7     Sec. 6z-18. A portion of the money paid into the Local
8 Government Tax Fund from sales of food for human consumption
9 which is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold

24 distributed to municipalities as provided in this paragraph.
25 Each municipality shall receive the amount attributable to

3 and through December 31, 2000 and beginning again on July 1,
4 2006, the 1.25% rate on motor fuel and gasohol) on sales

10 certification to the municipalities and counties, provided for
11 in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by the
12 Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn
13 for the respective amounts in accordance with the directions
14 contained in such certification.
15     When certifying the amount of monthly disbursement to a
16 municipality or county under this Section, the Department shall

18 offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset
19 amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the 6
20 months preceding the time a misallocation is discovered.
21     The provisions directing the distributions from the
22 special fund in the State Treasury provided for in this Section
23 shall constitute an irrevocable and continuing appropriation

33     (35 ILCS 105/3-10)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
34     Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this

 

 

SB3184 - 7 - LRB094 20437 BDD 58632 b

1 Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
2 either the selling price or the fair market value, if any, of
3 the tangible personal property. In all cases where property
4 functionally used or consumed is the same as the property that
5 was purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the selling
6 price of the property. In all cases where property functionally
7 used or consumed is a by-product or waste product that has been
8 refined, manufactured, or produced from property purchased at
9 retail, then the tax is imposed on the lower of the fair market
10 value, if any, of the specific property so used in this State
11 or on the selling price of the property purchased at retail.
12 For purposes of this Section "fair market value" means the
13 price at which property would change hands between a willing
14 buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion
15 to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the
16 relevant facts. The fair market value shall be established by
17 Illinois sales by the taxpayer of the same property as that
18 functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such sales by
19 the taxpayer, then comparable sales or purchases of property of
20 like kind and character in Illinois.
21     Beginning on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000 and
22 beginning again July 1, 2006, with respect to motor fuel, as
23 defined in Section 1.1 of the Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol,
24 as defined in Section 3-40 of the Use Tax Act, the tax is
25 imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
26     With respect to gasohol, the tax imposed by this Act
27 applies to (i) 70% of the proceeds of sales made on or after

29 proceeds of sales made on or after July 1, 2003 and on or
30 before December 31, 2013, and (iii) 100% of the proceeds of
31 sales made thereafter. If, at any time, however, the tax under
32 this Act on sales of gasohol is imposed at the rate of 1.25%,
33 then the tax imposed by this Act applies to 100% of the
34 proceeds of sales of gasohol made during that time.
35     With respect to majority blended ethanol fuel, the tax
36 imposed by this Act does not apply to the proceeds of sales

 

 

SB3184 - 8 - LRB094 20437 BDD 58632 b

3 thereafter.
4     With respect to biodiesel blends with no less than 1% and
5 no more than 10% biodiesel, the tax imposed by this Act applies

7 2003 and on or before December 31, 2013 and (ii) 100% of the
8 proceeds of sales made thereafter. If, at any time, however,
9 the tax under this Act on sales of biodiesel blends with no
10 less than 1% and no more than 10% biodiesel is imposed at the
11 rate of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by this Act applies to 100%
12 of the proceeds of sales of biodiesel blends with no less than
13 1% and no more than 10% biodiesel made during that time.
14     With respect to 100% biodiesel and biodiesel blends with
15 more than 10% but no more than 99% biodiesel, the tax imposed
16 by this Act does not apply to the proceeds of sales made on or
17 after July 1, 2003 and on or before December 31, 2013 but
18 applies to 100% of the proceeds of sales made thereafter.
19     With respect to food for human consumption that is to be
20 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
21 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been
22 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
23 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances,
24 modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
25 it usable by a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
26 materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
27 use, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For the purposes of
28 this Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete,

4 human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where
5 it is sold" includes all food sold through a vending machine,
6 except soft drinks and food products that are dispensed hot
7 from a vending machine, regardless of the location of the
8 vending machine.
9     If the property that is purchased at retail from a retailer
10 is acquired outside Illinois and used outside Illinois before
11 being brought to Illinois for use here and is taxable under
12 this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax is computed
13 shall be reduced by an amount that represents a reasonable
14 allowance for depreciation for the period of prior out-of-state
15 use.
16 (Source: P.A. 93-17, eff. 6-11-03.)
 
17     Section 15. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by changing

21 Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
22 the selling price of tangible personal property transferred as
23 an incident to the sale of service, but, for the purpose of
24 computing this tax, in no event shall the selling price be less

2 the sale of service on or after July 1, 2003 and on or before
3 December 31, 2013, and (iii) 100% of the selling price
4 thereafter. If, at any time, however, the tax under this Act on
