1and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division that: (A) is
2a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
3converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
4camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
5living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
6configuration designed for the transportation of not less than
77 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle
8weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor vehicle
9of the first division, and on and after January 1, 2021, for
10any leased item of tangible personal property, other than
11computer software and property subject to the Rental Purchase
12Agreement Occupation and Use Tax Act, "selling price" or
13"amount of sale" means the consideration received by the lessor
14pursuant to the lease contract, including amounts due at lease
15signing and all monthly or other regular payments charged over
16the term of the lease. Also included in the selling price is
17any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the
18leased vehicle or other leased property that is not calculated
19at the time the lease is executed, including, but not limited
20to, excess mileage charges and charges for excess wear and
21tear. For sales that occur in Illinois, with respect to any
22amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased
23vehicle or other leased property that is not calculated at the
24time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the motor
25vehicle or other leased property does not incur the tax imposed
26by the Use Tax Act on those amounts, and the retailer who makes

 

 

SB3352- 7 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1the retail sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor is not
2required to collect the tax imposed by this Act or to pay the
3tax imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act on those
4amounts. However, the lessor who purchased the motor vehicle or
5other leased property assumes the liability for reporting and
6paying the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in
7the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local
8retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the
9retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the retailer
10had accounted for the tax to the Department. For amounts
11received by the lessor from the lessee that are not calculated
12at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must file the
13return and pay the tax to the Department by the due date
14otherwise required by this Act for returns other than
15transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled under this Act
16to a discount for collecting and remitting the tax imposed
17under this Act to the Department with respect to the sale of
18the motor vehicle or other leased property to the lessor, then
19the right to the discount provided in this Act shall be
20transferred to the lessor with respect to the tax paid by the
21lessor for any amount received by the lessor from the lessee
22for the leased vehicle or other leased property that is not
23calculated at the time the lease is executed; provided that the
24discount is only allowed if the return is timely filed and for
25amounts timely paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle
26that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of

 

 

SB3352- 8 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1leasing for a defined period of longer than one year shall not
2be reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in
3tangible personal property owned by the lessor, nor shall it be
4reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in tangible
5personal property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether
6the trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the
7lessor. In the case of a motor vehicle that is sold for the
8purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one
9year, the sale occurs at the time of the delivery of the
10vehicle, regardless of the due date of any lease payments. A
11lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the
12sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit
13against that liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the
14purchase of the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid
15with respect to any amount received by the lessor from the
16lessee for the leased vehicle that was not calculated at the
17time the lease was executed) if the selling price of the motor
18vehicle at the time of purchase was calculated using the
19definition of "selling price" as defined in this paragraph.
20Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
21contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make all payments
22required under this paragraph to the Department by electronic
23means in the manner and form as required by the Department.
24This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor vehicles for
25which, at the time the lease is entered into, the term of the
26lease is not a defined period, including leases with a defined

 

 

SB3352- 9 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1initial period with the option to continue the lease on a
2month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial defined
3period.
4    The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
5construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
6vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
7agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
8agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
9which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
10retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
11occasional sale.
12    "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
13    "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
14association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
15private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
16executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed
17by order of any court.
18    "Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the
19business of making sales at retail as defined in this Section.
20    A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
21(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
22property at retail is a retailer hereunder with respect to such
23sales (and not primarily in a service occupation)
24notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
25such tangible personal property on special order for the
26purchaser and in such a way as to render the property of value

 

 

SB3352- 10 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal property so
2produced on special order serves substantially the same
3function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
4property that are sold at retail.
5    A person whose activities are organized and conducted
6primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
7engages in selling tangible personal property at retail
8(whether to the public or merely to members and their guests)
9is a retailer with respect to such transactions, excepting only
10a person organized and operated exclusively for charitable,
11religious or educational purposes either (1), to the extent of
12sales by such person to its members, students, patients or
13inmates of tangible personal property to be used primarily for
14the purposes of such person, or (2), to the extent of sales by
15such person of tangible personal property which is not sold or
16offered for sale by persons organized for profit. The selling
17of school books and school supplies by schools at retail to
18students is not "primarily for the purposes of" the school
19which does such selling. This paragraph does not apply to nor
20subject to taxation occasional dinners, social or similar
21activities of a person organized and operated exclusively for
22charitable, religious or educational purposes, whether or not
23such activities are open to the public.
24    A person who is the recipient of a grant or contract under
25Title VII of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (P.L. 92-258) and
26serves meals to participants in the federal Nutrition Program

