10     Section 10. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section
11 9 as follows:
 
12     (35 ILCS 105/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
13     Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
14 and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
15 of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
16 the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
17 amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
18 when he is required to file his return for the period during
19 which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
20 January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
21 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
22 reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
23 tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
24 the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. In the

 

 

HB4124 - 5 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
2 by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
3 discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
4 of when such retailer files his periodic return. A retailer
5 need not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the
6 extent that he is required to remit and does remit the tax
7 imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to
8 the sale of the same property.
9     Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
10 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
11 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
12 extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
13 filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
14 vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
15 to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
16 each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
17 the selling price actually received during such tax return
18 period.
19     Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
20 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
21 a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
22 filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
23 such information as the Department may reasonably require.
24     The Department may require returns to be filed on a
25 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
26 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the

 

 

HB4124 - 6 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
2 taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
3 of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
4 the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
5         1. The name of the seller;
6         2. The address of the principal place of business from
7     which he engages in the business of selling tangible
8     personal property at retail in this State;
9         3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
10     during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
11     personal property by him during such preceding calendar
12     month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
13     less all deductions allowed by law;
14         4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
15     Act;
16         5. The amount of tax due;
17         5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
18         6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
19     may require.
20     If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
21 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
22 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
23 due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
24     Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
25 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
26 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic

 

 

HB4124 - 7 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
2 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
3 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
4 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
5 an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
6 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
7 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
8 an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
9 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
10 funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
11 sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
12 other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
13 by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
14 The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
15 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
16 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
17 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
18 divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
19 a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
20 Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
21 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
22 funds transfer.
23     Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
24 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
25 by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
26 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments

 

 

HB4124 - 8 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
2     Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
3 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
4 with the permission of the Department.
5     All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
6 transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
7 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
8 in the manner authorized by the Department.
9     The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
10 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
11 requirements of this Section.
12     Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
13 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
14 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service
15 Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
16 calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
17 each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
18 month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
19 make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
20 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
21 incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
22 average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
23 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
24 Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
25 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
26 with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month

 

 

HB4124 - 9 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 10 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
2 such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
3 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
4 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
5 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
6 calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
7 actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
8 amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
9 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
10 that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
11 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
12 Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
13 monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
14 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
15 liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
16 $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
17 the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
18 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
19 $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
20 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
21 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
22 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
23 will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
24 taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
25 taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
26 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly

 

 

HB4124 - 11 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 12 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 13 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
2 liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
3     If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
4 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
5 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
6 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
7 with the return for January, February, and March of a given
8 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
9 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
10 year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
11 year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
12 for October, November and December of a given year being due by
13 January 20 of the following year.
14     If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
15 quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
16 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
17 may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
18 the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
19 following year.
20     Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
21 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
22 returns.
23     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
24 the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
25 case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
26 which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,

 

 

HB4124 - 14 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
2 Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
3 business.
4     In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
5 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
6 an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
7 tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
8 upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
9 separate return for each such item of tangible personal
10 property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
11 transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
12 vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
13 watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
14 watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
15 of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
16 vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
17 watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
18 a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
19 Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
20 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
21 that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
22 invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
23 this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
24 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
25 and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
26 with an inboard motor.

 

 

HB4124 - 15 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 16 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 17 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 18 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
2 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
3 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
4 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
5 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
6 with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
7 provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
8 the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
9 same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
10 if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
11     Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
12 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
13 the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
14 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
15 the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
16 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
17 his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
18 purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
19 refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
20 such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
21 Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
22 to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
23 such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
24 amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
25 deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
26 purchaser.

