SB2058LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1    AN ACT concerning revenue.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section 9
5as follows:
 
6    (35 ILCS 105/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
7    Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
8and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
9of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
10the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
11amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
12when he is required to file his return for the period during
13which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
14January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
15per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
16reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
17tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
18the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. On and
19after January 1, 1990 and prior to January 1, 2020, in no event
20shall the discount allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any
21calendar year. On and after January 1, 2020, in no event shall
22the discount allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any

SB2058- 2 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25%
2portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the
3revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
447133. In the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
5transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this Section,
6such discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance
7instead of when such retailer files his periodic return. The
8discount allowed under this Section is allowed only for
9returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act. The
10Department may disallow the discount for retailers whose
11certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return
12is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the
13certificate of registration has become final. A retailer need
14not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
15that he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by
16the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of
17the same property.
18    Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
19conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
20wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
21extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
22filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
23vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
24to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
25each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
26the selling price actually received during such tax return

2    Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
3twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
4a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall
5be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall
6furnish such information as the Department may reasonably
7require. On and after January 1, 2018, except for returns for
8motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are
9required to be registered with an agency of this State, with
10respect to retailers whose annual gross receipts average
11$20,000 or more, all returns required to be filed pursuant to
12this Act shall be filed electronically. Retailers who
13demonstrate that they do not have access to the Internet or
14demonstrate hardship in filing electronically may petition the
15Department to waive the electronic filing requirement.
16    The Department may require returns to be filed on a
17quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
18quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
19calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
20taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
21of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
22the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:

11    may require.
12    Each retailer required or authorized to collect the tax
13imposed by this Act on aviation fuel sold at retail in this
14State during the preceding calendar month shall, instead of
15reporting and paying tax on aviation fuel as otherwise
16required by this Section, report and pay such tax on a separate
17aviation fuel tax return. The requirements related to the
18return shall be as otherwise provided in this Section.
19Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the
20contrary, retailers collecting tax on aviation fuel shall file

23tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
24Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the
25Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4

2following the month during which such tax liability is
3incurred and shall make payments to the Department on or
4before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
5which such liability is incurred. On and after October 1,
62000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the

8the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was
9$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar

18or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
19average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department

21month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
22in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
23liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and
24prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount

1calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
2which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
3January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
4shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
5liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability

12the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
13liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
14prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
15equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
16month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
17month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
18liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
19of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
20final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
21Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
22the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
23continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
24the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
25quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
26month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such

 

 

SB2058- 9 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
2computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
3calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
4taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
5the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
6to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
7reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
8threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
9Department for change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
10and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
11the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
12continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
13the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
14quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
15month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
16taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
17computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
18calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
19taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
20the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
21to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
22reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
23threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
24Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
25The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
26unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not

 

 

SB2058- 10 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is
2not paid at the time or in the amount required by this Section,
3then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
4on the difference between the minimum amount due and the
5amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
6paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
7payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
8minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
9The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
10govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
11payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
12monthly basis.
13    If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
14the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
15Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
16Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
17the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
18no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
19memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
20in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
21taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
22similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
23Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
24in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
25prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
26payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made

 

 

SB2058- 11 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
2unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
3the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
4liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
5Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
6the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
7accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
8the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
9all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
10taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
11be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
12credit taken and that actually due multiplied by the vendor
13discount amount, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
14penalties and interest on such difference.
15    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
16return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
17the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
18authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
19with the return for January, February, and March of a given
20year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
21April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
22such year; with the return for July, August and September of a
23given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
24return for October, November and December of a given year
25being due by January 20 of the following year.
26    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or

 

 

SB2058- 12 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
2liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
3Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
4basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
5of the following year.
6    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
7substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
8monthly returns.
9    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
10the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
11case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
12which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
13such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
14Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
15business.
16    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
17aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
18an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
19Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
20property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
21prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
22for each such item of tangible personal property which the
23retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
24retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
25transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
26trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or

 

 

SB2058- 13 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
2of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
3more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
4to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
5provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
6report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
7vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
8Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
9return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means
10a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
113-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
12watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
13    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
14aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
15an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
16business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
17connection with such business, sells any such item to a
18retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
19other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
20meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
21the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
22or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
23Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
24return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
25month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
26other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed

 

 

SB2058- 14 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
2manner and form as required by the Department.
3    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
4vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
5an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
6Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
7Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
8the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
9selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
10traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
11for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
12extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
13the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
14deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
15price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
16such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
17purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
18evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
19if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
20sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
21other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the

SB2058- 15 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
2traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
3for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
4extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for

6deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
7price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to

12sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
13such other information as the Department may reasonably

17being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
18than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
19return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
20that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
21Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
22officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
23titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
24if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
25that this procedure will expedite the processing of
26applications for title or registration.

