The | 10 | | Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer and | 11 | | enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties due | 12 | | under this subsection in the manner hereinafter provided; and | 13 | | to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account | 14 | | of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this | 15 | | subsection. In the administration of, and compliance with, this | 16 | | subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this | 17 | | subsection shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | 18 | | immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same | 19 | | conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, | 20 | | exemptions, and definitions of terms and employ the same modes | 21 | | of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a through 1o, 2 | 22 | | through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other than | 23 | | the State rate of tax), 2c through 2h, 3 (except as to the | 24 | | disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5c, | 25 | | 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, | 26 | | 12, 13, and 14 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and all |
| | | SB3952 | - 18 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as | 2 | | if those provisions were set forth herein. | 3 | | Persons subject to any tax imposed under this subsection | 4 | | may reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability under | 5 | | this subsection by separately stating the tax as an additional | 6 | | charge, which charge may be stated in combination, in a single | 7 | | amount, with State taxes that sellers are required to collect | 8 | | under the Use Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket | 9 | | schedules as the Department may prescribe. | 10 | | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | 11 | | made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | 12 | | credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State | 13 | | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the | 14 | | amount specified and to the person named in the notification | 15 | | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | 16 | | Treasurer out of the business district retailers' occupation | 17 | | tax fund. | 18 | | The Department shall immediately pay over to the State | 19 | | Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes, penalties, and | 20 | | interest collected under this subsection for deposit into the | 21 | | business district retailers' occupation tax fund. | 22 | | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | 23 | | beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the Department | 24 | | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | 25 | | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | 26 | | local sales tax increment, as defined in the Innovation |
| | | SB3952 | - 19 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | Development and Economy Act, collected under this subsection | 2 | | during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a | 3 | | STAR bond district. | 4 | | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | 5 | | on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | 6 | | Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | 7 | | disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities | 8 | | from the business district retailers' occupation tax fund, the | 9 | | municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid taxes | 10 | | or penalties under this subsection to the Department during the | 11 | | second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each | 12 | | municipality shall be the amount (not including credit | 13 | | memoranda) collected under this subsection during the second | 14 | | preceding calendar month by the Department plus an amount the | 15 | | Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that | 16 | | were erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not | 17 | | including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during | 18 | | the second preceding calendar month by the Department, less 2% | 19 | | of that amount, which shall be deposited into the Tax | 20 | | Compliance and Administration Fund and shall be used by the | 21 | | Department, subject to appropriation, to cover the costs of the | 22 | | Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of | 23 | | this subsection, on behalf of such municipality, and not | 24 | | including any amount that the Department determines is | 25 | | necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a | 26 | | different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the |
| | | SB3952 | - 20 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | municipality, and not including any amounts that are | 2 | | transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund. Within 10 days | 3 | | after receipt by the Comptroller of the disbursement | 4 | | certification to the municipalities provided for in this | 5 | | subsection to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, | 6 | | the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the | 7 | | respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained | 8 | | in the certification. The proceeds of the tax paid to | 9 | | municipalities under this subsection shall be deposited into | 10 | | the Business District Tax Allocation Fund by the municipality.
| 11 | | An ordinance imposing or discontinuing the tax under this | 12 | | subsection or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall | 13 | | either (i) be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with | 14 | | the Department on or before the first day of April, whereupon | 15 | | the Department, if all other requirements of this subsection | 16 | | are met, shall proceed to administer and enforce this | 17 | | subsection as of the first day of July next following the | 18 | | adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a certified copy | 19 | | thereof filed with the Department on or before the first day of | 20 | | October, whereupon, if all other requirements of this | 21 | | subsection are met, the Department shall proceed to administer | 22 | | and enforce this subsection as of the first day of January next | 23 | | following the adoption and filing. | 24 | | The Department of Revenue shall not administer or enforce | 25 | | an ordinance imposing, discontinuing, or changing the rate of | 26 | | the tax under this subsection, until the municipality also |
| | | SB3952 | - 21 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | provides, in the manner prescribed by the Department, the | 2 | | boundaries of the business district and each address in the | 3 | | business district in such a way that the Department can | 4 | | determine by its address whether a business is located in the | 5 | | business district. The municipality must provide this boundary | 6 | | and address information to the Department on or before April 1 | 7 | | for administration and enforcement of the tax under this | 8 | | subsection by the Department beginning on the following July 1 | 9 | | and on or before October 1 for administration and enforcement | 10 | | of the tax under this subsection by the Department beginning on | 11 | | the following January 1. The Department of Revenue shall not | 12 | | administer or enforce any change made to the boundaries of a | 13 | | business district or address change, addition, or deletion | 14 | | until the municipality reports the boundary change or address | 15 | | change, addition, or deletion to the Department in the manner | 16 | | prescribed by the Department. The municipality must provide | 17 | | this boundary change information or address change, addition, | 18 | | or deletion to the Department on or before April 1 for | 19 | | administration and enforcement by the Department of the change | 20 | | beginning on the following July 1 and on or before October 1 | 21 | | for administration and enforcement by the Department of the | 22 | | change beginning on the following January 1. The retailers in | 23 | | the business district shall be responsible for charging the tax | 24 | | imposed under this subsection. If a retailer is incorrectly | 25 | | included or excluded from the list of those required to collect | 26 | | the tax under this subsection, both the Department of Revenue |
| | | SB3952 | - 22 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | and the retailer shall be held harmless if they reasonably | 2 | | relied on information provided by the municipality. | 3 | | A municipality that imposes the tax under this subsection | 4 | | must submit to the Department of Revenue any other information | 5 | | as the Department may require for the administration and | 6 | | enforcement of the tax.
