13the vehicle for a defined period that is longer than one year

15a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
16converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
17camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
18living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
19configuration designed for the transportation of not less than

26lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount

 

 

SB3362 Engrossed- 7 -LRB103 34186 HLH 66294 b

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

 

 

SB3362 Engrossed- 8 -LRB103 34186 HLH 66294 b

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

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

9property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
10being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
11such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
12bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
13business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
14within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is

20course of conducting such business, transfers tangible
21personal property to users or consumers in the finished form
22in which it was purchased, and which does not become real

7less than the cost of such property to the transferor; if no
8separate charge is made, the value of such property, for the
9purposes of this Act, is the cost to the transferor of such
10tangible personal property. Construction contracts for the

16specified contract price.
17    A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
18(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
19property at retail is a person engaged in the business of

24for the purchaser and in such a way as to render the property
25of value only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal
26property so produced on special order serves substantially the
