The Department shall make reasonable rules and 13 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and 14 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other 15 than a calendar monthly basis. 16 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds 17 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers' 18 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the 19 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return, 20 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit 21 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment, 22 which memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the 23 Department in payment of tax liability subsequently to be 24 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by 25 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the 26 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act 27 or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable 28 rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Department, 29 except that if such excess payment is shown on an original 30 monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit 31 memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer. 32 If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such 33 excess payment against tax liability subsequently to be 34 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department under this Act, SB1453 Enrolled -17- LRB9111084SMdv 1 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax 2 Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable 3 rules and regulations prescribed by the Department. If the 4 Department subsequently determines that all or any part of 5 the credit taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the 6 taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced 7 by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken 8 and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for 9 penalties and interest on such difference. 10 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly 11 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to 12 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may 13 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, 14 with the return for January, February, and March of a given 15 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for 16 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of 17 such year; with the return for July, August and September of 18 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with 19 the return for October, November and December of a given year 20 being due by January 20 of the following year. 21 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly 22 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax 23 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the 24 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual 25 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 26 20 of the following year. 27 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and 28 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as 29 monthly returns. 30 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act 31 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his 32 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a 33 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing 34 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final SB1453 Enrolled -18- LRB9111084SMdv 1 return under this Act with the Department not more than one 2 month after discontinuing such business. 3 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft, 4 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered 5 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this 6 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the 7 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the 8 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible 9 personal property which the retailer sells, except that if 10where, in the same transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, 11 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than 12 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another 13 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for 14 the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, 15 watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than 16 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a 17 purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as provided 18 in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that sellerfor resalemay 19 report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor 20 vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the 21 Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting 22 return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" 23 means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in 24 Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a 25 personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard 26 motor. 27 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor 28 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with 29 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the 30 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois 31 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the 32 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of 33 the selling price including the amount allowed by the 34 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed SB1453 Enrolled -19- LRB9111084SMdv 1 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property, 2 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows 3 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance 4 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the 5 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer 6 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected 7 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or 8 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that 9 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the 10 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of 11 the property sold; such other information as is required in 12 Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other 13 information as the Department may reasonably require. 14 The transaction reporting return in the case of 15 watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the 16 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of 17 the selling price including the amount allowed by the 18 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed 19 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property, 20 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows 21 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance 22 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the 23 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer 24 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected 25 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or 26 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that 27 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the 28 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of 29 the property sold, and such other information as the 30 Department may reasonably require. 31 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not 32 later than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item 33 that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any 34 time sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The SB1453 Enrolled -20- LRB9111084SMdv 1 transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of 2 exemption from the tax that is imposed by this Act may be 3 transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with 4 which, or State officer with whom, the tangible personal 5 property must be titled or registered (if titling or 6 registration is required) if the Department and such agency 7 or State officer determine that this procedure will expedite 8 the processing of applications for title or registration. 9 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer 10 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit 11 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is 12 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the 13 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax 14 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is 15 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such 16 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State 17 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible 18 personal property that is involved (if titling or 19 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's 20 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of 21 title or registration to such tangible personal property. 22 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this 23 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the 24 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other 25 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration 26 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user 27 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The 28 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the 29 mandate of this paragraph. 30 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer 31 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment 32 of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before 33 the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user 34 has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify SB1453 Enrolled -21- LRB9111084SMdv 1 to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the 2 Department being satisfied of the truth of such 3 certification) transmit the information required by the 4 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or 5 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his 6 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the 7 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax 8 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to 9 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but 10 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this 11 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly 12 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount 13 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax 14 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer. 15 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the 16 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells 17 and the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal 18 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof 19 to the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the 20 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When 21 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax 22 to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the 23 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use 24 tax which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to 25 the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the 26 tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department 27 by such retailer. If the retailer has not previously 28 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he is 29 entitled to no deduction under this Act upon refunding such 30 tax to the purchaser. 31 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall 32 also include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the 33 total tax covered by such return upon the selling price of 34 tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from a SB1453 Enrolled -22- LRB9111084SMdv 1 retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not 2 collected from the retailer filing such return, and such 3 retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department 4 when filing such return. 5 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, 6 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or 7 joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to 8 file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' 9 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information 10 required by both Acts on the one form. 11 Where the retailer has more than one business registered 12 with the Department under separate registration under this 13 Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a 14 single return covering all such registered businesses, but 15 shall file separate returns for each such registered 16 business. 17 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department 18 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a 19 special fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, 20 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% 21 tax on sales of food for human consumption which is to be 22 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than 23 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which has been 24 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and 25 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and 26 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used 27 by diabetics. 