 

 

HB4124 - 19 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1     Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
2 include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
3 covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
4 personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
5 but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
6 from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
7 remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
8 return.
9     If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
10 Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
11 return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
12 returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
13 Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
14 Acts on the one form.
15     Where the retailer has more than one business registered
16 with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
17 such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
18 return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
19 separate returns for each such registered business.
20     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
21 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
22 fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net
23 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on
24 sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed off
25 the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
26 soft drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate

 

 

HB4124 - 20 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 consumption) and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
2 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
3 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
4     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
5 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the
6 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
7 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal property
8 which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer
9 and which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
10 government.
11     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
12 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
13 fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue realized for
14 the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling
15 price of tangible personal property, other than tangible
16 personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail
17 from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency
18 of this State's government.
19     Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
20 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the
21 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
22 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
23     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
24 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue
25 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on
26 the selling price of tangible personal property which is

 

 

HB4124 - 21 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and which
2 is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
3 government.
4     Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
5 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
6 Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
7 and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
8 Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
9 year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
10 may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required
11 to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to Section 3
12 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax
13 Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the
14 Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called
15 the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
16 may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act
17 Amount", and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
18 Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be
19 less than the Annual Specified Amount (as defined in Section 3
20 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), an amount equal to the
21 difference shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois
22 Fund from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to
23 the Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the last
24 business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount
25 required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account
26 in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the amount

 

 

HB4124 - 22 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 transferred during such month to the Build Illinois Fund from
2 the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less
3 than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to
4 the difference shall be immediately paid into the Build
5 Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the Department
6 pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided, that in no
7 event shall the payments required under the preceding proviso
8 result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund
9 pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of
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
19 principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
20 secured by such indenture and on any Bonds expected to be
21 issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable with respect
22 thereto, all as certified by the Director of the Bureau of the
23 Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget). If on
24 the last business day of any month in which Bonds are
25 outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the
26 aggregate of the moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond

 

 

HB4124 - 23 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less
2 than the amount required to be transferred in such month from
3 the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
4 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
5 Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
6 shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
7 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois Fund;
8 provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build Illinois
9 Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
10 deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the
11 preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount otherwise
12 payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b) of the
13 preceding sentence. The moneys received by the Department
14 pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the
15 Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and charge
16 set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond Act.
17     Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
18 as provided in the preceding paragraph or in any amendment
19 thereto hereafter enacted, the following specified monthly
20 installment of the amount requested in the annual certificate
21 of the Chairman of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition

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.

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

 

 

HB4124 - 27 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 6.25% general rate on the selling price of Illinois-mined coal
2 that was sold to an eligible business. For purposes of this
3 paragraph, the term "eligible business" means a new electric
4 generating facility certified pursuant to Section 605-332 of
5 the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law of the
6 Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
7     Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
8 pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the State

18 for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
19 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.

22 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for

6     Section 15. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by changing
7 Section 9 as follows:
 
8     (35 ILCS 110/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
9     Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
10 the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
11 of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
12 is required to file his return for the period during which such
13 tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
14 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
15 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
16 serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping
17 records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and
18 supplying data to the Department on request. A serviceman need
19 not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
20 that he is required to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the
21 Service Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of service
22 involving the incidental transfer by him of the same property.
23     Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
24 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such

 

 

HB4124 - 29 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month
2 in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to be
3 promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed on a
4 form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
5 information as the Department may reasonably require.
6     The Department may require returns to be filed on a
7 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
8 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
9 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
10 taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
11 of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
12 the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
13         1. The name of the seller;
14         2. The address of the principal place of business from
15     which he engages in business as a serviceman in this State;
16         3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
17     during the preceding calendar month, including receipts
18     from charge and time sales, but less all deductions allowed
19     by law;
20         4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
21     Act;
22         5. The amount of tax due;
23         5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
24         6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
25     may require.
26     If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after

 

 

HB4124 - 30 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
2 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
3 due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
4     Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
5 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
6 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
7 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
8 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
9 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
10 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
11 an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
12 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
13 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
14 an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
15 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
16 funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
17 sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
18 other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
19 by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
20 The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
21 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
22 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
23 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
24 divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
25 a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
26 Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make

 

 

HB4124 - 31 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
2 funds transfer.
3     Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
4 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
5 by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
6 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
7 for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
8     Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
9 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
10 with the permission of the Department.
11     All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
12 transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
13 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
14 in the manner authorized by the Department.
15     The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
16 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
17 requirements of this Section.
18     If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
19 return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
20 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
21 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
22 with the return for January, February and March of a given year
23 being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
24 May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
25 with the return for July, August and September of a given year
26 being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for

 

 

