|
|
| 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 Simplified Municipal Telecommunications Tax |
| 5 |
| Act is amended by changing Section 5-5 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (35 ILCS 636/5-5)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 5-5. Legislative intent. The General Assembly has |
| 8 |
| authorized the
corporate
authorities of any municipality to |
| 9 |
| impose various fees and taxes on
the privilege of originating |
| 10 |
| or receiving telecommunications, and on
retailers engaged in |
| 11 |
| the business of transmitting those
such
telecommunications, |
| 12 |
| all of which are remitted by such retailers
directly to the |
| 13 |
| imposing municipality.
To simplify the imposition and |
| 14 |
| collection of municipal
telecommunications taxes and to reduce |
| 15 |
| complication and burden,
the General Assembly is repealing
the |
| 16 |
| municipal telecommunications
tax, the municipal tax on the |
| 17 |
| occupation or privilege of transmitting
messages, and the |
| 18 |
| municipal infrastructure maintenance fee, and is enacting
this |
| 19 |
| Simplified
Municipal Telecommunications Tax Act which
provides |
| 20 |
| for a single municipally imposed telecommunications tax
which, |
| 21 |
| for municipalities with populations of less than 500,000, will
|
| 22 |
| be collected by the Illinois Department of Revenue, but which, |
| 23 |
| for
municipalities of 500,000 or
more, will continue to be |
| 24 |
| collected by such municipalities.
