person,  and
19    insulin,  urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used
20    by diabetics,  for  human  use.  For  the  purposes  of  this
21    Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete, finished,
22    ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not,
23    including  but  not limited to soda water, cola, fruit juice,
24    vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all other preparations
25    commonly known as soft drinks of whatever kind or description
26    that are contained in  any  closed  or  sealed  bottle,  can,
27    carton, or container, regardless of size.  "Soft drinks" does
28    not   include   coffee,  tea,  non-carbonated  water,  infant
29    formula, milk or milk products as  defined  in  the  Grade  A
30    Pasteurized  Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks containing
31    50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
32        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
33    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
34    where  it  is  sold" includes all food sold through a vending

 2    dispensed  hot  from  a  vending  machine,  regardless of the
 3    location of the vending machine.
 4        If the property that is acquired  from  a  serviceman  is
 5    acquired  outside  Illinois  and used outside Illinois before
 6    being brought to Illinois for use here and is  taxable  under
 7    this  Act,  the  "selling price" on which the tax is computed
 8    shall be reduced by an amount that  represents  a  reasonable
 9    allowance   for   depreciation   for   the  period  of  prior
10    out-of-state use.

13        (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
14        Sec.   9.  Each  serviceman  required  or  authorized  to
15    collect the tax herein imposed shall pay  to  the  Department
16    the  amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the
17    time when he is required to file his return  for  the  period
18    during  which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1%
19    prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and  after  January  1,
20    1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
21    allowed  to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in
22    collecting the tax, keeping  records,  preparing  and  filing
23    returns,   remitting  the  tax  and  supplying  data  to  the
24    Department on request. A serviceman need not remit that  part
25    of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
26    to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
27    Tax  Act  with  respect  to his sale of service involving the
28    incidental transfer by him of the same property.
29        Except as provided hereinafter in  this  Section,  on  or
30    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
31    serviceman  shall  file  a  return for the preceding calendar
32    month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations  to
33    be  promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed

 2    information as the Department may reasonably require.
 3        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
 4    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar

24        Department may require.
25        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
26    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
27    the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown  to
28    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.

                            -30-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a

 9    under   this  Act,  and  under  all  other  State  and  local
10    occupation and use tax laws administered by  the  Department,
11    for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year.    The term
12    "average  monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of   the

16    divided by 12.
17        Before August 1 of  each  year  beginning  in  1993,  the
18    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
19    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
20    to  make  payments  by  electronic  funds transfer shall make
21    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
22    1.
23        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic
24    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
25    with the permission of the Department.
26        All  taxpayers  required  to  make  payment by electronic
27    funds transfer and any taxpayers  authorized  to  voluntarily
28    make  payments  by electronic funds transfer shall make those
29    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
30        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
31    effectuate a program of electronic  funds  transfer  and  the
32    requirements of this Section.
33        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
34    return  and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability
 
                            -31-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    to the Department does not exceed $200,  the  Department  may
 2    authorize  his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
 3    with the return for January, February and March  of  a  given
 4    year  being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
 5    April, May and June of a given year being due by July  20  of
 6    such  year; with the return for July, August and September of
 7    a given year being due by October 20 of such year,  and  with
 8    the return for October, November and December of a given year
 9    being due by January 20 of the following year.
10        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
11    or  quarterly  return and if the serviceman's average monthly
12    tax liability to the Department  does  not  exceed  $50,  the
13    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
14    basis,  with the return for a given year being due by January
15    20 of the following year.
16        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
17    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
18    monthly returns.
19        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
20    concerning  the  time  within which a serviceman may file his
21    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
22    a kind of business which makes  him  responsible  for  filing
23    returns  under  this  Act, such serviceman shall file a final
24    return under this Act with the Department  not  more  than  1
25    month after discontinuing such business.
26        Where  a  serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
27    selling price of property which he sells  and  the  purchaser
28    thereafter  returns  such property and the serviceman refunds
29    the selling price thereof to the purchaser,  such  serviceman
30    shall  also  refund,  to  the purchaser, the tax so collected
31    from the purchaser. When filing his return for the period  in
32    which  he  refunds  such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman
33    may deduct the amount of the tax so refunded by  him  to  the
34    purchaser  from any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation
 
