AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 3685

2    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 3685 by replacing
3everything after the enacting clause with the following:
 
4    "Section 5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section
59 as follows:
 
6    (35 ILCS 105/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
7    Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
8and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
9of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
10the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
11amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
12when he is required to file his return for the period during
13which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
14January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
15per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
16reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 2 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
2the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. The
3discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25%
4portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the
5revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
647133. In the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
7transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this Section,
8such discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance
9instead of when such retailer files his periodic return. The
10discount allowed under this Section is allowed only for
11returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act. The
12Department may disallow the discount for retailers whose
13certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return
14is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the
15certificate of registration has become final. A retailer need
16not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
17that he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by
18the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of
19the same property.
20    Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
21conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
22wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
23extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
24filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
25vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
26to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 3 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
2the selling price actually received during such tax return
3period.
4    Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
5twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
6a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall
7be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall
8furnish such information as the Department may reasonably
9require. On and after January 1, 2018, except for returns
10required to be filed prior to January 1, 2023 for motor
11vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
12to be registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
13retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,
14all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
15filed electronically. On and after January 1, 2023, with
16respect to retailers whose annual gross receipts average
17$20,000 or more, all returns required to be filed pursuant to
18this Act, including, but not limited to, returns for motor
19vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
20to be registered with an agency of this State, shall be filed
21electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do not
22have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing
23electronically may petition the Department to waive the
24electronic filing requirement.
25    The Department may require returns to be filed on a
26quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 4 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
2calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
3taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
4of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
5the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
6        1. The name of the seller;
7        2. The address of the principal place of business from
8    which he engages in the business of selling tangible
9    personal property at retail in this State;
10        3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
11    him during the preceding calendar month from sales of
12    tangible personal property by him during such preceding
13    calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
14    sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
15        4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
16    Act;
17        5. The amount of tax due;
18        5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
19        6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
20    may require.
21    Each retailer required or authorized to collect the tax
22imposed by this Act on aviation fuel sold at retail in this
23State during the preceding calendar month shall, instead of
24reporting and paying tax on aviation fuel as otherwise
25required by this Section, report and pay such tax on a separate
26aviation fuel tax return. The requirements related to the

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 5 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1return shall be as otherwise provided in this Section.

3contrary, retailers collecting tax on aviation fuel shall file
4all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all aviation fuel
5tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form
6required by the Department. For purposes of this Section,
7"aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation gasoline.
8    If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
9the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
10the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
11due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
12    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
13contrary, retailers subject to tax on cannabis shall file all
14cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments
15by electronic means in the manner and form required by the
16Department.
17    Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
18monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
19payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
20funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
21an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
22make all payments required by rules of the Department by

2more shall make all payments required by rules of the
3Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "annual tax
4liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
5under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
6and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
7immediately preceding calendar year. The term "average monthly
8tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
9under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
10and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
11immediately preceding calendar year divided by 12. Beginning
12on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax liability in the
13amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the
14Department of Revenue Law shall make all payments required by

16    Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
17Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
18payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
19to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
20payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
21    Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
22funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
23with the permission of the Department.
24    All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
25transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
26payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those

1payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
2    The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
3effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the

9complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
10Department each month by the 20th day of the month next
11following the month during which such tax liability is
12incurred and shall make payments to the Department on or
13before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
14which such liability is incurred. On and after October 1,
152000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
16Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
17the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was
18$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
19quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
20month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
21during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
22payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
23last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
24If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
25prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
26equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 8 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
2average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
3for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
4month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
5in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
6liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and
7prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
8equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
9month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
10calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
11which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
12January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
13shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
14liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
15for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
16during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
17January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
18after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
19to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
2025% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
21the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
22liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
23prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
24equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
25month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
26month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 9 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
2of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
3final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
4Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
5the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
6continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
7the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
8quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
9month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
10taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
11computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
12calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
13taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
14the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
15to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
16reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
17threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
18Department for change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
19and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
20the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
21continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
22the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
23quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
24month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
25taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
26computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 10 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
2taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
3the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
4to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
5reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
6threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
7Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
8The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
9unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
10likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is
11not paid at the time or in the amount required by this Section,
12then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
13on the difference between the minimum amount due and the
14amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
15paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
16payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
17minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
18The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
19govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
20payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
21monthly basis.
22    If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
23the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
24Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
25Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
26the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 11 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
2memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
3in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
4taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
5similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
6Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
7in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
8prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
9payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
10after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
11unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
12the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
13liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
14Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
15the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
16accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
17the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
18all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
19taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
20be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
21credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
22liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
23    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
24return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
25the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
26authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 12 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1with the return for January, February, and March of a given
2year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
3April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
4such year; with the return for July, August and September of a
5given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
6return for October, November and December of a given year
7being due by January 20 of the following year.
8    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
9quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
10liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
11Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
12basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
13of the following year.
14    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
15substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
16monthly returns.
17    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
18the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
19case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
20which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
21such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
22Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
23business.
24    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
25aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
26an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 13 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
2property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
3prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
4for each such item of tangible personal property which the
5retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
6retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
7transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
8trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
9trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
10of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
11more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
12to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
13provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
14report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
15vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
16Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
17return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means
18a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
193-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
20watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
21    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
22aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
23an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
24business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
25connection with such business, sells any such item to a
26retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 14 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
2meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
3the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
4or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
5Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
6return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
7month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
8other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
9under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
10manner and form as required by the Department.
11    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
12vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
13an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
14Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
15Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
16the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
17selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
18traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
19for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
20extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
21the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
22deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
23price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
24such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
25purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
26evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 15 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
2sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
3other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
4Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
5Department may reasonably require.
6    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
7and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
8name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
9price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
10traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
11for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
12extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
13the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
14deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
15price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
16such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
17purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
18evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
19if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
20sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
21such other information as the Department may reasonably
22require.
23    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
24than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
25being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
26than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 16 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
2that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
3Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
4officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
5titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
6if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
7that this procedure will expedite the processing of
8applications for title or registration.
9    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
10shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
11satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
12the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
13Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
14(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
15that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
16may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
17whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
18that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
19support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
20certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
21tangible personal property.
22    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
23Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
24retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
25evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
26is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 17 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
2Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
3mandate of this paragraph.
4    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
5wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
6of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
7retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
8paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
9of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
10being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
11the information required by the transaction reporting return
12and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
13the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
14determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
15and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
16credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
17with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
18provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
19the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
20same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
21if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
22    Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
23selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
24the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
25property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
26the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 18 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
2filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
3to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax

23which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
24such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the

26business.

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 44 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1    Where the same person has more than one business
2registered with the Department under separate registrations
3under this Act, such person may not file each return that is
4due as a single return covering all such registered
5businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
6registered business.
7    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
8aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
9an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
10Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
11property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
12prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
13for each such item of tangible personal property which the
14retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
15retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
16transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
17trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
18retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii)
19a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
20trailers transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor
21vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as a qualifying
22rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this Act, then that
23seller may report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft,
24motor vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
25Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
26return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means

3watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
4    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
5aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
6an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
7business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
8connection with such business, sells any such item to a
9retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
10other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
11meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
12the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
13or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
14Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
15return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
16month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
17other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
18under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
19manner and form as required by the Department.
20    Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
21aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
22an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
23liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
24transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
25required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
26monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 46 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1be required to file returns on an annual basis.
2    The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
3vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
4an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
5Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
6Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
7the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
8selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
9traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
10for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
11extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
12the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
13deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
14price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
15such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
16purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
17evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
18if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
19sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
20other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
21Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
22Department may reasonably require.
23    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
24or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
25name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
26price including the amount allowed by the retailer for

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 47 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
2for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
3extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
4the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
5deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
6price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
7such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
8purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
9evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
10if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
11sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
12such other information as the Department may reasonably
13require.
14    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
15than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
16being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
17than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
18return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
19Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
20the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
21tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
22titling or registration is required) if the Department and
23such agency or State officer determine that this procedure
24will expedite the processing of applications for title or
25registration.
26    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 48 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
2satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
3the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
4Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
5receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
6satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
7purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
8officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
9personal property that is involved (if titling or registration
10is required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
11Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
12registration to such tangible personal property.
13    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
14Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
15retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
16evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
17is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
18paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
19Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
20mandate of this paragraph.
21    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
22wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
23of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
24the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has
25not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the
26fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 49 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
2the information required by the transaction reporting return
3and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
4the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
5determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
6and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
7credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
8with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
9provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
10the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
11same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
12if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
13    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
14period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
15returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
16subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
17may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
18receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
19return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
20with respect to such receipts.
21    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
22behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
23vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
24accredited agent of such corporation.
25    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
26return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 50 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
2of the limited liability company.
3    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
4the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
5return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
6Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
7on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
8whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
9retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
10preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
11data to the Department on request. On and after January 1,
122021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling
13the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return
14under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the
15time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
16imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer
17using a certified service provider to file a return on its
18behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for
19Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount. The
20discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25%
21portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the
22revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
2347133. Any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2d of this Act
24shall be included in the amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75%
25discount is computed. In the case of retailers who report and
26pay the tax on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 51 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1in this Section, such discount shall be taken with each such
2tax remittance instead of when such retailer files his
3periodic return. The discount allowed under this Section is
4allowed only for returns that are filed in the manner required
5by this Act. The Department may disallow the discount for
6retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at the
7time the return is filed, but only if the Department's
8decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become

6If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
7prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
8equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
9or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
10average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
11for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
12month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
13in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax

9liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
10of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
11final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
12Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
13the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
14taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
15or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
16continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
17the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
18quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
19month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
20taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
21computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
22calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
23taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
24the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
25to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
26reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 54 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
2Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
3On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement
4of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
5taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000
6or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
7continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to

11taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
12computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete

14taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
15the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
16to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
17reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
18threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
19Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
20The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
21unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
22likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is
23not paid at the time or in the amount required by this Section,
24then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
25on the difference between the minimum amount due as a payment
26and the amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 55 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

2made payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
3minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
4The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
5govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
6payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
7monthly basis.
8    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
92001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
10quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
11is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
12prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
13excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
14calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
15required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
16Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
17month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
18during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
19September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
20each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
21taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
22during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
23January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
2422.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
2527.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
26of the preceding calendar year. If the month during which such

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 56 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987,
2each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
3taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the
4taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
5preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
6shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
7taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
8Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
9requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
10Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
11such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
12the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less.
13If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
14in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
15penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as
16the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
17excess of the minimum payments previously due.
18    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
19October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
20required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
21any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
22collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
23taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the
24preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
25with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
26payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 57 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1last day of the month during which the liability is incurred.
2Each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
3taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
4taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
5preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
6shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
7taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
8Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
9requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
10Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
11taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
12preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
13highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
14than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
15liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
16quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
17than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
18at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
19liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
20insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
21month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
22    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
23taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
24Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
25shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
26requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit

 

 

10200SB3685ham001- 58 -LRB102 21412 HLH 37946 a

1memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
2credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
3the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
4Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
5in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
6prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
7taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
8subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
9the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
10Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
11regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
12subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
13taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
142.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or
151.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
16actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
17and interest on such difference.
18    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
19Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
20to the Department under this Act for the month for which the
21taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
22taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
