LRB9206045MWdv
1 AN ACT concerning tax increment financing.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
5 Section 9 as follows:
6 (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
7 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft,
8 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
9 with an agency of this State, each retailer required or
10 authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
11 to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
12 provided) at the time when he is required to file his return
13 for the period during which such tax was collected, less a
14 discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
15 after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
16 greater, which is allowed to reimburse the retailer for
17 expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
18 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
19 data to the Department on request. In the case of retailers
20 who report and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
21 basis, as provided in this Section, such discount shall be
22 taken with each such tax remittance instead of when such
23 retailer files his periodic return. A retailer need not
24 remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
25 that he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
26 by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the
27 sale of the same property.
28 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
29 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
30 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
31 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
-2- LRB9206045MWdv
1 return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
2 as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
3 are required to be registered with an agency of this State),
4 may collect for each tax return period, only the tax
5 applicable to that part of the selling price actually
6 received during such tax return period.
7 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
8 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall
9 file a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return
10 shall be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and
11 shall furnish such information as the Department may
12 reasonably require.
13 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
14 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
15 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
16 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
17 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
18 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
19 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
20 stating:
21 1. The name of the seller;
22 2. The address of the principal place of business
23 from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
24 personal property at retail in this State;
25 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
26 him during the preceding calendar month from sales of
27 tangible personal property by him during such preceding
28 calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
29 sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
30 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
31 this Act;
32 5. The amount of tax due;
33 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
34 6. Such other reasonable information as the
-3- LRB9206045MWdv
1 Department may require.
2 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
3 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
4 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
5 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
6 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
7 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
8 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
9 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
10 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
11 make all payments required by rules of the Department by
12 electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
13 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
14 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
15 Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
16 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000
17 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
18 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "annual
19 tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
20 under this Act, and under all other State and local
21 occupation and use tax laws administered by the Department,
22 for the immediately preceding calendar year. The term
23 "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
24 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
25 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by
26 the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
27 divided by 12.
28 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
29 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
30 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
31 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
32 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
33 1.
34 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
-4- LRB9206045MWdv
1 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
2 with the permission of the Department.
3 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
4 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
5 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
6 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
7 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
8 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
9 requirements of this Section.
10 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
11 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the
12 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
13 Act, the Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the
14 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a
15 return with the Department each month by the 20th day of the
16 month next following the month during which such tax
17 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the
18 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of
19 the month during which such liability is incurred. On and
20 after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax
21 liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
22 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
23 Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the preceding
24 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
25 Department each month by the 20th day of the month next
26 following the month during which such tax liability is
27 incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or
28 before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
29 which such liability is incurred. If the month during which
30 such tax liability is incurred began prior to January 1,
31 1985, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the
32 taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an amount set by
33 the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly
34 liability of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding
-5- LRB9206045MWdv
1 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
2 liability and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter
3 period). If the month during which such tax liability is
4 incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and prior to
5 January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
6 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
7 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
8 of the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
9 liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and
10 prior to January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount
11 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
12 month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
13 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
14 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
15 January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on
16 or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
17 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
18 month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
19 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
20 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
21 January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment
22 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
23 liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
24 for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of
25 the taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly
26 reporting period. The amount of such quarter monthly
27 payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
28 the taxpayer's return for that month. Before October 1,
29 2000, once applicable, the requirement of the making of
30 quarter monthly payments to the Department shall continue
31 until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
32 Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
33 (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
34 lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
-6- LRB9206045MWdv
1 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
2 computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding
3 complete calendar quarter period is less than $10,000.
4 However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
5 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
6 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
7 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
8 will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
9 taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
10 taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000,
11 once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
12 monthly payments to the Department shall continue until such
13 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
14 the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
15 month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
16 is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
17 liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
18 quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
19 is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
20 Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
21 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
22 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
23 foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold
24 stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department
25 for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The
26 Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
27 unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and
28 not likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly
29 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
30 this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
31 and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
32 and the amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and
33 timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
34 made payments for that month to the Department in excess of
-7- LRB9206045MWdv
1 the minimum payments previously due as provided in this
2 Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
3 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
4 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
5 than a calendar monthly basis.
6 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
7 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
8 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
9 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
10 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit
11 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment,
12 which memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the
13 Department in payment of tax liability subsequently to be
14 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
15 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
16 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
17 or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
18 rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Department,
19 except that if such excess payment is shown on an original
20 monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
21 memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
22 If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such
23 excess payment against tax liability subsequently to be
24 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
25 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
26 Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
27 rules and regulations prescribed by the Department. If the
28 Department subsequently determines that all or any part of
29 the credit taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
30 taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
31 by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
32 and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
33 penalties and interest on such difference.
34 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
-8- LRB9206045MWdv
1 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
2 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
3 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
4 with the return for January, February, and March of a given
5 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
6 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
7 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
