3regardless of their classification or uses; and (B) all
4combustible gases, not including liquefied natural gas, which
5exist in a gaseous state at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and at 14.7
6pounds per square inch absolute including, but not limited to,
7liquefied petroleum gases used for highway purposes; and (C)
8special fuel. Only those quantities of combustible gases
9(example (B) above) which are used or sold by the distributor
10to be used to propel motor vehicles on the public highways, or
11which are delivered into a storage tank that is located at a
12facility that has withdrawal facilities which are readily
13accessible to and are capable of dispensing combustible gases
14into the fuel supply tanks of motor vehicles, shall be subject
15to return. Distributors of liquefied natural gas are not
16required to make returns under this Section with respect to
17that liquefied natural gas unless (i) the liquefied natural gas
18is dispensed into the fuel supply tank of any motor vehicle or
19(ii) the liquefied natural gas is delivered into a storage tank
20that is located at a facility that has withdrawal facilities

3reach the fuel supply tank of a motor vehicle or (ii) a
4dispenser that is enclosed by a fence or other physical barrier
5so that a vehicle cannot pull alongside the dispenser to permit
6fueling. For the purposes of this Act, liquefied petroleum
7gases shall mean and include any material having a vapor
8pressure not exceeding that allowed for commercial propane
9composed predominantly of the following hydrocarbons, either
10by themselves or as mixtures: Propane, Propylene, Butane
11(normal butane or iso-butane) and Butylene (including
12isomers).
13    In case of a sale of special fuel to someone other than a
14licensed distributor, or a licensed supplier, for a use other
15than in motor vehicles, the distributor shall show in his
16return the amount of invoiced gallons sold and the name and
17address of the purchaser in addition to any other information
18the Department may require.
19    All special fuel sold or used for non-highway purposes must
20have a dye added in accordance with Section 4d of this Law.
21    In case of a tax-free sale, as provided in Section 6, of
22motor fuel which the distributor is required by this Section to

17railroads and other common carriers in the regular course of
18business shall be prima facie evidence of the contents and
19receipt of cars or tanks covered by those records, waybills or
20supporting documents.
21    If the Department has reason to believe and does believe
22that the amount shown on the return as purchased, acquired,
23received, exported, sold, used, lost or destroyed is incorrect,
24or that an amount of motor fuel of the types required by the
25second paragraph of this Section to be reported to the
26Department has not been correctly reported the Department shall

 

 

HB2801 Engrossed- 12 -LRB100 09030 HLH 19178 b

1fix an amount for such receipt, sales, export, use, loss or
2destruction according to its best judgment and information,
3which amount so fixed by the Department shall be prima facie
4correct. All returns shall be made on forms prepared and
5furnished by the Department, and shall contain such other
6information as the Department may reasonably require. The
7return must be accompanied by appropriate computer-generated
8magnetic media supporting schedule data in the format required
9by the Department, unless, as provided by rule, the Department
10grants an exception upon petition of a taxpayer. All licensed
11distributors shall report all losses of motor fuel sustained on
12account of fire, theft, spillage, spoilage, leakage, or any
13other provable cause when filing the return for the period
14during which the loss occurred. If the distributor reports
15losses due to fire or theft, then the distributor must include
16fire department or police department reports and any other
17documentation that the Department may require. The mere making
18of the report does not assure the allowance of the loss as a
19reduction in tax liability. Losses of motor fuel as the result
20of evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature variations may
21not exceed 1% of the total gallons in storage at the beginning
22of the month, plus the receipts of gallonage during the month,
23minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the end of the
24month. Any loss reported that is in excess of 1% shall be
25subject to the tax imposed by Section 2 of this Law. On and
26after July 1, 2001, for each 6-month period January through

 

 

HB2801 Engrossed- 13 -LRB100 09030 HLH 19178 b

1June, net losses of motor fuel (for each category of motor fuel
2that is required to be reported on a return) as the result of
3evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature variations may not
4exceed 1% of the total gallons in storage at the beginning of
5each January, plus the receipts of gallonage each January
6through June, minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the
7end of each June. On and after July 1, 2001, for each 6-month
8period July through December, net losses of motor fuel (for
9each category of motor fuel that is required to be reported on
10a return) as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to
11temperature variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons
12in storage at the beginning of each July, plus the receipts of
13gallonage each July through December, minus the gallonage
14remaining in storage at the end of each December. Any net loss
15reported that is in excess of this amount shall be subject to
16the tax imposed by Section 2 of this Law. For purposes of this
17Section, "net loss" means the number of gallons gained through
18temperature variations minus the number of gallons lost through
19temperature variations or evaporation for each of the
20respective 6-month periods.
