10received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
11that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
12including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
13charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
14Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
15from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
16at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
17motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
18on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
19the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
20tax imposed by this Act or to pay the tax imposed by the
21Retailers' Occupation Tax Act on those amounts. However, the
22lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the liability
23for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts directly to
24the Department in the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation
25Tax, and local retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in
26which the retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the

1retailer had accounted for the tax to the Department. For
2amounts received by the lessor from the lessee that are not
3calculated at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must
4file the return and pay the tax to the Department by the due
5date otherwise required by this Act for returns other than
6transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled under this Act
7to a discount for collecting and remitting the tax imposed
8under this Act to the Department with respect to the sale of
9the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to the discount
10provided in this Act shall be transferred to the lessor with
11respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any amount received
12by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is
13not calculated at the time the lease is executed; provided that
14the discount is only allowed if the return is timely filed and
15for amounts timely paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle
16that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 July 1, 2014 for the
17purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one year
18shall not be reduced by the value of or credit given for
19traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessor, nor
20shall it be reduced by the value of or credit given for
21traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessee,
22regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is assigned by
23the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor vehicle that
24is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined period of
25longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of the
26delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any

 

 

HB5684 Engrossed- 8 -LRB098 16363 HLH 51426 b

1lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation Tax
2liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease may
3not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax the
4lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for any
5tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by the
6lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
7calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
8price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
9calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
10in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
11Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
12all payments required under this paragraph to the Department by
13electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
14Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
15vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
16term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
17with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
18lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
19defined period.
20    The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
21construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
22vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
23agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
24agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
25which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from

10    A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
11(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal

13sales (and not primarily in a service occupation)
14notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
15such tangible personal property on special order for the
16purchaser and in such a way as to render the property of value
17only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal property so
18produced on special order serves substantially the same
19function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
20property that are sold at retail.

22primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
23engages in selling tangible personal property at retail

4the purposes of such person, or (2), to the extent of sales by
5such person of tangible personal property which is not sold or

4which is not subject to the tax imposed by the "Retailers'
5Occupation Tax Act" because of involving the sale of or a
6contract to sell real estate or a construction contract to
7improve real estate, but who, in the course of conducting such

9consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and
10which does not become real estate, under any provision of a
11construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
12agreement entered into with some other person arising out of or
13because of such nontaxable business, is a retailer to the
14extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
15transferred. If, in such transaction, a separate charge is made
16for the tangible personal property so transferred, the value of
17such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the amount so
18separately charged, but not less than the cost of such property
19to the transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of
20such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost to the
21transferor of such tangible personal property.

8    Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, for any motor
9vehicle, as defined in Section 1-146 of the Vehicle Code, that
10is sold on or after January 1, 2015 July 1, 2014 for the
11purpose of leasing the vehicle for a defined period that is
12longer than one year and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second
13division that: (A) is a self-contained motor vehicle designed
14or permanently converted to provide living quarters for
15recreational, camping, or travel use, with direct walk through
16access to the living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of
17the van configuration designed for the transportation of not
18less than 7 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross
19vehicle weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor
20vehicle of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of
21sale" means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant
22to the lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing
23and all monthly or other regular payments charged over the term
24of the lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
25received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
26that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,

 

 

HB5684 Engrossed- 21 -LRB098 16363 HLH 51426 b

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

 

 

HB5684 Engrossed- 22 -LRB098 16363 HLH 51426 b

1lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the
2time the lease is executed; provided that the discount is only
3allowed if the return is timely filed and for amounts timely
4paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or
5after January 1, 2015 July 1, 2014 for the purpose of leasing
6for a defined period of longer than one year shall not be
7reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in tangible
8personal property owned by the lessor, nor shall it be reduced
9by the value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal
10property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether the
11trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the lessor.
12In the case of a motor vehicle that is sold for the purpose of
13leasing for a defined period of longer than one year, the sale
14occurs at the time of the delivery of the vehicle, regardless
15of the due date of any lease payments. A lessor who incurs a
16Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the sale of a motor
17vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit against that
18liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the purchase of
19the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid with respect
20to any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the
21leased vehicle that was not calculated at the time the lease
22was executed) if the selling price of the motor vehicle at the
23time of purchase was calculated using the definition of
24"selling price" as defined in this paragraph. Notwithstanding
25any other provision of this Act to the contrary, lessors shall
26file all returns and make all payments required under this

 

 

HB5684 Engrossed- 23 -LRB098 16363 HLH 51426 b

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

2private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
3executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed
4by order of any court.
5    The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
6property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
7being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
8such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
9bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
10business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
11within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is
12engaged in a business which is not subject to the tax imposed
13by this Act because of involving the sale of or a contract to
14sell real estate or a construction contract to improve real
15estate or a construction contract to engineer, install, and
16maintain an integrated system of products, but who, in the
17course of conducting such business, transfers tangible
18personal property to users or consumers in the finished form in
19which it was purchased, and which does not become real estate
20or was not engineered and installed, under any provision of a
21construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
22agreement entered into with some other person arising out of or
23because of such nontaxable business, is engaged in the business
24of selling tangible personal property at retail to the extent
25of the value of the tangible personal property so transferred.
26If, in such a transaction, a separate charge is made for the

 

 

HB5684 Engrossed- 25 -LRB098 16363 HLH 51426 b

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

5    "Bulk vending machine" means a vending machine, containing
6unsorted confections, nuts, toys, or other items designed