                            -32-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    Tax,  retailers'  occupation  tax  or  use  tax  which   such
 2    serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
 3    as  shown by such return, provided that the amount of the tax
 4    to be deducted shall previously have  been  remitted  to  the
 5    Department  by  such  serviceman. If the serviceman shall not
 6    previously have remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax  to  the
 7    Department,  he  shall  be entitled to no deduction hereunder
 8    upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
 9        Any serviceman  filing  a  return  hereunder  shall  also
10    include  the  total  tax  upon  the selling price of tangible
11    personal property purchased for use by him as an incident  to
12    a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
13    of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
14        If  experience  indicates  such action to be practicable,
15    the Department may prescribe and  furnish  a  combination  or
16    joint  return  which will enable servicemen, who are required
17    to  file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under  the   Service
18    Occupation  Tax  Act,  to  furnish all the return information
19    required by both Acts on the one form.
20        Where  the  serviceman  has  more   than   one   business
21    registered  with  the  Department under separate registration
22    hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
23    due  as  a  single  return  covering  all   such   registered
24    businesses,  but  shall  file  separate returns for each such
25    registered business.
26        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
27    shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
28    fund  in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for the
29    preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of  food  for  human
30    consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
31    is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
32    which  has  been  prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and
33    prescription  and  nonprescription  medicines, drugs, medical
34    appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and

 3    remains  at  1.25%,  each month the Department shall pay into
 4    the County and Mass Transit District  Fund  20%  of  the  net

 9    of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from  the
10    6.25%   general   rate  on  transfers  of  tangible  personal
11    property, other than  tangible  personal  property  which  is
12    purchased  outside  Illinois  at  retail  from a retailer and
13    which is titled or registered by an agency  of  this  State's
14    government.
15        Beginning  November  1,  2000,  and  so  long as the rate
16    remains at 1.25%, each month the Department  shall  pay  into
17    the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized
18    for  the  preceding  month from the 1.25% rate on the selling
19    price of motor fuel and gasohol.
20        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
21    pursuant to this Act, (a)  1.75% thereof shall be  paid  into
22    the  Build  Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
23    and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof  shall  be   paid
24    into  the  Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
25    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
26    as the case may be, of the moneys received by the  Department
27    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant

31    hereinafter  called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
32    or 3.8%, as the case may  be,  of  moneys  being  hereinafter
33    called  the  "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred

 3    Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be  immediately
 4    paid  into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
 5    by the Department pursuant  to  the  Tax  Acts;  and  further
 6    provided,  that  if on the last business day of any month the
 7    sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be  deposited  into
 8    the  Build  Illinois  Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund
 9    during such month and (2) the amount transferred during  such
10    month  to  the  Build  Illinois Fund from the State and Local
11    Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12  of  the

17    aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund  pursuant  to
18    this  clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater
19    of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
20    for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
21    payable into the Build Illinois Fund under  this  clause  (b)
22    shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
23    on  deposit  under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued
24    and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois  Bond  Act  is
25    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
26    to  fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the

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

16        (35 ILCS 115/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)
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 the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of the
20    Service Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.   For
21    the  purpose  of  computing  this  tax, in no event shall the
22    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
23    of the tangible personal property transferred.   The  selling
24    price  of each item of tangible personal property transferred
25    as an incident of a  sale  of  service  may  be  shown  as  a
26    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
27    service  customer.  If the selling price is not so shown, the
28    selling price of the tangible personal property is deemed  to
29    be  50%  of  the  serviceman's  entire billing to the service
30    customer.  When, however, a serviceman contracts  to  design,
31    develop,  and  produce  special order machinery or equipment,
32    the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act  shall  be  based   on   the
 
                            -39-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
 2    transferred incident to the completion of the contract.
 3        With respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1  of
 4    the  Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section
 5    3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at  the  rate  of
 6    1.25%.    If,  however, the aggregate tax revenues from motor
 7    fuel and gasohol under the Motor  Fuel  Tax  Law  during  the
 8    period  from  October  1, 2002 through September 30, 2003 are
 9    not at least 15% more than the aggregate  tax  revenues  from
10    motor  fuel and gasohol under that Law during the period from
11    October 1, 1999 through September 30,  2000,  then  beginning
12    January  1, 2004 the tax is imposed on motor fuel and gasohol
13    at the 6.25% general rate.
14        With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use  Tax  Act,
15    the  tax  imposed  by this Act shall apply to 70% of the cost
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 cost 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 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%
 
