ARTICLE 15
8     Section 15-1. Short title. This Article may be cited as the
9 Watercraft Use Tax Law, and references in this Article to "this
10 Law" mean this Article.
11     Section 15-5. Definitions. For the purposes of this Law:
12     "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
13     "Purchase price" means the reasonable consideration paid
14 for a watercraft whether received in money or otherwise,
15 including, but not limited to, cash, credits, property, and
16 services, and including the value of any motor sold with, or in
17 conjunction with, the watercraft. Except in the case of
18 transfers between immediate family members, reasonable
19 consideration ordinarily means the fair market value on the
20 date the watercraft or the share of the watercraft was acquired
21 or the date the watercraft was brought into this State,
22 whichever is later, unless the taxpayer can demonstrate that a
23 different value is reasonable. In the case of transfers between
24 immediate family members, reasonable consideration ordinarily
25 means the consideration actually paid, unless it appears from
26 the facts and circumstances that the primary motivation of the
27 transfer was the avoidance of tax.
28     "Watercraft" means:
29         (1) Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4 watercraft, as
30     defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety
31     Act; or
32         (2) personal watercraft, as defined in Section 1-2 of
33     the Boat Registration and Safety Act.
1     Section 15-10. Tax imposed. A tax is hereby imposed on the
2 privilege of using, in this State, any watercraft acquired by
3 gift, transfer, or purchase after September 1, 2004. This tax
4 does not apply if: (i) the use of the watercraft is otherwise
5 taxed under the Use Tax Act; (ii) the watercraft is bought and
6 used by a governmental agency or a society, association,
7 foundation, or institution organized and operated exclusively
8 for charitable, religious, or educational purposes and that
9 entity has been issued an exemption identification number under
10 Section 1g of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act; (iii) the use
11 of the watercraft is not subject to the Use Tax Act by reason
12 of subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) of Section 3-55 of
13 that Act dealing with the prevention of actual or likely
14 multi-state taxation; (iv) the transfer is a gift to a
15 beneficiary in the administration of an estate and the
16 beneficiary is a surviving spouse; or (v) the watercraft is
17 exempted from the numbering provisions of Section 3-12 of the
18 Boat Registration and Safety Act. However, the exemption from
19 tax provided by item (v) shall not apply to a watercraft
20 exempted under paragraphs A, B, C, F, and G of Section 3-12 of
21 the Boat Registration and Safety Act if such watercraft are
22 used upon the waters of this State for more than 30 days in any
23 calendar year.
24     Section 15-15. Rate of tax.
25     The rate of tax is 6.25% of the purchase price for each
26 purchase of watercraft that is subject to tax under this Law.
27 When an ownership share of a watercraft is acquired, the tax is
28 imposed on the purchase price of that share. All owners are
29 jointly and severally liable for any tax due as a result of the
30 purchase, gift, or transfer of an ownership share of the
31 watercraft.
32     Section 15-20. Returns.
33     (a) The purchaser, transferee, or donee shall file with the

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 11 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 Department a return signed by the purchaser, transferee, or
2 donee on a form prescribed by the Department. The return shall
3 contain a verification in substantially the following form and
4 such other information as the Department may reasonably
5 require:
6
VERIFICATION
7     I declare that I have examined this return and, to the best
8     of my knowledge, it is true, correct, and complete. I
9     understand that the penalty for willfully filing a false
10     return is a fine not to exceed $1,000 or imprisonment in a
11     penal institution other than the penitentiary not to exceed
12     one year, or both a fine and imprisonment.
13     (b) The return and payment from the purchaser, transferee,
14 or donee shall be submitted to the Department within 30 days
15 after the date of purchase, donation, or other transfer or the
16 date the watercraft is brought into this State, whichever is
17 later. Payment of tax is a condition to securing certificate of
18 title for the watercraft from the Department of Natural
19 Resources. When a purchaser, transferee, or donee pays the tax
20 imposed by Section 5-10 of this Law, the Department (upon
21 request therefor from the purchaser, transferee, or donee)
22 shall issue an appropriate receipt to the purchaser,
23 transferee, or donee showing that he or she has paid the tax to
24 the Department. The receipt shall be sufficient to relieve the
25 purchaser, transferee, or donee from further liability for the
26 tax to which the receipt may refer.
27     Section 15-25. Filing false or incomplete return. Any
28 person required to file a return under this Law who willfully
29 files a false or incomplete return is guilty of a Class A
30 misdemeanor.
31     Section 15-30. Determining purchase price. For the purpose
32 of assisting in determining the validity of the purchase price
33 reported on returns filed with the Department, the Department
34 may furnish the following information to persons with whom the

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 12 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 Department has contracted for service related to making that
2 determination: (i) the purchase price stated on the return;
3 (ii) the watercraft identification number; (iii) the year, the
4 make, and the model name or number of the watercraft; (iv) the
5 purchase date; and (v) the hours of operation.
6     Section 15-35. Powers of Department. The Department has
7 full power to: (i) administer and enforce this Law; (ii)
8 collect all taxes, penalties, and interest due under this Law;
9 (iii) dispose of taxes, penalties, and interest so collected in
10 the manner set forth in this Law; and (iv) determine all rights
11 to credit memoranda or refunds arising on account of the
12 erroneous payment of tax, penalty, or interest under this Law.
13 In the administration of, and compliance with, this Law, the
14 Department and persons who are subject to this Law have the
15 same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and
16 duties, and are subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
17 limitations, penalties, and definitions of terms, and employ
18 the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in the Use Tax
19 Act (except for the provisions of Section 3-70), that are not
20 inconsistent with this Law, as fully as if the provisions of
21 the Use Tax Act were set forth in this Law. In addition to any
22 other penalties imposed under law, any person convicted of
23 violating the provisions of this Law shall be assessed a fine
24 of $1,000.
25     Section 15-40. Payments to State and Local Sales Tax Reform
26 Fund and General Revenue Fund. The Department shall each month,
27 upon collecting any taxes as provided in this Law, pay 20% of
28 the money collected into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform
29 Fund, a special fund in the State treasury, and 80% into the
30 General Revenue Fund.
31     Section 15-45. Rules. The Department has the authority to
32 adopt such rules as are reasonable and necessary to implement
33 the provisions of this Law.
1     Section 15-990. The Retailers' Occupation Tax Act is

9 for the purpose of resale, is a retailer engaged in the

9 Credit to purchase property which is later determined not to be
10 production related tangible personal property may be liable for
11 tax, penalty, and interest on the purchase of that property as
12 of the date of purchase but shall be entitled to use the
13 disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, so long as it has

16 previously subject to credit usage. The Manufacturer's
17 Purchase Credit earned by a manufacturer or graphic arts
18 producer expires the last day of the second calendar year
19 following the calendar year in which the credit arose. No

33 sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
34 forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
35 year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
36 reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may

2 not previously reported at any time before the credit would
3 have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have
4 agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
5 issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
6 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
7 assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
8 for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
9 to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
10 portion thereof has been extended. No Manufacturer's Purchase
11 Credit report filed with the Department for periods prior to
12 January 1, 1995 shall be approved. Manufacturer's Purchase
13 Credit claimed on an amended report may be used, until October
14 1, 2003, to satisfy tax liability under the Use Tax Act or the
15 Service Use Tax Act (i) on qualifying purchases of production
16 related tangible personal property made after the date the
17 amended report is filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on
18 qualifying purchases of production related tangible personal
19 property made in the case of manufacturers on or after January
20 1, 1995, or in the case of graphic arts producers on or after
21 July 1, 1996.
22     If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts
23 producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
24 manufacturer or graphic arts producer, the purchaser may earn,
25 report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the same
26 manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer.
27     A purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's
28 Purchase Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported
29 and is not timely reported as provided in this Section. A

31 use of a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of the date of
32 purchase, if that use is not timely reported as required in
33 this Section and (ii) for any applicable penalties and interest

2     (b) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and after
3 September 1, 2004. This subsection (b) applies to
4 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and after September 1,

6 September 1, 2004 may only be used to satisfy the Use Tax or
7 Service Use Tax liability incurred on production related
8 tangible personal property purchased on or after September 1,
9 2004. A purchaser of production related tangible personal
10 property desiring to use the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
11 shall certify to the seller that the purchaser is satisfying
12 all or part of the liability under the Use Tax Act or the
13 Service Use Tax Act that is due on the purchase of the
14 production related tangible personal property by use of
15 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. The Manufacturer's Purchase
16 Credit certification must be dated and shall include the name
17 and address of the purchaser, the purchaser's registration
18 number, if registered, the credit being applied, and a
19 statement that the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability
20 is being satisfied with the manufacturer's or graphic arts
21 producer's accumulated purchase credit. Certification may be
22 incorporated into the manufacturer's or graphic arts
23 producer's purchase order. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
24 certification provided by the manufacturer or graphic arts
25 producer may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's
26 liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service
27 Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
28 of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
29 only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
30 Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. The
31 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by purchase of exempt
32 manufacturing machinery and equipment or graphic arts
33 machinery and equipment is a non-transferable credit. A

6 purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a
7 written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a
8 specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall furnish
9 the supplier with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's
10 name, registration or resale number, and a statement that a
11 specific amount of the Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability,
12 not to exceed 6.25% of the selling price, is being satisfied
13 with the credit. The manufacturer or graphic arts producer
14 shall remain liable to timely report all information required
15 by the annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for
16 all credit utilized by a construction contractor.
17     The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy
18 liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due
19 on the purchase, made on or after September 1, 2004, of
20 production related tangible personal property (including
21 purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or by
22 a lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a

22 and equipment on or after September 1, 2004 for which the
23 exemption provided by paragraph (18) of Section 3-5 of this Act
24 was erroneously claimed, or the purchase of machinery and

29 purchaser of production related tangible personal property
30 that is purchased on or after September 1, 2004 who is required
31 to pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase

16 the non-qualifying use occurs. No lessor shall collect or
17 attempt to collect an amount (however designated) that purports
18 to reimburse that lessor for the tax imposed by this Act or the
19 Use Tax Act, as the case may be, if the tax has not been paid by
20 the lessor. If a lessor improperly collects any such amount
21 from the lessee, the lessee shall have a legal right to claim a
22 refund of that amount from the lessor. If, however, that amount
23 is not refunded to the lessee for any reason, the lessor is
24 liable to pay that amount to the Department.