 

 

SB2058- 16 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

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

 

 

SB2058- 17 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
2being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
3the information required by the transaction reporting return
4and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
5the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
6determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
7and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
8credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
9with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
10provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
11the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
12same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
13if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
14    Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
15selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
16the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
17property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
18the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
19purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
20filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
21to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax
22so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax
23which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
24Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
25to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
26such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the

 

 

SB2058- 18 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
2deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
3purchaser.
4    Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
5include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
6covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
7personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
8but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
9from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
10remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
11return.
12    If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
13Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
14return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
15returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
16Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
17Acts on the one form.
18    Where the retailer has more than one business registered
19with the Department under separate registration under this
20Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
21single return covering all such registered businesses, but
22shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

15    Section 15. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by changing
16Section 9 as follows:
 
17    (35 ILCS 110/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
18    Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
19the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
20of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
21is required to file his return for the period during which such
22tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
231990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
24year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the

 

 

SB2058- 35 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting the tax,
2keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the
3tax and supplying data to the Department on request. On and
4after January 1, 1990 and prior to January 1, 2020, in no event
5shall the discount allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any
6calendar year. On and after January 1, 2020, in no event shall
7the discount allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any
8calendar year or more than $1,000 in any calendar year. The
9discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25%
10portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the
11revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
1247133. The discount allowed under this Section is allowed only
13for returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act.
14The Department may disallow the discount for servicemen whose
15certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return
16is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the
17certificate of registration has become final. A serviceman
18need not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the
19extent that he is required to pay and does pay the tax imposed
20by the Service Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of
21service involving the incidental transfer by him of the same
22property.
23    Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
24before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
25serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
26month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to

1be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed
2on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
3information as the Department may reasonably require. On and
4after January 1, 2018, with respect to servicemen whose annual
5gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all returns required
6to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be filed
7electronically. Servicemen who demonstrate that they do not
8have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing
9electronically may petition the Department to waive the
10electronic filing requirement.
11    The Department may require returns to be filed on a
12quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
13quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
14calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
15taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
16of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
17the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
18        1. The name of the seller;
19        2. The address of the principal place of business from
20    which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
21    State;
22        3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
23    him during the preceding calendar month, including
24    receipts from charge and time sales, but less all
25    deductions allowed by law;
26        4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this

1    Act;
2        5. The amount of tax due;
3        5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
4        6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
5    may require.
6    Each serviceman required or authorized to collect the tax
7imposed by this Act on aviation fuel transferred as an
8incident of a sale of service in this State during the
9preceding calendar month shall, instead of reporting and
10paying tax on aviation fuel as otherwise required by this
11Section, report and pay such tax on a separate aviation fuel
12tax return. The requirements related to the return shall be as
13otherwise provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other
14provisions of this Act to the contrary, servicemen collecting
15tax on aviation fuel shall file all aviation fuel tax returns
16and shall make all aviation fuel tax payments by electronic
17means in the manner and form required by the Department. For
18purposes of this Section, "aviation fuel" means jet fuel and
19aviation gasoline.
20    If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
21the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
22the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
23due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
24    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
25contrary, servicemen subject to tax on cannabis shall file all

16liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
17under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
18and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
19immediately preceding calendar year. The term "average monthly
20tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
21under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
22and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
23immediately preceding calendar year divided by 12. Beginning
24on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax liability in the
25amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the
26Department of Revenue Law shall make all payments required by

 

 

SB2058- 39 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.

3Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
4payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
5to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
6payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
7    Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
8funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
9with the permission of the Department.
10    All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
11transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
12payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
13payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
14    The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
15effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
16requirements of this Section.
17    If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
18return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability
19to the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
20authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
21with the return for January, February and March of a given year
22being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
23May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;

SB2058- 40 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1January 20 of the following year.
2    If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
3or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly
4tax liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
5Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
6basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
7of the following year.
8    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
9substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
10monthly returns.
11    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
12the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
13case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
14business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
15this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
16Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
17discontinuing such business.
18    Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
19selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
20thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds
21the selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
22shall also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from
23the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which
24he refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may
25deduct the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the

16return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
17returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
18Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
19Acts on the one form.
20    Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
21with the Department under separate registration hereunder,

3liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
4transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
5required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
6monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
7be required to file returns on an annual basis.
8    The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor

2Department may reasonably require.
3    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
4or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
5name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
6price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
7traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer

20    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
21than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
22being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
23than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting

26the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the

 

 

SB2058- 94 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

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

 

 

SB2058- 95 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

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

 

 

SB2058- 96 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1with respect to such receipts.
2    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
3behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
4vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
5accredited agent of such corporation.
6    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
7return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
8be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
9of the limited liability company.
10    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
11the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
12return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
13Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
14on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
15whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
16retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
17preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
18data to the Department on request. On and after January 1, 1990
19and prior to January 1, 2020, in no event shall the discount
20allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any calendar year. On
21and after January 1, 2020, in no event shall the discount
22allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any calendar year or
23more than $1,000 in any calendar year. The discount under this
24Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on
25aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use requirements
26of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made

 

 

SB2058- 97 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
2amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the
3case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
4by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
5discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
6of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount
7allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that
8are filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department
9may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
10registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
11only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
12registration has become final.
13    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
14tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
15Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
16Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be

8last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
9If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
10prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
11equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
12or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
13average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
14for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the

6the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
7liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
8prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
9equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
10month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
11month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
12liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
13of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
14final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
15Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
16the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
17taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000

SB2058- 100 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
2to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
3reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
4threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
5Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
6On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement

14taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
15computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
16calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
17taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
18the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
19to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
20reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
21threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
22Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
23The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
24unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
25likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is
26not paid at the time or in the amount required by this Section,

 

 

SB2058- 101 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
2on the difference between the minimum amount due as a payment
3and the amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and
4timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
5made payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
6minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
7The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
8govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
9payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
10monthly basis.
11    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
122001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
13quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
14is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
15prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
16excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
17calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
18required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
19Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
20month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
21during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
22September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
23each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
24taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
25during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
26January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to

 

 

SB2058- 102 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

122.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
227.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
3of the preceding calendar year. If the month during which such
4tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987,
5each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
6taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the
7taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
8preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
9shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
10taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
11Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
12requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
13Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
14such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
15the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less.
16If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
17in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
18penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as
19the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
20excess of the minimum payments previously due.
21    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
22October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
23required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
24any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
25collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
26taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the

 

 

SB2058- 103 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
2with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
3payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
4last day of the month during which the liability is incurred.
5Each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
6taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
7taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
8preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
9shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
10taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
11Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
12requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
13Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
14taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
15preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
16highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
17than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
18liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
19quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
20than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
21at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
22liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
23insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
24month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
25    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
26taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the

 

 

SB2058- 104 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
2shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
3requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
4memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
5credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
6the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
7Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
8in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
9prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
10taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
11subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
12the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
13Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
14regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
15subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
16taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
172.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or
181.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
19actually due multiplied by the vendor discount amount, and
20that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on
21such difference.
22    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
23Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
24to the Department under this Act for the month which the
25taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
26taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

9shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
10the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
11equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act

14    Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
15collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
16paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
17overpayment of liability.
18    For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
19importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
20Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
21assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
22Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to
23such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make
24written objection to the Department to this arrangement.

21Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
22the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
23payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
24impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
25significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
26exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence

18monthly volume of cigarette stamps purchased by the
19distributor in calendar year 2018. This payment, less the

9election are not entitled to take the discount provided in
10subsection (l) on such payments.
11    (i) Any retailer having cigarettes in its possession on
12July 1, 2019 to which tax stamps have been affixed is not
13required to pay the additional tax that begins on July 1, 2019
14imposed by this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly
15on those stamped cigarettes.
16    (j) Distributors making sales of cigarettes to secondary
17distributors shall add the amount of the tax to the price of
18the cigarettes sold by the distributors. Secondary
19distributors making sales of cigarettes to retailers shall
20include the amount of the tax in the price of the cigarettes
21sold to retailers. The amount of tax shall not be less than the
22amount of taxes imposed by the State and all local
23jurisdictions. The amount of local taxes shall be calculated

10provided under paragraph (a) hereof, and, to cover the costs
11of such collection, shall be allowed a discount during any
12year commencing July 1st and ending the following June 30th in

14discount shall be allowed at the time of purchase of the stamps
15when purchase is required by this Act, or at the time when the
16tax is remitted to the Department without the purchase of
17stamps from the Department when that method of paying the tax

22stamp or stamps by virtue of the Cigarette Tax Act, however,
23and no tax imprint need be placed underneath the sealed

2payments verified by the Department against amounts
3subsequently due for the purchase of additional stamps, until

8Act, 15 U.S.C. 1331 and following, for the placement of
9labels, warnings, or any other information upon a package of
10cigarettes that is sold within the United States. Under the
11authority of Section 6, the Department shall revoke the
12license of any distributor that is determined to have violated
13this paragraph. A person may not affix a stamp on a package of
14cigarettes, cigarette papers, wrappers, or tubes if that
15individual package has been marked for export outside the
16United States with a label or notice in compliance with
17Section 290.185 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal

1distributor may apply a tax stamp only to an original package
2of cigarettes purchased or obtained directly from an in-state
3maker, manufacturer, or fabricator licensed as a distributor
4under Section 4 of this Act or an out-of-state maker,
5manufacturer, or fabricator holding a permit under Section 7
6of this Act. A licensed distributor may ship or otherwise
7cause to be delivered unstamped original packages of
8cigarettes in, into, or from this State. A licensed
9distributor may transport unstamped original packages of
10cigarettes to a facility, wherever located, owned or
11controlled by such distributor; however, a distributor may not
12transport unstamped original packages of cigarettes to a
13facility where retail sales of cigarettes take place or to a
14facility where a secondary distributor makes sales for resale.
15Any licensed distributor that ships or otherwise causes to be
16delivered unstamped original packages of cigarettes into,
17within, or from this State shall ensure that the invoice or
18equivalent documentation and the bill of lading or freight
19bill for the shipment identifies the true name and address of
20the consignor or seller, the true name and address of the
21consignee or purchaser, and the quantity by brand style of the
22cigarettes so transported, provided that this Section shall
23not be construed as to impose any requirement or liability
24upon any common or contract carrier.
25    Distributors making sales of cigarettes to secondary
26distributors shall add the amount of the tax to the price of

 

 

SB2058- 135 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1the cigarettes sold by the distributors. Secondary
2distributors making sales of cigarettes to retailers shall
3include the amount of the tax in the price of the cigarettes
4sold to retailers. The amount of tax shall not be less than the
5amount of taxes imposed by the State and all local
6jurisdictions. The amount of local taxes shall be calculated
7based on the location of the retailer's place of business
8shown on the retailer's certificate of registration or
9sub-registration issued to the retailer pursuant to Section 2a
10of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. The original packages of
11cigarettes sold by the retailer shall bear all the required
12stamps, or other indicia, for the taxes included in the price
13of cigarettes.
14    Stamps, when required hereunder, shall be purchased from

18Department may refuse to sell stamps to any person who does not
19comply with the provisions of this Act. Beginning on June 6,
202002 and through June 30, 2002, persons holding valid licenses
21as distributors may purchase cigarette tax stamps up to an
22amount equal to 115% of the distributor's average monthly
23cigarette tax stamp purchases over the 12 calendar months
24prior to June 6, 2002.