8 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
9 the return for October, November and December of a given year
10 being due by January 20 of the following year.
11 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
12 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
13 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
14 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
15 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
16 20 of the following year.
17 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
18 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
19 monthly returns.
20 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
21 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
22 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
23 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
24 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
25 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
26 month after discontinuing such business.
27 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
28 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
29 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
30 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
31 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
32 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
33 personal property which the retailer sells, except that if,
34 in the same transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft,
-9- LRB9206045MWdv
1 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
2 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
3 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
4 the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft,
5 watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than
6 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a
7 purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as provided
8 in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may report the
9 transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
10 trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on
11 the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
12 For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
13 Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
14 the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft,
15 or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
16 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
17 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
18 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
19 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
20 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
21 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
22 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
23 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
24 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
25 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
26 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
27 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
28 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
29 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
30 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
31 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
32 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
33 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
34 the property sold; such other information as is required in
-10- LRB9206045MWdv
1 Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
2 information as the Department may reasonably require.
3 The transaction reporting return in the case of
4 watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
5 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
6 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
7 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
8 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
9 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
10 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
11 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
12 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
13 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
14 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
15 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
16 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
17 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of
18 the property sold, and such other information as the
19 Department may reasonably require.
20 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
21 later than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item
22 that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any
23 time sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The
24 transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of
25 exemption from the tax that is imposed by this Act may be
26 transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
27 which, or State officer with whom, the tangible personal
28 property must be titled or registered (if titling or
29 registration is required) if the Department and such agency
30 or State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
31 the processing of applications for title or registration.
32 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
33 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
34 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
-11- LRB9206045MWdv
1 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
2 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax
3 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
4 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
5 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
6 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
7 personal property that is involved (if titling or
8 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
9 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
10 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
11 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
12 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
13 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
14 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
15 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
16 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
17 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
18 mandate of this paragraph.
19 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
20 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
21 of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
22 the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user
23 has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
24 to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the
25 Department being satisfied of the truth of such
26 certification) transmit the information required by the
27 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
28 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
29 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
30 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
31 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
32 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
33 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
34 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
-12- LRB9206045MWdv
1 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
2 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
3 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
4 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
5 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells
6 and the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
7 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof
8 to the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
9 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
10 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
11 to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
12 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use
13 tax which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to
14 the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
15 tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department
16 by such retailer. If the retailer has not previously
17 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he is
18 entitled to no deduction under this Act upon refunding such
19 tax to the purchaser.
20 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall
21 also include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the
22 total tax covered by such return upon the selling price of
23 tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from a
24 retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
25 collected from the retailer filing such return, and such
26 retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
27 when filing such return.
28 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
29 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
30 joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
31 file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
32 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
33 required by both Acts on the one form.
34 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
-13- LRB9206045MWdv
1 with the Department under separate registration under this
2 Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
3 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
4 shall file separate returns for each such registered
5 business.
6 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
7 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
8 special fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created,
9 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%
10 tax on sales of food for human consumption which is to be
11 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
12 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which has been
13 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
14 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
15 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used
16 by diabetics.
17 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
18 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
19 of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
20 6.25% general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
21 property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
22 retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of
23 this State's government.
24 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
25 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
26 special fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue
27 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
28 on the selling price of tangible personal property, other
29 than tangible personal property which is purchased outside
30 Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is titled or
31 registered by an agency of this State's government.
32 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
33 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of
34 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
-14- LRB9206045MWdv
1 1.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
2 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
3 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
4 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
5 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
6 property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
7 retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of
8 this State's government.
9 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
10 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
11 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
12 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
13 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
14 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
15 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
16 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
17 to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9
18 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
19 Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
20 hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
21 or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter
22 called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
23 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
24 Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount
25 (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
26 Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
27 paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
28 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and further
29 provided, that if on the last business day of any month the
30 sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
31 the Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund
32 during such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
33 month to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local
34 Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the
-15- LRB9206045MWdv
1 Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference
2 shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from
3 other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax
4 Acts; and, further provided, that in no event shall the
5 payments required under the preceding proviso result in
6 aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
7 this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater
8 of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount

20 Section 10. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by
21 changing Section 9 as follows:
22 (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
23 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to
24 collect the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department
25 the amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the
26 time when he is required to file his return for the period
27 during which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1%
28 prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1,
29 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
30 allowed to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in
31 collecting the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing
32 returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to the
-20- LRB9206045MWdv
1 Department on request. A serviceman need not remit that part
2 of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
3 to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
4 Tax Act with respect to his sale of service involving the
5 incidental transfer by him of the same property.
6 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
7 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
8 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
9 month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to
10 be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed
11 on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
12 information as the Department may reasonably require.
13 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
14 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
15 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
16 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
17 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
18 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
19 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
20 stating:
21 1. The name of the seller;
22 2. The address of the principal place of business
23 from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
24 State;
25 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
26 him during the preceding calendar month, including
27 receipts from charge and time sales, but less all
28 deductions allowed by law;
29 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
30 this Act;
31 5. The amount of tax due;
32 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
33 6. Such other reasonable information as the
34 Department may require.
-21- LRB9206045MWdv
1 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
2 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
3 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
4 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
5 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
6 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
7 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
8 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
9 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
10 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
11 by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
12 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
13 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
14 Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
15 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000
16 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
17 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "annual
18 tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
19 under this Act, and under all other State and local
20 occupation and use tax laws administered by the Department,
21 for the immediately preceding calendar year. The term
22 "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
23 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
24 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by
25 the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
26 divided by 12.
27 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
28 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
29 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
30 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
31 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
32 1.
33 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
34 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
-22- LRB9206045MWdv
1 with the permission of the Department.
2 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
3 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
4 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
5 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
6 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
7 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
8 requirements of this Section.
9 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
10 return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability
11 to the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
12 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
13 with the return for January, February and March of a given
14 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
15 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
16 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
17 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
18 the return for October, November and December of a given year
19 being due by January 20 of the following year.
20 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
21 or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly
22 tax liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
23 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
24 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
25 20 of the following year.
26 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
27 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
28 monthly returns.
29 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
30 concerning the time within which a serviceman may file his
31 return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
32 a kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
33 returns under this Act, such serviceman shall file a final
34 return under this Act with the Department not more than 1
-23- LRB9206045MWdv
1 month after discontinuing such business.
2 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
3 selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
4 thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds
5 the selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
6 shall also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected
7 from the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in
8 which he refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman
9 may deduct the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
10 purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation
11 Tax, retailers' occupation tax or use tax which such
12 serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
13 as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the tax
14 to be deducted shall previously have been remitted to the
15 Department by such serviceman. If the serviceman shall not
16 previously have remitted the amount of such tax to the
17 Department, he shall be entitled to no deduction hereunder
18 upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
19 Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also
20 include the total tax upon the selling price of tangible
21 personal property purchased for use by him as an incident to
22 a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
23 of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
24 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
25 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
26 joint return which will enable servicemen, who are required
27 to file returns hereunder and also under the Service
28 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
29 required by both Acts on the one form.
30 Where the serviceman has more than one business
31 registered with the Department under separate registration
32 hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
33 due as a single return covering all such registered
34 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
-24- LRB9206045MWdv
1 registered business.
2 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
3 shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
4 fund in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for the
5 preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of food for human
6 consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
7 is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
8 which has been prepared for immediate consumption) and