30 Department under Section 1g of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
31 Act. If the property is leased in a manner that does not
32 qualify for this exemption or is used in any other non-exempt
33 manner, the lessor shall be liable for the tax imposed under
34 this Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case may be, based on the
35 fair market value of the property at the time the
36 non-qualifying use occurs. No lessor shall collect or attempt

3 purchases. For purchases of graphic arts machinery and

5 2003, and on and after September 1, 2004, a purchase of graphic
6 arts machinery and equipment that qualifies for the exemption
7 provided by paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this Act earns a
8 credit in an amount equal to a fixed percentage of the tax that
9 would have been incurred under this Act on those purchases. The
10 credit earned for the purchase of manufacturing machinery and
11 equipment and graphic arts machinery and equipment shall be
12 referred to as the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. A graphic
13 arts producer is a person engaged in graphic arts production as
14 defined in Section 3-30 of the Service Occupation Tax Act.
15 Beginning July 1, 1996, all references in this Section to
16 manufacturers or manufacturing shall also refer to graphic arts
17 producers or graphic arts production.
18     The amount of credit shall be a percentage of the tax that
19 would have been incurred on the purchase of the manufacturing
20 machinery and equipment or graphic arts machinery and equipment
21 if the exemptions provided by Section 2 or paragraph (5) of
22 Section 3-5 of this Act had not been applicable.
23     All purchases prior to October 1, 2003 of manufacturing
24 machinery and equipment and graphic arts machinery and
25 equipment that qualify for the exemptions provided by paragraph
26 (5) of Section 2 or paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this Act
27 qualify for the credit without regard to whether the serviceman
28 elected, or could have elected, under paragraph (7) of Section
29 2 of this Act to exclude the transaction from this Act. If the
30 serviceman's billing to the service customer separately states
31 a selling price for the exempt manufacturing machinery or
32 equipment or the exempt graphic arts machinery and equipment,
33 the credit shall be calculated, as otherwise provided herein,
34 based on that selling price. If the serviceman's billing does
35 not separately state a selling price for the exempt
36 manufacturing machinery and equipment or the exempt graphic

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 46 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 arts machinery and equipment, the credit shall be calculated,
2 as otherwise provided herein, based on 50% of the entire
3 billing. If the serviceman contracts to design, develop, and
4 produce special order manufacturing machinery and equipment or
5 special order graphic arts machinery and equipment, and the
6 billing does not separately state a selling price for such
7 special order machinery and equipment, the credit shall be
8 calculated, as otherwise provided herein, based on 50% of the
9 entire billing. The provisions of this paragraph are effective
10 for purchases made on or after January 1, 1995.
11     The percentage shall be as follows:
12         (1) 15% for purchases made on or before June 30, 1995.
13         (2) 25% for purchases made after June 30, 1995, and on

18     (a) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1,
19 2003. This subsection (a) applies to Manufacturer's Purchase
20 Credit earned prior to July 1, 2003. A purchaser of production
21 related tangible personal property desiring to use the
22 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall certify to the seller
23 prior to October 1, 2003 that the purchaser is satisfying all
24 or part of the liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service
25 Use Tax Act that is due on the purchase of the production
26 related tangible personal property by use of a Manufacturer's
27 Purchase Credit. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
28 certification must be dated and shall include the name and
29 address of the purchaser, the purchaser's registration number,
30 if registered, the credit being applied, and a statement that
31 the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability is being
32 satisfied with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's

2 liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service
3 Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
4 of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
5 only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
6 Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. A
7 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reported on any original or
8 amended return filed under this Act after October 20, 2003
9 shall be disallowed. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned
10 by purchase of exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment or
11 graphic arts machinery and equipment is a non-transferable
12 credit. A manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters
13 into a contract involving the installation of tangible personal
14 property into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic
15 arts production facility, prior to October 1, 2003, may
16 authorize a construction contractor to utilize credit
17 accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer to
18 purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or
19 graphic arts producer intending to use accumulated credit to
20 purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a
21 written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a
22 specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall
23 furnish, prior to October 1, 2003, the supplier with the
24 manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's name, registration
25 or resale number, and a statement that a specific amount of the
26 Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability, not to exceed 6.25% of
27 the selling price, is being satisfied with the credit. The
28 manufacturer or graphic arts producer shall remain liable to

30 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for credit utilized by a
31 construction contractor.
32     No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1,
33 2003 may be used after October 1, 2003. The Manufacturer's
34 Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy liability under the Use
35 Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due on the purchase of

2 lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
3 manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
4 qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
5 exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
6 exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
7 means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
8 the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
9 manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
10 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible
11 personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
12 within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
13 to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
14 such as pre-production material handling, receiving, quality
15 control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging
16 for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
17 personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a
18 graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as
19 described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act

26 inventory control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling,
27 mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible
28 personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for

2 satisfy the tax arising either from the purchase of machinery
3 and equipment on or after January 1, 1995 for which the
4 manufacturing machinery and equipment exemption provided by
5 Section 2 of this Act was erroneously claimed, or the purchase
6 of machinery and equipment on or after July 1, 1996 for which
7 the exemption provided by paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this
8 Act was erroneously claimed, but not in satisfaction of
9 penalty, if any, and interest for failure to pay the tax when
10 due. A purchaser of production related tangible personal
11 property who is required to pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use
12 Tax on the purchase directly to the Department may, prior to
13 October 1, 2003, utilize the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in
14 satisfaction of the tax arising from that purchase, but not in
15 satisfaction of penalty and interest. A purchaser who uses the
16 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to purchase property which is
17 later determined not to be production related tangible personal
18 property may be liable for tax, penalty, and interest on the
19 purchase of that property as of the date of purchase but shall
20 be entitled to use the disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase
21 Credit, so long as it has not expired and is used prior to
22 October 1, 2003, on qualifying purchases of production related
23 tangible personal property not previously subject to credit
24 usage. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by a
25 manufacturer or graphic arts producer expires the last day of
26 the second calendar year following the calendar year in which
27 the credit arose. No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used
28 after September 30, 2003 regardless of when that credit was
29 earned.
30     A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
31 sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
32 Credit Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day
33 of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a

10 manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment on which
11 the purchaser earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the
12 vendor (including, if applicable, either the vendor's
13 registration number or Federal Employer Identification

23 each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase price
24 of production related tangible personal property purchased

32 personal property on which the purchaser used Manufacturer's
33 Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable, either
34 the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer

5 sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
6 forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
7 year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
8 reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
9 be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
10 not previously reported at any time before the credit would
11 have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have
12 agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
13 issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
14 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
15 assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
16 for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
17 to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
18 portion thereof has been extended. No Manufacturer's Purchase
19 Credit report filed with the Department for periods prior to
20 January 1, 1995 shall be approved. Manufacturer's Purchase
21 Credit claimed on an amended report may be used, prior to
22 October 1, 2003, to satisfy tax liability under the Use Tax Act
23 or the Service Use Tax Act (i) on qualifying purchases of
24 production related tangible personal property made after the
25 date the amended report is filed or (ii) assessed by the

30     If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts
31 producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
32 manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, the purchaser may
33 earn, report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the
34 same manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer.

1 only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
2 Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. The
3 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by purchase of exempt
4 manufacturing machinery and equipment or graphic arts
5 machinery and equipment is a non-transferable credit. A
6 manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters into a
7 contract involving the installation of tangible personal
8 property into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic
9 arts production facility may, on or after September 1, 2004,
10 authorize a construction contractor to utilize credit
11 accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer to
12 purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or
13 graphic arts producer intending to use accumulated credit to
14 purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a
15 written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a
16 specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall furnish
17 the supplier with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's
18 name, registration or resale number, and a statement that a
19 specific amount of the Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability,
20 not to exceed 6.25% of the selling price, is being satisfied
21 with the credit. The manufacturer or graphic arts producer
22 shall remain liable to timely report all information required
23 by the annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for
24 credit utilized by a construction contractor.
25     The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy
26 liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due
27 on the purchase, made on or after September 1, 2004, of
28 production related tangible personal property (including
29 purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or a
30 lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
31 manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
32 qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
33 exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
34 exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
35 means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
36 the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a

1 manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
2 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible
3 personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
4 within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
5 to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
6 such as pre-production material handling, receiving, quality
7 control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging
8 for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
9 personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a
10 graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as
11 described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
12 takes place, including tangible personal property purchased
13 for incorporation into real estate within a graphic arts
14 facility and including, but not limited to, all tangible

18 inventory control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling,
19 mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible
20 personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for
21 research and development. "Production related tangible
22 personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
23 property used, within or without a manufacturing or graphic
24 arts facility, in sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal
25 management, marketing, personnel recruitment or selection, or
26 landscaping or (ii) tangible personal property required to be
27 titled or registered with a department, agency, or unit of
28 federal, state, or local government. The Manufacturer's
29 Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy the tax arising either
30 from the purchase of machinery and equipment on or after
31 September 1, 2004 for which the manufacturing machinery and
32 equipment exemption provided by Section 2 of this Act was
33 erroneously claimed, or the purchase of machinery and equipment
34 on or after September 1, 2004 for which the exemption provided
35 by paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this Act was erroneously
36 claimed, but not in satisfaction of penalty, if any, and

