12Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
13either the selling price or the fair market value, if any, of
14the tangible personal property. In all cases where property

17price of the property. In all cases where property functionally
18used or consumed is a by-product or waste product that has been

1or on the selling price of the property purchased at retail.
2For purposes of this Section "fair market value" means the
3price at which property would change hands between a willing
4buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion
5to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the
6relevant facts. The fair market value shall be established by
7Illinois sales by the taxpayer of the same property as that

21proceeds of sales made on or after July 1, 2003 and on or
22before July 1, 2017, and (iii) 100% of the proceeds of sales
23made thereafter. If, at any time, however, the tax under this

2average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
3the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
4Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the

20payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
21actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
22liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
23the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
24or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
25payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
26actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's

 

 

HB2955- 13 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
2the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
3or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
4begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
5amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
6the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
7calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
8such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,

17requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
18Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
19monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
20complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
21liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
22$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
23the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
24preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
25$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
26substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred

 

 

HB2955- 14 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
2monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
3will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
4taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
5taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
6applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
7payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
8average monthly liability to the Department during the
9preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
10highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
11than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
12to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
134 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
14$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
15substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
16which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
17monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
18will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
19taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
20taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
21taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
22seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
23quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
24amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
25liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
26minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly

 

 

HB2955- 15 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
2taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
3Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
4provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
5rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
6amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
7on other than a calendar monthly basis.
8    If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
9the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
10Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
11Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
12the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
13no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
14memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
15in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
16taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
17similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
18Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
19in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
20prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
21payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
22after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
23unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
24the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
25liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
26Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,

 

 

HB2955- 16 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
2accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
3the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
4all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
5taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
6be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
7credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
8liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
9    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly

11the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
12authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
13with the return for January, February, and March of a given
14year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
15April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such

17year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
18for October, November and December of a given year being due by
19January 20 of the following year.
20    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
21quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
22liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
23may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
24the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the

26    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and

 

 

HB2955- 17 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
2returns.
3    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
4the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
5case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
6which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
7such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
8Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
9business.
10    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
11aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
12an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
13Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
14property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
15prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
16for each such item of tangible personal property which the
17retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
18retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
19transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
20trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
21trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
22of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
23more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
24to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
25provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
26report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor

 

 

HB2955- 18 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
2Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
3return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a
4Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
53-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
6watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
7    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
8aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
9an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
10business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
11connection with such business, sells any such item to a
12retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
13other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
14meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the
15transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
16trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
17Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
18return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
19month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
20other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
21under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
22manner and form as required by the Department.
23    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
24vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
25agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
26Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle

1Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
2and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
3including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
4property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
5traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
6which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
7of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
8trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
9tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
10amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
11such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
12due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
13fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
14identification of the property sold; such other information as
15is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
16such other information as the Department may reasonably
17require.
18    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
19and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
20name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
21price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
22traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
23for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
24extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
25the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
26deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;

 

 

HB2955- 20 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
2transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
3the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
4such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
5claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
6sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
7information as the Department may reasonably require.
8    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
9than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
10being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
11than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
12return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
13that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
14Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
15officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
16titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
17if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
18that this procedure will expedite the processing of
19applications for title or registration.
20    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
21shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
22satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
23the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
24Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
25(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
26that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser

 

 

HB2955- 21 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
2whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
3that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
4support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
5certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
6tangible personal property.
7    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
8Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
9retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
10evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
11is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
12paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
13Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
14mandate of this paragraph.
15    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
16wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
17tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
18retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
19paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
20of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
21being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
22the information required by the transaction reporting return
23and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
24the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
25determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
26and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be

 

 

HB2955- 22 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
2with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
3provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
4the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
5same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
6if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
7    Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
8selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
9the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
10property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
11the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
12purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
13his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
14purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
15refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
16such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
17Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
18to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
19such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
20amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
21deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
22purchaser.
23    Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
24include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
25covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
26personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,

 

 

