1funds projected to be paid to the participants pursuant to
2Section 2-7. If the General Assembly fails to make

5irrevocable and continuing appropriation from the Downstate
6Public Transportation Fund of all amounts necessary for those
7purposes.
8    (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the

14    Section 10. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section
159 as follows:
 
16    (35 ILCS 105/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
17    Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
18and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
19of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
20the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
21amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
22when he is required to file his return for the period during
23which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
24January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5

 

 

HB6614- 6 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
2reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
3tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
4the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. In the
5case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
6by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
7discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
8of when such retailer files his periodic return. The Department
9may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
10registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
11only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
12registration has become final. A retailer need not remit that
13part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is
14required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the
15Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the
16same property.
17    Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
18conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
19wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
20extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
21filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
22vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
23to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
24each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
25the selling price actually received during such tax return
26period.

 

 

HB6614- 7 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1    Except as provided in this Section, on or before the

3a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
4filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
5such information as the Department may reasonably require.
6    The Department may require returns to be filed on a
7quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
8quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
9calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
10taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
11of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
12the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:

2    If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
3the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
4the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
5due on the return shall be deemed assessed.

18effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
19requirements of this Section.
20    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
21tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'

HB6614- 10 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
222nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
3incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
4average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
5the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
6Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
7preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return

10incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
11the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
12liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
13liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
14payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
15actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
16Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
17of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
18calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
19the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
20month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
21after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
22payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
23actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
24liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
25the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
26or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each

 

 

HB6614- 11 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
2actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
3liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
4the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
5or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
6begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
7amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
8the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
9calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
10such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
111989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
12amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
13the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
14calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
15actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
16amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
17against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
18that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
19requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
20Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
21monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
22complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
23liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
24$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
25the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
26preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than

 

 

HB6614- 12 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
2substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
3which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
4monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
5will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
6taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
7taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
8applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
9payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
10average monthly liability to the Department during the
11preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
12highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
13than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
14to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
154 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
16$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
17substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
18which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
19monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
20will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
21taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
22taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
23taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
24seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
25quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
26amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be

 

 

HB6614- 13 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
2minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
3payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
4taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
5Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
6provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
7rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
8amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
9on other than a calendar monthly basis.
10    If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
11the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
12Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
13Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
14the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
15no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
16memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
17in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
18taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
19similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
20Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
21in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
22prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
23payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
24after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
25unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
26the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax

 

 

HB6614- 14 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
2Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
3the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
4accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
5the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
6all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
7taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
8be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
9credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
10liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
11    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
12return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
13the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
14authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
15with the return for January, February, and March of a given
16year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
17April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
18year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
19year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
20for October, November and December of a given year being due by
21January 20 of the following year.
22    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
23quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
24liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
25may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
26the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the

 

 

HB6614- 15 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1following year.
2    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
3substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
4returns.
5    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
6the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
7case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
8which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
9such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
10Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
11business.
12    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
13aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
14an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
15tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
16upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
17separate return for each such item of tangible personal
18property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
19transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
20vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
21watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
22watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
23of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
24vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
25watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
26a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this

 

 

HB6614- 16 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
2aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
3that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
4invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
5this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
6watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
7and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
8with an inboard motor.
9    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
10vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
11agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
12Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
13Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
14and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
15including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
16property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the

20trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
21tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the

9for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
10extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
11the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
12deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
13the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
14transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
15the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
16such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
17claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
18sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
19information as the Department may reasonably require.
20    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
21than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
22being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
23than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
24return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
25that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
26Department by way of the State agency with which, or State

 

 

HB6614- 18 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

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

 

 

HB6614- 19 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
2wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
3tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
4retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
5paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
6of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
7being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
8the information required by the transaction reporting return
9and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
10the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
11determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
12and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
13credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
14with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
15provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
16the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
17same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
18if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
19    Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
20selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
21the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
22property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
23the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
24purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
25his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
26purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so

 

 

HB6614- 20 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
2such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
3Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
4to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
5such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
6amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
7deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
8purchaser.
9    Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
10include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
11covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
12personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
13but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
14from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
15remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
16return.
17    If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
18Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
19return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
20returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
21Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
22Acts on the one form.
23    Where the retailer has more than one business registered
24with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
25such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
26return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file

 

 

HB6614- 21 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1separate returns for each such registered business.
2    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