28 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department 29 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% 30 of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 31 6.25% general rate on the selling price of tangible personal 32 property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a 33 retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of 34 this State's government. SB1453 Enrolled -23- LRB9111084SMdv 1 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department 2 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a 3 special fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue 4 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate 5 on the selling price of tangible personal property, other 6 than tangible personal property which is purchased outside 7 Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is titled or 8 registered by an agency of this State's government. 9 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department 10 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net 11 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% 12 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal 13 property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a 14 retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of 15 this State's government. 16 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department 17 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into 18 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% 19 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid 20 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in 21 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, 22 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department 23 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant 24 to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9 25 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and 26 Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being 27 hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% 28 or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter 29 called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred 30 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax 31 Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount 32 (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax 33 Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately 34 paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received SB1453 Enrolled -24- LRB9111084SMdv 1 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and further 2 provided, that if on the last business day of any month the 3 sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into 4 the Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund 5 during such month and (2) the amount transferred during such 6 month to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local 7 Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the 8 Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference 9 shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from 10 other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax 11 Acts; and, further provided, that in no event shall the 12 payments required under the preceding proviso result in 13 aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to 14 this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater 15 of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount 16 for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts 17 payable into the Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b) 18 shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount 19 on deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued 20 and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is 21 sufficient, taking into account any future investment income, 22 to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the 23 defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if 24 any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and 25 on any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees 26 and costs payable with respect thereto, all as certified by 27 the Director of the Bureau of the Budget. If on the last 28 business day of any month in which Bonds are outstanding 29 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the 30 moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond Account in the 31 Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less than the 32 amount required to be transferred in such month from the 33 Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond 34 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the SB1453 Enrolled -25- LRB9111084SMdv 1 Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency 2 shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the 3 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois 4 Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build 5 Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence 6 shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) 7 of the preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount 8 otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b) 9 of the preceding sentence.

Such return shall 12 be filed on a form prescribed by the Department and shall 13 contain such information as the Department may reasonably 14 require. Such return and payment from the purchaser shall be 15 submitted to the Department sooner than the last day of the 16 month after the month in which the purchase is made to the 17 extent that that may be necessary in order to secure the 18 title to a motor vehicle or the certificate of registration 19 for an aircraft.

The transaction 13 reporting return and tax remittance or proof of exemption 14 from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the 15 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State 16 officer with whom the tangible personal property must be 17 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required) 18 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine 19 that this procedure will expedite the processing of 20 applications for title or registration. 21 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer 22 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit 23 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is 24 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the 25 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax 26 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is 27 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such 28 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State 29 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible 30 personal property that is involved (if titling or 31 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's 32 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of 33 title or registration to such tangible personal property. 34 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this SB1453 Enrolled -47- LRB9111084SMdv 1 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the 2 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other 3 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration 4 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user 5 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The 6 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the 7 mandate of this paragraph. 8 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer 9 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment 10 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department 11 before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such 12 user has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may 13 certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may 14 (upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such 15 certification) transmit the information required by the 16 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or 17 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his 18 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the 19 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax 20 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to 21 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but 22 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this 23 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly 24 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount 25 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax 26 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer. 27 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return 28 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal 29 property returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a 30 deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly 31 return, as the case may be, in case the seller had 32 theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such 33 tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had 34 paid the tax imposed by this Act with respect to such SB1453 Enrolled -48- LRB9111084SMdv 1 receipts. 2 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on 3 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president, 4 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly 5 accredited agent of such corporation. 6 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the 7 return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall 8 be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent 9 of the limited liability company. 10 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing 11 the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing 12 such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed 13 by this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 14 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar 15 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the 16 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records, 17 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying 18 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made 19 pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the 20 amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In 21 the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a 22 transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this 23 Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax 24 remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic 25 return. 26 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly 27 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax 28 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax 29 Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be 30 remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was 31 $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar 32 quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each 33 month by the 20th day of the month next following the month 34 during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make SB1453 Enrolled -49- LRB9111084SMdv 1 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd 2 and last day of the month during which such liability is 3 incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's 4 average monthly tax liability to the Department under this 5 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the 6 Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid 7 sales tax to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of 8 this Act, was $20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete 9 calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department 10 each month by the 20th day of the month next following the 11 month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall 12 make payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 13 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is 14 incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is 15 incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall 16 be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual 17 liability for the month or an amount set by the Department 18 not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability of the 19 taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete 20 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability 21 and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). 