1weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor vehicle
2of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of sale"
3means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
4lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
5monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
6lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
7received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
8that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
9including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
10charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
11Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
12from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
13at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
14motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
15on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
16the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
17tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to pay the tax imposed by
18this Act on those amounts. However, the lessor who purchased
19the motor vehicle assumes the liability for reporting and
20paying the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in
21the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local
22retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the
23retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the retailer
24had accounted for the tax to the Department. For amounts
25received by the lessor from the lessee that are not calculated
26at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must file the

 

 

10200SB2066sam001- 8 -LRB102 16579 HLH 24286 a

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

 

 

10200SB2066sam001- 9 -LRB102 16579 HLH 24286 a

1the lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for
2any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
3the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
4calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
5price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
6calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
7in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
8Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
9all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
10by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
11Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
12vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
13term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
14with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
15lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
16defined period.
17    The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
18construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
19vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
20agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
21agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
22which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
23retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
24occasional sale.

26property at retail means the total selling price or the amount

2and time sales, the amount thereof shall be included only as
3and when payments are received by the seller. Receipts or

14    The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
15property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
16being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
17such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
18bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
19business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
20within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is
21engaged in a business which is not subject to the tax imposed
22by this Act because of involving the sale of or a contract to
23sell real estate or a construction contract to improve real
24estate or a construction contract to engineer, install, and

13less than the cost of such property to the transferor; if no
14separate charge is made, the value of such property, for the
15purposes of this Act, is the cost to the transferor of such
16tangible personal property. Construction contracts for the
17improvement of real estate consisting of engineering,
18installation, and maintenance of voice, data, video, security,
19and all telecommunication systems do not constitute engaging
20in a business of selling tangible personal property at retail
21within the meaning of this Act if they are sold at one
22specified contract price.

24(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal

1other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
2under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
3manner and form as required by the Department.
4    Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
5aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
6an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
7liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
8transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
9required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
10monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
11be required to file returns on an annual basis.
12    The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
13vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
14an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
15Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
16Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;

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

21sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
22such other information as the Department may reasonably
23require.

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

 

 

10200SB2066sam001- 52 -LRB102 16579 HLH 24286 a

1is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
2paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
3Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
4mandate of this paragraph.
5    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
6wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
7of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
8the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has
9not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the
10fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
11being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
12the information required by the transaction reporting return
13and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
14the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
15determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
16and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
17credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
18with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
19provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
20the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the

22if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
23    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
24period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
25returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
26subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case

1may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
2receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
3return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
4with respect to such receipts.
5    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
6behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
7vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
8accredited agent of such corporation.
9    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
10return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
11be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
12of the limited liability company.
13    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
14the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
15return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
16Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
17on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
18whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
19retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
20preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
21data to the Department on request. On and after January 1,
222021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling

5portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the
6revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
747133. Any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2d of this Act
8shall be included in the amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75%
9discount is computed. In the case of retailers who report and
10pay the tax on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided
11in this Section, such discount shall be taken with each such
12tax remittance instead of when such retailer files his
13periodic return. The discount allowed under this Section is
14allowed only for returns that are filed in the manner required
15by this Act. The Department may disallow the discount for
16retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at the
17time the return is filed, but only if the Department's
18decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become
19final.
20    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
21tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
22Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
23Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be

2during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
3payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
4last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
5On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average
6monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act, the
7Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service
8Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to
9be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
10$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
11quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
12month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
13during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
14payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
15last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
16If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
17prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
18equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
19or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
20average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
21for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
22month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
23in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
24liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
25prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
26equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the

2calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
3which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
4January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
5shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
6liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability

10after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
11to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
1225% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
13the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
14liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
15prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
16equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
17month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar

19liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
20of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
21final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
22Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
23the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
24taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
25or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
26continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to

1the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
2quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
3month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
4taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
5computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
6calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
7taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
8the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
9to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
10reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
11threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
12Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
13On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement
14of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
15taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000
16or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
17continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
18the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
19quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
20month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
21taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
22computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
23calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
24taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in

1reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
2threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
3Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
4The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
5unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
6likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is
7not paid at the time or in the amount required by this Section,
8then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
9on the difference between the minimum amount due as a payment
10and the amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and
11timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
12made payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
13minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
14The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
15govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
16payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
17monthly basis.
18    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
192001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
20quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
21is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
22prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
23excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
24calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
25required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
26Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the

 

 

10200SB2066sam001- 59 -LRB102 16579 HLH 24286 a

1month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
2during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
3September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
4each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
5taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
6during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
7January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
822.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
927.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
10of the preceding calendar year. If the month during which such
11tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987,
12each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
13taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the
14taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
15preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
16shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
17taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
18Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
19requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
20Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
21such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
22the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less.
23If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
24in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
25penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as
26the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in

 

 

10200SB2066sam001- 60 -LRB102 16579 HLH 24286 a

1excess of the minimum payments previously due.
2    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
3October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
4required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
5any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
6collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
7taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the
8preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
9with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
10payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
11last day of the month during which the liability is incurred.
12Each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
13taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
14taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
15preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
16shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
17taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
18Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
19requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
20Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
21taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
22preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
23highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
24than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
25liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
26quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less

 

 

10200SB2066sam001- 61 -LRB102 16579 HLH 24286 a

1than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
2at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
3liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
4insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
5month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
6    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
7taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
8Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
9shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
10requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
11memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
12credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
13the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
14Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
15in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
16prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
17taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
18subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
19the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
20Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
21regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
22subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
23taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
242.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or
251.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
26actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties

2    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
3Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
4to the Department under this Act for the month which the
5taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
6taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

1certified service providers and certified automated systems
2simplify use and occupation tax compliance for remote
3retailers, which fosters higher levels of accurate tax
4collection and remittance and generates administrative savings
5and new marginal tax revenue for both State and local taxing
6jurisdictions. By making the services of certified service
7providers and certified automated systems available to remote
8retailers without charge, other than their retailer customer's
9retail discount, as provided in this Act, the State will
10substantially eliminate the burden on those remote retailers
11to collect and remit both State and local taxing jurisdiction
12use and occupation taxes. While providing a means for remote
13retailers to collect and remit tax on an even basis with
14Illinois retailers, this Act also protects existing local tax
15revenue streams by retaining origin sourcing for all
16transactions by retailers maintaining a physical presence in
17Illinois.

5    wishing to use a certified automated process; this
6    certification process shall provide that companies that
7    meet all required standards and whose systems have been

21        service provider fails to correctly remit the tax
22        after having been provided with the tax and
23        information by a remote retailer to correctly remit
24        the taxes imposed under this Act and the Use Tax Act

3        sale resulted from the certified service provider's
4        good faith reliance on incorrect or insufficient