 

 

SB3352- 11 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1for the Elderly in return for contributions established in
2amount by the individual participant pursuant to a schedule of
3suggested fees as provided for in the federal Act is not a
4retailer under this Act with respect to such transactions.
5    Persons who engage in the business of transferring tangible
6personal property upon the redemption of trading stamps are
7retailers hereunder when engaged in such business.
8    The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
9property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
10being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
11such tangible personal property at retail or a sale through a
12bulk vending machine does not make such person a retailer
13hereunder. However, any person who is engaged in a business
14which is not subject to the tax imposed by the Retailers'
15Occupation Tax Act because of involving the sale of or a
16contract to sell real estate or a construction contract to
17improve real estate, but who, in the course of conducting such
18business, transfers tangible personal property to users or
19consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and
20which does not become real estate, under any provision of a
21construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
22agreement entered into with some other person arising out of or
23because of such nontaxable business, is a retailer to the
24extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
25transferred. If, in such transaction, a separate charge is made
26for the tangible personal property so transferred, the value of

 

 

SB3352- 12 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the amount so
2separately charged, but not less than the cost of such property
3to the transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of
4such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost to the
5transferor of such tangible personal property.
6    "Retailer maintaining a place of business in this State",
7or any like term, means and includes any of the following
8retailers:
9        (1) A retailer having or maintaining within this State,
10    directly or by a subsidiary, an office, distribution house,
11    sales house, warehouse or other place of business, or any

13    under the authority of the retailer or its subsidiary,
14    irrespective of whether such place of business or agent or
15    other representative is located here permanently or
16    temporarily, or whether such retailer or subsidiary is
17    licensed to do business in this State. However, the
18    ownership of property that is located at the premises of a
19    printer with which the retailer has contracted for printing
20    and that consists of the final printed product, property
21    that becomes a part of the final printed product, or copy
22    from which the printed product is produced shall not result

24    distribution house, sales house, warehouse, or other place
25    of business within this State.

3    tangible personal property by the retailer, directly or
4    indirectly refers potential customers to the retailer by

6    other mechanism that allows the retailer to track purchases
7    referred by such persons. Examples of mechanisms that allow
8    the retailer to track purchases referred by such persons
9    include but are not limited to the use of a link on the
10    person's Internet website, promotional codes distributed
11    through the person's hand-delivered or mailed material,
12    and promotional codes distributed by the person through
13    radio or other broadcast media. The provisions of this
14    paragraph (1.1) shall apply only if the cumulative gross
15    receipts from sales of tangible personal property by the
16    retailer to customers who are referred to the retailer by
17    all persons in this State under such contracts exceed
18    $10,000 during the preceding 4 quarterly periods ending on
19    the last day of March, June, September, and December. A
20    retailer meeting the requirements of this paragraph (1.1)
21    shall be presumed to be maintaining a place of business in
22    this State but may rebut this presumption by submitting
23    proof that the referrals or other activities pursued within
24    this State by such persons were not sufficient to meet the
25    nexus standards of the United States Constitution during
26    the preceding 4 quarterly periods.

3    Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, for any motor
4vehicle, as defined in Section 1-146 of the Vehicle Code, that
5is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing
6the vehicle for a defined period that is longer than one year
7and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division that: (A) is
8a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
9converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
10camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
11living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
12configuration designed for the transportation of not less than
137 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle
14weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor vehicle
15of the first division, and on and after January 1, 2021, for
16any leased item of tangible personal property, other than
17computer software and property subject to the Rental Purchase
18Agreement Occupation and Use Tax Act, "selling price" or
19"amount of sale" means the consideration received by the lessor
20pursuant to the lease contract, including amounts due at lease
21signing and all monthly or other regular payments charged over
22the term of the lease. Also included in the selling price is
23any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the
24leased vehicle or other leased property that is not calculated
25at the time the lease is executed, including, but not limited
26to, excess mileage charges and charges for excess wear and

 

 