1 interest for failure to pay the tax when due. A purchaser of
2 production related tangible personal property that is
3 purchased on or after September 1, 2004 who is required to pay
4 Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase directly to
5 the Department may utilize the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
6 in satisfaction of the tax arising from that purchase, but not
7 in satisfaction of penalty and interest. A purchaser who uses
8 the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to purchase property on and
9 after September 1, 2004 which is later determined not to be
10 production related tangible personal property may be liable for
11 tax, penalty, and interest on the purchase of that property as
12 of the date of purchase but shall be entitled to use the
13 disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, so long as it has
14 not expired, on qualifying purchases of production related
15 tangible personal property not previously subject to credit
16 usage. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by a
17 manufacturer or graphic arts producer expires the last day of
18 the second calendar year following the calendar year in which
19 the credit arose.
20     A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
21 sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
22 Credit Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day
23 of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
24 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of
25 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms
26 as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
27 for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
28 price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
29 machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
30 Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
31 items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
32 credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
33 other information as the Department may reasonably require. A
34 purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
35 maintain records which identify, as to each purchase of
36 manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment on which

1 the purchaser earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the
2 vendor (including, if applicable, either the vendor's
3 registration number or Federal Employer Identification
4 Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's
5 Purchase Credit earned on each purchase.
6     A purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
7 sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
8 Credit Used for each calendar year no later than the last day
9 of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
10 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is used. A Report of
11 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used shall be filed on forms as
12 prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state, for
13 each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase price
14 of production related tangible personal property purchased
15 from Illinois suppliers; (ii) the total purchase price of
16 production related tangible personal property purchased from
17 out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the total amount of credit used
18 during such month; and (iv) such other information as the
19 Department may reasonably require. A purchaser using
20 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain records that
21 identify, as to each purchase of production related tangible
22 personal property on which the purchaser used Manufacturer's
23 Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable, either
24 the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer
25 Identification Number), the purchase price, and the amount of
26 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
27     A purchaser that fails to file an annual Report of
28 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
29 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
30 sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
31 forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
32 year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
33 reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
34 be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
35 not previously reported at any time before the credit would
36 have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 57 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
2 issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
4 assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
5 for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
6 to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
7 portion thereof has been extended. Manufacturer's Purchase
8 Credit claimed on an amended report may be used to satisfy tax
9 liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act (i)
10 on qualifying purchases of production related tangible
11 personal property made after the date the amended report is
12 filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on qualifying
13 production related tangible personal property purchased on or
14 after September 1, 2004.
15     If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts
16 producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
17 manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, the purchaser may
18 earn, report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the
19 same manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer. A
20 purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's Purchase
21 Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported and is
22 not timely reported as provided in this Section. A purchaser
23 remains liable for (i) any tax that was satisfied by use of a
24 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of the date of purchase, if
25 that use is not timely reported as required in this Section and
26 (ii) for any applicable penalties and interest for failing to
27 pay the tax when due.

10 the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual
11 Specified Amount for such fiscal year; and, further provided,
12 that the amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under
13 this clause (b) shall be payable only until such time as the
14 aggregate amount on deposit under each trust indenture securing
15 Bonds issued and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois
16 Bond Act is sufficient, taking into account any future
17 investment income, to fully provide, in accordance with such
18 indenture, for the defeasance of or the payment of the

9 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
10 overpayment of liability.
11     For greater simplicity of administration, it shall be
12 permissible for manufacturers, importers and wholesalers whose

10 with the return for January, February and March of a given year
11 being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
12 May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
13 with the return for July, August and September of a given year
14 being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
15 October, November and December of a given year being due by
16 January 20 of the following year.
17     If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
18 quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
19 liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
20 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
21 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
22 of the following year.
23     Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
24 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
25 returns.
26     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
27 the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
28 case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
29 which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
30 such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
31 Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
32 business.
33     Where the same person has more than one business registered
34 with the Department under separate registrations under this
35 Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
36 single return covering all such registered businesses, but

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 92 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
2     In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
3 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
4 an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
5 tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
6 upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
7 separate return for each such item of tangible personal
8 property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
9 transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
10 vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
11 watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
12 watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
13 purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
14 motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
15 watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
16 a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
17 Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
18 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
19 transaction to the Department on the same uniform
20 invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
21 this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
22 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
23 and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
24 with an inboard motor.
25     Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
26 aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
27 an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
28 liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
29 transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
30 to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
31 quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
32 to file returns on an annual basis.
33     The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
34 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
35 agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
36 Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle

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

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

1 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
2 the information required by the transaction reporting return
3 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
4 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
5 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
6 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
7 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
8 with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
9 provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
10 the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
11 same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
12 if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
13     Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
14 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
15 returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
16 subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
17 may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
18 receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
19 return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
20 with respect to such receipts.
21     Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
22 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
23 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
24 accredited agent of such corporation.
25     Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
26 filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
27 signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
28 the limited liability company.
29     Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
30 return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
31 return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
32 Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
33 on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
34 whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
35 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
36 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 96 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
2 to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
3 which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
4 retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
5 transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
6 shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
7 such retailer files his periodic return.
8     Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
9 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
10 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
11 Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
12 remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
13 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
14 shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
15 day of the month next following the month during which such tax
16 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
17 on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
18 during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
19 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
20 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
21 Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
22 liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
23 with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
24 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
25 with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
26 next following the month during which such tax liability is
27 incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
28 the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
29 liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
30 liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
31 payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
32 actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
33 Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
34 of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
35 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
36 the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the

1 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
2 after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
3 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
4 actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
5 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
6 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
7 or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
8 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
9 actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
10 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
11 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
12 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
13 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
14 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
15 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
16 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
17 such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
18 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
19 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
20 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
21 calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
22 actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
23 amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
24 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
25 that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
26 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
27 Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
28 of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
29 shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
30 to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
31 quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
32 month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
33 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
34 computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
35 calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
36 taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 98 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
2 to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
3 reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
4 threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
5 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
6 and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
7 the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
8 taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
9 more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
10 until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
11 Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
12 (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
13 lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
14 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
15 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
16 quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
17 show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
18 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
19 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
20 foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
21 above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
22 change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
23 shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
24 that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
25 long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
26 the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
27 taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
28 difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
29 amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
30 paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
31 payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
32 minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
33 The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
34 govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
35 payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
36 monthly basis.

1     The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
2 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
3 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
4 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
5 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
6 excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
7 calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
8 required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
9 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
10 month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
11 during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to the
12 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment
13 shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's
14 actual liability under Section 2d. If the month during which
15 such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
16 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
17 taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
18 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
19 preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
20 liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
21 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
22 actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
23 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
24 The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
25 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
26 that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
27 may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
28 quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
29 paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
30 prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
31 calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
32 monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
33 required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
34 interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
35 previously made payments for that month in excess of the
36 minimum payments previously due.

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 100 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
2 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
3 make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
4 who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
5 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
6 excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
7 calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
8 required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
9 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
10 month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
11 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
12 liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
13 the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
14 the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
15 final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
16 filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
17 Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
18 monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
19 shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
20 collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
21 (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
22 lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
23 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
24 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
25 quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
26 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
27 taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
28 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
29 payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
30 previously due.
31     If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
32 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
33 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
34 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
35 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
36 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 101 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
2 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
3 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
4 in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
5 prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
6 taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
7 subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
8 the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
9 Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
10 regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
11 subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
12 taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
13 and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
14 of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
15 due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
16 interest on such difference.
17     If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
18 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
19 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
20 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
21 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
22     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
23 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the
24 State treasury which is hereby created, the net revenue
25 realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of
26 food for human consumption which is to be consumed off the
27 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft
28 drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate
29 consumption) and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
30 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
31 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
32     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
33 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a special
34 fund in the State treasury which is hereby created, 4% of the
35 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
36 general rate.

1     Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
2 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the
3 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
4 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
5     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
6 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue
7 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on
8 the selling price of tangible personal property.
9     Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
10 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue
11 realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the
12 selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
13     Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
14 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
15 Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
16 and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
17 Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
18 year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
19 may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required
20 to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this Act,

8 shall be deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project

12     Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
13 and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
14 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
15 enacted, beginning July 1, 1993, the Department shall each
16 month pay into the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of
17 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
18 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
19 property.
20     Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
21 and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
22 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
23 enacted, beginning with the receipt of the first report of
24 taxes paid by an eligible business and continuing for a 25-year
25 period, the Department shall each month pay into the Energy
26 Infrastructure Fund 80% of the net revenue realized from the
27 6.25% general rate on the selling price of Illinois-mined coal
28 that was sold to an eligible business. For purposes of this
29 paragraph, the term "eligible business" means a new electric
30 generating facility certified pursuant to Section 605-332 of
31 the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community
32 Affairs Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
33     Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department

3     The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
4 taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
5 Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
6 less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
7 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
8 Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
9 of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last Federal
10 income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
11 reported in the Federal income tax return do not agree with the
12 gross receipts reported to the Department of Revenue for the
13 same period, the retailer shall attach to his annual return a
14 schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
15 reasons for the difference. The retailer's annual return to the
16 Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by the
17 retailer during the year covered by such return, opening and
18 closing inventories of such goods for such year, costs of goods
19 used from stock or taken from stock and given away by the
20 retailer during such year, payroll information of the
21 retailer's business during such year and any additional
22 reasonable information which the Department deems would be
23 helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly
24 or annual returns filed by such retailer as provided for in
25 this Section.
26     If the annual information return required by this Section
27 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable
28 as follows:
29         (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be liable
30     for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such
31     taxpayer under this Act during the period to be covered by
32     the annual return for each month or fraction of a month
33     until such return is filed as required, the penalty to be
34     assessed and collected in the same manner as any other
35     penalty provided for in this Act.
36         (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 108 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
2     Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
3     The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
4 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
5 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
6 willfully signs the annual return containing false or
7 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
8 accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
9 Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
10 return may be liable for perjury.
11     The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an
12 annual information return do not apply to a retailer who is not
13 required to file an income tax return with the United States
14 Government.
15     As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon
16 certification of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller
17 shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
18 the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
19 equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
20 for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
21 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
22     Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
23 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
24 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
25 overpayment of liability.
26     For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
27 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
28 Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
29 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
30 Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to such
31 sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make written
32 objection to the Department to this arrangement.
33     Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail
34 selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers at
35 the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
36 local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or

2 2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required to file a
3 report with the Department providing the name of the merchant's
4 business, the name of the person or persons engaged in
5 merchant's business, the permanent address and Illinois
6 Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the merchant,
7 the dates and location of the event and other reasonable
8 information that the Department may require. The report must be
9 filed not later than the 20th day of the month next following
10 the month during which the event with retail sales was held.
11 Any person who fails to file a report required by this Section
12 commits a business offense and is subject to a fine not to
13 exceed $250.
14     Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible
15 personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
16 of seller at the Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art shows,
17 flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
18 transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
19 Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
20 the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
21 payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
22 impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
23 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
24 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
25 that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
26 who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
27 business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
28 exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of
29 loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall notify
30 concessionaires and other sellers affected by the imposition of
31 this requirement. In the absence of notification by the
32 Department, the concessionaires and other sellers shall file
33 their returns as otherwise required in this Section.

