20     (35 ILCS 105/3-10)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
21     Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this
22 Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
23 either the selling price or the fair market value, if any, of
24 the tangible personal property. In all cases where property
25 functionally used or consumed is the same as the property that
26 was purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the selling
27 price of the property. In all cases where property functionally
28 used or consumed is a by-product or waste product that has been
29 refined, manufactured, or produced from property purchased at
30 retail, then the tax is imposed on the lower of the fair market
31 value, if any, of the specific property so used in this State
32 or on the selling price of the property purchased at retail.
33 For purposes of this Section "fair market value" means the
34 price at which property would change hands between a willing
35 buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion

1 to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the
2 relevant facts. The fair market value shall be established by

4 functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such sales by
5 the taxpayer, then comparable sales or purchases of property of
6 like kind and character in Illinois.

8 with respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of the
9 Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40 of
10 the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
11     With respect to gasohol, the tax imposed by this Act
12 applies to (i) 70% of the proceeds of sales made on or after
13 January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003, (ii) 80% of the
14 proceeds of sales made on or after July 1, 2003 and on or
15 before December 31, 2013, and (iii) 100% of the proceeds of
16 sales made thereafter. If, at any time, however, the tax under
17 this Act on sales of gasohol is imposed at the rate of 1.25%,
18 then the tax imposed by this Act applies to 100% of the
19 proceeds of sales of gasohol made during that time.
20     With respect to majority blended ethanol fuel, the tax
21 imposed by this Act does not apply to the proceeds of sales
22 made on or after July 1, 2003 and on or before December 31,
23 2013 but applies to 100% of the proceeds of sales made
24 thereafter.
25     With respect to biodiesel blends with no less than 1% and
26 no more than 10% biodiesel, the tax imposed by this Act applies
27 to (i) 80% of the proceeds of sales made on or after July 1,
28 2003 and on or before December 31, 2013 and (ii) 100% of the
29 proceeds of sales made thereafter. If, at any time, however,

25     (35 ILCS 115/3-10)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)
26     Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this
27 Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
28 the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of the Service Use

1 selling price is not so shown, the selling price of the
2 tangible personal property is deemed to be 50% of the

15 price of property transferred as an incident to the sale of
16 service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
17 (ii) 80% of the selling price of property transferred as an
18 incident to the sale of service on or after July 1, 2003 and on
19 or before December 31, 2013, and (iii) 100% of the cost price
20 thereafter. If, at any time, however, the tax under this Act on
21 sales of gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act, is imposed at
22 the rate of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by this Act applies to
23 100% of the proceeds of sales of gasohol made during that time.

1 biodiesel blends, as defined in the Use Tax Act, with no less
2 than 1% and no more than 10% biodiesel is imposed at the rate
3 of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by this Act applies to 100% of
4 the proceeds of sales of biodiesel blends with no less than 1%
5 and no more than 10% biodiesel made during that time.
6     With respect to 100% biodiesel, as defined in the Use Tax
7 Act, and biodiesel blends, as defined in the Use Tax Act, with
8 more than 10% but no more than 99% biodiesel material, the tax
9 imposed by this Act does not apply to the proceeds of the
10 selling price of property transferred as an incident to the
11 sale of service on or after July 1, 2003 and on or before
12 December 31, 2013 but applies to 100% of the selling price

16 cost price of tangible personal property transferred as an
17 incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or 75% in
18 the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs or

22 price of the tangible personal property transferred incident to
23 the sale of those services.
24     The tax shall be imposed at the rate of 1% on food prepared
25 for immediate consumption and transferred incident to a sale of
26 service subject to this Act or the Service Occupation Tax Act
27 by an entity licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act, the

29 shall also be imposed at the rate of 1% on food for human

31 sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food
32 that has been prepared for immediate consumption and is not
33 otherwise included in this paragraph) and prescription and

17 it is sold" includes all food sold through a vending machine,
18 except soft drinks and food products that are dispensed hot
19 from a vending machine, regardless of the location of the
