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 640/2-10

    (35 ILCS 640/2-10)
    Sec. 2-10. Election and registration to be self-assessing purchaser. Any purchaser for non-residential electric use may elect to register with the Department as a self-assessing purchaser and to pay the tax imposed by Section 2-4 directly to the Department, at the rate stated in that Section for self-assessing purchasers, rather than paying the tax to such purchaser's delivering supplier. The election by a purchaser to register as a self-assessing purchaser may not be revoked by the purchaser for at least 2 years thereafter. A purchaser who revokes his or her registration as a self-assessing purchaser shall not thereafter be permitted to register as a self-assessing purchaser within the succeeding 2 years. A self-assessing purchaser shall renew his or her registration every 2 years, or the registration shall be deemed to be revoked.
    Application for a certificate of registration as a self-assessing purchaser shall be made to the Department upon forms furnished by the Department and shall contain any reasonable information the Department may require. The self-assessing purchaser shall be required to disclose the name of the delivering supplier or suppliers and each account numbers for which the self-assessing purchaser elects to pay the tax imposed by Section 2-4 directly to the Department. Upon receipt of the application for a certificate of registration in proper form and payment of a non-refundable biennial fee of $200, the Department shall issue to the applicant a certificate of registration that permits the person to whom it was issued to pay the tax incurred under this Law directly to the Department for a period of 2 years. The Department shall notify the delivering supplier or suppliers that the applicant has been registered as a self-assessing purchaser for the accounts listed by the self-assessing purchaser. A certificate of registration under this Section shall be renewed upon application and payment of a non-refundable biennial $200 fee, subject to revocation as provided by this Law, for additional 2-year periods from the date of its expiration unless otherwise notified by the Department.
    Upon notification by the Department that an applicant has been registered as a self-assessing purchaser, the delivering supplier is no longer required to collect the tax imposed by this Act for the accounts specifically listed by the self-assessing purchaser, until the delivering supplier is notified by the Department as set forth below that the self-assessing purchaser's certificate of registration has been expired, revoked, or denied.
    The Department may deny a certificate of registration to any applicant if the owner, any partner, any manager or member of a limited liability company, or a corporate officer of the applicant, is or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or member of a limited liability company, or a corporate officer, of another self-assessing purchaser that is in default for moneys due under this Law.
    Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Department under this Section may, within 20 days after notice of such decision, protest and request a hearing, whereupon the Department shall give notice to such person of the time and place fixed for such hearing and shall hold a hearing in conformity with the provisions of this Law and then issue its final administrative decision in the matter to such person. In the absence of such a protest within 20 days, the Department's decision shall become final without any further determination being made or notice given. Upon the expiration, revocation, or denial of a certificate of registration as a self-assessing purchaser, the Department of Revenue shall provide written notice of the expiration, revocation, or denial of the certificate to the self-assessing purchaser's delivering supplier or suppliers.
