2is sold on or after January 1, 2015 July 1, 2014 for the
3purpose of leasing the vehicle for a defined period that is
4longer than one year and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second
5division that: (A) is a self-contained motor vehicle designed
6or permanently converted to provide living quarters for
7recreational, camping, or travel use, with direct walk through
8access to the living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of
9the van configuration designed for the transportation of not
10less than 7 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross
11vehicle weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor
12vehicle of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of
13sale" means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant
14to the lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing
15and all monthly or other regular payments charged over the term
16of the lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
17received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
18that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
19including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
20charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
21Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
22from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
23at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
24motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
25on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
26the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the

 

 

09800HB5684ham002- 7 -LRB098 16363 HLH 57851 a

1tax imposed by this Act or to pay the tax imposed by the
2Retailers' Occupation Tax Act on those amounts. However, the
3lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the liability
4for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts directly to
5the Department in the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation
6Tax, and local retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in
7which the retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the
8retailer had accounted for the tax to the Department. For
9amounts received by the lessor from the lessee that are not
10calculated at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must
11file the return and pay the tax to the Department by the due
12date otherwise required by this Act for returns other than
13transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled under this Act
14to a discount for collecting and remitting the tax imposed
15under this Act to the Department with respect to the sale of
16the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to the discount
17provided in this Act shall be transferred to the lessor with
18respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any amount received
19by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is
20not calculated at the time the lease is executed; provided that
21the discount is only allowed if the return is timely filed and
22for amounts timely paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle
23that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 July 1, 2014 for the
24purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one year
25shall not be reduced by the value of or credit given for
26traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessor, nor

 

 

09800HB5684ham002- 8 -LRB098 16363 HLH 57851 a

1shall it be reduced by the value of or credit given for
2traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessee,
3regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is assigned by
4the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor vehicle that
5is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined period of
6longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of the
7delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any
8lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation Tax
9liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease may
10not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax the
11lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for any
12tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by the
13lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
14calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
15price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
16calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
17in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
18Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
19all payments required under this paragraph to the Department by
20electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
21Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
22vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
23term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
24with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
25lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
26defined period.

15    "Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the
16business of making sales at retail as defined in this Section.
17    A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
18(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
19property at retail is a retailer hereunder with respect to such
20sales (and not primarily in a service occupation)
21notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
22such tangible personal property on special order for the
23purchaser and in such a way as to render the property of value
24only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal property so
25produced on special order serves substantially the same
26function as stock or standard items of tangible personal

3primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
4engages in selling tangible personal property at retail
5(whether to the public or merely to members and their guests)

7a person organized and operated exclusively for charitable,
8religious or educational purposes either (1), to the extent of
9sales by such person to its members, students, patients or
10inmates of tangible personal property to be used primarily for
11the purposes of such person, or (2), to the extent of sales by
12such person of tangible personal property which is not sold or
13offered for sale by persons organized for profit. The selling
14of school books and school supplies by schools at retail to
15students is not "primarily for the purposes of" the school
16which does such selling. This paragraph does not apply to nor

1retailer under this Act with respect to such transactions.
2    Persons who engage in the business of transferring tangible
3personal property upon the redemption of trading stamps are

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 make such person a retailer
10hereunder. However, any person who is engaged in a business
11which is not subject to the tax imposed by the "Retailers'
12Occupation Tax Act" because of involving the sale of or a
13contract to sell real estate or a construction contract to
14improve real estate, but who, in the course of conducting such
15business, transfers tangible personal property to users or
16consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and
17which does not become real estate, under any provision of a
18construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
19agreement entered into with some other person arising out of or
20because of such nontaxable business, is a retailer to the
21extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
22transferred. If, in such transaction, a separate charge is made
23for the tangible personal property so transferred, the value of
24such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the amount so
25separately charged, but not less than the cost of such property
26to the transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of

 

 

09800HB5684ham002- 12 -LRB098 16363 HLH 57851 a

1vehicle of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of
2sale" means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant
3to the lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing
4and all monthly or other regular payments charged over the term
5of the lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
6received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
7that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
8including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
9charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
10Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
11from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
12at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
13motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
14on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
15the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
16tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to pay the tax imposed by this
17Act on those amounts. However, the lessor who purchased the
18motor vehicle assumes the liability for reporting and paying
19the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in the same
20form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local retailers'
21occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the retailer would
22have reported and paid such tax if the retailer had accounted
23for the tax to the Department. For amounts received by the
24lessor from the lessee that are not calculated at the time the
25lease is executed, the lessor must file the return and pay the
26tax to the Department by the due date otherwise required by

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

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

 

 

09800HB5684ham002- 24 -LRB098 16363 HLH 57851 a

1and when payments are received by the seller. Receipts or other
2consideration derived by a seller from the sale, transfer or
3assignment of accounts receivable to a wholly owned subsidiary
4will not be deemed payments prior to the time the purchaser
5makes payment on such accounts.
6    "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
7    "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
8association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
9private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,

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

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

1for the purchaser and in such a way as to render the property
2of value only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal
3property so produced on special order serves substantially the
4same function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
5property that are sold at retail.
6    Persons who engage in the business of transferring tangible
7personal property upon the redemption of trading stamps are
8engaged in the business of selling such property at retail and
