Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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 135/11) (from Ch. 120, par. 453.41)

Sec. 11.

Return by distributor or manufacturer.

Every distributor, who is required or authorized to collect tax
under this Act, but who is not a manufacturer of cigarettes in original
packages which are contained in a sealed transparent wrapper, shall, on or
before the 15th day of each calendar month, file a return with the
Department, showing such information as the Department may reasonably
require.
The Department may promulgate rules to require that the distributor's return
be accompanied by appropriate computer-generated magnetic media supporting
schedule data in the format required by the Department, unless, as provided by
rule, the Department grants an exception upon petition of a distributor.

Illinois manufacturers of cigarettes in original packages which
are contained inside a sealed transparent wrapper shall file a return by
the 5th day of each month covering the preceding calendar month. Each such
return shall be accompanied by the appropriate remittance for tax as
provided in Section 3 of this Act. Each such return shall disclose such
information as the Department may lawfully require. Each such return shall
be accompanied by a copy of each invoice rendered by such manufacturer to
any purchaser to whom such manufacturer delivered cigarettes (or caused
cigarettes to be delivered) during the period covered by the return.
The Department may promulgate rules to require that the manufacturer's return
be accompanied by appropriate computer-generated magnetic media supporting
schedule data in the format required by the Department, unless, as provided by
rule, the Department grants an exception upon petition of a manufacturer.

No distributor shall be required to return information to the extent to which
the reporting of such information would be a duplication of such
distributor's reporting of information in any return which he is required
to file with the Department under the Cigarette Tax Act. Returns shall be
filed on forms prescribed by the Department.