7         income for interest paid, accrued, or incurred,
8         directly or indirectly, to a foreign person who would
9         be a member of the same unitary business group but for
10         the fact that foreign person's business activity
11         outside the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
12         person's total business activity. The addition
13         modification required by this subparagraph shall be
14         reduced to the extent that dividends were included in
15         base income of the unitary group for the same taxable
16         year and received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
17         taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
18         included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964

29             income with respect to such interest; or
30                 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
31             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a foreign
32             person if the taxpayer can establish, based on a
33             preponderance of the evidence, both of the
34             following:
35                     (a) the foreign person, during the same
36                 taxable year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the

1                 interest to a person that is not a related
2                 member, and
3                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
4                 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
5                 foreign person did not have as a principal
6                 purpose the avoidance of Illinois income tax,
7                 and is paid pursuant to a contract or agreement
8                 that reflects an arm's-length interest rate
9                 and terms; or
10                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
11             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
12             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
13             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
14             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
15             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
16                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
17             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a foreign
18             person if the taxpayer establishes by clear and
19             convincing evidence that the adjustments are
20             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
21             agree in writing to the application or use of an
22             alternative method of apportionment under Section
23             304(f).
24                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
25             Director from making any other adjustment
26             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
27             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
28             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
29             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
30             and such regulations provide methods and standards
31             by which the Department will utilize its authority
32             under Section 404 of this Act;
33             (D-18) For taxable years ending on or after
34         December 31, 2004, an amount equal to the amount of
35         intangible expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
36         deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 114 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1         accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
2         foreign person who would be a member of the same
3         unitary business group but for the fact that the
4         foreign person's business activity outside the United
5         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
6         activity. The addition modification required by this
7         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
8         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
9         group for the same taxable year and received by the
10         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
11         business group (including amounts included in gross
12         income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
13         Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
14         Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
15         to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
16         expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
17         incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
18         apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
19         reduction to the addition modification required under
20         Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
21         subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
22         includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
23         related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
24         maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
25         or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
26         losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
27         factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
28         (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
29         (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
30         costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
31         property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
32         names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
33         works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
34         assets.
35             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
36                 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 115 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
2             indirectly, from a transaction with a foreign
3             person who is subject in a foreign country or
4             state, other than a state which requires mandatory
5             unitary reporting, to a tax on or measured by net
6             income with respect to such item; or
7                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
8             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
9             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
10             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
11             following:
12                     (a) the foreign person during the same
13                 taxable year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
14                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
15                 not a related member, and
16                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
17                 intangible expense or cost between the
18                 taxpayer and the foreign person did not have as
19                 a principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
20                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
21                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
22                 or
23                 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
24             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
25             indirectly, from a transaction with a foreign

1                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
2             Director from making any other adjustment
3             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
4             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
5             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
6             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
7             and such regulations provide methods and standards
8             by which the Department will utilize its authority
9             under Section 404 of this Act;
10             (E-13) For taxable years ending on or after
11         December 31, 2004, an amount equal to the amount of
12         intangible expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
13         deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
14         accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
15         foreign person who would be a member of the same
16         unitary business group but for the fact that the
17         foreign person's business activity outside the United
18         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
19         activity. The addition modification required by this
20         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
21         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
22         group for the same taxable year and received by the

28         with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
29         the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
30         indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
31         sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
32         dividends caused a reduction to the addition
33         modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
34         this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
35         "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
36         losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or

8         subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
9         patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
10         marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
11         similar types of intangible assets.
12             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
13             (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs paid,
14             accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, from
15             a transaction with a foreign person who is subject
16             in a foreign country or state, other than a state
17             which requires mandatory unitary reporting, to a
18             tax on or measured by net income with respect to
19             such item; or
20             (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost paid,
21             accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, if
22             the taxpayer can establish, based on a
23             preponderance of the evidence, both of the
24             following:
25                 (a) the foreign person during the same taxable
26                 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
27                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
28                 not a related member, and
29                 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
30                 intangible expense or cost between the
31                 taxpayer and the foreign person did not have as
32                 a principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
33                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
34                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
35                 or
36                     (iii) any item of intangible expense or

2             indirectly, from a transaction with a foreign
3             person if the taxpayer establishes by clear and
4             convincing evidence, that the adjustments are
5             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
6             agree in writing to the application or use of an
7             alternative method of apportionment under Section
8             304(f);
9                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
10             Director from making any other adjustment
11             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
12             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
13             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
14             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
15             and such regulations provide methods and standards

23             which requires mandatory unitary reporting, to a
24             tax on or measured by net income with respect to
25             such item; or
26             (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost paid,
27             accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, if

5                 or
6                     (iii) any item of intangible expense or
7             cost paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
8             indirectly, from a transaction with a foreign

17                 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

25                 member, and
26                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the

28         more of that person's total business activity. The
29         addition modification required by this subparagraph
30         shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
31         included in base income of the unitary group for the
32         same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a

14         filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
15         for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
16         for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
17         purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
18         taxable income shall be determined as if the election
19         provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue
20         Code had been in effect for all such years;
21             (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative

35         a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
36         a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the

5         Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
6             (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
7         taxable income determined in accordance with Section
8         703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
9         income shall take into account those items which are

11         but which would be taken into account by an individual
12         in calculating his taxable income.
13         (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
14     asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
15     contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or

18     all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
19     year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
20     related to that asset or business that generated the
21     non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
22     business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
23     or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
24     using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
25     for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
26     taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
27     computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
28     the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
29     taxable years.

7         the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
8         taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
9         such gain included in the amount determined under

12             (A) If the fair market value of property referred
13         to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August

16         fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
17         determining gain) for such property on that date
18         (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
19         effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
20         and reportable for federal income tax purposes in

23             (B) If the fair market value of property referred
24         to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
25         August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
26         amount for such property is that amount which bears the
27         same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
28         property for federal income tax purposes for the
29         taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
30         that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
31         property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
32         full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
33         period for the property.
34             (C) The Department shall prescribe such
35         regulations as may be necessary to carry out the

15 rata in accordance with their respective distributive shares of
16 such partnership income for the partnership's taxable year and
17 allocated to this State.
18     (b) Allocation of partnership nonbusiness income by
19 partners other than residents. The respective shares of
20 partners other than residents in the items of partnership

1 nonbusiness income and shall be allocated to the partner's
2 state of residence (in the case of an individual) or commercial
3 domicile (in the case of any other person). However, any income
4 distributable to a nonresident partner shall be treated as
5 business income and apportioned as if such income had been
6 received directly by the partner if the partner has made an
7 election under Section 1501(a)(1) of this Act to treat all
8 income as business income or if such income is from investment
9 activity:
10         (1) that is directly or integrally related to any other
11     business activity conducted in this State by the
12     nonresident partner (or any member of that partner's
13     unitary business group);
14         (2) that serves an operational function to any other
15     business activity of the nonresident partner (or any member
16     of that partner's unitary business group) in this State; or
17         (3) where assets of the investment partnership were
18     acquired with working capital from a trade or business
19     activity conducted in this State in which the nonresident
20     partner (or any member of that partner's unitary business
21     group) owns an interest.

13         paragraph, the term "bank" includes (i) any entity that
14         is regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency under
15         the National Bank Act, or by the Federal Reserve Board,
16         or by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and

18         a credit card bank.
19             (C) For purposes of subparagraph (A) of this
20         paragraph, the term "sales finance company" has the
21         meaning provided in the following item (i) or (ii):
22                 (i) A person primarily engaged in one or more

8                 of this item (i).
9                 A customer receivable need not provide for
10             payment of interest on deferred payments. A sales
11             finance company may purchase a customer receivable
12             from, or make a loan secured by a customer
13             receivable to, the seller in the original
14             transaction or to a person who purchased the
15             customer receivable directly or indirectly from
16             that seller.
17                 (ii) A corporation meeting each of the
18             following criteria:
19                     (a) the corporation must be a member of an
20                 "affiliated group" within the meaning of
21                 Section 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code,
22                 determined without regard to Section 1504(b)
23                 of the Internal Revenue Code;
24                     (b) more than 50% of the gross income of
25                 the corporation for the taxable year must be
26                 interest income derived from qualifying loans.
27                 A "qualifying loan" is a loan made to a member
28                 of the corporation's affiliated group that
29                 originates customer receivables (within the
30                 meaning of item (i)) or to whom customer
31                 receivables originated by a member of the
32                 affiliated group have been transferred, to the
33                 extent the average outstanding balance of
34                 loans from that corporation to members of its
35                 affiliated group during the taxable year do not
36                 exceed the limitation amount for that

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 169 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1                 corporation. The "limitation amount" for a
2                 corporation is the average outstanding
3                 balances during the taxable year of customer
4                 receivables (within the meaning of item (i))
5                 originated by all members of the affiliated
6                 group. If the average outstanding balances of
7                 the loans made by a corporation to members of
8                 its affiliated group exceed the limitation
9                 amount, the interest income of that
10                 corporation from qualifying loans shall be
11                 equal to its interest income from loans to
12                 members of its affiliated groups times a
13                 fraction equal to the limitation amount
14                 divided by the average outstanding balances of
15                 the loans made by that corporation to members
16                 of its affiliated group;
17                     (c) the total of all shareholder's equity
18                 (including, without limitation, paid-in
19                 capital on common and preferred stock and
20                 retained earnings) of the corporation plus the
21                 total of all of its loans, advances, and other
22                 obligations payable or owed to members of its
23                 affiliated group may not exceed 20% of the
24                 total assets of the corporation at any time
25                 during the tax year; and
26                     (d) more than 50% of all interest-bearing
27                 obligations of the affiliated group payable to
28                 persons outside the group determined in
29                 accordance with generally accepted accounting
30                 principles must be obligations of the
31                 corporation.