2to make payment for the stamps at the time of purchasing them
3with a draft which shall be in such form as the Department
4prescribes, and which shall be payable within 21 days
5thereafter: Provided that such distributor has filed with the
6Department, and has received the Department's approval of, a
7bond, which is in addition to the bond required under Section 4
8of this Act, payable to the Department in an amount equal to
980% of such distributor's average monthly tax liability to the
10Department under this Act during the preceding calendar year
11or $500,000, whichever is less. The bond shall be joint and
12several and shall be in the form of a surety company bond in
13such form as the Department prescribes, or it may be in the
14form of a bank certificate of deposit or bank letter of credit.
15The bond shall be conditioned upon the distributor's payment
16of the amount of any 21-day draft which the Department accepts
17from that distributor for the delivery of stamps to that
18distributor under this Act. The distributor's failure to pay
19any such draft, when due, shall also make such distributor
20automatically liable to the Department for a penalty equal to
2125% of the amount of such draft.
22    On and after December 1, 1985 and until July 1, 2003, the
23Department shall allow a distributor 30 days in which to make
24final payment of the amount to be paid for such stamps, by

8amount equal to 150% of such distributor's average monthly tax
9liability to the Department under this Act during the
10preceding calendar year or $750,000, whichever is less, except
11that as to bonds filed on or after January 1, 1987, such
12additional bond shall be in an amount equal to 100% of such
13distributor's average monthly tax liability under this Act
14during the preceding calendar year or $750,000, whichever is

19conditioned upon the distributor's payment of the amount of
20any 30-day draft which the Department accepts from that
21distributor for the delivery of stamps to that distributor
22under this Act. The distributor's failure to pay any such
23draft, when due, shall also make such distributor
24automatically liable to the Department for a penalty equal to

SB2058- 138 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1from all requirements under this Section concerning the
2furnishing of such bond, as defined in this Section, as a
3condition precedent to his being authorized to engage in the
4business licensed under this Act. This exemption shall
5continue for each such taxpayer until such time as he may be
6determined by the Department to be delinquent in the filing of
7any returns, or is determined by the Department (either
8through the Department's issuance of a final assessment which
9has become final under the Act, or by the taxpayer's filing of
10a return which admits tax to be due that is not paid) to be
11delinquent or deficient in the paying of any tax under this
12Act, at which time that taxpayer shall become subject to the
13bond requirements of this Section and, as a condition of being
14allowed to continue to engage in the business licensed under
15this Act, shall be required to furnish bond to the Department
16in such form as provided in this Section. Such taxpayer shall
17furnish such bond for a period of 2 years, after which, if the
18taxpayer has not been delinquent in the filing of any returns,
19or delinquent or deficient in the paying of any tax under this
20Act, the Department may reinstate such person as a prior
21continuance compliance taxpayer. Any taxpayer who fails to pay
22an admitted or established liability under this Act may also
23be required to post bond or other acceptable security with the
24Department guaranteeing the payment of such admitted or
25established liability.
26    Except as otherwise provided in this Section, any person

 

 

SB2058- 139 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1aggrieved by any decision of the Department under this Section
2may, within the time allowed by law, protest and request a
3hearing before the Department, whereupon the Department shall
4give notice and shall hold a hearing in conformity with the
5provisions of this Act and then issue its final administrative
6decision in the matter to such person. Effective July 1, 2013,
7protests concerning matters that are subject to the
8jurisdiction of the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal shall be
9filed in accordance with the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal
10Act of 2012, and hearings concerning those matters shall be
11held before the Tribunal in accordance with that Act. With
12respect to protests filed with the Department prior to July 1,
132013 that would otherwise be subject to the jurisdiction of
14the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal, the person filing the
15protest may elect to be subject to the provisions of the
16Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal Act of 2012 at any time on or
17after July 1, 2013, but not later than 30 days after the date
18on which the protest was filed. If made, the election shall be
19irrevocable. In the absence of such a protest filed within the
20time allowed by law, the Department's decision shall become
21final without any further determination being made or notice
22given.
23    The Department shall discharge any surety and shall
24release and return any bond or security deposited, assigned,
25pledged, or otherwise provided to it by a taxpayer under this
26Section within 30 days after:

 

 