HB4124 - 32 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 October, November and December of a given year being due by
2 January 20 of the following year.
3     If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
4 or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax
5 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
6 may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
7 the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
8 following year.
9     Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
10 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
11 returns.
12     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
13 the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
14 case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
15 business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
16 this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
17 Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
18 discontinuing such business.
19     Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
20 selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
21 thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
22 selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
23 also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
24 purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
25 refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
26 the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from

 

 

HB4124 - 33 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
2 occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
3 to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
4 provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall
5 previously have been remitted to the Department by such
6 serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
7 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall be
8 entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to
9 the purchaser.
10     Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also include
11 the total tax upon the selling price of tangible personal
12 property purchased for use by him as an incident to a sale of
13 service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of such tax
14 to the Department when filing such return.
15     If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
16 Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
17 return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
18 returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
19 Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
20 Acts on the one form.
21     Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
22 with the Department under separate registration hereunder,
23 such serviceman shall not file each return that is due as a
24 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
25 shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
26     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

 

 

HB4124 - 34 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special fund in
2 the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for the preceding
3 month from the 1% tax on sales of food for human consumption
4 which is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold
5 (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which has
6 been prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
7 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
8 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used by
9 diabetics.
10     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
11 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 20% of the
12 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
13 general rate on transfers of tangible personal property, other

6 this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
7 Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
8 discontinuing such business.

23     Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
24 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and

26 property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof

 

 

HB4124 - 47 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
2 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing

5 refunded by him to the purchaser from any other Service
6 Occupation Tax, Service Use Tax, Retailers' Occupation Tax or
7 Use Tax which such serviceman may be required to pay or remit
8 to the Department, as shown by such return, provided that the
9 amount of the tax to be deducted shall previously have been
10 remitted to the Department by such serviceman. If the
11 serviceman shall not previously have remitted the amount of
12 such tax to the Department, he shall be entitled to no
13 deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
14     If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
15 Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
16 return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
17 returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
18 Act, the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, to furnish all
19 the return information required by all said Acts on the one
20 form.

23 such serviceman shall file separate returns for each registered
24 business.

8 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
9 Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement

11 income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
12 reported in the Federal income tax return do not agree with the
13 gross receipts reported to the Department of Revenue for the
14 same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his annual return a
15 schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
16 reasons for the difference. The taxpayer's annual return to the
17 Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by the
18 taxpayer during the year covered by such return, opening and
19 closing inventories of such goods for such year, cost of goods
20 used from stock or taken from stock and given away by the
21 taxpayer during such year, pay roll information of the

25 or annual returns filed by such taxpayer as hereinbefore
26 provided for in this Section.

4         (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be liable
5     for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such
6     taxpayer under this Act during the period to be covered by
7     the annual return for each month or fraction of a month
8     until such return is filed as required, the penalty to be
9     assessed and collected in the same manner as any other
10     penalty provided for in this Act.
11         (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
12     be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
13     Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
14     The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest

18 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
19 accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
20 Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
21 return may be liable for perjury.
22     The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the filing
23 of an annual information return shall not apply to a serviceman
24 who is not required to file an income tax return with the
25 United States Government.

2 shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
3 the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
4 equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
5 for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
6 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
7     Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
8 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
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
13 products are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois, and who
14 wish to do so, to assume the responsibility for accounting and
15 paying to the Department all tax accruing under this Act with
16 respect to such sales, if the servicemen who are affected do

11 The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of
12 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other

7 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
8 requirements of this Section.
9     Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any
10 return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
11 is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest
12 whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a
13 dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest
14 whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is
15 less than 50 cents.
16     If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
17 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
18 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
19 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
20 with the return for January, February and March of a given year
21 being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
22 May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
23 with the return for July, August and September of a given year
24 being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
25 October, November and December of a given year being due by
26 January 20 of the following year.