| 7 | | When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a | 8 | | municipality under this subsection, the Department shall | 9 | | increase or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to | 10 | | offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset | 11 | | amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the | 12 | | previous 6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered. | 13 | | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | 14 | | the municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging | 15 | | in any business which under the Constitution of the United | 16 | | States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State. | 17 | | If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall | 18 | | also be imposed under subsection (c) of this Section. | 19 | | (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a | 20 | | Business District Service Occupation Tax shall also be imposed | 21 | | upon all persons engaged, in the business district, in the | 22 | | business of making sales of service, who, as an incident to | 23 | | making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal | 24 | | property within the business district, either in the form of | 25 | | tangible personal property or in the form of real estate as an | 26 | | incident to a sale of service. The tax shall be imposed at the |
| | | SB3952 | - 23 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | same rate as the tax imposed in subsection (b) and shall not | 2 | | exceed 1% of the selling price of tangible personal property so | 3 | | transferred within the business district, to be imposed only in | 4 | | 0.25% increments. The tax may not be imposed on food for human | 5 | | consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is | 6 | | sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food | 7 | | that has been prepared for immediate consumption),
| 8 | | prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical | 9 | | appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of | 10 | | rendering it usable by a disabled person, and insulin, urine | 11 | | testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for | 12 | | human use. | 13 | | The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil | 14 | | penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be | 15 | | collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The | 16 | | certificate of registration which is issued by the Department | 17 | | to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or under | 18 | | the Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit such registrant to | 19 | | engage in a business which is taxable under any ordinance or | 20 | | resolution enacted pursuant to this subsection without | 21 | | registering separately with the Department under such | 22 | | ordinance or resolution or under this subsection. The | 23 | | Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer and | 24 | | enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties due | 25 | | under this subsection; to dispose of taxes and penalties so | 26 | | collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine |
| | | SB3952 | - 24 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the | 2 | | erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this subsection. In | 3 | | the administration of, and compliance with this subsection, the | 4 | | Department and persons who are subject to this subsection shall | 5 | | have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers | 6 | | and duties, and be subject to the same conditions, | 7 | | restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions, | 8 | | and definitions of terms and employ the same modes of procedure | 9 | | as are prescribed in Sections 2, 2a through 2d, 3 through 3-50 | 10 | | (in respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate | 11 | | of tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to | 12 | | the business district), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction | 13 | | to which the tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in | 14 | | that Section 8 shall be the municipality), 9 (except as to the | 15 | | disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that | 16 | | the returned merchandise credit for this tax may not be taken | 17 | | against any State tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference | 18 | | therein to Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 | 19 | | (except that any reference to the State shall mean the | 20 | | municipality), the first paragraph of Section 15, and Sections | 21 | | 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and all | 22 | | provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as | 23 | | if those provisions were set forth herein. | 24 | | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | 25 | | granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | 26 | | serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the |
| | | SB3952 | - 25 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in | 2 | | combination, in a single amount, with State tax that servicemen | 3 | | are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in | 4 | | accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may | 5 | | prescribe. | 6 | | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | 7 | | made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing | 8 | | credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State | 9 | | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the | 10 | | amount specified, and to the person named, in such notification | 11 | | from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by the State | 12 | | Treasurer out of the business district retailers' occupation | 13 | | tax fund. | 14 | | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | 15 | | Treasurer, ex-officio, as trustee, all taxes, penalties, and | 16 | | interest collected under this subsection for deposit into the | 17 | | business district retailers' occupation tax fund. | 18 | | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | 19 | | beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the Department | 20 | | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | 21 | | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | 22 | | local sales tax increment, as defined in the Innovation | 23 | | Development and Economy Act, collected under this subsection | 24 | | during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a | 25 | | STAR bond district. | 26 | | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, |