SB2058- 140 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1        (1) such Taxpayer becomes a prior continuous
2    compliance taxpayer; or
3        (2) such taxpayer has ceased to collect receipts on
4    which he is required to remit tax to the Department, has
5    filed a final tax return, and has paid to the Department an
6    amount sufficient to discharge his remaining tax liability
7    as determined by the Department under this Act. The
8    Department shall make a final determination of the
9    taxpayer's outstanding tax liability as expeditiously as
10    possible after his final tax return has been filed. If the
11    Department cannot make such final determination within 45
12    days after receiving the final tax return, within such
13    period it shall so notify the taxpayer, stating its
14    reasons therefor.
15    At the time of purchasing such stamps from the Department
16when purchase is required by this Act, or at the time when the
17tax which he has collected is remitted by a distributor to the
18Department without the purchase of stamps from the Department
19when that method of remitting the tax that has been collected
20is required or authorized by this Act, the distributor shall
21be allowed a discount during any year commencing July 1 and
22ending the following June 30 in accordance with the schedule
23set out hereinbelow, from the amount to be paid by him to the
24Department for such stamps, or to be paid by him to the
25Department on the basis of monthly remittances (as the case
26may be), to cover the cost, to such distributor, of collecting

 

 

SB2058- 141 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1the tax herein imposed by affixing such stamps to the original
2packages of cigarettes sold by such distributor or by placing
3tax imprints underneath the sealed transparent wrapper of
4original packages of cigarettes sold by such distributor (as
5the case may be). : (1) Prior to December 1, 1985, a discount

9of tax or any part thereof, paid hereunder by such distributor
10to the Department during any such year; 1% of the next $700,000
11of tax, or any part thereof, paid hereunder by such

17this Act up to and including the first $3,000,000 paid
18hereunder by such distributor to the Department during any
19such year and 1.5% of the amount of any additional tax paid
20hereunder by such distributor to the Department during any
21such year. On and after January 1, 2020, the discount shall be
22equal to 1.75% of the tax paid by the distributor to the

1    Two or more distributors that use a common means of
2affixing revenue tax stamps or that are owned or controlled by
3the same interests shall be treated as a single distributor
4for the purpose of computing the discount.
5    Cigarette manufacturers who are distributors under Section
67(a) of this Act, and who place their cigarettes in original
7packages which are contained inside a sealed transparent
8wrapper, shall be required to remit the tax which they are
9required to collect under this Act to the Department by
10remitting the amount thereof to the Department by the 5th day
11of each month, covering cigarettes shipped or otherwise
12delivered to points in Illinois to purchasers during the
13preceding calendar month, but a distributor need not remit to
14the Department the tax so collected by him from purchasers
15under this Act to the extent to which such distributor is
16required to remit the tax imposed by the Cigarette Tax Act to
17the Department with respect to the same cigarettes. All taxes
18upon cigarettes under this Act are a direct tax upon the retail
19consumer and shall conclusively be presumed to be precollected
20for the purpose of convenience and facility only. Cigarette
21manufacturers that are distributors licensed under Section
227(a) of this Act and who place their cigarettes in original
23packages which are contained inside a sealed transparent
24wrapper, before delivering such cigarettes or causing such
25cigarettes to be delivered in this State to purchasers, shall

2prescribed by the Department on each original package of such
3cigarettes underneath the sealed transparent outside wrapper
4of such original package, in such place thereon and in such
5manner as the Department may prescribe; provided (as stated
6hereinbefore) that this requirement does not apply when such
7distributor is required or authorized by the Cigarette Tax Act
8to place the tax imprint provided for in the last paragraph of
9Section 3 of that Act underneath the sealed transparent
10wrapper of such original package of cigarettes. Such imprinted
11language shall acknowledge the manufacturer's collection and
12payment of or liability for the tax imposed by this Act with
13respect to such cigarettes.
14    The Department shall adopt the design or designs of the
15tax stamps and shall procure the printing of such stamps in
16such amounts and denominations as it deems necessary to
17provide for the affixation of the proper amount of tax stamps
18to each original package of cigarettes.
19    Where tax stamps are required, the Department may
20authorize distributors to affix revenue tax stamps by
21imprinting tax meter stamps upon original packages of
22cigarettes. The Department shall adopt rules and regulations
23relating to the imprinting of such tax meter stamps as will
24result in payment of the proper taxes as herein imposed. No
25distributor may affix revenue tax stamps to original packages
26of cigarettes by imprinting meter stamps thereon unless such

 

 

SB2058- 144 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1distributor has first obtained permission from the Department
2to employ this method of affixation. The Department shall
3regulate the use of tax meters and may, to assure the proper
4collection of the taxes imposed by this Act, revoke or suspend
5the privilege, theretofore granted by the Department to any
6distributor, to imprint tax meter stamps upon original
7packages of cigarettes.
8    The tax hereby imposed and not paid pursuant to this
9Section shall be paid to the Department directly by any person
10using such cigarettes within this State, pursuant to Section
1112 hereof.
12    A distributor shall not affix, or cause to be affixed, any
13stamp or imprint to a package of cigarettes, as provided for in
14this Section, if the tobacco product manufacturer, as defined
15in Section 10 of the Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow
16Act, that made or sold the cigarettes has failed to become a
17participating manufacturer, as defined in subdivision (a)(1)
18of Section 15 of the Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow
19Act, or has failed to create a qualified escrow fund for any
20cigarettes manufactured by the tobacco product manufacturer
21and sold in this State or otherwise failed to bring itself into
22compliance with subdivision (a)(2) of Section 15 of the
23Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act.

