13the vehicle for a defined period that is longer than one year
14and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division that: (A) is
15a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
16converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
17camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
18living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
19configuration designed for the transportation of not less than
207 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle

23means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
24lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
25monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
26lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount

 

 

10000SB2668sam001- 7 -LRB100 17737 HLH 38221 a

1received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
2that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
3including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
4charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
5Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
6from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
7at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
8motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
9on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
10the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
11tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to pay the tax imposed by this
12Act on those amounts. However, the lessor who purchased the
13motor vehicle assumes the liability for reporting and paying
14the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in the same
15form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local retailers'
16occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the retailer would
17have reported and paid such tax if the retailer had accounted
18for the tax to the Department. For amounts received by the
19lessor from the lessee that are not calculated at the time the
20lease is executed, the lessor must file the return and pay the
21tax to the Department by the due date otherwise required by
22this Act for returns other than transaction returns. If the
23retailer is entitled under this Act to a discount for
24collecting and remitting the tax imposed under this Act to the
25Department with respect to the sale of the motor vehicle to the
26lessor, then the right to the discount provided in this Act

 

 

10000SB2668sam001- 8 -LRB100 17737 HLH 38221 a

1shall be transferred to the lessor with respect to the tax paid
2by the lessor for any amount received by the lessor from the
3lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the
4time the lease is executed; provided that the discount is only
5allowed if the return is timely filed and for amounts timely
6paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or
7after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined
8period of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the
9value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal
10property owned by the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the
11value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal
12property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether the
13trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the lessor.
14In the case of a motor vehicle that is sold for the purpose of
15leasing for a defined period of longer than one year, the sale
16occurs at the time of the delivery of the vehicle, regardless
17of the due date of any lease payments. A lessor who incurs a
18Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the sale of a motor
19vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit against that
20liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the purchase of
21the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid with respect
22to any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the
23leased vehicle that was not calculated at the time the lease
24was executed) if the selling price of the motor vehicle at the
25time of purchase was calculated using the definition of
26"selling price" as defined in this paragraph. Notwithstanding

 

 

10000SB2668sam001- 9 -LRB100 17737 HLH 38221 a

1any other provision of this Act to the contrary, lessors shall
2file all returns and make all payments required under this
3paragraph to the Department by electronic means in the manner
4and form as required by the Department. This paragraph does not
5apply to leases of motor vehicles for which, at the time the
6lease is entered into, the term of the lease is not a defined
7period, including leases with a defined initial period with the
8option to continue the lease on a month-to-month or other basis
9beyond the initial defined period.
10    The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
11construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
12vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
13agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
14agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
15which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
16retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
17occasional sale.
18    "Gross receipts" from the sales of tangible personal
19property at retail means the total selling price or the amount
20of such sales, as hereinbefore defined. In the case of charge
21and time sales, the amount thereof shall be included only as
22and when payments are received by the seller. Receipts or other
23consideration derived by a seller from the sale, transfer or
24assignment of accounts receivable to a wholly owned subsidiary
25will not be deemed payments prior to the time the purchaser
26makes payment on such accounts.

3association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
4private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
5executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed

7    The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
8property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
9being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
10such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
11bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
12business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
13within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is
14engaged in a business which is not subject to the tax imposed
15by this Act because of involving the sale of or a contract to
16sell real estate or a construction contract to improve real
17estate or a construction contract to engineer, install, and
18maintain an integrated system of products, but who, in the
19course of conducting such business, transfers tangible
20personal property to users or consumers in the finished form in
21which it was purchased, and which does not become real estate
22or was not engineered and installed, under any provision of a
23construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
24agreement entered into with some other person arising out of or
25because of such nontaxable business, is engaged in the business
26of selling tangible personal property at retail to the extent

 

 

10000SB2668sam001- 11 -LRB100 17737 HLH 38221 a

1of the value of the tangible personal property so transferred.
2If, in such a transaction, a separate charge is made for the
3tangible personal property so transferred, the value of such
4property, for the purpose of this Act, shall be the amount so
5separately charged, but not less than the cost of such property
6to the transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of
7such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost to the
8transferor of such tangible personal property. Construction
9contracts for the improvement of real estate consisting of
10engineering, installation, and maintenance of voice, data,
11video, security, and all telecommunication systems do not
12constitute engaging in a business of selling tangible personal
13property at retail within the meaning of this Act if they are
14sold at one specified contract price.
15    A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
16(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
17property at retail is a person engaged in the business of
18selling tangible personal property at retail hereunder with
19respect to such sales (and not primarily in a service
20occupation) notwithstanding the fact that such person designs
21and produces such tangible personal property on special order
22for the purchaser and in such a way as to render the property
23of value only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal
24property so produced on special order serves substantially the
25same function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
26property that are sold at retail.