| | | SB3952 | - 26 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | 2 | | Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | 3 | | disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities | 4 | | from the business district retailers' occupation tax fund, the | 5 | | municipalities to be those from which suppliers and servicemen | 6 | | have paid taxes or penalties under this subsection to the | 7 | | Department during the second preceding calendar month. The | 8 | | amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount (not | 9 | | including credit memoranda) collected under this subsection | 10 | | during the second preceding calendar month by the Department, | 11 | | less 2% of that amount, which shall be deposited into the Tax | 12 | | Compliance and Administration Fund and shall be used by the | 13 | | Department, subject to appropriation, to cover the costs of the | 14 | | Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of | 15 | | this subsection, and not including an amount equal to the | 16 | | amount of refunds made during the second preceding calendar | 17 | | month by the Department on behalf of such municipality, and not | 18 | | including any amounts that are transferred to the STAR Bonds | 19 | | Revenue Fund. Within 10 days after receipt, by the Comptroller, | 20 | | of the disbursement certification to the municipalities, | 21 | | provided for in this subsection to be given to the Comptroller | 22 | | by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be | 23 | | drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the | 24 | | directions contained in such certification. The proceeds of the | 25 | | tax paid to municipalities under this subsection shall be | 26 | | deposited into the Business District Tax Allocation Fund by the |
| | | SB3952 | - 27 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | municipality. | 2 | | An ordinance imposing or discontinuing the tax under this | 3 | | subsection or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall | 4 | | either (i) be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with | 5 | | the Department on or before the first day of April, whereupon | 6 | | the Department, if all other requirements of this subsection | 7 | | are met, shall proceed to administer and enforce this | 8 | | subsection as of the first day of July next following the | 9 | | adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a certified copy | 10 | | thereof filed with the Department on or before the first day of | 11 | | October, whereupon, if all other conditions of this subsection | 12 | | are met, the Department shall proceed to administer and enforce | 13 | | this subsection as of the first day of January next following | 14 | | the adoption and filing. | 15 | | The Department of Revenue shall not administer or enforce | 16 | | an ordinance imposing, discontinuing, or changing the rate of | 17 | | the tax under this subsection, until the municipality also | 18 | | provides, in the manner prescribed by the Department, the | 19 | | boundaries of the business district in such a way that the | 20 | | Department can determine by its address whether a business is | 21 | | located in the business district. The municipality must provide | 22 | | this boundary and address information to the Department on or | 23 | | before April 1 for administration and enforcement of the tax | 24 | | under this subsection by the Department beginning on the | 25 | | following July 1 and on or before October 1 for administration | 26 | | and enforcement of the tax under this subsection by the |
| | | SB3952 | - 28 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | Department beginning on the following January 1. The Department | 2 | | of Revenue shall not administer or enforce any change made to | 3 | | the boundaries of a business district or address change, | 4 | | addition, or deletion until the municipality reports the | 5 | | boundary change or address change, addition, or deletion to the | 6 | | Department in the manner prescribed by the Department. The | 7 | | municipality must provide this boundary change information or | 8 | | address change, addition, or deletion to the Department on or | 9 | | before April 1 for administration and enforcement by the | 10 | | Department of the change beginning on the following July 1 and | 11 | | on or before October 1 for administration and enforcement by | 12 | | the Department of the change beginning on the following January | 13 | | 1. The retailers in the business district shall be responsible | 14 | | for charging the tax imposed under this subsection. If a | 15 | | retailer is incorrectly included or excluded from the list of | 16 | | those required to collect the tax under this subsection, both | 17 | | the Department of Revenue and the retailer shall be held | 18 | | harmless if they reasonably relied on information provided by | 19 | | the municipality. | 20 | | A municipality that imposes the tax under this subsection | 21 | | must submit to the Department of Revenue any other information | 22 | | as the Department may require for the administration and | 23 | | enforcement of the tax.