4         on or before the effective date of this amendatory Act

15         does not fall within the definition of a "financial
16         organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
17         the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may
18         irrevocably elect to apply the Proposed Regulations
19         for all of those years as though the Proposed
20         Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted,
21         and in effect for all of those years. For purposes of
22         applying subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph to
23         all of those years, the election allowed by this
24         subparagraph applies only to the taxpayer making the
25         election and to those members of the taxpayer's unitary
26         business group who are ordinarily required to
27         apportion business income under the same subsection of
28         Section 304 of this Act as the taxpayer making the
29         election. No election allowed by this subparagraph
30         shall be made under a claim filed under subsection (d)
31         of Section 909 more than 30 days after the effective
32         date of this amendatory Act of 1996.
33             (F) Finance Leases. For purposes of this
34         subsection, a finance lease shall be treated as a loan
35         or other extension of credit, rather than as a lease,
36         regardless of how the transaction is characterized for

1         any other purpose, including the purposes of any
2         regulatory agency to which the lessor is subject. A
3         finance lease is any transaction in the form of a lease
4         in which the lessee is treated as the owner of the
5         leased asset entitled to any deduction for
6         depreciation allowed under Section 167 of the Internal
7         Revenue Code.

SB2207 Enrolled - 177 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     group will not include those members whose business
2     activity outside the United States is 80% or more of any
3     such member's total business activity; for purposes of this
4     paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304,
5     business activity within the United States shall be
6     measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
7     under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of Section 304
8     except that, in the case of members ordinarily required to
9     apportion business income by means of the 3 factor formula
10     of property, payroll and sales specified in subsection (a)
11     of Section 304, including the formula as weighted in
12     subsection (h) of Section 304, such members shall not use
13     the sales factor in the computation and the results of the
14     property and payroll factor computations of subsection (a)
15     of Section 304 shall be divided by 2 (by one if either the
16     property or payroll factor has a denominator of zero). The
17     computation required by the preceding sentence shall, in
18     each case, involve the division of the member's property,
19     payroll, or revenue miles in the United States, insurance
20     premiums on property or risk in the United States, or
21     financial organization business income from sources within
22     the United States, as the case may be, by the respective
23     worldwide figures for such items. Common ownership in the
24     case of corporations is the direct or indirect control or
25     ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock
26     of the persons carrying on unitary business activity.
27     Unitary business activity can ordinarily be illustrated
28     where the activities of the members are: (1) in the same
29     general line (such as manufacturing, wholesaling,
30     retailing of tangible personal property, insurance,
31     transportation or finance); or (2) are steps in a
32     vertically structured enterprise or process (such as the
33     steps involved in the production of natural resources,
34     which might include exploration, mining, refining, and
35     marketing); and, in either instance, the members are
36     functionally integrated through the exercise of strong

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 178 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     centralized management (where, for example, authority over
2     such matters as purchasing, financing, tax compliance,
3     product line, personnel, marketing and capital investment
4     is not left to each member). In no event, however, will any
5     unitary business group include members which are
6     ordinarily required to apportion business income under
7     different subsections of Section 304 except that for tax
8     years ending on or after December 31, 1987 this prohibition
9     shall not apply to a unitary business group composed of one
10     or more taxpayers all of which apportion business income
11     pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 304, or all of which
12     apportion business income pursuant to subsection (d) of
13     Section 304, and a holding company of such single-factor
14     taxpayers (see definition of "financial organization" for
15     rule regarding holding companies of financial
16     organizations). If a unitary business group would, but for
17     the preceding sentence, include members that are
18     ordinarily required to apportion business income under
19     different subsections of Section 304, then for each
20     subsection of Section 304 for which there are two or more
21     members, there shall be a separate unitary business group
22     composed of such members. For purposes of the preceding two
23     sentences, a member is "ordinarily required to apportion
24     business income" under a particular subsection of Section
25     304 if it would be required to use the apportionment method
26     prescribed by such subsection except for the fact that it
27     derives business income solely from Illinois. As used in
28     this paragraph, the phrase "United States" means only the
29     50 states and the District of Columbia, but does not
30     include any territory or possession of the United States or
31     any area over which the United States has asserted
32     jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights with respect to
33     the exploration for or exploitation of natural resources.
34         If the unitary business group members' accounting
35     periods differ, the common parent's accounting period or,
36     if there is no common parent, the accounting period of the

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 179 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     member that is expected to have, on a recurring basis, the
2     greatest Illinois income tax liability must be used to
3     determine whether to use the apportionment method provided
4     in subsection (a) or subsection (h) of Section 304. The
5     prohibition against membership in a unitary business group
6     for taxpayers ordinarily required to apportion income
7     under different subsections of Section 304 does not apply
8     to taxpayers required to apportion income under subsection
9     (a) and subsection (h) of Section 304. The provisions of
10     this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax years ending on or
11     after December 31, 1998.
12         (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term "Subchapter S
13     corporation" means a corporation for which there is in
14     effect an election under Section 1362 of the Internal
15     Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to
16     opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S Revision Act
17     of 1982 and have applied instead the prior federal
18     Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
19         (30) Foreign person. The term "foreign person" means
20     any person who is a nonresident alien individual and any
21     nonindividual entity, regardless of where created or
22     organized, whose business activity outside the United
23     States is 80% or more of the entity's total business
24     activity.
 
25     (b) Other definitions.
26         (1) Words denoting number, gender, and so forth, when
27     used in this Act, where not otherwise distinctly expressed
28     or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof:
29             (A) Words importing the singular include and apply
30         to several persons, parties or things;
31             (B) Words importing the plural include the
32         singular; and
33             (C) Words importing the masculine gender include
34         the feminine as well.
35         (2) "Company" or "association" as including successors

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 180 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     and assigns. The word "company" or "association", when used
2     in reference to a corporation, shall be deemed to embrace
3     the words "successors and assigns of such company or
4     association", and in like manner as if these last-named
5     words, or words of similar import, were expressed.
6         (3) Other terms. Any term used in any Section of this
7     Act with respect to the application of, or in connection
8     with, the provisions of any other Section of this Act shall
9     have the same meaning as in such other Section.

16     reported if such credit or refund is not attributable to
17     the tax avoidance transaction. No penalty may be waived or

14     under report the taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability,
15     reporting the total Illinois net income and tax for such
16     taxable year computed without regard to any tax avoidance
17     transactions;
18         (2) Makes full payment of the additional Illinois
19     income tax and interest due for such taxable year that is
20     attributable to the use of the tax avoidance transaction
21     (not including a payment made under protest as provided in
22     Section 2a.1 of the State Officers and Employees Money
23     Disposition Act (30 ILCS 230/2a.1));
24     For purposes of this subsection (c), if the Department
25 subsequently determines that the correct amount of Illinois
26 income tax was not paid for the taxable year, then the penalty
27 relief under this Section shall not apply to any portion of the
28 underpayment attributable to a tax avoidance transaction not
29 paid to the State.
30     Section 35-10. "Tax avoidance transaction" defined. For
31 purposes of this Law, the term "tax avoidance transaction"
32 means a plan or arrangement devised for the principal purpose
33 of avoiding federal income tax. Tax avoidance transactions
34 include, but are not limited to, "listed transactions" as
35 defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(2).
1     Section 35-15. Use of evidence of participation in the
2 program. The fact of a taxpayer's participation in the tax
3 shelter voluntary compliance program shall not be considered
4 evidence that the taxpayer in fact engaged in a tax avoidance
5 transaction.
6     Section 35-90. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by
7 changing Sections 501, 905, 1001, 1002, and 1005 and by adding
8 Sections 1007, 1008, 1405.5, and 1405.6 as follows:

10     Sec. 501. Notice or Regulations Requiring Records,
11 Statements and Special Returns.
12     (a) In general. Every person liable for any tax imposed by
13 this Act shall keep such records, render such statements, make
14 such returns and notices, and comply with such rules and
15 regulations as the Department may from time to time prescribe.
16 Whenever in the judgment of the Director it is necessary, he
17 may require any person, by notice served upon such person or by
18 regulations, to make such returns and notices, render such
19 statements, or keep such records, as the Director deems
20 sufficient to show whether or not such person is liable for tax
21 under this Act.
22     (b) Reportable transactions. For each taxable year in which
23 a taxpayer is required to make a disclosure statement under
24 Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4 (26 CFR 1.6011-4)
25 (including any taxpayer that is a member of a consolidated
26 group required to make such disclosure) with respect to a
27 reportable transaction (including a listed transaction) in
28 which the taxpayer participated in a taxable year for which a
29 return is required under Section 502 of this Act, such taxpayer
30 shall file a copy of such disclosure with the Department.
31 Disclosure under this subsection is required to be made by any
32 taxpayer that is a member of a unitary business group that
33 includes any person required to make a disclosure statement

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 199 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 under Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4. Disclosure under
2 this subsection is required with respect to any transaction
3 entered into after February 28, 2000 that becomes a listed
4 transaction at any time, and shall be made in the manner
5 prescribed by the Department. With respect to transactions in
6 which the taxpayer participated for taxable years ending before
7 December 31, 2004, disclosure shall be made by the due date
8 (including extensions) of the first return required under
9 Section 502 of this Act due after the effective date of this
10 amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly. With respect to
11 transactions in which the taxpayer participated for taxable
12 years ending on and after December 31, 2004, disclosure shall
13 be made in the time and manner prescribed in Treasury
14 Regulations Section 1.6011-4(e). Notwithstanding the above, no
15 disclosure is required for transactions entered into after
16 February 28, 2000 and before January 1, 2005 (i) if the
17 taxpayer has filed an amended Illinois income tax return which
18 reverses the tax benefits of the potential tax avoidance
19 transaction, or (ii) as a result of a federal audit the
20 Internal Revenue Service has determined the tax treatment of
21 the transaction and an Illinois amended return has been filed
22 to reflect the federal treatment.