22 If the month during which such tax liability is incurred 23 begins on or after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 24 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of 25 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the 26 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the 27 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability 28 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to 29 January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 30 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 31 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar 32 month of the preceding year. If the month during which such 33 tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988, 34 and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January SB1453 Enrolled -50- LRB9111084SMdv 1 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of 2 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the 3 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the 4 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability 5 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior to 6 January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 7 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% 8 of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of 9 the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability 10 for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount of such 11 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final 12 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month. 13 Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of 14 the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by 15 taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000 16 or more as determined in the manner provided above shall 17 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to 18 the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar 19 quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the 20 month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such 21 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as 22 computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding 23 complete calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. 24 However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a 25 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred 26 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average 27 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future 28 will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such 29 taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such 30 taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, 31 once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter 32 monthly payments to the Department by taxpayers having an 33 average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or more as 34 determined in the manner provided above shall continue until SB1453 Enrolled -51- LRB9111084SMdv 1 such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department 2 during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding 3 the month of highest liability and the month of lowest 4 liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's 5 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for 6 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar 7 quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer 8 can show the Department that a substantial change in the 9 taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to 10 anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the 11 reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 12 threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the 13 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. 14 The 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 as a payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment 21 actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has 22 previously made payments for that month to the Department in 23 excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in 24 this 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 Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make 29 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who 30 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit 31 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average 32 in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 33 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the 34 Department as required by Section 2f and shall make payments SB1453 Enrolled -52- LRB9111084SMdv 1 to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last 2 day of the month during which such liability is incurred. If 3 the month during which such tax liability is incurred began 4 prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, 5 each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the 6 taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month 7 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or 8 after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount 9 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the 10 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same 11 calendar month of the preceding calendar year. If the month 12 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or 13 after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount 14 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the 15 month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same 16 calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of such 17 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final 18 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed 19 under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once 20 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly 21 payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall 22 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax 23 collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters 24 is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly payment is 25 not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer 26 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such 27 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously 28 made payments for that month in excess of the minimum 29 payments previously due. 30 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the 31 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the 32 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as 33 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if 34 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit SB1453 Enrolled -53- LRB9111084SMdv 1 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. 2 The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be 3 assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this 4 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the 5 Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and 6 regulations to be prescribed by the Department. If no such 7 request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment 8 against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the 9 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service 10 Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance 11 with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by the 12 Department. If the Department subsequently determined that 13 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to 14 the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount 15 shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between 16 the credit taken and that actually due, and that taxpayer 17 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such 18 difference. 19 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under 20 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability 21 to the Department under this Act for the month which the 22 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the 23 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess. 24 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department 25 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund 26 in the State treasury which is hereby created, the net 27 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on 28 sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed 29 off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic 30 beverages, soft drinks and food which has been prepared for 31 immediate consumption) and prescription and nonprescription 32 medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine 33 testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics. 34 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department SB1453 Enrolled -54- LRB9111084SMdv 1 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a 2 special fund in the State treasury which is hereby created, 3 4% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from 4 the 6.25% general rate. 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. 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 this Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the 19 Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation 20 Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" 21 and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case may be, of 22 moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) 23 the amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the 24 State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be less than the 25 Annual Specified Amount (as hereinafter defined), an amount 26 equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into the 27 Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the 28 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; the "Annual Specified 29 Amount" means the amounts specified below for fiscal years 30 1986 through 1993: 31 Fiscal Year Annual Specified Amount 32 1986 $54,800,000 33 1987 $76,650,000 34 1988 $80,480,000 SB1453 Enrolled -55- LRB9111084SMdv 1 1989 $88,510,000 2 1990 $115,330,000 3 1991 $145,470,000 4 1992 $182,730,000 5 1993 $206,520,000; 6 and means the Certified Annual Debt Service Requirement (as 7 defined in Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act) or the 8 Tax Act Amount, whichever is greater, for fiscal year 1994 9 and each fiscal year thereafter; and further provided, that 10 if on the last business day of any month the sum of (1) the 11 Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into the Build 12 Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such 13 month and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois 14 Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall 15 have been less than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an 16 amount equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into 17 the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the 18 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided, 19 that in no event shall the payments required under the 20 preceding proviso result in aggregate payments into the Build 21 Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year 22 in excess of the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) 23 the Annual Specified Amount for such fiscal year. The 24 amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under clause (b) 25 of the first sentence in this paragraph shall be payable only 26 until such time as the aggregate amount on deposit under each 27 trust indenture securing Bonds issued and outstanding 28 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking 29 into account any future investment income, to fully provide, 30 in accordance with such indenture, for the defeasance of or 31 the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and 32 interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and on any 33 Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees and costs 34 payable with respect thereto, all as certified by the SB1453 Enrolled -56- LRB9111084SMdv 1 Director of the Bureau of the Budget. If on the last 2 business day of any month in which Bonds are outstanding 3 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of 4 moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond Account in the 5 Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less than the 6 amount required to be transferred in such month from the 7 Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond 8 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the 9 Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency 10 shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the 11 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois 12 Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build 13 Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence 14 shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) 15 of the first sentence of this paragraph and shall reduce the 16 amount otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to 17 that clause (b). The moneys received by the Department 18 pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the 19 Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and 20 charge set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond 21 Act. 22 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois 23 Fund as provided in the preceding paragraph or in any 24 amendment thereto hereafter enacted, the following specified 25 monthly installment of the amount requested in the 26 certificate of the Chairman of the Metropolitan Pier and 27 Exposition Authority provided under Section 8.25f of the 28
