Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

35 ILCS 115/3-40

    (35 ILCS 115/3-40) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-40)
    Sec. 3-40. Collection. The tax imposed by this Act shall be paid to the Department by any serviceman transferring tangible personal property as an incident to a sale of service taxable under this Act. If a serviceman has paid Service Occupation Tax to his or her supplier based upon the cost price of tangible personal property before January 1, 1990, or in error on or after January 1, 1990, the serviceman, without filing any formal claims with the Department, shall be allowed to take credit against his or her Service Occupation Tax liability based upon the selling price of that property transferred in the course of providing service to the extent of the amount of the tax so paid.
    If any serviceman collects an amount (however designated) that purports to reimburse the serviceman for Service Occupation Tax liability measured by receipts or selling prices that are not subject to Service Occupation Tax, or if any serviceman, in collecting an amount (however designated) that purports to reimburse the serviceman for Service Occupation Tax liability measured by receipts or selling prices that are subject to tax under this Act, collects more from the purchaser than the serviceman's Service Occupation Tax liability in the transaction, the purchaser shall have a legal right to claim a refund of that amount from the serviceman. If, however, that amount is not refunded to the purchaser by a serviceman for any reason, the supplier or serviceman is liable to pay that amount to the Department. This paragraph does not apply to an amount collected by the supplier as Service Occupation Tax, nor to an amount collected by the serviceman as reimbursement for the serviceman's Service Occupation Tax liability on receipts or cost prices that are subject to tax under this Act, as long as the collection is made in compliance with the tax collection brackets prescribed by the Department in its rules and regulations.