16 property, other than tangible personal property which is
17 purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and
18 which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
19 government.
20 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
21 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of
22 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
23 1.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
24 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
25 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
26 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
27 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
28 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
29 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
30 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
31 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
32 to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9
33 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
34 Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being

1 hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
2 or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter
3 called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred

5 Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount
6 (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
7 Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
8 paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
9 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and further
10 provided, that if on the last business day of any month the
11 sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
12 the Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund
13 during such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
14 month to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local
15 Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the
16 Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference
17 shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from
18 other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax
19 Acts; and, further provided, that in no event shall the
20 payments required under the preceding proviso result in
21 aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
22 this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater
23 of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
24 for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
25 payable into the Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b)
26 shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
27 on deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued
28 and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
29 sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
30 to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the
31 defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
32 any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and
33 on any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees
34 and costs payable with respect thereto, all as certified by

2 business day of any month in which Bonds are outstanding
3 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
4 moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond Account in the
5 Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less than the

12 Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build
13 Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
14 shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)

25 Section 15. The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
26 changing Section 9 as follows:
27 (35 ILCS 115/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.109)
28 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to
29 collect the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department
30 the amount of such tax at the time when he is required to
31 file his return for the period during which such tax was
32 collectible, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
-30- LRB9206045MWdv
1 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per
2 calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
3 reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting
4 the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
5 remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department on
6 request.
7 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
8 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
9 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
10 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
11 return is filed, the serviceman, in collecting the tax may
12 collect, for each tax return period, only the tax applicable
13 to the part of the selling price actually received during
14 such tax return period.
15 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
16 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
17 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
18 month in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
19 be promulgated by the Department of Revenue. Such return
20 shall be filed on a form prescribed by the Department and
21 shall contain such information as the Department may
22 reasonably require.
23 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
24 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
25 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
26 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
27 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
28 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
29 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
30 stating:
31 1. The name of the seller;
32 2. The address of the principal place of business
33 from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
34 State;
-31- LRB9206045MWdv
1 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
2 him during the preceding calendar month, including
3 receipts from charge and time sales, but less all
4 deductions allowed by law;
5 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
6 this Act;
7 5. The amount of tax due;
8 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
9 6. Such other reasonable information as the
10 Department may require.
11 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
12 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
13 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
14 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
15 A serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
16 certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
17 Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
18 the purchaser provides the appropriate documentation as
19 required by Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act. A
20 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted by a
21 serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
22 Act, may be used by that serviceman to satisfy Service
23 Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in the
24 certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
25 tax from a qualifying purchase.
26 If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the

28 his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
29 return for January, February and March of a given year being
30 due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May
31 and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
32 with the return for July, August and September of a given
33 year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
34 return for October, November and December of a given year
-32- LRB9206045MWdv
1 being due by January 20 of the following year.
2 If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
3 Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
4 his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return
5 for a given year being due by January 20 of the following
6 year.
7 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
8 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
9 monthly returns.
10 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
11 concerning the time within which a serviceman may file his
12 return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
13 a kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
14 returns under this Act, such serviceman shall file a final
15 return under this Act with the Department not more than 1
16 month after discontinuing such business.
17 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
18 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
19 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
20 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
21 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more

25 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
26 Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October
27 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of
28 $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of
29 the Department by electronic funds transfer. The term
30 "annual tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's
31 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
32 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
33 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year. The
34 term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
-33- LRB9206045MWdv
1 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
2 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by
3 the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
4 divided by 12.
5 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
6 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
7 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers
8 required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
9 make those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on
10 October 1.
11 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
12 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
13 with the permission of the Department.
14 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
15 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
16 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
17 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
18 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
19 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
20 requirements of this Section.
21 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
22 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells
23 and the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
24 property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
25 to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
26 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
27 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
28 to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
29 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other
30 Service Occupation Tax, Service Use Tax, Retailers'
31 Occupation Tax or Use Tax which such serviceman may be
32 required to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such
33 return, provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted
34 shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
-34- LRB9206045MWdv
1 serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
2 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall
3 be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
4 to the purchaser.
5 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
6 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
7 joint return which will enable servicemen, who are required
8 to file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
9 Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax
10 Act, to furnish all the return information required by all
11 said Acts on the one form.
12 Where the serviceman has more than one business
13 registered with the Department under separate registrations
14 hereunder, such serviceman shall file separate returns for
15 each registered business.
16 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
17 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund the revenue
18 realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of
19 food for human consumption which is to be consumed off the
20 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
21 soft drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate

23 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
24 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
25 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
26 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
27 of the revenue realized for the preceding month from the
28 6.25% general rate.

34 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the
-35- LRB9206045MWdv

2 general rate on transfers of tangible personal property.
3 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
4 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue
5 realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the
6 selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.

