6 | persons engaged in
the business of operating a restaurant, | ||||||
7 | cafeteria, or drive-in is a sale for
resale when it is | ||||||

engages) in selling tangible personal | ||||||
13 | property at retail is a retailer
hereunder with respect to such | ||||||

occupation) | ||||||
15 | notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
| ||||||
16 | such tangible personal property on special order for the | ||||||
17 | purchaser and in
such a way as to render the property of value | ||||||
18 | only to such purchaser, if
such tangible personal property so | ||||||
19 | produced on special order serves
substantially the same | ||||||
20 | function as stock or standard items of tangible
personal | ||||||
21 | property that are sold at retail.
| ||||||
22 | A person whose activities are organized and conducted | ||||||
23 | primarily as a
not-for-profit service enterprise, and who | ||||||
24 | engages in selling tangible
personal property at retail | ||||||
25 | (whether to the public or merely to members and
their guests) | ||||||
26 | is a retailer with respect to such transactions, excepting
only |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a person organized and operated exclusively for charitable, | ||||||
2 | religious

3 | sales by such person

| ||||||

26 | property at retail
by a person who does not hold himself out as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | being engaged (or who does not
habitually engage) in selling | ||||||
2 | such tangible personal property at retail or
a sale through a | ||||||
3 | bulk vending machine does not make such person a retailer
| ||||||
4 | hereunder. However, any person who is engaged in a business | ||||||
5 | which is not
subject to the tax imposed by the "Retailers' | ||||||
6 | Occupation Tax Act" because
of involving the sale of or a | ||||||
7 | contract to sell real estate or a
construction contract to | ||||||
8 | improve real estate, but who, in the course of
conducting such | ||||||
9 | business, transfers tangible personal property to users or
| ||||||
10 | consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and | ||||||
11 | which does

12 | construction contract or
real estate sale or real estate sales | ||||||
13 | agreement entered into with some
other person arising out of or | ||||||
14 | because of such nontaxable business, is a
retailer to the | ||||||
15 | extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
| ||||||
16 | transferred. If, in such transaction, a separate charge is made | ||||||
17 | for the
tangible personal property so transferred, the value of | ||||||
18 | such property, for
the purposes of this Act, is the amount so | ||||||
19 | separately charged, but not less
than the cost of such property | ||||||
20 | to the transferor; if no separate charge is
made, the value of | ||||||
21 | such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost
to the | ||||||
22 | transferor of such tangible personal property.

purpose, slag produced as | ||||||
20 | an incident to manufacturing pig iron or steel
and sold is | ||||||
21 | considered to be an intentionally produced byproduct of

|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
| ||||||

| ||||||
7 | The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal | ||||||
8 | property at retail
by a person who does not hold himself out as | ||||||
9 | being engaged (or who does not
habitually engage) in selling | ||||||
10 | such tangible personal property at retail, or
a sale through a | ||||||
11 | bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
| ||||||
12 | business of selling such tangible personal property at retail | ||||||
13 | within the
meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is | ||||||
14 | engaged in a business
which is not subject to the tax imposed | ||||||
15 | by this Act because of involving
the sale of or a contract to | ||||||
16 | sell real estate or a construction contract to
improve real | ||||||
17 | estate or a construction contract to engineer, install, and
| ||||||
18 | maintain an integrated system of products, but who, in the | ||||||
19 | course of
conducting such business,
transfers tangible | ||||||
20 | personal property to users or consumers in the finished
form in | ||||||
21 | which it was purchased, and which does not become real estate | ||||||
22 | or was
not engineered and installed, under any provision of a | ||||||
23 | construction contract or
real estate sale or real estate sales | ||||||
24 | agreement entered into with some other
person arising out of or | ||||||
25 | because of such nontaxable business, is engaged in the
business | ||||||
26 | of selling tangible personal property at retail to the extent |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the
value of the tangible personal property so transferred. | ||||||
2 | If, in such a
transaction, a separate charge is made for the | ||||||
3 | tangible personal property so
transferred, the value of such | ||||||
4 | property, for the purpose of this Act, shall be
the amount so | ||||||
5 | separately charged, but not less than the cost of such property
| ||||||
6 | to the transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of | ||||||
7 | such property,
for the purposes of this Act, is the cost to the | ||||||
8 | transferor of such tangible
personal property. Construction | ||||||
9 | contracts for the improvement of real estate
consisting of | ||||||
10 | engineering, installation, and maintenance of voice, data, | ||||||
11 | video,
security, and all telecommunication systems do not | ||||||
12 | constitute engaging in a
business of selling tangible personal | ||||||
13 | property at retail within the meaning of
this Act if they are | ||||||
14 | sold at one specified contract price.
| ||||||
15 | A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged | ||||||

engages) in selling tangible personal | ||||||
17 | property at retail is a person
engaged in the business of | ||||||
18 | selling tangible personal property at retail
hereunder with | ||||||
19 | respect to such sales (and not primarily in a service
| ||||||
20 | occupation) notwithstanding the fact that such person designs | ||||||
21 | and produces
such tangible personal property on special order | ||||||
22 | for the purchaser and in
such a way as to render the property | ||||||
23 | of value only to such purchaser, if
such tangible personal | ||||||
24 | property so produced on special order serves
substantially the | ||||||
25 | same function as stock or standard items of tangible
personal | ||||||
26 | property that are sold at retail.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Persons who engage in the business of transferring tangible | ||||||
2 | personal
property upon the redemption of trading stamps are | ||||||
3 | engaged in the business
of selling such property at retail and | ||||||
4 | shall be liable for and shall pay
the tax imposed by this Act | ||||||
5 | on the basis of the retail value of the
property transferred | ||||||
6 | upon redemption of such stamps.
| ||||||
7 | "Bulk vending machine" means a vending machine,
containing | ||||||
8 | unsorted confections, nuts, toys, or other items designed
| ||||||

| ||||||
11 | inserted, are dispensed in equal portions, at random and
| ||||||
12 | without selection by the customer.
