Article 5.

 
6    Section 5-5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
7Section 9 as follows:
 
8    (35 ILCS 105/9)  (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
9    Sec. 9. Returns; distribution of proceeds.
10    (a) Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and
11trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of
12this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
13the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
14amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
15when he is required to file his return for the period during
16which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
17January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
18per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
19reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
20tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
21the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. The
22discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25%
23portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the

 

 

SB0104- 20 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
247133. In the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
3transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this Section,
4such discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance
5instead of when such retailer files his periodic return. The
6discount allowed under this Section is allowed only for
7returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act. The
8Department may disallow the discount for retailers whose
9certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return
10is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the
11certificate of registration has become final. A retailer need
12not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
13that he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by
14the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of
15the same property.
16    (b) Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
17conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
18wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
19extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
20filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
21vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
22to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
23each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
24the selling price actually received during such tax return
25period.
26    (c) Except as provided in this Section, on or before the

 

 

SB0104- 21 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
2a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall
3be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall
4furnish such information as the Department may reasonably
5require. On and after January 1, 2018, except for returns for
6motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are
7required to be registered with an agency of this State, with
8respect to retailers whose annual gross receipts average
9$20,000 or more, all returns required to be filed pursuant to
10this Act shall be filed electronically. Retailers who
11demonstrate that they do not have access to the Internet or
12demonstrate hardship in filing electronically may petition the
13Department to waive the electronic filing requirement.
14    The Department may require returns to be filed on a
15quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
16quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
17calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
18taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
19of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
20the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
21        1. The name of the seller;
22        2. The address of the principal place of business from
23    which he engages in the business of selling tangible
24    personal property at retail in this State;
25        3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
26    him during the preceding calendar month from sales of

 

 

SB0104- 22 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1    tangible personal property by him during such preceding
2    calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
3    sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
4        4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
5    Act;
6        5. The amount of tax due;
7        5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
8        6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
9    may require.
10    (d) Each retailer required or authorized to collect the
11tax imposed by this Act on aviation fuel sold at retail in this
12State during the preceding calendar month shall, instead of
13reporting and paying tax on aviation fuel as otherwise
14required by this Section, report and pay such tax on a separate
15aviation fuel tax return. The requirements related to the
16return shall be as otherwise provided in this Section.
17Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the
18contrary, retailers collecting tax on aviation fuel shall file
19all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all aviation fuel
20tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form
21required by the Department. For purposes of this Section,
22"aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation gasoline.
23    (e) If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days
24after the proper notice and demand for signature by the
25Department, the return shall be considered valid and any
26amount shown to be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.

1    (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
2contrary, retailers subject to tax on cannabis shall file all

162000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000 or
17more shall make all payments required by rules of the
18Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "annual tax
19liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
20under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
21and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
22immediately preceding calendar year. The term "average monthly
23tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities

13    All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
14transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
15payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
16payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
17    The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
18effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
19requirements of this Section.
20    (h) Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average
21monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act, the
22Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act,
23the Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the
24preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
25with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month

1incurred and shall make payments to the Department on or
2before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
3which such liability is incurred. On and after October 1,
42000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
5Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
6the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was
7$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
8quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
9month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
10during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
11payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
12last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
13If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
14prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
15equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
16or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
17average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
18for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
19month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
20in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
21liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and
22prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
23equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
24month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same

SB0104- 26 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
2shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
3liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
4for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
5during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
6January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
7after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
8to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
925% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
10the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
11liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
12prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
13equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
14month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
15month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
16liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
17of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
18final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
19Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
20the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
21continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
22the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
23quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
24month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
25taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
26computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete

 

 

SB0104- 27 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

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

 

 

SB0104- 28 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
2on the difference between the minimum amount due and the
3amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
4paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
5payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
6minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
7The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
8govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
9payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
10monthly basis.
11    (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the
12taxpayer is engaged in business in the industry identified
13under Subsector 722 of the North American Industry
14Classification System (NAICS) entitled "Food Services and
15Drinking Places" (i.e., businesses with a NAICS Code of 722),
16then, beginning on February 1, 2021 and continuing through
17December 31, 2021, the obligation to make payments on or
18before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month as
19provided in subsection (h) shall be suspended, and the
20taxpayer may choose instead to make payments on or before the
2120th day of each calendar month as provided in subsection (c).
22    (j) If any such payment provided for in this Section
23exceeds the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the
24Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
25and the Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly
26return, the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit

 

 

SB0104- 29 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment,
2which memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the
3Department in payment of tax liability subsequently to be
4remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
5the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
6Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
7or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
8rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Department,
9except that if such excess payment is shown on an original
10monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
11memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
12If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess
13payment against tax liability subsequently to be remitted by
14the taxpayer to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
15Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
16Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
17regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
18subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
19taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
202.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or
211.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
22actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
23and interest on such difference.
24    (k) If the retailer is otherwise required to file a
25monthly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
26liability to the Department does not exceed $200, the

 

 