                            -40-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off  the
 2    premises  where  it  is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
 3    soft drinks, and food that has been  prepared  for  immediate
 4    consumption  and is not otherwise included in this paragraph)
 5    and  prescription  and  nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,
 6    medical  appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for the
 7    purpose of rendering it usable  by  a  disabled  person,  and
 8    insulin,  urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used
 9    by diabetics, for  human  use.   For  the  purposes  of  this
10    Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete, finished,
11    ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not,
12    including  but  not limited to soda water, cola, fruit juice,
13    vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all other preparations
14    commonly known as soft drinks of whatever kind or description
15    that are contained in any closed or sealed  can,  carton,  or
16    container,  regardless  of  size.   "Soft  drinks"  does  not
17    include  coffee,  tea,  non-carbonated water, infant formula,
18    milk or milk products as defined in the Grade  A  Pasteurized
19    Milk  and Milk Products Act, or drinks containing 50% or more
20    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.

30        Sec.  9.   Each  serviceman  required  or  authorized  to
31    collect  the  tax  herein imposed shall pay to the Department
32    the amount of such tax at the time when  he  is  required  to
33    file  his  return  for  the  period during which such tax was

 1    collectible, less a discount of  2.1%  prior  to  January  1,
 2    1990,  and  1.75%  on  and  after  January 1, 1990, or $5 per
 3    calendar year, whichever is  greater,  which  is  allowed  to
 4    reimburse  the serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting
 5    the tax,  keeping  records,  preparing  and  filing  returns,
 6    remitting  the  tax  and  supplying data to the Department on
 7    request.
 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 serviceman, in collecting  the  tax  may
13    collect,  for each tax return period, only the tax applicable
14    to the part of the selling  price  actually  received  during
15    such tax return period.
16        Except  as  provided  hereinafter  in this Section, on or
17    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
18    serviceman shall file a return  for  the  preceding  calendar
19    month  in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
20    be promulgated by the Department of  Revenue.    Such  return
21    shall  be  filed  on  a form prescribed by the Department and
22    shall  contain  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 business as a serviceman in this

 1        State;
 2             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
 3        him  during  the  preceding  calendar  month,   including
 4        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all
 5        deductions allowed by law;
 6             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of
 7        this Act;
 8             5.  The amount of tax due;
 9             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
10             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
11        Department may require.
12        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
13    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
14    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
15    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
16        A serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase  Credit
17    certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
18    Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
19    the  purchaser  provides  the  appropriate  documentation  as
20    required  by  Section  3-70  of  the  Service Use Tax Act.  A
21    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted  by  a
22    serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
23    Act,  may  be  used  by  that  serviceman  to satisfy Service
24    Occupation  Tax  liability  in  the  amount  claimed  in  the
25    certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
26    tax from a qualifying purchase.
27        If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to  the
28    Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
29    his  returns  to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
30    return for January, February and March of a given year  being
31    due  by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May
32    and June of a given year being due by July 20 of  such  year;
33    with  the  return  for  July, August and September of a given
34    year being due by October 20  of  such  year,  and  with  the
 
                            -43-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    return  for  October,  November  and December of a given year
 2    being due by January 20 of the following year.
 3        If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to  the
 4    Department  does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
 5    his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with  the  return
 6    for  a  given  year  being due by January 20 of the following
 7    year.
 8        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
 9    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
10    monthly returns.
11        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
12    concerning  the  time  within which a serviceman may file his
13    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
14    a kind of business which makes  him  responsible  for  filing
15    returns  under  this  Act, such serviceman shall file a final
16    return under this Act with the Department  not  more  than  1
17    month after discontinuing such business.
18        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
19    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
20    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
21    funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1994,  a  taxpayer  who
22    has  an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $100,000 or more
23    shall make all payments required by rules of  the  Department
24    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a
25    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
26    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
27    Department by electronic funds transfer.   Beginning  October
28    1,  2000,  a  taxpayer  who  has  an  annual tax liability of
29    $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of
30    the  Department  by  electronic  funds  transfer.   The  term
31    "annual tax liability" shall be the  sum  of  the  taxpayer's
32    liabilities  under  this  Act,  and under all other State and
33    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
34    Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.  The
 