1     If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
2 quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
3 liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
4 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
5 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
6 of the following year.
7     Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
8 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
9 returns.
10     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
11 the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
12 case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
13 which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
14 such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
15 Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
16 business.
17     Where the same person has more than one business registered
18 with the Department under separate registrations under this
19 Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
20 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
21 shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
22     In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
23 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
24 an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
25 tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
26 upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a

 

 

HB4124 - 66 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 67 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

22     The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
23 or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
24 name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
25 price including the amount allowed by the retailer for

4 deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;

9 claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
10 sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
11 information as the Department may reasonably require.
12     Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
13 than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
14 being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
15 than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
16 return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
17 Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
18 the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
19 tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
20 titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
21 agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
22 expedite the processing of applications for title or
23 registration.
24     With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
25 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
26 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is

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

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

1     Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
2 return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
3 return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
4 Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
5 on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
6 whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
7 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
8 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
9 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
10 to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
11 which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
12 retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
13 transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
14 shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
15 such retailer files his periodic return.
16     Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
17 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
18 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
19 Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
20 remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
21 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
22 shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
23 day of the month next following the month during which such tax
24 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
25 on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
26 during which such liability is incurred. On and after October

 

 

HB4124 - 72 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
2 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
3 Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
4 liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
5 with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
6 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
7 with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
8 next following the month during which such tax liability is
9 incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
10 the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
11 liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
12 liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
13 payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
14 actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
15 Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
16 of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
17 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
18 the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
19 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
20 after January 1, 1985 and prior to 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 27.5% of the taxpayer's
23 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
24 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
25 or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
26 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's

 

 

HB4124 - 73 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 74 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1 calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
2 taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
3 the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
4 to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
5 reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
6 threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
7 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
8 and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
9 the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
10 taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
11 more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
12 until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
13 Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
14 (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
15 lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
16 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
17 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
18 quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
19 show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
20 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
21 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
22 foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
23 above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
24 change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
25 shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
26 that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be

1 long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
2 the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
3 taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
4 difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
5 amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
6 paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
7 payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
8 minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
9 The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
10 govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
11 payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
12 monthly basis.
13     The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
14 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
15 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
16 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
17 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
18 excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
19 calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
20 required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
21 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
22 month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
23 during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to the
24 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment
25 shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's
26 actual liability under Section 2d. If the month during which

 

 

HB4124 - 76 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 77 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

 

 

HB4124 - 78 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

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

1 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
2     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
3 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the
4 State treasury which is hereby created, the net revenue
5 realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of
6 food for human consumption which is to be consumed off the
7 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft

9 consumption) and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
10 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
11 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
12     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

14 fund in the State treasury which is hereby created, 4% of the
15 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
16 general rate.
17     Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
18 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the
19 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
20 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
21     Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

5 Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
6 and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
7 Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
8 year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
9 may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required

13 month shall be less than the amount required to be transferred
14 in such month from the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build
15 Illinois Bond Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section

2 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
3 Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
4 of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last Federal
5 income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
6 reported in the Federal income tax return do not agree with the
7 gross receipts reported to the Department of Revenue for the
8 same period, the retailer shall attach to his annual return a
9 schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
10 reasons for the difference. The retailer's annual return to the

5         (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
6     be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
7     Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
8     The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
9 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
10 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
11 willfully signs the annual return containing false or
12 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
13 accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
14 Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
15 return may be liable for perjury.
16     The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an
17 annual information return do not apply to a retailer who is not
18 required to file an income tax return with the United States
19 Government.
20     As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon
21 certification of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller
22 shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
23 the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
24 equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act

26 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.

 

 

HB4124 - 89 - LRB095 12779 BDD 38158 b

1     Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
2 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
3 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
4 overpayment of liability.
5     For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
6 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
7 Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
8 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
9 Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to such
10 sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make written
11 objection to the Department to this arrangement.
12     Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail
13 selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers at
14 the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,

8 Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
9 the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
10 payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
11 impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
12 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
13 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
14 that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
15 who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
16 business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
17 exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of
18 loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall notify
19 concessionaires and other sellers affected by the imposition of
20 this requirement. In the absence of notification by the
21 Department, the concessionaires and other sellers shall file

7 advance refund bonds and notes issued under this Section or
8 issued to refund or advance refund bonds and notes otherwise
9 issued under this Act, (collectively referred to as "bonds") to

25 authorize the issuance of additional bonds (except refunding
26 bonds).