SB0104- 30 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1Department may authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter
2annual basis, with the return for January, February, and March
3of a given year being due by April 20 of such year; with the

6September of a given year being due by October 20 of such year,
7and with the return for October, November and December of a
8given year being due by January 20 of the following year.
9    (l) If the retailer is otherwise required to file a
10monthly or quarterly return and if the retailer's average
11monthly tax liability to the Department does not exceed $50,
12the Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an
13annual basis, with the return for a given year being due by
14January 20 of the following year.
15    (m) Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
16substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
17monthly returns.
18    (n) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
19concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
20return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
21kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
22returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
23return under this Act with the Department not more than one
24month after discontinuing such business.
25    (o) In addition, with respect to motor vehicles,
26watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be

 

 

SB0104- 31 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1registered with an agency of this State, except as otherwise
2provided in this Section, every retailer selling this kind of
3tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
4upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
5separate return for each such item of tangible personal
6property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
7transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
8vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
9watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
10watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
11of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
12vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
13watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use
14as a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of
15this Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
16aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
17that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
18invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
19this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
20watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
21and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
22with an inboard motor.
23    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
24aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
25an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
26business of leasing or renting such items and who, in

1connection with such business, sells any such item to a
2retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
3other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
4meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
5the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
6or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
7Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting

9month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
10other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
11under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
12manner and form as required by the Department.
13    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
14vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
15an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
16Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
17Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
18the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
19selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
20traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
21for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
22extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for

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

22sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
23such other information as the Department may reasonably
24require.
25    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
26than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is

 

 

SB0104- 34 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
2than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
3return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
4that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
5Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
6officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
7titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
8if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
9that this procedure will expedite the processing of
10applications for title or registration.
11    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
12shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
13satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
14the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
15Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
16(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
17that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
18may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
19whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
20that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
21support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
22certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
23tangible personal property.
24    (p) No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under
25this Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
26retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other

 

 

SB0104- 35 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
2is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
3paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
4Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
5mandate of this paragraph.
6    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
7wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
8of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
9retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
10paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
11of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
12being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
13the information required by the transaction reporting return
14and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
15the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
16determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
17and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
18credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account

13of the following year.
14    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
15substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
16monthly returns.
17    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
18the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
19case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
20which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
21such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
22Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
23business.
24    Where the same person has more than one business
25registered with the Department under separate registrations
26under this Act, such person may not file each return that is

 

 

SB0104- 62 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

2businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
3registered business.
4    (h) In addition, with respect to motor vehicles,
5watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be

18    Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
19aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
20an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
21liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
22transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
23required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
24monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
25be required to file returns on an annual basis.
26    The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor

 

 

SB0104- 64 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

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

 

 

SB0104- 65 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

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

 

 

SB0104- 66 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

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

 

 

SB0104- 67 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

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

 

 

SB0104- 68 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

1    (i) Except as provided in this Section, the retailer
2filing the return under this Section shall, at the time of
3filing such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
4imposed by this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
51990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
6year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
7retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
8preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
9data to the Department on request. The discount under this
10Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on
11aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use requirements
12of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made
13pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
14amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the
15case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
16by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
17discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
18of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount
19allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that
20are filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department
21may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
22registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
23only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
24registration has become final.
25    (j) Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average
26monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act, the

2Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to
3be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
4$10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
5quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
6month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
7during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
8payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
9last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
10On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average
11monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act, the
12Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service

1Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
2the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
3taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
4or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
5continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
6the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
7quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
8month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
9taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
10computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
11calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
12taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
13the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
14to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
15reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
16threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
17Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
18On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement
19of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
20taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000
21or more as determined in the manner provided above shall

SB0104- 72 -LRB102 15482 HLH 20845 b

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

4required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
5Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
6month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
7during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
8September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
9each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
10taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
11during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
12January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to

24requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
25Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until

2If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
3in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
4penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as
5the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
6excess of the minimum payments previously due.
7    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
8October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
9required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
10any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
11collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
12taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the
13preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
14with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
15payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and

18taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
19taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
20preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
21shall be credited against the final tax liability of the

24requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
25Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the

3than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
4liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
5quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
6than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
7at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
8liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
9insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
10month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
11    (k) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the
12taxpayer is engaged in business in the industry identified
13under Subsector 722 of the North American Industry
14Classification System (NAICS) entitled "Food Services and
15Drinking Places" (i.e., businesses with a NAICS Code of 722),
16then, beginning on February 1, 2021 and continuing through
17December 31, 2021, the obligation to make payments on or
18before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month as
19provided in subsection (j) shall be suspended, and the
20taxpayer may choose instead to make payments on or before the
2120th day of each calendar month as provided in subsection (a).
22    (l) If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds
23the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act,

3the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
4Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,

6prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
7taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
8subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
9the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
10Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
11regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
12subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
13taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
142.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or
151.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
16actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
17and interest on such difference.
18    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under

19payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
20impose this requirement when it finds that there is a

22exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