                            -44-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    term  "average  monthly  tax  liability" means the sum of the
 2    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
 3    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by
 4    the Department, for the immediately preceding  calendar  year
 5    divided by 12.
 6        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
 7    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
 8    payments  by  electronic  funds  transfer.    All   taxpayers
 9    required  to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
10    make those payments for a minimum of one  year  beginning  on
11    October 1.
12        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
13    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
14    with the permission of the Department.
15        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
16    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
17    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
18    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
19        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
20    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
21    requirements of this Section.
22        Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect  to  the
23    selling  price  of  tangible personal property which he sells
24    and the purchaser thereafter returns such  tangible  personal
25    property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
26    to  the  purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
27    purchaser, the tax so collected  from  the  purchaser.   When
28    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
29    to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
30    tax  so  refunded  by  him  to  the  purchaser from any other
31    Service  Occupation  Tax,   Service   Use   Tax,   Retailers'
32    Occupation  Tax  or  Use  Tax  which  such  serviceman may be
33    required to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by  such
34    return,  provided  that  the amount of the tax to be deducted
 
                            -45-           LRB9103095DJcdam07
 1    shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
 2    serviceman.  If the  serviceman  shall  not  previously  have
 3    remitted  the  amount of such tax to the Department, he shall
 4    be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
 5    to the purchaser.
 6        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
 7    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
 8    joint return which will enable servicemen, who  are  required
 9    to  file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under the Retailers'
10    Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act or the  Service  Use  Tax
11    Act,  to  furnish  all the return information required by all
12    said Acts on the one form.
13        Where  the  serviceman  has  more   than   one   business
14    registered  with  the Department under separate registrations
15    hereunder, such serviceman shall file  separate  returns  for
16    each registered business.
17        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
18    shall pay into the Local  Government  Tax  Fund  the  revenue
19    realized  for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of
20    food for human consumption which is to be  consumed  off  the
21    premises  where  it  is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
22    soft drinks and food which has been  prepared  for  immediate
23    consumption)  and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
24    drugs,  medical  appliances  and   insulin,   urine   testing
25    materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
26        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
27    shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District  Fund  4%
28    of  the  revenue  realized  for  the preceding month from the
29    6.25% general rate.
30        Beginning November 1, 2000,  and  so  long  as  the  rate
31    remains  at  1.25%,  each month the Department shall pay into
32    the County and Mass Transit District  Fund  20%  of  the  net
33    revenue  realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate
34    on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.

 2    shall  pay  into  the  Local  Government  Tax Fund 16% of the
 3    revenue realized for  the  preceding  month  from  the  6.25%
 4    general rate on transfers of tangible personal property.
 5        Beginning  November  1,  2000,  and  so  long as the rate
 6    remains at 1.25%, each month the Department  shall  pay  into
 7    the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized
 8    for  the  preceding  month from the 1.25% rate on the selling
 9    price of motor fuel and gasohol.
10        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
11    pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall  be  paid  into
12    the  Build  Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
13    and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8%  thereof  shall  be  paid
14    into  the  Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
15    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
16    as the case may be, of the moneys received by the  Department
17    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
18    to  Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9
19    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
20    Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts  being
21    hereinafter  called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
22    or 3.8%, as the case may  be,  of  moneys  being  hereinafter
23    called  the  "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
24    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
25    Reform Fund shall be less than the  Annual  Specified  Amount
26    (as  defined  in  Section  3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
27    Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be  immediately
28    paid  into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
29    by the Department pursuant  to  the  Tax  Acts;  and  further
30    provided,  that  if on the last business day of any month the
31    sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be  deposited  into
32    the  Build Illinois Account in the Build Illinois Fund during
33    such month and (2) the amount transferred during  such  month

