15 another State in respect to the sale, purchase, or use of that
16 property, to the extent of the amount of the tax properly due
17 and paid in the other State.
18     (e) The temporary storage, in this State, of tangible
19 personal property that is acquired outside this State and that,
20 after being brought into this State and stored here
21 temporarily, is used solely outside this State or is physically
22 attached to or incorporated into other tangible personal
23 property that is used solely outside this State, or is altered

1     (h-1) The exemption under subsection (h) does not apply if

16 of Illinois of tax in an amount equivalent to the state's rate
17 of tax on taxable property in his or her state of residence and
18 shall submit the statement to the appropriate tax collection
19 agency in his or her state of residence. In addition, the
20 retailer must retain a signed copy of the statement in his or
21 her records. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to
22 require the removal of the vehicle from this state following
23 the filing of an intent to title the vehicle in the purchaser's
24 state of residence if the purchaser titles the vehicle in his
25 or her state of residence within 30 days after the date of
26 sale. The tax collected under this Act in accordance with this

 

 

SB0455 Engrossed - 5 - LRB095 03744 BDD 23773 b
