 1                    AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 2201
 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend House Bill 2201  by  replacing
 3    the title with the following:
 4        "AN  ACT  to  amend  the  Service Use Tax Act by changing
 5    Section 3-70."; and
 6    by replacing everything after the enacting  clause  with  the
 7    following:
 8        "Section  5.  The  Service  Use  Tax  Act  is  amended by
 9    changing Section 3-70 as follows:
10        (35 ILCS 110/3-70)
11        Sec. 3-70. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. For  purchases
12    of machinery and equipment made on and after January 1, 1995,
13    a  purchaser  of  manufacturing  machinery and equipment that
14    qualifies for the exemption provided by Section 2 of this Act
15    earns a credit in an amount equal to a  fixed  percentage  of
16    the  tax  which  would  have  been incurred under this Act on
17    those purchases. For purchases of graphic arts machinery  and
18    equipment  made  on  or  after  July  1,  1996, a purchase of
19    graphic arts machinery and equipment that qualifies  for  the
20    exemption  provided  by  paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this
21    Act earns a credit in an amount equal to a  fixed  percentage
                            -2-              LRB9000111KDksam
 1    of  the  tax  that would have been incurred under this Act on
 2    those purchases.  The  credit  earned  for  the  purchase  of
 3    manufacturing   machinery  and  equipment  and  graphic  arts
 4    machinery  and  equipment  shall  be  referred  to   as   the
 5    Manufacturer's  Purchase Credit. A graphic arts producer is a
 6    person engaged in  graphic  arts  production  as  defined  in
 7    Section  3-30  of  the Service Occupation Tax Act.  Beginning
 8    July 1, 1996, all references in this Section to manufacturers
 9    or manufacturing shall also refer to graphic  arts  producers
10    or graphic arts production.
11        The  amount  of  credit  shall be a percentage of the tax
12    that  would  have  been  incurred  on  the  purchase  of  the
13    manufacturing  machinery  and  equipment  or   graphic   arts
14    machinery and equipment if the exemptions provided by Section
15    2  or  paragraph  (5) of Section 3-5 of this Act had not been
16    applicable.
17        All purchases of manufacturing  machinery  and  equipment
18    and graphic arts machinery and equipment that qualify for the
19    exemptions   provided  by  paragraph  (5)  of  Section  2  or
20    paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of  this  Act  qualify  for  the
21    credit  without  regard to whether the serviceman elected, or
22    could have elected, under paragraph (7) of Section 2 of  this
23    Act  to  exclude  the  transaction  from  this  Act.   If the
24    serviceman's  billing  to  the  service  customer  separately
25    states a selling price for the exempt manufacturing machinery
26    or  equipment  or  the  exempt  graphic  arts  machinery  and
27    equipment, the  credit  shall  be  calculated,  as  otherwise
28    provided  herein,  based  on  that  selling  price.   If  the
29    serviceman's  billing  does  not  separately  state a selling
30    price for the exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment or
31    the exempt graphic arts machinery and equipment,  the  credit
32    shall  be  calculated, as otherwise provided herein, based on
33    50% of the entire billing.  If the  serviceman  contracts  to
34    design,  develop,  and  produce  special  order manufacturing
                            -3-              LRB9000111KDksam
 1    machinery  and  equipment  or  special  order  graphic   arts
 2    machinery  and equipment, and the billing does not separately
 3    state a selling price for such special  order  machinery  and
 4    equipment,  the  credit  shall  be  calculated,  as otherwise
 5    provided herein, based on 50% of  the  entire  billing.   The
 6    provisions of this paragraph are effective for purchases made
 7    on or after January 1, 1995.
 8        The percentage shall be as follows:
 9             (1)  15%  for  purchases  made on or before June 30,
10        1995.
11             (2)  25% for purchases made after June 30, 1995, and
12        on or before June 30, 1996.
13             (3)  40% for purchases made after June 30, 1996, and
14        on or before June 30, 1997.
15             (4)  50% for purchases made  on  or  after  July  1,
16        1997.