SB3352- 43 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1tear. For sales that occur in Illinois, with respect to any
2amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased
3vehicle or other leased property that is not calculated at the
4time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the motor
5vehicle or other leased property does not incur the tax imposed
6by the Use Tax Act on those amounts, and the retailer who makes
7the retail sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor is not
8required to collect the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to
9pay the tax imposed by this Act on those amounts. However, the
10lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the liability
11for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts directly to
12the Department in the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation
13Tax, and local retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in
14which the retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the
15retailer had accounted for the tax to the Department. For
16amounts received by the lessor from the lessee that are not
17calculated at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must
18file the return and pay the tax to the Department by the due
19date otherwise required by this Act for returns other than
20transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled under this Act
21to a discount for collecting and remitting the tax imposed
22under this Act to the Department with respect to the sale of
23the motor vehicle or other leased property to the lessor, then
24the right to the discount provided in this Act shall be
25transferred to the lessor with respect to the tax paid by the
26lessor for any amount received by the lessor from the lessee

 

 

SB3352- 44 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1for the leased vehicle or other leased property that is not
2calculated at the time the lease is executed; provided that the
3discount is only allowed if the return is timely filed and for
4amounts timely paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle
5that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of
6leasing for a defined period of longer than one year shall not
7be reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in
8tangible personal property owned by the lessor, nor shall it be
9reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in tangible
10personal property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether
11the trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the
12lessor. In the case of a motor vehicle that is sold for the
13purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one
14year, the sale occurs at the time of the delivery of the
15vehicle, regardless of the due date of any lease payments. A
16lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the
17sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit
18against that liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the
19purchase of the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid
20with respect to any amount received by the lessor from the
21lessee for the leased vehicle that was not calculated at the
22time the lease was executed) if the selling price of the motor
23vehicle at the time of purchase was calculated using the
24definition of "selling price" as defined in this paragraph.
25Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
26contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make all payments

 

 

SB3352- 45 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1required under this paragraph to the Department by electronic
2means in the manner and form as required by the Department.
3This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor vehicles for
4which, at the time the lease is entered into, the term of the
5lease is not a defined period, including leases with a defined
6initial period with the option to continue the lease on a
7month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial defined
8period.
9    The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
10construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
11vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
12agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
13agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
14which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
15retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
16occasional sale.
17    "Gross receipts" from the sales of tangible personal
18property at retail means the total selling price or the amount
19of such sales, as hereinbefore defined. In the case of charge
20and time sales, the amount thereof shall be included only as
21and when payments are received by the seller. Receipts or other
22consideration derived by a seller from the sale, transfer or
23assignment of accounts receivable to a wholly owned subsidiary
24will not be deemed payments prior to the time the purchaser
25makes payment on such accounts.
26    "Department" means the Department of Revenue.

3private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,

7property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
8being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
9such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
10bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
11business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
12within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is
13engaged in a business which is not subject to the tax imposed
14by this Act because of involving the sale of or a contract to
15sell real estate or a construction contract to improve real
16estate or a construction contract to engineer, install, and
17maintain an integrated system of products, but who, in the
18course of conducting such business, transfers tangible
19personal property to users or consumers in the finished form in
20which it was purchased, and which does not become real estate
21or was not engineered and installed, under any provision of a
22construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
23agreement entered into with some other person arising out of or
24because of such nontaxable business, is engaged in the business
25of selling tangible personal property at retail to the extent
26of the value of the tangible personal property so transferred.

 

 

SB3352- 47 -LRB101 18615 HLH 70058 b

1If, in such a transaction, a separate charge is made for the
2tangible personal property so transferred, the value of such
3property, for the purpose of this Act, shall be the amount so
4separately charged, but not less than the cost of such property
5to the transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of
6such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost to the
7transferor of such tangible personal property. Construction
8contracts for the improvement of real estate consisting of
9engineering, installation, and maintenance of voice, data,
10video, security, and all telecommunication systems do not
11constitute engaging in a business of selling tangible personal
12property at retail within the meaning of this Act if they are
13sold at one specified contract price.
14    A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
15(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
16property at retail is a person engaged in the business of
17selling tangible personal property at retail hereunder with
18respect to such sales (and not primarily in a service
19occupation) notwithstanding the fact that such person designs
20and produces such tangible personal property on special order
21for the purchaser and in such a way as to render the property
22of value only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal
23property so produced on special order serves substantially the
24same function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
25property that are sold at retail.