3    Where the same person has more than 1 business registered
4with the Department under separate registrations under this
5Act, such person shall not file each return that is due as a
6single return covering all such registered businesses, but
7shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

9any consideration other than money received by him in
10connection with the renting, leasing or letting of rooms in

14remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
15reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department

6taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
7Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
8less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
9information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
10Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
11of gross receipts as shown by the operator's last State income
12tax return. If the total receipts of the business as reported

20    (35 ILCS 505/2b)  (from Ch. 120, par. 418b)
21    Sec. 2b. Receiver's monthly return. In addition to the tax
22collection and reporting responsibilities imposed elsewhere in
23this Act, a person who is required to pay the tax imposed by
24Section 2a of this Act shall pay the tax to the Department by

 

 

SB2058- 154 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1return showing all fuel purchased, acquired or received and
2sold, distributed or used during the preceding calendar month
3including losses of fuel as the result of evaporation or
4shrinkage due to temperature variations, and such other
5reasonable information as the Department may require. Losses
6of fuel as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to
7temperature variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons
8in storage at the beginning of the month, plus the receipts of
9gallonage during the month, minus the gallonage remaining in
10storage at the end of the month. Any loss reported that is in
11excess of this amount shall be subject to the tax imposed by
12Section 2a of this Law. On and after July 1, 2001, for each
136-month period January through June, net losses of fuel (for
14each category of fuel that is required to be reported on a
15return) as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to
16temperature variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons
17in storage at the beginning of each January, plus the receipts
18of gallonage each January through June, minus the gallonage
19remaining in storage at the end of each June. On and after July
201, 2001, for each 6-month period July through December, net
21losses of fuel (for each category of fuel that is required to
22be reported on a return) as the result of evaporation or
23shrinkage due to temperature variations may not exceed 1% of
24the total gallons in storage at the beginning of each July,
25plus the receipts of gallonage each July through December,
26minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the end of each

1December. Any net loss reported that is in excess of this
2amount shall be subject to the tax imposed by Section 2a of
3this Law. For purposes of this Section, "net loss" means the
4number of gallons gained through temperature variations minus
5the number of gallons lost through temperature variations or
6evaporation for each of the respective 6-month periods.
7    The return shall be prescribed by the Department and shall
8be filed between the 1st and 20th days of each calendar month.
9The Department may, in its discretion, combine the returns
10filed under this Section, Section 5, and Section 5a of this
11Act. The return must be accompanied by appropriate
12computer-generated magnetic media supporting schedule data in
13the format required by the Department, unless, as provided by
14rule, the Department grants an exception upon petition of a
15taxpayer. If the return is filed timely, the seller shall take
16a discount of 2% through June 30, 2003 and 1.75% thereafter
17which is allowed to reimburse the seller for the expenses
18incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
19collecting and remitting the tax and supplying data to the
20Department on request. The discount, however, shall be
21applicable only to the amount of payment which accompanies a
22return that is filed timely in accordance with this Section.
23Prior to January 1, 2020, the vendor discount amount shall be
241.75%. On and after January 1, 2020, the vendor discount
25amount shall be 1.75% of the proceeds collected during the

1event shall the discount allowed to any person be less than $5
2in any calendar year or more than $1,000 in any calendar year.
3The discount under this Section is not allowed for taxes paid
4on aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use
5requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133.
6    Beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending with returns due
7on January 20, 2021, each person who is required to pay the tax
8imposed under Section 2a of this Act on aviation fuel sold or
9used in this State during the preceding calendar month shall,
10instead of reporting and paying tax on aviation fuel as
11otherwise required by this Section, report and pay such tax on
12a separate aviation fuel tax return or a separate line on the
13return. The requirements related to the return shall be as
14otherwise provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other
15provisions of this Act to the contrary, a person required to
16pay the tax imposed by Section 2a of this Act on aviation fuel
17shall file all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all
18aviation fuel tax payments by electronic means in the manner
19and form required by the Department. For purposes of this Law,
20"aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation gasoline.
21    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
22receiver's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
23return, the Department may authorize the receiver to credit
24such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
25remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
26reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department

 

 

SB2058- 157 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
2taken was not actually due to the receiver, the receiver's
3discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
4between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
5actually due, and that receiver shall be liable for penalties
6and interest on such difference.

11sells or distributes any motor fuel, which he is required by
12Section 5 to report to the Department when filing a return,
13shall (except as hereinafter provided) collect at the time of
14such sale and distribution, the amount of tax imposed under
15this Act on all such motor fuel sold and distributed, and at
16the time of making a return, the distributor shall pay to the
17Department the amount so collected less a discount of 2%
18through June 30, 2003 and 1.75% thereafter which is allowed to
19reimburse the distributor for the expenses incurred in keeping
20records, preparing and filing returns, collecting and
21remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department on
22request, and shall also pay to the Department an amount equal
23to the amount that would be collectible as a tax in the event

1July 1, 2003, the discount amount shall be 2%. From July 1,
22003 through December 31, 2019, the discount amount shall be