17        A  purchaser  of  production  related  tangible  personal
18    property  desiring  to use the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
19    shall certify to the seller that the purchaser is  satisfying
20    all  or  part  of  the liability under the Use Tax Act or the
21    Service Use Tax Act that  is  due  on  the  purchase  of  the
22    production  related  tangible  personal  property by use of a
23    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. The  Manufacturer's  Purchase
24    Credit certification must be dated and shall include the name
25    and  address  of  the purchaser, the purchaser's registration
26    number, if  registered,  the  credit  being  applied,  and  a
27    statement that the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability
28    is  being  satisfied  with the manufacturer's or graphic arts
29    producer's accumulated purchase credit. Certification may  be
30    incorporated   into   the   manufacturer's  or  graphic  arts
31    producer's purchase  order.  Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit
32    certification  by  the  manufacturer or graphic arts producer
33    may  be  used  to  satisfy  the  retailer's  or  serviceman's
34    liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or  Service
                            -4-              LRB9000111KDksam
 1    Occupation  Tax  Act  for  the  credit claimed, not to exceed
 2    6.25% of the  receipts  subject  to  tax  from  a  qualifying
 3    purchase,  but only if the retailer or serviceman reports the
 4    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit claimed  as  required  by  the
 5    Department.  The  Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit  earned by
 6    purchase of exempt manufacturing machinery and  equipment  or
 7    graphic  arts  machinery  and equipment is a non-transferable
 8    credit.  A manufacturer or graphic arts producer that  enters
 9    into  a  contract  involving  the  installation  of  tangible
10    personal  property into real estate within a manufacturing or
11    graphic arts production facility may authorize a construction
12    contractor to utilize credit accumulated by the  manufacturer
13    or  graphic  arts  producer to purchase the tangible personal
14    property.  A manufacturer or graphic arts producer  intending
15    to  use accumulated credit to purchase such tangible personal
16    property shall execute a  written  contract  authorizing  the
17    contractor  to  utilize  a specified dollar amount of credit.
18    The  contractor  shall  furnish   the   supplier   with   the
19    manufacturer's  or graphic arts producer's name, registration
20    or resale number, and a statement that a specific  amount  of
21    the Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability, not to exceed 6.25%
22    of the selling price, is being satisfied with the credit. The
23    manufacturer  or graphic arts producer shall remain liable to
24    timely report all information required by the  annual  Report
25    of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for credit utilized by
26    a construction contractor.
27        The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy
28    liability  under  the  Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act
29    due on the purchase of production related  tangible  personal
30    property (including purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic
31    arts producer, or a lessor who rents or leases the use of the
32    property  to  a  manufacturer  or graphic arts producer) that
33    does not otherwise qualify for  the  manufacturing  machinery
34    and  equipment  exemption  or  the graphic arts machinery and
                            -5-              LRB9000111KDksam
 1    equipment exemption.  "Production related  tangible  personal
 2    property"  means  (i)  all tangible personal property used or
 3    consumed by the purchaser  in  a  manufacturing  facility  in
 4    which  a  manufacturing  process described in Section 2-45 of
 5    the Retailers' Occupation  Tax  Act  takes  place,  including
 6    tangible  personal  property purchased for incorporation into
 7    real estate within a manufacturing  facility  and  including,
 8    but  not  limited  to,  tangible  personal  property  used or
 9    consumed  in  activities  such  as  pre-production   material
10    handling,  receiving,  quality  control,  inventory  control,
11    storage,    staging,   and   packaging   for   shipping   and
12    transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible personal  property
13    used  or consumed by the purchaser in a graphic arts facility
14    in which graphic arts production as described in Section 2-30
15    of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes  place,  including
16    tangible  personal  property purchased for incorporation into
17    real estate within a graphic arts facility and including, but
18    not limited  to,  all  tangible  personal  property  used  or
19    consumed  in  activities  such as graphic arts preliminary or
20    pre-press  production,   pre-production  material   handling,
21    receiving,   quality  control,  inventory  control,  storage,
22    staging, sorting, labeling,  mailing,  tying,  wrapping,  and
23    packaging;  and  (iii) all tangible personal property used or
24    consumed by  the  purchaser  for  research  and  development.
25    "Production  related  tangible  personal  property"  does not
26    include  (i)  tangible  personal  property  used,  within  or
27    without a manufacturing or graphic arts facility,  in  sales,
28    purchasing,   accounting,   fiscal   management,   marketing,
29    personnel  recruitment  or  selection, or landscaping or (ii)
30    tangible  personal  property  required  to   be   titled   or
31    registered  with  a  department,  agency, or unit of federal,
32    state, or  local  government.   The  Manufacturer's  Purchase
33    Credit may be used to satisfy the tax arising either from the
34    purchase  of  machinery  and equipment on or after January 1,
                            -6-              LRB9000111KDksam
 1    1995 for which  the  manufacturing  machinery  and  equipment
 2    exemption  provided by Section 2  of this Act was erroneously
 3    claimed, or the purchase of machinery  and  equipment  on  or
 4    after  July  1,  1996  for  which  the  exemption provided by
 5    paragraph (5) of Section 3-5  of  this  Act  was  erroneously
 6    claimed,  but  not  in  satisfaction  of penalty, if any, and
 7    interest for failure to pay the tax when due.  A purchaser of
 8    production related tangible personal property who is required
 9    to pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax  on  the  purchase
10    directly  to  the  Department  may utilize the Manufacturer's
11    Purchase Credit in satisfaction of the tax arising from  that
12    purchase,  but not in satisfaction of penalty and interest. A
13    purchaser who uses  the  Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit  to
14    purchase  property  which  is  later  determined  not  to  be
15    production  related  tangible personal property may be liable
16    for tax, penalty,  and  interest  on  the  purchase  of  that
17    property  as of the date of purchase but shall be entitled to
18    use the disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, so long as
19    it has not expired, on  qualifying  purchases  of  production
20    related  tangible personal property not previously subject to
21    credit usage. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by  a
22    manufacturer or graphic arts producer expires the last day of
23    the second calendar year following the calendar year in which
24    the credit arose.
