| 7 | | Sec. 6. Returns and payments.
| 8 | | (a) Due Dates. The Illinois transfer

| | | 09900HB3211sam001 | - 2 - | LRB099 09671 JLK 35608 a |
|
| 1 | | determined by multiplying the Illinois transfer tax by a | 2 | | fraction, the
numerator of which is the gross value of the | 3 | | assets included in the
transferred property having a tax situs | 4 | | in this State and which give rise
to the deferred or | 5 | | installment payment under
the Internal Revenue Code, and the | 6 | | denominator of which is the gross value
of all assets included | 7 | | in the transferred property having a tax situs in
this State. | 8 | | Deferred payments and installment payments, with interest,
| 9 | | shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as | 10 | | payments of the
federal transfer tax are required to be made | 11 | | under the applicable Sections
of the Internal Revenue Code, | 12 | | provided that the rate of interest on unpaid
amounts of | 13 | | Illinois transfer tax shall be determined under this Act.
| 14 | | Acceleration of payment under this Section shall occur under | 15 | | the same
circumstances and in the same manner as provided in | 16 | | the Internal Revenue Code.
| 17 | | (c) Who shall file and pay. The Illinois transfer tax | 18 | | return (including
any supplemental or amended return) shall be | 19 | | filed, and the Illinois
transfer tax (including any additional | 20 | | tax that may become due) shall be
paid by the same person or | 21 | | persons, respectively, who are required to pay
the federal | 22 | | transfer tax and file the federal return,
or
who would have | 23 | | been required to pay a federal transfer tax and file a
federal | 24 | | return if
a federal transfer tax were due.
| 25 | | (d) Where to file return. The executed Illinois transfer | 26 | | tax return
shall be filed with the Attorney General. In |
