SB3469- 2 -LRB101 19661 HLH 69151 b

1    If a majority of all votes cast on the proposition are in
2favor of the proposition, the Authority is authorized to impose
3the tax.
4    (b) The Authority shall impose the retailers' occupation
5tax upon all persons engaged in the business of selling
6tangible personal property at retail in the metropolitan area,
7at the rate approved by referendum, on the gross receipts from
8the sales made in the course of such business within the
9metropolitan area. Beginning December 1, 2019 and through
10December 31, 2020, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
11fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
12purposes. If the Authority does not have an airport-related
13purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
14aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The Authority must
15comply with the certification requirements for airport-related
16purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
17Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
18has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
19Finance Act. Beginning January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed
20on sales of aviation fuel for so long as the revenue use
21requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are
22binding on the Authority.
23    The tax imposed under this Section and all civil penalties
24that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected
25and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The Department has
26full power to administer and enforce this Section; to collect

 

 

SB3469- 3 -LRB101 19661 HLH 69151 b

1all taxes and penalties so collected in the manner provided in
2this Section; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
3arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
4hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
5Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
6Section shall (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
7immunities, powers and duties, (ii) be subject to the same
8conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions,
9exemptions, and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same
10modes of procedure as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1,
111c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2, 2-5, 2-5.5, 2-10 (in
12respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate of
13tax), 2-12, 2-15 through 2-70, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 (except as to the
14disposition of taxes and penalties collected and provisions
15related to quarter monthly payments, and except that the
16retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation
17fuel that are subject to the revenue use requirements of 49
18U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,
195f, 5g, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12,
20and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of
21the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those
22provisions were set forth in this subsection.
23    Persons subject to any tax imposed under this subsection
24may reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability by
25separately stating the tax as an additional charge, which
26charge may be stated in combination, in a single amount, with

 

 

SB3469- 4 -LRB101 19661 HLH 69151 b

1State taxes that sellers are required to collect, in accordance
2with such bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
3    Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
4made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
5credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
6Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
7amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
8from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
9Treasurer out of the tax fund referenced under paragraph (g) of

11appropriate.
12    If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall
13also be imposed at the same rate under subsections (c) and (d)
14of this Section.
15    For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
16under this Section is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer
17of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail
18at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
19is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
20coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
21seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
22sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
23interstate or foreign commerce.
24    Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize the
25Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
26business which under the Constitution of the United States may

5business of making sales of service, who, as an incident to
6making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal
7property within the metropolitan area as an incident to a sale
8of service. The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
9penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
10collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue.
11    Beginning December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020,
12this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the
13tax revenue is expended for airport-related purposes. If the
14Authority does not have an airport-related purpose to which it
15dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is
16excluded from the tax. The Authority must comply with the
17certification requirements for airport-related purposes under
18Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. Beginning
19January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
20fuel for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.

14in the business of selling tangible personal property, other

SB3469- 22 -LRB101 19661 HLH 69151 b

1the District does not have an airport-related purpose to which
2it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel

16the retailer to engage in a business that is taxable without
17registering separately with the Department under an ordinance
18or resolution under this Section. The Department has full power

20and penalties due under this Section, to dispose of taxes and
21penalties so collected in the manner provided in this Section,
22and to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on

16Section.
17    Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
18granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
19sellers' tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
20additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
21in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
22to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed
23schedules as the Department may prescribe.

14rate under the Service Occupation Tax Act. Beginning December
151, 2019 and through December 31, 2020, this tax may not be
16imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
17expended for airport-related purposes. If the District does not
18have an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates aviation
19fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel shall be excluded from
20tax. The board must comply with the certification requirements
21for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the
22Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Act,
23"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section

17sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
18interstate or foreign commerce.

9fuel is expended for airport-related purposes. If there is no
10airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel tax revenue is

13all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof
14shall be collected and enforced by the State Department of

6from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State

14of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail
15at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
16is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
17coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
18seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
19sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
20interstate or foreign commerce.
21    No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection
22on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of