25        A  purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
26    sign and file an annual  Report  of  Manufacturer's  Purchase
27    Credit  Earned  for each calendar year no later than the last
28    day of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
29    Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit  is  earned.   A  Report  of
30    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms
31    as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall  state,
32    for  each  month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
33    price of all purchases of  exempt  manufacturing  or  graphic
34    arts machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total
                            -7-              LRB9000111KDksam
 1    State Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on
 2    those  items;  (iii)  the  percentage  used  to calculate the
 3    amount of credit earned; (iv) the amount  of  credit  earned;
 4    and   (v)  such  other  information  as  the  Department  may
 5    reasonably  require.   A  purchaser  earning   Manufacturer's
 6    Purchase  Credit shall maintain records which identify, as to
 7    each purchase of manufacturing or graphic arts machinery  and
 8    equipment   on  which  the  purchaser  earned  Manufacturer's
 9    Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable, either
10    the  vendor's  registration  number   or   Federal   Employer
11    Identification Number), the purchase price, and the amount of
12    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on each purchase.
13        A  purchaser  using  Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
14    sign and file an annual  Report  of  Manufacturer's  Purchase
15    Credit Used for each calendar year no later than the last day
16    of  the  sixth  month  following the calendar year in which a
17    Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit  is  used.   A   Report   of
18    Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit Used shall be filed on forms
19    as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall  state,
20    for  each month of the calendar year:  (i) the total purchase
21    price  of  production  related  tangible  personal   property
22    purchased  from  Illinois  suppliers; (ii) the total purchase
23    price  of  production  related  tangible  personal   property
24    purchased from out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the total amount
25    of  credit  used  during  such  month;  and  (iv)  such other
26    information as the  Department  may  reasonably  require.   A
27    purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain
28    records  that  identify,  as  to  each purchase of production
29    related tangible personal property  on  which  the  purchaser
30    used  Manufacturer's  Purchase Credit, the vendor (including,
31    if applicable, either the  vendor's  registration  number  or
32    Federal  Employer Identification Number), the purchase price,
33    and the amount of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each
34    purchase.

 1        No annual report shall be filed before  May  1,  1996.  A
 2    purchaser   that   fails   to   file   an  annual  Report  of
 3    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report  of
 4    Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit  Used by the last day of the
 5    sixth month following the end  of  the  calendar  year  shall
 6    forfeit  all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
 7    year unless it establishes that its failure to file  was  due
 8    to  reasonable  cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports
 9    may be amended to  report  and  claim  credit  on  qualifying
10    purchases  not  previously  reported  at  any time before the
11    credit would have expired, unless both the Department and the
12    purchaser have agreed to  an  extension  of  the  statute  of
13    limitations  for the issuance of a notice of tax liability as
14    provided in Section 4 of the Retailers' Occupation  Tax  Act.
15    If  the time for assessment or refund has been extended, then
16    amended reports for a calendar year may be filed at any  time
17    prior to the date to which the statute of limitations for the
18    calendar  year  or  portion  thereof  has  been  extended. No
19    Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit  report   filed   with   the
20    Department  for  periods  prior  to  January 1, 1995 shall be
21    approved.  Manufacturer's  Purchase  Credit  claimed  on   an
22    amended report may be used to satisfy tax liability under the
23    Use  Tax  Act  or  the  Service Use Tax Act (i) on qualifying
24    purchases of production related  tangible  personal  property
25    made  after  the  date  the  amended  report is filed or (ii)
26    assessed  by  the  Department  on  qualifying  purchases   of
27    production  related  tangible  personal  property made in the
28    case of manufacturers on or after January 1, 1995, or in  the
29    case of graphic arts producers on or after July 1, 1996.
30        If  the  purchaser  is  not the manufacturer or a graphic
31    arts producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to
32    a manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, the purchaser  may
33    earn,  report,  and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the
34    same manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer.

 1        A purchaser shall not be entitled to  any  Manufacturer's
 2    Purchase  Credit  for  a  purchase  that  is  required  to be
 3    reported and is not  timely  reported  as  provided  in  this
 4    Section.  A purchaser remains liable for (i) any tax that was
 5    satisfied  by  use of a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of
 6    the date of purchase, if that use is not timely  reported  as
 7    required   in  this  Section  and  (ii)  for  any  applicable
 8    penalties and interest for failing to pay the tax when due.