24     (35 ILCS 5/905)  (from Ch. 120, par. 9-905)
25     Sec. 905. Limitations on Notices of Deficiency.
26     (a) In general. Except as otherwise provided in this Act:
27         (1) A notice of deficiency shall be issued not later
28     than 3 years after the date the return was filed, and
29         (2) No deficiency shall be assessed or collected with
30     respect to the year for which the return was filed unless
31     such notice is issued within such period.
32     (b) Substantial omission of items.
33         (1) Omission of more than 25% of income. If the
34     taxpayer omits from base income an amount properly
35     includible therein which is in excess of 25% of the amount

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 200 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     of base income stated in the return, a notice of deficiency
2     may be issued not later than 6 years after the return was
3     filed. For purposes of this paragraph, there shall not be
4     taken into account any amount which is omitted in the
5     return if such amount is disclosed in the return, or in a
6     statement attached to the return, in a manner adequate to
7     apprise the Department of the nature and the amount of such
8     item.
9         (2) Reportable transactions. If a taxpayer fails to
10     include on any return or statement for any taxable year any
11     information with respect to a reportable transaction, as
12     required under Section 501(b) of this Act, a notice of
13     deficiency may be issued not later than 6 years after the
14     return is filed with respect to the taxable year in which
15     the taxpayer participated in the reportable transaction
16     and said deficiency is limited to the non-disclosed item.
17     (c) No return or fraudulent return. If no return is filed
18 or a false and fraudulent return is filed with intent to evade
19 the tax imposed by this Act, a notice of deficiency may be
20 issued at any time.
21     (d) Failure to report federal change. If a taxpayer fails
22 to notify the Department in any case where notification is
23 required by Section 304(c) or 506(b), or fails to report a
24 change or correction which is treated in the same manner as if
25 it were a deficiency for federal income tax purposes, a notice
26 of deficiency may be issued (i) at any time or (ii) on or after
27 August 13, 1999, at any time for the taxable year for which the
28 notification is required or for any taxable year to which the
29 taxpayer may carry an Article 2 credit, or a Section 207 loss,
30 earned, incurred, or used in the year for which the
31 notification is required; provided, however, that the amount of
32 any proposed assessment set forth in the notice shall be
33 limited to the amount of any deficiency resulting under this
34 Act from the recomputation of the taxpayer's net income,
35 Article 2 credits, or Section 207 loss earned, incurred, or
36 used in the taxable year for which the notification is required

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 201 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 after giving effect to the item or items required to be
2 reported.
3     (e) Report of federal change.
4         (1) Before August 13, 1999, in any case where
5     notification of an alteration is given as required by
6     Section 506(b), a notice of deficiency may be issued at any
7     time within 2 years after the date such notification is
8     given, provided, however, that the amount of any proposed
9     assessment set forth in such notice shall be limited to the
10     amount of any deficiency resulting under this Act from
11     recomputation of the taxpayer's net income, net loss, or
12     Article 2 credits for the taxable year after giving effect
13     to the item or items reflected in the reported alteration.
14         (2) On and after August 13, 1999, in any case where
15     notification of an alteration is given as required by
16     Section 506(b), a notice of deficiency may be issued at any
17     time within 2 years after the date such notification is
18     given for the taxable year for which the notification is
19     given or for any taxable year to which the taxpayer may
20     carry an Article 2 credit, or a Section 207 loss, earned,
21     incurred, or used in the year for which the notification is
22     given, provided, however, that the amount of any proposed
23     assessment set forth in such notice shall be limited to the
24     amount of any deficiency resulting under this Act from
25     recomputation of the taxpayer's net income, Article 2
26     credits, or Section 207 loss earned, incurred, or used in
27     the taxable year for which the notification is given after
28     giving effect to the item or items reflected in the
29     reported alteration.
30     (f) Extension by agreement. Where, before the expiration of
31 the time prescribed in this Section for the issuance of a
32 notice of deficiency, both the Department and the taxpayer
33 shall have consented in writing to its issuance after such
34 time, such notice may be issued at any time prior to the
35 expiration of the period agreed upon. In the case of a taxpayer
36 who is a partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or trust and

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 202 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 who enters into an agreement with the Department pursuant to
2 this subsection on or after January 1, 2003, a notice of
3 deficiency may be issued to the partners, shareholders, or
4 beneficiaries of the taxpayer at any time prior to the
5 expiration of the period agreed upon. Any proposed assessment
6 set forth in the notice, however, shall be limited to the
7 amount of any deficiency resulting under this Act from
8 recomputation of items of income, deduction, credits, or other
9 amounts of the taxpayer that are taken into account by the
10 partner, shareholder, or beneficiary in computing its
11 liability under this Act. The period so agreed upon may be
12 extended by subsequent agreements in writing made before the
13 expiration of the period previously agreed upon.
14     (g) Erroneous refunds. In any case in which there has been
15 an erroneous refund of tax payable under this Act, a notice of
16 deficiency may be issued at any time within 2 years from the
17 making of such refund, or within 5 years from the making of
18 such refund if it appears that any part of the refund was
19 induced by fraud or the misrepresentation of a material fact,
20 provided, however, that the amount of any proposed assessment
21 set forth in such notice shall be limited to the amount of such
22 erroneous refund.
23     Beginning July 1, 1993, in any case in which there has been
24 a refund of tax payable under this Act attributable to a net
25 loss carryback as provided for in Section 207, and that refund
26 is subsequently determined to be an erroneous refund due to a
27 reduction in the amount of the net loss which was originally
28 carried back, a notice of deficiency for the erroneous refund
29 amount may be issued at any time during the same time period in
30 which a notice of deficiency can be issued on the loss year
31 creating the carryback amount and subsequent erroneous refund.
32 The amount of any proposed assessment set forth in the notice
33 shall be limited to the amount of such erroneous refund.
34     (h) Time return deemed filed. For purposes of this Section
35 a tax return filed before the last day prescribed by law
36 (including any extension thereof) shall be deemed to have been

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 203 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 filed on such last day.
2     (i) Request for prompt determination of liability. For
3 purposes of subsection (a)(1), in the case of a tax return
4 required under this Act in respect of a decedent, or by his
5 estate during the period of administration, or by a
6 corporation, the period referred to in such Subsection shall be
7 18 months after a written request for prompt determination of
8 liability is filed with the Department (at such time and in
9 such form and manner as the Department shall by regulations
10 prescribe) by the executor, administrator, or other fiduciary
11 representing the estate of such decedent, or by such
12 corporation, but not more than 3 years after the date the
13 return was filed. This subsection shall not apply in the case
14 of a corporation unless:
15         (1) (A) such written request notifies the Department
16     that the corporation contemplates dissolution at or before
17     the expiration of such 18-month period, (B) the dissolution
18     is begun in good faith before the expiration of such
19     18-month period, and (C) the dissolution is completed;
20         (2) (A) such written request notifies the Department
21     that a dissolution has in good faith been begun, and (B)
22     the dissolution is completed; or
23         (3) a dissolution has been completed at the time such
24     written request is made.
25     (j) Withholding tax. In the case of returns required under
26 Article 7 of this Act (with respect to any amounts withheld as
27 tax or any amounts required to have been withheld as tax) a
28 notice of deficiency shall be issued not later than 3 years
29 after the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the
30 calendar year in which such withholding was required.
31     (k) Penalties for failure to make information reports. A
32 notice of deficiency for the penalties provided by Subsection
33 1405.1(c) of this Act may not be issued more than 3 years after
34 the due date of the reports with respect to which the penalties
35 are asserted.
36     (l) Penalty for failure to file withholding returns. A

2 this Act for taxpayer's failure to file withholding returns may
3 not be issued more than three years after the 15th day of the
4 4th month following the close of the calendar year in which the
5 withholding giving rise to taxpayer's obligation to file those
6 returns occurred.
7     (m) Transferee liability. A notice of deficiency may be
8 issued to a transferee relative to a liability asserted under
9 Section 1405 during time periods defined as follows:
10         1) Initial Transferee. In the case of the liability of
11     an initial transferee, up to 2 years after the expiration
12     of the period of limitation for assessment against the
13     transferor, except that if a court proceeding for review of
14     the assessment against the transferor has begun, then up to
15     2 years after the return of the certified copy of the
16     judgment in the court proceeding.
17         2) Transferee of Transferee. In the case of the
18     liability of a transferee, up to 2 years after the
19     expiration of the period of limitation for assessment
20     against the preceding transferee, but not more than 3 years
21     after the expiration of the period of limitation for
22     assessment against the initial transferor; except that if,
23     before the expiration of the period of limitation for the
24     assessment of the liability of the transferee, a court
25     proceeding for the collection of the tax or liability in
26     respect thereof has been begun against the initial
27     transferor or the last preceding transferee, as the case
28     may be, then the period of limitation for assessment of the
29     liability of the transferee shall expire 2 years after the
30     return of the certified copy of the judgment in the court
31     proceeding.
32     (n) Notice of decrease in net loss. On and after the
33 effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General
34 Assembly, no notice of deficiency shall be issued as the result
35 of a decrease determined by the Department in the net loss
36 incurred by a taxpayer under Section 207 of this Act unless the

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 205 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 Department has notified the taxpayer of the proposed decrease
2 within 3 years after the return reporting the loss was filed or
3 within one year after an amended return reporting an increase
4 in the loss was filed, provided that in the case of an amended
5 return, a decrease proposed by the Department more than 3 years
6 after the original return was filed may not exceed the increase
7 claimed by the taxpayer on the original return.

