11 of its total trips for that period or for greater than 50% of
12 its total miles for that period. The person claiming the
13 exemption for a trailer or trailers that will not be dedicated
14 to a motor vehicle or group of motor vehicles shall make an
15 election at the time of purchase to use either the trips or
16 mileage method. Persons who purchased trailers prior to July 1,
17 2004 that are not dedicated to a motor vehicle or group of
18 motor vehicles shall make an election to use either the trips
19 or mileage method and document that election in their books and
20 records. If no election is made under this subsection to use
21 the trips or mileage method, the person shall be deemed to have
22 chosen the mileage method. Any election to use either the trips
23 or mileage method will remain in effect for that trailer for
24 any period for which the Department may issue a notice of tax
25 liability under this Act.
26     For purposes of determining qualifying trips or miles,
27 trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers that carry property
28 for hire, even just between points in Illinois, will be
29 considered used for hire in interstate commerce if the
30 trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers transport property
31 whose shipments originate or terminate outside Illinois. This
32 definition applies to all property purchased for the purpose of
33 being attached to those trailers, semitrailers, or pole
34 trailers as a part thereof. In lieu of a person providing

 

 

09300HB0714sam003 - 15 - LRB093 05817 MKM 52110 a

1 documentation regarding the qualifying use of each individual
2 trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer, that person may document
3 such qualifying use by providing documentation of the
4 following:
5         (1) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is
6     dedicated to a motor vehicle that qualifies as rolling
7     stock moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of
8     this Section, then that trailer, semitrailer, or pole
9     trailer qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate
10     commerce under this subsection.
11         (2) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is
12     dedicated to a group of motor vehicles that all qualify as
13     rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under
14     subsection (c) of this Section, then that trailer,
15     semitrailer, or pole trailer qualifies as rolling stock
16     moving in interstate commerce under this subsection.
17         (3) If one or more trailers, semitrailers, or pole
18     trailers are dedicated to a group of motor vehicles and not
19     all of those motor vehicles in that group qualify as
20     rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under
21     subsection (c) of this Section, then the percentage of
22     those trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers that
23     qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce
24     under this subsection is equal to the percentage of those
25     motor vehicles in that group that qualify as rolling stock
26     moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of this
27     Section to which those trailer, semitrailers, or pole
28     trailers are dedicated. However, to determine the
29     qualification for the exemption provided under this item
30     (3), the mathematical application of the qualifying
31     percentage to one or more trailers, semitrailers, or pole
32     trailers under this subpart shall not be allowed as to any
33     fraction of a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer.

20 any period for which the Department may issue a notice of tax
21 liability under this Act.
22     For purposes of determining qualifying trips or miles,
23 trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers that carry property
24 for hire, even just between points in Illinois, will be
25 considered used for hire in interstate commerce if the
26 trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers transport property
27 whose shipments originate or terminate outside Illinois. This
28 definition applies to all property purchased for the purpose of
29 being attached to those trailers, semitrailers, or pole
30 trailers as a part thereof. In lieu of a person providing
31 documentation regarding the qualifying use of each individual
32 trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer, that person may document
33 such qualifying use by providing documentation of the
34 following:

 

 

09300HB0714sam003 - 28 - LRB093 05817 MKM 52110 a

1         (1) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is
2     dedicated to a motor vehicle that qualifies as rolling
3     stock moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of
4     this Section, then that trailer, semitrailer, or pole
5     trailer qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate
6     commerce under this subsection.
7         (2) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is
8     dedicated to a group of motor vehicles that all qualify as
9     rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under
10     subsection (c) of this Section, then that trailer,
11     semitrailer, or pole trailer qualifies as rolling stock
12     moving in interstate commerce under this subsection.
13         (3) If one or more trailers, semitrailers, or pole
14     trailers are dedicated to a group of motor vehicles and not
15     all of those motor vehicles in that group qualify as
16     rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under
17     subsection (c) of this Section, then the percentage of
18     those trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers that
19     qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce
20     under this subsection is equal to the percentage of those
21     motor vehicles in that group that qualify as rolling stock
22     moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of this
23     Section to which those trailer, semitrailers, or pole
24     trailers are dedicated. However, to determine the
25     qualification for the exemption provided under this item
26     (3), the mathematical application of the qualifying
27     percentage to one or more trailers, semitrailers, or pole
28     trailers under this subpart shall not be allowed as to any
29     fraction of a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer.