5however, on and after January 1, 2020, in no event shall the
6discount allowed to any distributor be less than $5 in any
7calendar year or more than $1,000 in any calendar year.
8However, no payment shall be made based upon dyed diesel fuel
9used by the distributor for non-highway purposes. The discount
10shall only be applicable to the amount of tax payment which
11accompanies a return which is filed timely in accordance with
12Section 5 of this Act. In each subsequent sale of motor fuel on
13which the amount of tax imposed under this Act has been
14collected as provided in this Section, the amount so collected
15shall be added to the selling price, so that the amount of tax
16is paid ultimately by the user of the motor fuel. However, no
17collection or payment shall be made in the case of the sale or
18use of any motor fuel to the extent to which such sale or use
19of motor fuel may not, under the constitution and statutes of

9return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
10kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
11returns under this Article, such retailer shall file a final
12return under this Article with the Department not more than
13one month after discontinuing such business.
14    In making such return, the retailer shall determine the
15value of any consideration other than money received by him
16and he shall include such value in his return. Such
17determination shall be subject to review and revision by the
18Department in the manner hereinafter provided for the
19correction of returns.
20    Each retailer whose average monthly liability to the
21Department under this Article and the Simplified Municipal
22Telecommunications Tax Act was $25,000 or more during the
23preceding calendar year, excluding the month of highest
24liability and the month of lowest liability in such calendar
25year, and who is not operated by a unit of local government,
26shall make estimated payments to the Department on or before

 

 

SB2058- 169 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which tax
2collection liability to the Department is incurred in an
3amount not less than the lower of either 22.5% of the
4retailer's actual tax collections for the month or 25% of the
5retailer's actual tax collections for the same calendar month
6of the preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly
7payments shall be credited against the final liability of the
8retailer's return for that month. Any outstanding credit,
9approved by the Department, arising from the retailer's
10overpayment of its final liability for any month may be
11applied to reduce the amount of any subsequent quarter monthly
12payment or credited against the final liability of the
13retailer's return for any subsequent month. If any quarter
14monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
15required by this Section, the retailer shall be liable for
16penalty and interest on the difference between the minimum
17amount due as a payment and the amount of such payment actually
18and timely paid, except insofar as the retailer has previously
19made payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
20minimum payments previously due.
21    The retailer making the return herein provided for shall,
22at the time of making such return, pay to the Department the
23amount of tax herein imposed, less a discount of 1% which is
24allowed to reimburse the retailer for the expenses incurred in
25keeping records, billing the customer, preparing and filing
26returns, remitting the tax, and supplying data to the

 

 

SB2058- 170 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1Department upon request. No discount may be claimed by a
2retailer on returns not timely filed and for taxes not timely
3remitted. On and after January 1, 2020, in no event shall the
4discount allowed to any retailer be more than $1,000 in any
5calendar year.
6    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
7retailer's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
8return, the Department may authorize the retailer to credit
9such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
10remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
11reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
12subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
13taken was not actually due to the retailer, the retailer's
14discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
15between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
16actually due, and that retailer shall be liable for penalties
17and interest on such difference.
18    On and after the effective date of this Article of 1985, of
19the moneys received by the Department of Revenue pursuant to
20this Article, other than moneys received pursuant to the
21additional taxes imposed by Public Act 90-548:
22        (1) $1,000,000 shall be paid each month into the
23    Common School Fund;
24        (2) beginning on the first day of the first calendar
25    month to occur on or after the effective date of this
26    amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly, an amount

 

 

SB2058- 171 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1    equal to 1/12 of 5% of the cash receipts collected during
2    the preceding fiscal year by the Audit Bureau of the
3    Department from the tax under this Act and the Simplified
4    Municipal Telecommunications Tax Act shall be paid each
5    month into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund;
6    those moneys shall be used, subject to appropriation, to
7    fund additional auditors and compliance personnel at the
8    Department of Revenue; and
9        (3) the remainder shall be deposited into the General
10    Revenue Fund.
11    On and after February 1, 1998, however, of the moneys
12received by the Department of Revenue pursuant to the
13additional taxes imposed by Public Act 90-548, one-half shall
14be deposited into the School Infrastructure Fund and one-half
15shall be deposited into the Common School Fund. On and after
16the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General
17Assembly, if in any fiscal year the total of the moneys
18deposited into the School Infrastructure Fund under this Act
19is less than the total of the moneys deposited into that Fund
20from the additional taxes imposed by Public Act 90-548 during
21fiscal year 1999, then, as soon as possible after the close of
22the fiscal year, the Comptroller shall order transferred and
23the Treasurer shall transfer from the General Revenue Fund to
24the School Infrastructure Fund an amount equal to the
25difference between the fiscal year total deposits and the
26total amount deposited into the Fund in fiscal year 1999.

