 1        AN ACT concerning taxes.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The  Use  Tax  Act  is  amended  by  changing
 5    Section 3-10 and by adding Sections 3-41 and 3-42 as follows:

 6        (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
 7        Sec.  3-10.   Rate  of tax.  Unless otherwise provided in
 8    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
 9    6.25%  of  either the selling price or the fair market value,
10    if any, of the tangible  personal  property.   In  all  cases
11    where  property  functionally used or consumed is the same as
12    the property that was purchased at retail, then  the  tax  is
13    imposed  on  the selling price of the property.  In all cases
14    where property functionally used or consumed is a  by-product
15    or  waste  product  that  has  been refined, manufactured, or
16    produced from property purchased at retail, then the  tax  is
17    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
18    specific  property  so  used  in this State or on the selling
19    price of the property purchased at retail.  For  purposes  of
20    this  Section  "fair  market  value" means the price at which
21    property would change hands between a  willing  buyer  and  a
22    willing  seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
23    sell and both having reasonable  knowledge  of  the  relevant
24    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
25    sales   by   the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property  as  that
26    functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such  sales
27    by  the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases of
28    property of like kind and character in Illinois.
29        Beginning on July 1, 2000 and through December 31,  2000,
30    with  respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of the
31    Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in  Section  3-40
 
                            -2-      LRB093 02098 SJM 02104 b
 1    of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
 2        With  respect  to  gasohol,  the  tax imposed by this Act
 3    applies to (i) 70% of the proceeds of sales made on or  after

 5    proceeds of sales made on or after July 1, 2003  and  through
 6    December 31, 2007, (iii) 80% of the proceeds of sales made on
 7    or  after  January 1, 2008 and through December 31, 2013, and
 8    (iv) to 100% of the proceeds of sales made thereafter. If, at
 9    any time, however, the tax under this Act on sales of gasohol
10    is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by this
11    Act applies to 100% of the proceeds of sales of gasohol  made
12    during that time.
13        With  respect  to E85 blend fuel, the tax imposed by this
14    Act does not apply to the proceeds of sales made on or  after
15    July  1,  2003  and  through December 31, 2013 but applies to
16    100% of the proceeds of sales made  thereafter.  If,  at  any
17    time,  however,  the tax under this Act on sales of E85 blend
18    fuel is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by
19    this Act applies to 100% of the  proceeds  of  sales  of  E85
20    blend fuel made during that time.
21        With  respect  to bio-diesel blend fuel with no more than
22    10% fuel made from biomass material, the tax imposed by  this
23    Act  applies  to  (i) 75% of the proceeds of sales made on or

25    the proceeds of sales made on or after January  1,  2008  and
26    through  December 31, 2013, and (iii) 100% of the proceeds of
27    sales made thereafter. If, at  any  time,  however,  the  tax
28    under this Act on sales of bio-diesel blend fuel with no more
29    than  10%  fuel  made from biomass material is imposed at the
30    rate of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by this  Act  applies  to
31    100%  of  the proceeds of sales of bio-diesel blend fuel with
32    no more than 10% fuel made from biomass material made  during
33    that time.

 3    1,  2003 and through December 31, 2013 but applies to 100% of

 5    however,  the tax under this Act on sales of bio-diesel blend
 6    fuel with more than 10% fuel made from  biomass  material  is
 7    imposed  at  the  rate of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by this
 8    Act applies to 100% of the proceeds of  sales  of  bio-diesel
 9    blend fuel with more than 10% fuel made from biomass material
10    made during that time.

12    consumed off the  premises  where  it  is  sold  (other  than

15    nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,   medical   appliances,

17    it  usable  by  a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
18    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
19    use, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For  the  purposes
20    of  this  Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete,
21    finished,   ready-to-use,   non-alcoholic   drink,    whether
22    carbonated  or  not, including but not limited to soda water,
23    cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
24    other preparations commonly known as soft drinks of  whatever

31        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
32    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
33    where  it  is  sold" includes all food sold through a vending
34    machine, except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that  are

 1    dispensed  hot  from  a  vending  machine,  regardless of the
 2    location of the vending machine.
 3        If the property  that  is  purchased  at  retail  from  a
 4    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside
 5    Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
 6    taxable  under this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax
 7    is computed shall be reduced by an amount that  represents  a
 8    reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
 9    out-of-state use.

 5    acquired  outside  Illinois  and used outside Illinois before
 6    being brought to Illinois for use here and is  taxable  under

14        Section 15.  The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
15    changing Section 3-10 as follows:

16        (35 ILCS 115/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)
17        Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax.   Unless  otherwise  provided  in
18    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
19    6.25% of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of  the
20    Service  Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.  For
21    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
22    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
23    of  the  tangible personal property transferred.  The selling
24    price of each item of tangible personal property  transferred
25    as  an  incident  of  a  sale  of  service  may be shown as a
26    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
27    service customer. If the selling price is not so  shown,  the
28    selling  price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
29    be 50% of the serviceman's  entire  billing  to  the  service
30    customer.   When,  however, a serviceman contracts to design,
31    develop, and produce special order  machinery  or  equipment,
32    the   tax   imposed  by  this  Act  shall  be  based  on  the

 4    with respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of  the
 5    Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40

 7        With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use  Tax  Act,
 8    the  tax  imposed  by  this Act shall apply to (i) 70% of the

11    2003,  (ii)  75% of the selling price of property transferred

14    price of property transferred as an incident to the  sale  of
15    service  on or after January 1, 2008 and through December 31,
16    2013, and (iv) to 100% of the cost price thereafter.  If,  at
17    any  time,  however,  the  tax  under  this  Act  on sales of
18    gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act,  is  imposed  at  the
19    rate  of  1.25%,  then the tax imposed by this Act applies to
20    100% of the proceeds of sales of  gasohol  made  during  that
21    time.
22        With respect to E85 blend fuel, as defined in the Use Tax
23    Act,  the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act  does not apply to the
24    selling price of property transferred as an incident  to  the
25    sale of service on or after July 1, 2003 and through December
26    31, 2013 but applies to 100% of the selling price thereafter.
27    If,  at any time, however, the tax under this Act on sales of
28    E85 blend fuel, as defined in the Use Tax Act, is imposed  at
29    the  rate  of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by this Act applies
30    to 100% of the proceeds of  sales  of  E85  blend  fuel  made
31    during that time.
32        With  respect to bio-diesel blend fuel, as defined in the
33    Use Tax Act, with no more than 10%  fuel  made  from  biomass
34    material,  the  tax imposed by this Act applies to (i) 75% of

23    tax."   The  notice  shall be printed in bold print on a sign
24    that is no smaller than 4 inches by 8 inches.  The sign shall
25    be clearly visible to customers.  Any retailer who  fails  to