9 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
10 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
11 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
12 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,

20 called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
21 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
22 Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount
23 (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
24 Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
25 paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
26 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and further
27 provided, that if on the last business day of any month the
28 sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into

30 such month and (2) the amount transferred during such month
31 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax

4 payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause
5 (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater of (i) the
6 Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount for such
7 fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts payable
8 into the Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b) shall be
9 payable only until such time as the aggregate amount on
10 deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued and
11 outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is

17 Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of

31 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
32 Such annual return to the Department shall include a
33 statement of gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last
34 Federal income tax return. If the total receipts of the
-40- LRB9206045MWdv
1 business as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
2 agree with the gross receipts reported to the Department of
3 Revenue for the same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his
4 annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
5 amounts and the reasons for the difference. The taxpayer's
6 annual return to the Department shall also disclose the cost

15 as hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
16 If the annual information return required by this Section
17 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be
18 liable as follows:
19 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
20 liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
21 from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
22 covered by the annual return for each month or fraction
23 of a month until such return is filed as required, the
24 penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner
25 as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
26 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer
27 shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
28 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
29 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
30 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
31 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person
32 who willfully signs the annual return containing false or
33 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and
34 punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by
-41- LRB9206045MWdv
1 the Department shall include a warning that the person
2 signing the return may be liable for perjury.
3 The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the
4 filing of an annual information return shall not apply to a
5 serviceman who is not required to file an income tax return
6 with the United States Government.

10 transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
11 Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue
12 realized under this Act for the second preceding month.
13 Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
14 and shall not be made.
15 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
16 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
17 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
18 overpayment of liability.
19 For greater simplicity of administration, it shall be
20 permissible for manufacturers, importers and wholesalers
21 whose products are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois,
22 and who wish to do so, to assume the responsibility for
23 accounting and paying to the Department all tax accruing
24 under this Act with respect to such sales, if the servicemen
25 who are affected do not make written objection to the
26 Department to this arrangement.