11 for hire in interstate commerce, even just between points in
12 Illinois, if the motor vehicle and trailer transports persons

22 period the rolling stock has carried persons or property for
23 hire in interstate commerce for 51% of its total trips and
24 transports persons whose journeys or property whose shipments
25 originate or terminate outside Illinois. Trips that are only
26 between points in Illinois will not be counted as interstate
27 trips when calculating whether the tangible personal property
28 qualifies for the exemption but such trips will be included in
29 total trips taken.
30     (c) Beginning July 1, 2004, "use as rolling stock moving in
31 interstate commerce" in paragraphs (d) and (d-1) of the

1 carried persons or property for hire in interstate commerce for
2 greater than 50% of its total trips for that period or for
3 greater than 50% of its total miles for that period. The person
4 claiming the exemption shall make an election at the time of
5 purchase to use either the trips or mileage method. Persons who
6 purchased motor vehicles prior to July 1, 2004 shall make an
7 election to use either the trips or mileage method and document
8 that election in their books and records. If no election is
9 made under this subsection to use the trips or mileage method,
10 the person shall be deemed to have chosen the mileage method.
11 Any election to use either the trips or mileage method will
12 remain in effect for that motor vehicle for any period for
13 which the Department may issue a notice of tax liability under
14 this Act.
15     For purposes of determining qualifying trips or miles,
16 motor vehicles that carry persons or property for hire, even

1 that period or for greater than 50% of its total miles for that
2 period. The person claiming the exemption for a trailer or
3 trailers that will not be dedicated to a motor vehicle or group
4 of motor vehicles shall make an election at the time of
5 purchase to use either the trips or mileage method. Persons who
6 purchased trailers prior to July 1, 2004 that are not dedicated
7 to a motor vehicle or group of motor vehicles shall make an
8 election to use either the trips or mileage method and document
9 that election in their books and records. If no election is
10 made under this subsection to use the trips or mileage method,
11 the person shall be deemed to have chosen the mileage method.
12 Any election to use either the trips or mileage method will

23 trailers as a part thereof. In lieu of a person providing
24 documentation regarding the qualifying use of each individual
25 trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer, that person may document
26 such qualifying use by providing documentation of the
27 following:
28         (1) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is
29     dedicated to a motor vehicle that qualifies as rolling
30     stock moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of
31     this Section, then that trailer, semitrailer, or pole
32     trailer qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate
33     commerce under this subsection.
34         (2) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is

1     dedicated to a group of motor vehicles that all qualify as
2     rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under
3     subsection (c) of this Section, then that trailer,
4     semitrailer, or pole trailer qualifies as rolling stock
5     moving in interstate commerce under this subsection.
6         (3) If one or more trailers, semitrailers, or pole
7     trailers are dedicated to a group of motor vehicles and not
8     all of those motor vehicles in that group qualify as
9     rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under
10     subsection (c) of this Section, then the percentage of
11     those trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers that
12     qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce
13     under this subsection is equal to the percentage of those
14     motor vehicles in that group that qualify as rolling stock
15     moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of this
16     Section to which those trailer, semitrailers, or pole
17     trailers are dedicated. However, to determine the
18     qualification for the exemption provided under this item
19     (3), the mathematical application of the qualifying
20     percentage to one or more trailers, semitrailers, or pole
21     trailers under this subpart shall not be allowed as to any
22     fraction of a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer.
