 1    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the property is  leased
 2    in  a manner that does not qualify for this exemption or used
 3    in any other nonexempt manner, the lessor shall be liable for
 4    the tax imposed under this Act or the Service Use Tax Act, as
 5    the case may be, based  on  the  fair  market  value  of  the
 6    property at the time the nonqualifying use occurs.  No lessor
 7    shall  collect  or  attempt  to  collect  an  amount (however
 8    designated) that purports to reimburse that  lessor  for  the

28    or  attempt  to  collect  an amount (however designated) that
29    purports to reimburse that lessor for the tax imposed by this

32    any  such  amount  from  the  lessee, the lessee shall have a
33    legal right to claim a refund of that amount from the lessor.
34    If, however, that amount is not refunded to  the  lessee  for

 2    property is leased in a manner that does not qualify for this
 3    exemption or is used  in  any  other  nonexempt  manner,  the
 4    lessor  shall be liable for the tax imposed under this Act or
 5    the Use Tax Act, as the case may be, based on the fair market
 6    value of the property  at  the  time  the  nonqualifying  use
 7    occurs.   No  lessor  shall  collect or attempt to collect an
 8    amount (however designated) that purports to  reimburse  that
 9    lessor for the tax imposed by this Act or the Use Tax Act, as
10    the  case may be, if the tax has not been paid by the lessor.
11    If a lessor improperly collects  any  such  amount  from  the