10     Sec. 1001. Failure to File Tax Returns.
11     (a) Failure to file tax return. In case of failure to file
12 any tax return required under this Act on the date prescribed
13 therefor, (determined with regard to any extensions of time for
14 filing) there shall be added as a penalty the amount prescribed
15 by Section 3-3 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
16     (b) Failure to disclose reportable transaction. Any
17 taxpayer who fails to comply with the requirements of Section
18 501(b) of this Act shall pay a penalty in the amount determined
19 under this subsection. Such penalty shall be deemed assessed
20 upon the date of filing of the return for the taxable year in
21 which the taxpayer participates in the reportable transaction.
22 A taxpayer shall not be considered to have complied with the
23 requirements of Section 501(b) of this Act unless the
24 disclosure statement filed with the Department includes all of
25 the information required to be disclosed with respect to a
26 reportable transaction pursuant to Treasury Regulations
27 Section 1.6011-4 (26 CFR 1.6011-4) and regulations promulgated
28 by the Department under Section 501(b) of this Act.
29     (1) Amount of penalty. Except as provided in paragraph (2),
30 the amount of the penalty under this subsection shall be
31 $15,000 for each failure to comply with the requirements of
32 Section 501(b).

SB2207 Enrolled - 206 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 under this subsection shall be $30,000 for each failure.
2     (3) Authority to rescind penalty. The Department may
3 rescind all or any portion of any penalty imposed by this
4 subsection with respect to any violation, if any of the
5 following apply:
6         (A) It is determined that failure to comply did not
7     jeopardize the best interests of the State and is not due
8     to any willful neglect or any intent not to comply;
9         (B) The person on whom the penalty is imposed has a
10     history of complying with the requirements of this Act;
11         (C) It is shown that the violation is due to an
12     unintentional mistake of fact;
13         (D) Imposing the penalty would be against equity and
14     good conscience;
15         (E) Rescinding the penalty would promote compliance
16     with the requirements of this Act and effective tax
17     administration; or
18         (F) The taxpayer can show that there was a reasonable
19     cause for the failure to disclose and that the taxpayer
20     acted in good faith.
21     A determination made under this subparagraph (3) may be
22 reviewed in any administrative or judicial proceeding.
23     (4) Coordination with other penalties. The penalty imposed
24 by this subsection is in addition to any penalty imposed by
25 this Act or the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act. The doubling
26 of penalties and interest authorized by the Illinois Tax
27 Delinquency Amnesty Act (P.A. 93-26) are not applicable to the
28 reportable penalties under subsection (b).
29     (c) The total penalty imposed under subsection (b) of this
30 Section with respect to any taxable year shall not exceed 10%
31 of the increase in net income (or reduction in Illinois net
32 loss under Section 207 of this Act) that would result had the
33 taxpayer not participated in any reportable transaction
34 affecting its net income for such taxable year.

2     Sec. 1002. Failure to Pay Tax.
3     (a) Negligence. If any part of a deficiency is due to
4 negligence or intentional disregard of rules and regulations
5 (but without intent to defraud) there shall be added to the tax
6 as a penalty the amount prescribed by Section 3-5 of the
7 Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
8     (b) Fraud. If any part of a deficiency is due to fraud,

11 Act.
12     (c) Nonwillful failure to pay withholding tax. If any
13 employer, without intent to evade or defeat any tax imposed by
14 this Act or the payment thereof, shall fail to make a return
15 and pay a tax withheld by him at the time required by or under
16 the provisions of this Act, such employer shall be liable for
17 such taxes and shall pay the same together with the interest
18 and the penalty provided by Sections 3-2 and 3-3, respectively,
19 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act and such interest and
20 penalty shall not be charged to or collected from the employee

26 attempts in any manner to evade or defeat the tax or the

28 by law, be liable for the penalty imposed by Section 3-7 of the
29 Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
30     (e) Penalties assessable.

5     the return for the taxable year.
6         (3) Procedure for assessing the penalty for failure to
7     file withholding returns or annual transmittal forms for
8     wage and tax statements. The penalty imposed by Section
9     1004 will be asserted by the Department's issuance of a
10     notice of deficiency. If taxpayer files a timely protest,
11     the procedures of Section 908 will be followed. If taxpayer
12     does not file a timely protest, the notice of deficiency
13     will constitute an assessment pursuant to subsection (c) of
14     Section 904.
15         (4) Assessment of penalty under Section 1005(b). The
16     penalty imposed under Section 1005(b) shall be deemed
17     assessed upon the assessment of the tax to which such
18     penalty relates and shall be collected and paid on notice
19     and demand in the same manner as the tax.
20     (f) Determination of deficiency. For purposes of
21 subsections (a) and (b), the amount shown as the tax by the
22 taxpayer upon his return shall be taken into account in
23 determining the amount of the deficiency only if such return
24 was filed on or before the last day prescribed by law for the
25 filing of such return, including any extensions of the time for
26 such filing.

2 reportable transaction understatement for any taxable year,
3 there shall be added to the tax an amount equal to 20% of the
4 amount of that understatement. This penalty shall be deemed
5 assessed upon the assessment of the tax to which such penalty
6 relates and shall be collected and paid on notice and demand in
7 the same manner as the tax.
8         (1) Reportable transaction understatement. For
9     purposes of this Section, the term "reportable transaction

13         reference to the amount of post-apportioned income
14         that results from a difference between the proper tax
15         treatment of an item to which this subsection applies
16         and the taxpayer's treatment of that item (as shown on
17         the taxpayer's return of tax), including an amended
18         return filed prior to the date the taxpayer is first
19         contacted by the Department regarding the examination

1     significant purpose of the transaction is the avoidance or
2     evasion of federal income tax.
3         (3) Subsection (b) shall be applied by substituting
4     "30%" for "20%" with respect to the portion of any

7     not met.
8         (4) Reasonable cause exception.
9             (A) In general. No penalty shall be imposed under
10         this subsection with respect to any portion of a
11         reportable transaction understatement if it is shown

13         that the taxpayer acted in good faith with respect to
14         such portion.
15             (B) Special rules. Subparagraph (A) does not apply

19                 (i) The relevant facts affecting the tax
20             treatment of the item are adequately disclosed in
21             accordance with Section 501(b) of this Act. A

23             accordance with Section 501(b) shall be treated as
24             meeting the requirements of this subparagraph (i)
25             if the penalty for that failure was rescinded under
26             Section 1001(b)(3) of this Act;
27                 (ii) There is or was substantial authority for
28             such treatment; and
29                 (iii) The taxpayer reasonably believed that
30             such treatment was more likely than not the proper

32             (C) Rules relating to reasonable belief. For
33         purposes of subparagraph (B), a taxpayer shall be
34         treated as having a reasonable belief with respect to
35         the tax treatment of an item only if such belief meets
36         the requirements of this subparagraph (C):

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 211 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1                 (i) Such belief must be based on the facts and
2             law that exist at the time the return of tax that
3             includes that tax treatment is filed;
4                 (ii) Such belief must relate solely to the
5             taxpayer's chances of success on the merits of that
6             treatment and does not take into account the
7             possibility that the return will not be audited,
8             that the treatment will not be raised on audit, or
9             that the treatment will be resolved through
10             settlement if it is raised; and
11                 (iii) Such belief is not solely based on the
12             opinion of a disqualified tax advisor or on a
13             disqualified opinion.

29 transaction, the taxpayer is subject to interest as provided
30 under Section 3-2 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, but

32 avoidance transaction, the taxpayer is subject to interest at a
33 rate of 150% of the otherwise applicable rate.
34     (e) Coordination with other penalties. Except as provided
35 in regulations, the penalties imposed by this Section are in
36 addition to any other penalty imposed by this Act or the

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 214 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

10         (2) The person on whom the penalty is imposed has a
11     history of complying with the requirements of this Act;
12         (3) It is shown that the violation is due to an

6     Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
7     has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
8     subsection (d).

18     additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
19     property placed in service during the taxable year,
20     provided such property is placed in service on or after
21     July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
22     Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
23     year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
24     filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
25     Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
26     met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
27     which they file employment records with the Illinois
28     Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
29     this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
30     Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
31     law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
32     increase in base employment within Illinois over the
33     preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
34     be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
35     numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
36     1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall

1     not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
2     taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
3     any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
4     other than the year in which the property was placed in
5     service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
6     December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
7     credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
8     property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
9     credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
10     exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
11     amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
12     the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
13     excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
14     which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
15     equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
16     enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
17     Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
18     Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
19     Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
20     complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
21     (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
22     Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
23     Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
24     such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
25     after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
26     the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
27     or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
28     for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
29     the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
30     forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
31     years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
32     be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
33     liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
34     that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
35     shall be applied first.
36         (2) The term "qualified property" means property

1     which:
2             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
3         buildings and structural components of buildings and
4         signs that are real property, but not including land or
5         improvements to real property that are not a structural
6         component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
7         lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
8         other appurtenances;
9             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
10         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
11         as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
12         eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
13         (e);
14             (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
15         179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
16             (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
17         primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
18         or fluorite, or in retailing; and
19             (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
20         such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
21         the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
22         subsection (f).
23         (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
24     "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
25     of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
26     regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
27     assembling which changes some existing material into new
28     shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
29     this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
30     meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
31     Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
32     the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
33     property or services rendered in conjunction with the sale
34     of tangible consumer goods or commodities.
35         (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
36     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 224 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     income tax purposes.
2         (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
3     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
4     in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
5     increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
6     date of such increase in basis.
7         (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
8     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
9         (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
10     be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
11     48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
12     any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
13     months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
14     Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
15     increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
16     recomputing the investment credit which would have been
17     allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
18     originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
19     computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
20     from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
21     purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
22     qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
23     purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
24     property to the extent of such reduction.
25         (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
26     the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
27     incurred after December 31, 2003, except for costs incurred
28     pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
29     December 31, 2003.
30         (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
31     a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
32     credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
33     subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
34     credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
35     against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
36     Section. If the partnership makes that election, those