HB2955- 23 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
2from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
3remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
4return.
5    If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
6Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
7return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
8returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
9Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
10Acts on the one form.
11    Where the retailer has more than one business registered
12with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
13such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
14return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
15separate returns for each such registered business.
16    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
17pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
18fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net

15requirements of this Section.
16    If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
17return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
18the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may

17    Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
18selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
19thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
20selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
21also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
22purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
23refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
24the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
25any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'

14Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
15return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
16returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
17Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
18Acts on the one form.
19    Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
20with the Department under separate registration hereunder,
21such serviceman shall not file each return that is due as a

3fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient

1than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
2return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
3Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
4the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
5tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
6titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
7agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
8expedite the processing of applications for title or
9registration.
10    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
11shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
12satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
13the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
14Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
15receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
16satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
17purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
18with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
19property that is involved (if titling or registration is
20required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
21Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
22to such tangible personal property.
23    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
24Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
25retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
26evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration

 

 

HB2955- 100 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
2paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
3Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
4mandate of this paragraph.
5    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
6wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
7the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
8retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
9paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
10of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
11being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
12the information required by the transaction reporting return
13and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
14the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
15determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
16and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
17credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
18with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
19provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
20the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
21same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
22if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
23    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
24period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
25returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
26subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case

 

 

HB2955- 101 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
2receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
3return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
4with respect to such receipts.
5    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
6behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
7vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
8accredited agent of such corporation.
9    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
10filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
11signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
12the limited liability company.
13    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
14return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
15return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
16Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
17on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
18whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
19retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
20preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
21data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
22to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
23which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
24retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
25transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
26shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when

 

 

HB2955- 102 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
2under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
3in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow
4the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is
5revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
6Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
7registration has become final.
8    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
9tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
10Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
11Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
12remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
13or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
14shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
15day of the month next following the month during which such tax
16liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
17on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
18during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
191, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
20Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
21Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
22liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
23with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
24preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
25with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
26next following the month during which such tax liability is

 

 

HB2955- 103 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
2the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
3liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
4liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
5payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
7Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
8of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
9calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
10the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
11month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
12after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
13payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
14actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
15liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
16the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
17or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
18payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
19actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
20liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
21the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
22or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
23begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
24amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
25the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
26calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which

 

 

HB2955- 104 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
21989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
3amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
4the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
5calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
7amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
8against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
9that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
10requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
11Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
12of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
13shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
14to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
15quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
16month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
17taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
18computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
19calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
20taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
21the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
22to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
23reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
24threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
25Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
26and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of

 

 

HB2955- 105 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
2taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
3more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
4until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
5Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
6(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
7lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
8average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
9each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
10quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
11show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
12business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
13that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
14foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
15above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
16change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
17shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
18that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
19long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
20the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
21taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
22difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
23amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
24paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
25payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
26minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.

 

 

HB2955- 106 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
2govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
3payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
4monthly basis.
5    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
62001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
7quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
8is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
9prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
10excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
11calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
12required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
13Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
14month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
15during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
16September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
17each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
18taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
19during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
20January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
2122.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
22of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
23preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
24liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
25payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
26actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's

 

 

HB2955- 107 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
2The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
3against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
4that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
5may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
6quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
7paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
8prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
9calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
10monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
11required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
12interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
13previously made payments for that month in excess of the
14minimum payments previously due.
15    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
161, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
17make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
18who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
19prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
20excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
21calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
22required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
23Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
24month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
25shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
26liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for

 

 

HB2955- 108 -LRB101 07500 AXK 52543 b

1the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
2the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
3final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
4filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
5Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
6monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
7shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
8collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
9(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
10lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
11average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
12each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
13quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
14payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
15taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
16difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
17payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
18previously due.
19    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
20taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
21Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
22shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
23requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
24memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
25credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
26the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax

1Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
2in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
3prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
4taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
5subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
6the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
7Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
8regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
9subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
10taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
11and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
12of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
13due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
14interest on such difference.
15    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
16Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
17to the Department under this Act for the month which the
18taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
19taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
20    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