23by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
24The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of
25the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other

1whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is
2less than 50 cents.
3    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
4return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
5the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
6authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
7with the return for January, February and March of a given year
8being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
9May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
10with the return for July, August and September of a given year
11being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
12October, November and December of a given year being due by
13January 20 of the following year.
14    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
15quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
16liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
17Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
18basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
19of the following year.
20    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
21substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
22returns.
23    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
24the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
25case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
26which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,

 

 

HB6614- 75 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
2Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
3business.
4    Where the same person has more than one business registered
5with the Department under separate registrations under this
6Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
7single return covering all such registered businesses, but
8shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
9    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
10aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
11an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
12tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
13upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
14separate return for each such item of tangible personal
15property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
16transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
17vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
18watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
19watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
20purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
21motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
22watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
23a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
24Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
25watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
26transaction to the Department on the same uniform

 

 

HB6614- 76 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
2this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
3watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
4and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
5with an inboard motor.
6    Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
7aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
8an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
9liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
10transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
11to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
12quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
13to file returns on an annual basis.
14    The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
15vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
16agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
17Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle
18Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
19and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
20including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
21property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
22traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
23which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
24of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
25trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
26tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the

 

 

HB6614- 77 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
2such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
3due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
4fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
5identification of the property sold; such other information as
6is required in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and
7such other information as the Department may reasonably
8require.
9    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
10or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
11name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
12price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
13traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
14for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
15extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
16the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
17deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
18the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
19transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
20the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
21such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
22claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
23sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
24information as the Department may reasonably require.
25    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
26than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is

 

 

HB6614- 78 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

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

 

 

HB6614- 79 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
2is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
3paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
4Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
5mandate of this paragraph.
6    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
7wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
8the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
9retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
10paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
11of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
12being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
13the information required by the transaction reporting return
14and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
15the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
16determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
17and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
18credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
19with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
20provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
21the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
22same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
23if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
24    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
25period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
26returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under

 

 

HB6614- 80 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
2may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
3receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
4return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
5with respect to such receipts.
6    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
7behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
8vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
9accredited agent of such corporation.
10    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
11filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
12signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
13the limited liability company.
14    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
15return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
16return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
17Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
18on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
19whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
20retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
21preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
22data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
23to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
24which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
25retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
26transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount

 

 

HB6614- 81 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
2such retailer files his periodic return. The Department may
3disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
4registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
5only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
6registration has become final.
7    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
8tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
9Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
10Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
11remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
12or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
13shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
14day of the month next following the month during which such tax
15liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
16on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
17during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
181, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
19Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
20Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
21liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
22with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
23preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
24with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
25next following the month during which such tax liability is
26incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before

 

 

HB6614- 82 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
2liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
3liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
4payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
5actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
6Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
7of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
8calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
9the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
10month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
11after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
12payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
13actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
14liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
15the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
16or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, 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. If
20the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
21or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
22begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
23amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
24the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
25calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
26such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,

 

 

HB6614- 83 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

11989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
2amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
3the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
4calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
5actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
6amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
7against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
8that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
9requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
10Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
11of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
12shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
13to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
14quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
15month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
16taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
17computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
18calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
19taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
20the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
21to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
22reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
23threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
24Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
25and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
26the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by

 

 

HB6614- 84 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
2more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
3until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
4Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
5(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
6lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
7average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
8each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
9quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
10show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
11business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
12that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
13foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
14above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
15change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
16shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
17that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
18long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
19the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
20taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
21difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
22amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
23paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
24payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
25minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
26The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to

 

 

HB6614- 85 -LRB099 23583 HLH 51072 b

1govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
2payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
3monthly basis.
4    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
52001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
6quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
7is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
8prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
9excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
10calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
11required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
12Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
13month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
14during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to the
15effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment
16shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's
17actual liability under Section 2d. If the month during which
18such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,

20taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
21taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
22preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax

5quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
6paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
7prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
8calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
9monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
10required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
11interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
12previously made payments for that month in excess of the
13minimum payments previously due.
14    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October

25liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
26the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of

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

3taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
4subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
5the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
6Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
7regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
8subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
9taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
10and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
11of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
12due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
13interest on such difference.
14    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
15Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
16to the Department under this Act for the month which the
17taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