1     credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
2     partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
3     Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
4     promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
5     the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
6     taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
7     its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
8     that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
9     shall be irrevocable.
10         For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
11     a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
12     under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
13     of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
14     S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
15     paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
16     allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
17     share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
18     the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
19     corporation, determined in accordance with the
20     determination of income and distributive share of income
21     under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
22     Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
23     of Section 250.
24       (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone.
25         (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
26     tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
27     investment in qualified property which is placed in service
28     in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
29     Enterprise Zone Act. For partners, shareholders of
30     Subchapter S corporations, and owners of limited liability
31     companies, if the liability company is treated as a
32     partnership for purposes of federal and State income
33     taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
34     subsection (f) to be determined in accordance with the
35     determination of income and distributive share of income
36     under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 226 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     Revenue Code. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
2     property. The credit shall be available only in the taxable
3     year in which the property is placed in service in the
4     Enterprise Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that
5     it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed
6     by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero.
7     For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the
8     credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
9     property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
10     credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
11     exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
12     amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
13     the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
14     excess credit year. The credit shall be applied to the
15     earliest year for which there is a liability. If there is
16     credit from more than one tax year that is available to
17     offset a liability, the credit accruing first in time shall
18     be applied first.
19         (2) The term qualified property means property which:
20             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
21         buildings and structural components of buildings;
22             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
23         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"

1     income tax purposes.
2         (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
3     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
4     in service in the Enterprise Zone by the taxpayer, the
5     amount of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
6     service on the date of such increase in basis.
7         (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
8     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
9         (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
10     be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
11     48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
12     any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
13     within 48 months after being placed in service, the tax
14     imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
15     such taxable year shall be increased. Such increase shall
16     be determined by (i) recomputing the investment credit
17     which would have been allowed for the year in which credit
18     for such property was originally allowed by eliminating
19     such property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting
20     such recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
21     allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
22     reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting from
23     a redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
24     disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
25     reduction.

27 Zone or Sub-Zone.
28         (1) A taxpayer conducting a trade or business in an

11         total employed by the taxpayer as of December 31, 1985,
12         whichever is later; and
13             (C) the eligible employees must be employed 180
14         consecutive days in order to be deemed hired for
15         purposes of this subsection.

4     For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1988, the
5     credit shall be allowed for the tax year immediately
6     following the tax year in which the eligible employees are
7     hired. If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
8     liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
9     liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
10     may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
11     the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
12     credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
13     there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
14     tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
15     credit shall be applied first.

1     Enterprise Zone Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent
2     that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax
3     imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below
4     zero. The credit applicable to such investments shall be
5     taken in the taxable year in which such investments have
6     been completed. The credit for additional investments
7     beyond the minimum investment by a designated high impact
8     business authorized under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section
9     5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act shall be available
10     only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
11     service and shall not be allowed to the extent that it
12     would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
13     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
14     tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987, the credit
15     shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
16     placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
17     the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
18     original liability or the liability as later amended, such
19     excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
20     liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
21     credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
22     year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
23     from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
24     liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
25     applied first.
26         Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
27     88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
28     reflect existing law.
29         (2) The term qualified property means property which:
30             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
31         buildings and structural components of buildings;
32             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
33         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
34         as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not

2         179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
3             (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
4         Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
5         Section.
6         (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
7     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
8     income tax purposes.
9         (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
10     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
11     in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
12     Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
13     such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
14     the date of such increase in basis.
15         (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
16     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
17         (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
18     December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
19     property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
20     after being placed in service, or the situs of any
21     qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
22     months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
23     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
24     year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
25     by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
26     been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
27     was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
28     such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
29     credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
30     the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
31     basis of qualified property resulting from a
32     redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
33     disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
34     reduction.
35         (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
36     1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 232 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
2     the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
3     the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
4     18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
5     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
6     for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
7     facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
8     received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
9     (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
10 Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
11 shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
12 (b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
13 (d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
14 multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
15 Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
16 allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
17 base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
18 rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
19     Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
20 subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
21 because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
22 and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
23 liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
24 forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
25 (a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
26 year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
27 year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
28 applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
29 liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
30 than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
31 earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
32 first.
33     If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
34 1986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
35 Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
36 subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 233 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
2 recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
3 imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
4 reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
5 taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
6 year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
7     (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
8 ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,

1     For tax years ending after July 1, 1990 and prior to
2 December 31, 2003, and beginning again for tax years ending on
3 or after December 31, 2004, a taxpayer shall be allowed a
4 credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of
5 this Section for increasing research activities in this State.
6 The credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
7 and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the qualifying expenditures
8 for increasing research activities in this State. For partners,
9 shareholders of subchapter S corporations, and owners of
10 limited liability companies, if the liability company is
11 treated as a partnership for purposes of federal and State
12 income taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
13 subsection to be determined in accordance with the
14 determination of income and distributive share of income under
15 Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
16 Code.
17     For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
18 means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
19 credit for increasing research activities which would be
20 allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
21 which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
22 increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
23 of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
24 incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
25 "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
26 of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
27 period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
28 preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
29 made.
30     Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
31 year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
32 unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
33 as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
34 taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
35 first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
36 prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 235 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 ending on or after December 31, 2003. ; provided that no credit
2 may be carried forward to any year ending on or after December
3 31, 2003.
4     If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
5 2 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
6 year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
7 given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
8 remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
9 applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
10 liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
11 credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
12 following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
13 that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
14 than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
15 credit is given was incurred.
16     No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
17 91st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable
18 years beginning before January 1, 1999.
19     (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
20         (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on
21     or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be allowed a
22     credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
23     of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed
24     eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
25     subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
26     eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
27     Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
28     Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
29     paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
30     which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
31     Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
32     Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
33     for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
34     eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
35     available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
36     party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 236 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
2     that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
3     pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
4     Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
5     Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
6     Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
7     enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
8     Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
9     for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
10     those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
11     includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
12     succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
13     and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
14     deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
15     Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being
16     a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
17     credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
18     and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
19     remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
20     that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
21     contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
22     Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
23     Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
24     total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
25     a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
26     shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
27     allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
28     accordance with the determination of income and
29     distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
30     subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
31         (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
32     unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
33     forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
34     for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
35     term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
36     unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 237 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
2     This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
3     which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
4     subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
5     offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
6     subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
7     this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
8     all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
9     was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
10     tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
11     carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
12     transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
13     chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
14     the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
15     assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
16     amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
17     the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
18     taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
19     eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
20         (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
21     shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
22     Environmental Protection Act.
23     (m) Education expense credit. Beginning with tax years
24 ending after December 31, 1999, a taxpayer who is the custodian
25 of one or more qualifying pupils shall be allowed a credit
26 against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this
27 Section for qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of
28 the qualifying pupils. The credit shall be equal to 25% of
29 qualified education expenses, but in no event may the total
30 credit under this subsection claimed by a family that is the
31 custodian of qualifying pupils exceed $500. In no event shall a
32 credit under this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability
33 under this Act to less than zero. This subsection is exempt
34 from the provisions of Section 250 of this Act.
35     For purposes of this subsection:
36     "Qualifying pupils" means individuals who (i) are

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 238 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1 residents of the State of Illinois, (ii) are under the age of
2 21 at the close of the school year for which a credit is
3 sought, and (iii) during the school year for which a credit is
4 sought were full-time pupils enrolled in a kindergarten through
5 twelfth grade education program at any school, as defined in
6 this subsection.
7     "Qualified education expense" means the amount incurred on
8 behalf of a qualifying pupil in excess of $250 for tuition,
9 book fees, and lab fees at the school in which the pupil is
10 enrolled during the regular school year.
11     "School" means any public or nonpublic elementary or
12 secondary school in Illinois that is in compliance with Title
13 VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and attendance at which
14 satisfies the requirements of Section 26-1 of the School Code,
15 except that nothing shall be construed to require a child to
16 attend any particular public or nonpublic school to qualify for
17 the credit under this Section.
18     "Custodian" means, with respect to qualifying pupils, an
19 Illinois resident who is a parent, the parents, a legal
20 guardian, or the legal guardians of the qualifying pupils.

1 continues to discharge under an expired permit pending
2 renewal), and (ii) in the amounts set forth in subsection (f)
3 of this Section for all activities that require a permit under

5 domestic sewage sludge generator or user permit.
6     Each person subject to this Section must remit the
7 applicable annual fee to the Agency in accordance with the
8 requirements set forth in this Section and any rules adopted
9 pursuant to this Section.
10     (b) Within 30 days after the effective date of this
11 Section, and by May 31 of each year thereafter, the Agency
12 shall send a fee notice by mail to each existing permittee
13 subject to a fee under this Section at his or her address of
14 record. The notice shall state the amount of the applicable
15 annual fee and the date by which payment is required.
16     Except as provided in subsection (c) with respect to
17 initial fees under new permits and certain modifications of
18 existing permits, fees payable under this Section for the 12
19 months beginning July 1, 2003 are due by the date specified in
20 the fee notice, which shall be no less than 30 days after the

31 NPDES or sludge permit issued during the months of January
32 through June, the Agency may prorate the initial annual fee
33 payable under this Section.
34     The initial annual fee for discharges or other activity
35 under a general NPDES permit must be remitted to the Agency as
36 part of the application for coverage under that general permit.

 

 

SB2207 Enrolled - 240 - LRB093 15831 RCE 41448 b

1     If a requested modification to an existing NPDES permit
2 causes a change in the applicable fee categories under
3 subsection (e) that results in an increase in the required fee,
4 the permittee must pay to the Agency the amount of the
5 increase, prorated for the number of months remaining before
6 the next July 1, before the modification is granted.
7     (d) Failure to submit the fee required under this Section