| 24 | | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | 25 | | the municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging | 26 | | in any business which under the Constitution of the United |
| | | SB3952 | - 29 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | States may not be made the subject of taxation by the State. | 2 | | If a tax is imposed under this subsection (c), a tax shall | 3 | | also be imposed under subsection (b) of this Section. | 4 | | (d) By ordinance, a municipality that has designated a | 5 | | business district under this Law may impose an occupation tax | 6 | | upon all persons engaged in the business district in the | 7 | | business of renting, leasing, or letting rooms in a hotel, as | 8 | | defined in the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act, at a rate | 9 | | not to exceed 1% of the gross rental receipts from the renting, | 10 | | leasing, or letting of hotel rooms within the business | 11 | | district, to be imposed only in 0.25% increments, excluding, | 12 | | however, from gross rental receipts the proceeds of renting, | 13 | | leasing, or letting to permanent residents of a hotel, as | 14 | | defined in the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act, and | 15 | | proceeds from the tax imposed under subsection (c) of Section | 16 | | 13 of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority Act. | 17 | | The tax imposed by the municipality under this subsection | 18 | | and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident to | 19 | | that tax shall be collected and enforced by the municipality | 20 | | imposing the tax. The municipality shall have full power to | 21 | | administer and enforce this subsection, to collect all taxes | 22 | | and penalties due under this subsection, to dispose of taxes | 23 | | and penalties so collected in the manner provided in this | 24 | | subsection, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda | 25 | | arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty | 26 | | under this subsection. In the administration of and compliance |
| | | SB3952 | - 30 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | with this subsection, the municipality and persons who are | 2 | | subject to this subsection shall have the same rights, | 3 | | remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, shall be | 4 | | subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, | 5 | | penalties, and definitions of terms, and shall employ the same | 6 | | modes of procedure as are employed with respect to a tax | 7 | | adopted by the municipality under Section 8-3-14 of this Code. | 8 | | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | 9 | | granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | 10 | | tax liability for that tax by separately stating that tax as an | 11 | | additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination, | 12 | | in a single amount, with State taxes imposed under the Hotel | 13 | | Operators' Occupation Tax Act, and with any other tax. | 14 | | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | 15 | | a municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging | 16 | | in any business which under the Constitution of the United | 17 | | States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State. | 18 | | The proceeds of the tax imposed under this subsection shall | 19 | | be deposited into the Business District Tax Allocation Fund.
| 20 | | (e) Obligations secured by the Business District Tax | 21 | | Allocation Fund may be issued to provide for the payment or | 22 | | reimbursement of business district project costs. Those | 23 | | obligations, when so issued, shall be retired in the manner | 24 | | provided in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of those | 25 | | obligations by the receipts of taxes imposed pursuant to | 26 | | subsections (10) (11) and (11) (12) of Section 11-74.3-3 and by |
| | | SB3952 | - 31 - | LRB096 23972 RLJ 43369 b |
|
| 1 | | other revenue designated or pledged by the municipality. A | 2 | | municipality may in the ordinance pledge, for any period of | 3 | | time up to and including the dissolution date, all or any part | 4 | | of the funds in and to be deposited in the Business District | 5 | | Tax Allocation Fund to the payment of business district project | 6 | | costs and obligations. Whenever a municipality pledges all of | 7 | | the funds to the credit of a business district tax allocation | 8 | | fund to secure obligations issued or to be issued to pay or | 9 | | reimburse business district project costs, the municipality | 10 | | may specifically provide that funds remaining to the credit of | 11 | | such business district tax allocation fund after the payment of | 12 | | such obligations shall be accounted for annually and shall be | 13 | | deemed to be "surplus" funds, and such "surplus" funds shall be | 14 | | expended by the municipality for any business district project | 15 | | cost as approved in the business district plan. Whenever a | 16 | | municipality pledges less than all of the monies to the credit | 17 | | of a business district tax allocation fund to secure | 18 | | obligations issued or to be issued to pay or reimburse business | 19 | | district project costs, the municipality shall provide that | 20 | | monies to the credit of the business district tax allocation | 21 | | fund and not subject to such pledge or otherwise encumbered or | 22 | | required for payment of contractual obligations for specific | 23 | | business district project costs shall be calculated annually | 24 | | and shall be deemed to be "surplus" funds, and such "surplus" | 25 | | funds shall be expended by the municipality for any business | 26 | | district project cost as approved in the business district |