14    shall the discount allowed to any manufacturer or
15    distributor be less than $5 in any calendar year or more
16    than $1,000 in any calendar year.
17    The Department may, if it deems it necessary in order to
18insure the payment of the tax imposed by this Article, require
19returns to be made more frequently than and covering periods
20of less than a month. Such return shall contain such further
21information as the Department may reasonably require.
22    It shall be presumed that all alcoholic liquors acquired
23or made by any importing distributor or manufacturer have been
24sold or used by him in this State and are the basis for the tax
25imposed by this Article unless proven, to the satisfaction of
26the Department, that such alcoholic liquors are (1) still in

 

 

SB2058- 175 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1the possession of such importing distributor or manufacturer,
2or (2) prior to the termination of possession have been lost by
3theft or through unintentional destruction, or (3) that such
4alcoholic liquors are otherwise exempt from taxation under
5this Act.
6    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
7manufacturer's or importing distributor's liabilities under
8this Act, as shown on an original report, the manufacturer or
9importing distributor may credit such excess payment against
10liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department under
11this Act, in accordance with reasonable rules adopted by the
12Department. If the Department subsequently determines that all
13or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
14manufacturer or importing distributor, the manufacturer's or
15importing distributor's discount shall be reduced by an amount
16equal to the difference between the discount as applied to the
17credit taken and that actually due, and the manufacturer or
18importing distributor shall be liable for penalties and
19interest on such difference.
20    The Department may require any foreign importer to file
21monthly information returns, by the 15th day of the month
22following the month which any such return covers, if the

26Department may reasonably require.

1    Every manufacturer and importing distributor, except for a
2manufacturer or importing distributor that in the preceding
3year had less than $50,000 of tax liability under this
4Article, shall also file, with the Department, a bond in an
5amount not less than $1,000 and not to exceed $100,000 on a
6form to be approved by, and with a surety or sureties
7satisfactory to, the Department. Such bond shall be
8conditioned upon the manufacturer or importing distributor
9paying to the Department all monies becoming due from such
10manufacturer or importing distributor under this Article. The
11Department shall fix the penalty of such bond in each case,
12taking into consideration the amount of alcoholic liquor
13expected to be sold and used by such manufacturer or importing
14distributor, and the penalty fixed by the Department shall be
15sufficient, in the Department's opinion, to protect the State
16of Illinois against failure to pay any amount due under this
17Article, but the amount of the penalty fixed by the Department
18shall not exceed twice the amount of tax liability of a monthly
19return, nor shall the amount of such penalty be less than
20$1,000. The Department shall notify the State Commission of
21the Department's approval or disapproval of any such
22manufacturer's or importing distributor's bond, or of the
23termination or cancellation of any such bond, or of the
24Department's direction to a manufacturer or importing
25distributor that he must file additional bond in order to
26comply with this Section. The Commission shall not issue a

 

 

SB2058- 177 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1license to any applicant for a manufacturer's or importing
2distributor's license unless the Commission has received a
3notification from the Department showing that such applicant
4has filed a satisfactory bond with the Department hereunder
5and that such bond has been approved by the Department.
6Failure by any licensed manufacturer or importing distributor
7to keep a satisfactory bond in effect with the Department or to
8furnish additional bond to the Department, when required
9hereunder by the Department to do so, shall be grounds for the
10revocation or suspension of such manufacturer's or importing
11distributor's license by the Commission. If a manufacturer or
12importing distributor fails to pay any amount due under this
13Article, his bond with the Department shall be deemed
14forfeited, and the Department may institute a suit in its own
15name on such bond.
16    After notice and opportunity for a hearing the State
17Commission may revoke or suspend the license of any
18manufacturer or importing distributor who fails to comply with
19the provisions of this Section. Notice of such hearing and the
20time and place thereof shall be in writing and shall contain a
21statement of the charges against the licensee. Such notice may
22be given by United States registered or certified mail with
23return receipt requested, addressed to the person concerned at
24his last known address and shall be given not less than 7 days
25prior to the date fixed for the hearing. An order revoking or
26suspending a license under the provisions of this Section may

 

 

SB2058- 178 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1be reviewed in the manner provided in Section 7-10 of this Act.
2No new license shall be granted to a person whose license has
3been revoked for a violation of this Section or, in case of
4suspension, shall such suspension be terminated until he has
5paid to the Department all taxes and penalties which he owes
6the State under the provisions of this Act.
7    Every manufacturer or importing distributor who has, as
8verified by the Department, continuously complied with the
9conditions of the bond under this Act for a period of 2 years
10shall be considered to be a prior continuous compliance
11taxpayer. In determining the consecutive period of time for
12qualification as a prior continuous compliance taxpayer, any
13consecutive period of time of qualifying compliance
14immediately prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act
15of 1987 shall be credited to any manufacturer or importing
16distributor.
17    A manufacturer or importing distributor that is a prior
18continuous compliance taxpayer under this Section and becomes
19a successor as the result of an acquisition, merger, or
20consolidation of a manufacturer or importing distributor shall
21be deemed to be a prior continuous compliance taxpayer with
22respect to the acquired, merged, or consolidated entity.
23    Every prior continuous compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
24from the bond requirements of this Act until the Department
25has determined the taxpayer to be delinquent in the filing of
26any return or deficient in the payment of any tax under this

 

 

SB2058- 179 -LRB102 17278 HLH 22750 b

1Act. Any taxpayer who fails to pay an admitted or established
2liability under this Act may also be required to post bond or
3other acceptable security with the Department guaranteeing the
4payment of such admitted or established liability.
5    The Department shall discharge any surety and shall
6release and return any bond or security deposit assigned,
7pledged or otherwise provided to it by a taxpayer under this
8Section within 30 days after: (1) such taxpayer becomes a
9prior continuous compliance taxpayer; or (2) such taxpayer has
10ceased to collect receipts on which he is required to remit tax
11to the Department, has filed a final tax return, and has paid
12to the Department an amount sufficient to discharge his
13remaining tax liability as determined by the Department under
14this Act.