5 than 50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents
6 or more.
7 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
8 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
9 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
10 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
11 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
12 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
13 by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
14 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
15 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
16 Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October
17 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of
18 $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of
19 the Department by electronic funds transfer. The term
20 "annual tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's
21 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
22 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
23 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year. The
24 term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of the
25 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
26 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by
27 the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
28 divided by 12.
29 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
30 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
31 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers
32 required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
33 make those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on
34 October 1.
-45- LRB9206045MWdv
1 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
2 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
3 with the permission of the Department.
4 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
5 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
6 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
7 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
8 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
9 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
10 requirements of this Section.
11 Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on
12 any return or other document under this Act shall, if such
13 amount is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the
14 nearest whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional
15 part of a dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the
16 nearest whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a
17 dollar is less than 50 cents.
18 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
19 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
20 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
21 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
22 with the return for January, February and March of a given
23 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
24 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
25 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
26 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
27 the return for October, November and December of a given year
28 being due by January 20 of the following year.
29 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
30 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
31 liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
32 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
33 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
34 20 of the following year.
-46- LRB9206045MWdv
1 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
2 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
3 monthly returns.
4 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
5 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
6 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
7 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
8 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
9 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
10 month after discontinuing such business.
11 Where the same person has more than one business
12 registered with the Department under separate registrations
13 under this Act, such person may not file each return that is
14 due as a single return covering all such registered
15 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
16 registered business.
17 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
18 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
19 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
20 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
21 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
22 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
23 personal property which the retailer sells, except that if,
24 in the same transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft,
25 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
26 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
27 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer
28 retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of
29 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
30 more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
31 to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
32 provided in Section 2-5 of this Act, then that seller may
33 report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor
34 vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
-47- LRB9206045MWdv
1 Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
2 return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft"
3 means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in
4 Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a
5 personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard
6 motor.
7 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
8 aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
9 an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation
10 tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
11 such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
12 required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
13 monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
14 be required to file returns on an annual basis.
15 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
16 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
17 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
18 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois
19 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
20 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
21 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
22 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
23 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
24 if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
25 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
26 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
27 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
28 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
29 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
30 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
31 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
32 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
33 the property sold; such other information as is required in
34 Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
-48- LRB9206045MWdv
1 information as the Department may reasonably require.
2 The transaction reporting return in the case of
3 watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of the
4 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
5 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
6 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
7 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
8 if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
9 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
10 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
11 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
12 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
13 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
14 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
15 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
16 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of
17 the property sold, and such other information as the
18 Department may reasonably require.
19 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
20 later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
21 is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time
22 sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction
23 reporting return and tax remittance or proof of exemption
24 from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the
25 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
26 officer with whom the tangible personal property must be
27 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
28 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
29 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
30 applications for title or registration.
31 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
32 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
33 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
34 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
-49- LRB9206045MWdv
1 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
2 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
3 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
4 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
5 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
6 personal property that is involved (if titling or
7 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
8 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
9 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
10 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
11 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
12 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
13 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
14 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
15 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
16 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
17 mandate of this paragraph.
18 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
19 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
20 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department
21 before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
22 user has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may
23 certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
24 (upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such
25 certification) transmit the information required by the
26 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
27 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
28 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
29 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
30 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
31 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
32 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
33 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
34 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
-50- LRB9206045MWdv
1 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
2 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
3 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
4 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal
5 property returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a
6 deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly
7 return, as the case may be, in case the seller had
8 theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
9 tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had
10 paid the tax imposed by this Act with respect to such
11 receipts.
12 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
13 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
14 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
15 accredited agent of such corporation.
16 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
17 return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
18 be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
19 of the limited liability company.
20 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
21 the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing
22 such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed
23 by this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990
24 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
25 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
26 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
27 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
28 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made
29 pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
30 amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In
31 the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
32 transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
33 Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
34 remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
-51- LRB9206045MWdv
1 return.
2 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
3 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
4 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
5 Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
6 remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
7 $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
8 quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
9 month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
10 during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
11 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
12 and last day of the month during which such liability is
13 incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
14 average monthly tax liability to the Department under this
15 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
16 Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid
17 sales tax to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of
18 this Act, was $20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
19 calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
20 each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
21 month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
22 make payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
23 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
24 incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is
25 incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
26 be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
27 liability for the month or an amount set by the Department
28 not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability of the
29 taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
30 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability
31 and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
32 If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
33 begins on or after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1,
34 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
-52- LRB9206045MWdv
1 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
2 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
3 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
4 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
5 January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
6 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
7 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
8 month of the preceding year. If the month during which such
9 tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
10 and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
11 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
12 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
13 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
14 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
15 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior to
16 January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
17 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
18 of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
19 the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
20 for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount of such
21 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
22 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
23 Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
24 the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
25 taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
26 or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
27 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
28 the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
29 quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
30 month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
31 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
32 computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding
33 complete calendar quarter period is less than $10,000.
34 However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
-53- LRB9206045MWdv
1 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
2 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
3 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
4 will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
5 taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
6 taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000,
7 once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
8 monthly payments to the Department by taxpayers having an
9 average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or more as
10 determined in the manner provided above shall continue until
11 such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department
12 during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding
13 the month of highest liability and the month of lowest
14 liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
15 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
16 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
17 quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer
18 can show the Department that a substantial change in the
19 taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to
20 anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
21 reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
22 threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
23 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
24 The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
25 unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and
26 not likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly
27 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
28 this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
29 and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
30 as a payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
31 actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has
32 previously made payments for that month to the Department in
33 excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in
34 this Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
-54- LRB9206045MWdv
1 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
2 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
3 than a calendar monthly basis.
4 Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
5 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
6 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
7 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average
8 in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2
9 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the
10 Department as required by Section 2f and shall make payments
11 to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
12 day of the month during which such liability is incurred. If
13 the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
14 prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
15 each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
16 taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
17 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
18 after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount
19 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
20 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
21 calendar month of the preceding calendar year. If the month
22 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
23 after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
24 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
25 month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
26 calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of such
27 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
28 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
29 under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
30 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
31 payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
32 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
33 collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
34 is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly payment is
-55- LRB9206045MWdv
1 not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
2 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
3 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
4 made payments for that month in excess of the minimum
5 payments previously due.
6 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
7 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
8 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
9 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
10 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
11 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment.
12 The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be
13 assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this
14 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
15 Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
16 regulations to be prescribed by the Department. If no such
17 request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
18 against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the
19 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
20 Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance
21 with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by the
22 Department. If the Department subsequently determined that
23 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
24 the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
25 shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between
26 the credit taken and that actually due, and that taxpayer
27 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
28 difference.
29 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
30 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
31 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
32 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
33 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
34 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
-56- LRB9206045MWdv
1 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund
2 in the State treasury which is hereby created, the net
3 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on
4 sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed
5 off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic
6 beverages, soft drinks and food which has been prepared for
7 immediate consumption) and prescription and nonprescription
8 medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
9 testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
10 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
11 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a
12 special fund in the State treasury which is hereby created,
13 4% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from
14 the 6.25% general rate.
15 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
16 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the
17 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
18 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
19 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
20 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
21 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
22 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
23 property.
24 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
25 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue
26 realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the
27 selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
28 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
29 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
30 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
31 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
32 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
33 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
34 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
-57- LRB9206045MWdv
1 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
2 to this Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the
3 Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation
4 Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called the "Tax Acts"
5 and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case may be, of
6 moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2)
7 the amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the
8 State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be less than the
9 Annual Specified Amount (as hereinafter defined), an amount
10 equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into the
11 Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the
12 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; the "Annual Specified
13 Amount" means the amounts specified below for fiscal years
14 1986 through 1993:
15 Fiscal Year Annual Specified Amount
16 1986 $54,800,000

