10revised 6-2-22.)
 
11    Section 10. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
12changing Sections 8-11-1, 8-11-1.3, 8-11-1.6, 8-11-1.7,
138-11-16, and 8-11-21 and by adding Section 8-11-24 as follows:
 
14    (65 ILCS 5/8-11-1)  (from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-1)
15    Sec. 8-11-1. Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax
16Act. The corporate authorities of a home rule municipality may
17impose a tax upon all persons engaged in the business of
18selling tangible personal property, other than an item of
19tangible personal property titled or registered with an agency
20of this State's government, at retail in the municipality on
21the gross receipts from these sales made in the course of such
22business. If imposed, the tax shall only be imposed in 1/4%
23increments. On and after September 1, 1991, this additional
24tax may not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed at

 

 

HB4018- 7 -LRB103 31206 AWJ 58106 b

1the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the
20% rate imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
3Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed
4on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is expended
5for airport-related purposes. If a municipality does not have
6an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel
7tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. Each
8municipality must comply with the certification requirements
9for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the
10Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,
11"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
126z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
13fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
14of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
15municipality. The changes made to this Section by this
16amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly are a denial and
17limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection
18(g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
19The tax imposed by a home rule municipality under this Section
20and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident of
21the tax shall be collected and enforced by the State
22Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration that is
23issued by the Department to a retailer under the Retailers'
24Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a
25business that is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
26enacted pursuant to this Section without registering

2resolution or under this Section. The Department shall have
3full power to administer and enforce this Section; to collect
4all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
5penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
6to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account
7of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
8administration of, and compliance with, this Section the
9Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
10have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers
11and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
12restrictions, limitations, penalties and definitions of terms,
13and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
14Sections 1, 1a, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-65
15(in respect to all provisions therein other than the State
16rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
17penalties collected, and except that the retailer's discount
18is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject
19to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
20U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j,
215k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the
22Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
23Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
24set forth herein.
25    No tax may be imposed by a home rule municipality under
26this Section unless the municipality also imposes a tax at the

 

 

HB4018- 9 -LRB103 31206 AWJ 58106 b

1same rate under Section 8-11-5 of this Act.
2    Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
3granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
4seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating that
5tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
6combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
7are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
8bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