 1    Reform  Fund  shall  have  been  less than 1/12 of the Annual
 2    Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference shall  be
 3    immediately  paid  into  the  Build  Illinois Fund from other
 4    moneys received by the Department pursuant to the  Tax  Acts;
 5    and,  further  provided,  that in no event shall the payments
 6    required under the  preceding  proviso  result  in  aggregate
 7    payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause
 8    (b)  for  any fiscal year in excess of the greater of (i) the
 9    Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount  for  such
10    fiscal  year; and, further provided, that the amounts payable
11    into the Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b)  shall  be
12    payable  only  until  such  time  as  the aggregate amount on
13    deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued  and
14    outstanding  pursuant  to  the  Build  Illinois  Bond  Act is
15    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
16    to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for  the
17    defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
18    any,  and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and
19    on any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter  and  all  fees
20    and  costs  payable with respect thereto, all as certified by
21    the Director of the Bureau of the Budget.   If  on  the  last
22    business  day  of  any  month  in which Bonds are outstanding
23    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
24    moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond  Account  in  the
25    Build  Illinois  Fund  in  such  month shall be less than the
26    amount required to be transferred  in  such  month  from  the
27    Build  Illinois  Bond  Account  to  the  Build  Illinois Bond
28    Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section  13  of  the

 2    preceding month from the 6.25% general rate, as the case  may
 3    be,  on the selling price of tangible personal property which
 4    amount shall, subject to  appropriation,  be  distributed  as
 5    provided  in  Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act.  No
 6    payments or distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be
 7    made if the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act  on  photoprocessing

10    litigation.
11        Subject  to  payment  of  amounts into the Build Illinois
12    Fund, the McCormick Place Expansion  Project  Fund,  and  the
13    Local  Government Distributive Fund pursuant to the preceding
14    paragraphs or in any amendments  thereto  hereafter  enacted,

20        Remaining  moneys  received by the Department pursuant to
21    this Act shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund  of  the
22    State Treasury.
23        The  Department  may,  upon  separate written notice to a
24    taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file  with  the
25    Department  on a form prescribed by the Department within not
26    less than 60 days after  receipt  of  the  notice  an  annual
27    information  return for the tax year specified in the notice.
28    Such  annual  return  to  the  Department  shall  include   a
29    statement  of  gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last
30    Federal income tax return.  If  the  total  receipts  of  the
31    business  as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
32    agree with the gross receipts reported to the  Department  of
33    Revenue for the same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his
34    annual  return  a  schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2

 1    amounts and the reasons for the difference.   The  taxpayer's
 2    annual  return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
 3    of goods sold by the taxpayer during the year covered by such
 4    return, opening and closing inventories  of  such  goods  for
 5    such  year, cost of goods used from stock or taken from stock
 6    and given away by the taxpayer during  such  year,  pay  roll
 7    information  of  the taxpayer's business during such year and
 8    any additional reasonable information  which  the  Department
 9    deems  would  be  helpful  in determining the accuracy of the
10    monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by  such  taxpayer
11    as hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
12        If the annual information return required by this Section
13    is  not  filed  when  and  as required, the taxpayer shall be
14    liable as follows:
15             (i)  Until January 1, 1994, the  taxpayer  shall  be
16        liable  for  a  penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
17        from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
18        covered by the annual return for each month  or  fraction
19        of  a  month  until such return is filed as required, the
20        penalty to be assessed and collected in the  same  manner
21        as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
22             (ii)  On  and  after  January  1, 1994, the taxpayer
23        shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
24        of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
25        The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
26    ranking manager shall sign the annual return to  certify  the
27    accuracy  of  the  information contained therein.  Any person
28    who willfully signs the annual  return  containing  false  or
29    inaccurate   information  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury  and
30    punished accordingly.  The annual return form  prescribed  by
31    the  Department  shall  include  a  warning  that  the person
32    signing the return may be liable for perjury.
33        The foregoing portion  of  this  Section  concerning  the
34    filing  of  an annual information return shall not apply to a

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

11    person engaged in the business of  selling  at  retail  motor

13    this Act, but the vendors  discount  provided  in  Section  3
14    shall  not  apply  to  the  amount  of  prepaid  tax  that is
15    remitted. Any distributor or supplier who fails  to  properly
16    collect  and  remit the tax shall be liable for the tax.  For
17    purposes of this Section, the prepaid tax is due on  invoiced
18    gallons  sold during a month by the 20th day of the following
19    month.