22 1992 $182,730,000
23 1993 $206,520,000;
24 and means the Certified Annual Debt Service Requirement (as
25 defined in Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act) or the
26 Tax Act Amount, whichever is greater, for fiscal year 1994
27 and each fiscal year thereafter; and further provided, that
28 if on the last business day of any month the sum of (1) the
29 Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into the Build
30 Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such
31 month and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
32 Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall
33 have been less than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an
34 amount equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into

8 litigation.
9 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois

22 grants must be retained by the Department and used for grants
23 to school districts under Section 11-74.4-8d of the Illinois
24 Municipal Code.

28 and used only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as

31 The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
32 taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
33 Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
34 less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
-62- LRB9206045MWdv
1 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
2 Such annual return to the Department shall include a
3 statement of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last
4 Federal income tax return. If the total receipts of the
5 business as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
6 agree with the gross receipts reported to the Department of
7 Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach to his
8 annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
9 amounts and the reasons for the difference. The retailer's
10 annual return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
11 of goods sold by the retailer during the year covered by such
12 return, opening and closing inventories of such goods for
13 such year, costs of goods used from stock or taken from stock
14 and given away by the retailer during such year, payroll
15 information of the retailer's business during such year and
16 any additional reasonable information which the Department
17 deems would be helpful in determining the accuracy of the
18 monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by such retailer
19 as provided for in this Section.
20 If the annual information return required by this Section
21 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be
22 liable as follows:
23 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
24 liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
25 from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
26 covered by the annual return for each month or fraction
27 of a month until such return is filed as required, the
28 penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner
29 as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
30 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer
31 shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
32 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
33 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
34 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
-63- LRB9206045MWdv
1 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person
2 who willfully signs the annual return containing false or
3 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and
4 punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by
5 the Department shall include a warning that the person
6 signing the return may be liable for perjury.
7 The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of
8 an annual information return do not apply to a retailer who
9 is not required to file an income tax return with the United
10 States Government.
11 As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
12 upon certification of the Department of Revenue, the
13 Comptroller shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall
14 transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
15 Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue
16 realized under this Act for the second preceding month.
17 Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
18 and shall not be made.
19 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
20 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
21 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
22 overpayment of liability.
23 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
24 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
25 in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
26 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
27 Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to
28 such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make
29 written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
30 Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail
31 selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers
32 at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
33 local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions
34 or events, including any transient merchant as defined by
-64- LRB9206045MWdv
1 Section 2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required
2 to file a report with the Department providing the name of
3 the merchant's business, the name of the person or persons
4 engaged in merchant's business, the permanent address and
5 Illinois Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the
6 merchant, the dates and location of the event and other
7 reasonable information that the Department may require. The
8 report must be filed not later than the 20th day of the month
9 next following the month during which the event with retail
10 sales was held. Any person who fails to file a report
11 required by this Section commits a business offense and is
12 subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
13 Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible
14 personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
15 of seller at the Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art
16 shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
17 transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
18 Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
19 of the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a
20 daily payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department
21 shall impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
22 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
23 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on
24 evidence that a substantial number of concessionaires or
25 other sellers who are not residents of Illinois will be
26 engaging in the business of selling tangible personal
27 property at retail at the exhibition or event, or other
28 evidence of a significant risk of loss of revenue to the
29 State. The Department shall notify concessionaires and other
30 sellers affected by the imposition of this requirement. In
31 the absence of notification by the Department, the
32 concessionaires and other sellers shall file their returns as
33 otherwise required in this Section.
