22    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later

HB3859- 16 -LRB097 13904 KMW 58486 b

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

 

 

HB3859- 17 -LRB097 13904 KMW 58486 b

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

22period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
23returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under

10during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
111, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
12Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
13Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
14liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
15with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
16preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
17with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
18next following the month during which such tax liability is
19incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
20the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
21liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
22liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
23payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
24actual liability for the month or an amount set by the

1calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
2the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
3month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
4after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
5payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
7liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
8the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
9or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
10payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
11actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
12liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
13the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
14or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
15begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
16amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
17the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
18calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
19such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
201989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
21amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
22the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
23calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's

25amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
26against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for

 

 

HB3859- 21 -LRB097 13904 KMW 58486 b

1that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
2requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
3Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
4of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
5shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
6to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
7quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
8month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
9taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
10computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
11calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
12taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
13the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
14to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
15reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
16threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
17Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
18and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
19the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
20taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
21more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
22until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
23Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
24(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
25lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
26average monthly liability to the Department as computed for

 

 

HB3859- 22 -LRB097 13904 KMW 58486 b

1each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
2quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
3show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
4business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
5that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
6foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
7above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
8change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
9shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
10that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
11long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
12the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
13taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
14difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
15amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
16paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
17payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
18minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
19The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
20govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
21payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
22monthly basis.
23    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
242001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
25quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
26is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit

 

 

HB3859- 23 -LRB097 13904 KMW 58486 b

1prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
2excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
3calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
4required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
5Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
6month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
7during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to the
8effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment
9shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's
10actual liability under Section 2d. If the month during which
11such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
121986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
13taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
14taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
15preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
16liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
17payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
18actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
19liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
20The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
21against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
22that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
23may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
24quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
25paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
26prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete

 

 

HB3859- 24 -LRB097 13904 KMW 58486 b

1calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
2monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
3required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
4interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
5previously made payments for that month in excess of the
6minimum payments previously due.
7    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
81, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
9make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
10who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
11prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
12excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
13calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
14required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
15Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
16month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
17shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
18liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
19the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
20the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
21final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
22filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
23Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
24monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
25shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
26collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters

 

 

HB3859- 25 -LRB097 13904 KMW 58486 b

1(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
2lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
3average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
4each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
5quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
6payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
7taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
8difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
9payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
10previously due.
11    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
12taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
13Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
14shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
15requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
16memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
17credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
18the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
19Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
20in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
21prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
22taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
23subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
24the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
25Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
26regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department

 

 

HB3859- 26 -LRB097 13904 KMW 58486 b

1subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
2taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
3and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
4of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
5due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
6interest on such difference.
7    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
8Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
9to the Department under this Act for the month which the
10taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
11taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
12    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
13pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the
14State treasury which is hereby created, the net revenue
15realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of
