2 Section 85. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
3 Sections 1a, 3-10, and 9 as follows:
4 (35 ILCS 105/1a) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.1a)
5 Sec. 1a. A person who is engaged in the business of
6 leasing or renting motor vehicles to others and who, in
7 connection with such business sells any used motor vehicle to
8 a purchaser for his use and not for the purpose of resale, is
9 a retailer engaged in the business of selling tangible
10 personal property at retail under this Act to the extent of
11 the value of the vehicle sold. For the purpose of this
12 Section, "motor vehicle" means any motor vehicle of the first
13 division, a motor vehicle of the second division which is a
14 self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
15 converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
16 camping or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
17 living quarters from the driver's seat, or a motor vehicle of
18 a second division which is of the van configuration designed
19 for the transportation of not less than 7 nor more than 16
20 passengers, as defined in Section 1-146 of the Illinois
21 Vehicle Code. For the purpose of this Section, "motor
22 vehicle" has the meaning prescribed in Section 1-157 of The
23 Illinois Vehicle Code, as now or hereafter amended. (Nothing
24 provided herein shall affect liability incurred under this
25 Act because of the use of such motor vehicles as a lessor.)

27 (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
28 Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in
29 this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
30 6.25% of either the selling price or the fair market value,
31 if any, of the tangible personal property. In all cases
HB2333 Engrossed -16- LRB9007347KDpc
1 where property functionally used or consumed is the same as
2 the property that was purchased at retail, then the tax is
3 imposed on the selling price of the property. In all cases
4 where property functionally used or consumed is a by-product
5 or waste product that has been refined, manufactured, or
6 produced from property purchased at retail, then the tax is
7 imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
8 specific property so used in this State or on the selling
9 price of the property purchased at retail. For purposes of
10 this Section "fair market value" means the price at which
11 property would change hands between a willing buyer and a
12 willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
13 sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant
14 facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
15 sales by the taxpayer of the same property as that
16 functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such sales
17 by the taxpayer, then comparable sales or purchases of
18 property of like kind and character in Illinois.
19 With respect to gasohol, the tax imposed by this Act
20 applies to 70% of the proceeds of sales made on or after
21 January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 1999, and to 100% of the
22 proceeds of sales made thereafter, except that from July 1,
23 1997 to July 1, 1999, the rate shall be 85% for gasohol sold
24 in this State during the 12 months beginning July 1 following
25 any calendar year for which the Department has determined
26 that the percentages in Section 10 of the Gasohol Fuels Tax
27 Abatement Act have not been met.
28 With respect to food for human consumption that is to be
29 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
30 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been
31 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
32 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances,
33 modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
34 it usable by a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
HB2333 Engrossed -17- LRB9007347KDpc
1 materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
2 use, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For the purposes
3 of this Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete,
4 finished, ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether
5 carbonated or not, including but not limited to soda water,
6 cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
7 other preparations commonly known as soft drinks of whatever
8 kind or description that are contained in any closed or
9 sealed bottle, can, carton, or container, regardless of size.
10 "Soft drinks" does not include coffee, tea, non-carbonated
11 water, infant formula, milk or milk products as defined in
12 the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
13 containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
14 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, "food
15 for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
16 where it is sold" includes all food sold through a vending
17 machine, except soft drinks and food products that are
18 dispensed hot from a vending machine, regardless of the
19 location of the vending machine.
20 With respect to any motor vehicle (as the term "motor
21 vehicle" is defined in Section 1a of this Act) that is
22 purchased by a lessor for purposes of leasing under a lease
23 subject to the Automobile Leasing Occupation and Use Tax Act,
24 the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
25 With respect to any motor vehicle (as the term "motor
26 vehicle" is defined in Section 1a of this Act) that has been
27 leased by a lessor to a lessee under a lease that is subject
28 to the Automobile Leasing Occupation and Use Tax Act, and is
29 subsequently purchased by the lessee of such vehicle, the tax
30 is imposed at the rate of 5%.
31 If the property that is purchased at retail from a
32 retailer is acquired outside Illinois and used outside
33 Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
34 taxable under this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax
HB2333 Engrossed -18- LRB9007347KDpc
1 is computed shall be reduced by an amount that represents a
2 reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
3 out-of-state use.

8 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft,
9 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
10 with an agency of this State, each retailer required or
11 authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
12 to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
13 provided) at the time when he is required to file his return
14 for the period during which such tax was collected, less a
15 discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
16 after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
17 greater, which is allowed to reimburse the retailer for
18 expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
19 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
20 data to the Department on request. In the case of retailers
21 who report and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
22 basis, as provided in this Section, such discount shall be
23 taken with each such tax remittance instead of when such
24 retailer files his periodic return. A retailer need not
25 remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
26 that he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
27 by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the
28 sale of the same property.
29 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
30 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
31 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
32 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
33 return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
HB2333 Engrossed -19- LRB9007347KDpc
1 as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
2 are required to be registered with an agency of this State),
3 may collect for each tax return period, only the tax
4 applicable to that part of the selling price actually
5 received during such tax return period.
6 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
7 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall
8 file a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return
9 shall be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and
10 shall furnish such information as the Department may
11 reasonably require.
12 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
13 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
14 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
15 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
16 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
17 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
18 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
19 stating:
20 1. The name of the seller;
21 2. The address of the principal place of business
22 from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
23 personal property at retail in this State;
24 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
25 him during the preceding calendar month from sales of
26 tangible personal property by him during such preceding
27 calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
28 sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
29 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
30 this Act;
31 5. The amount of tax due;
32 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
33 6. Such other reasonable information as the
34 Department may require.
HB2333 Engrossed -20- LRB9007347KDpc
1 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
2 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
3 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
4 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
5 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
6 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
7 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
8 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
9 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
10 make all payments required by rules of the Department by
11 electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
12 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
13 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
14 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
15 monthly tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's
16 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
17 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
18 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
19 divided by 12.
20 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
21 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
22 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
23 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
24 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
25 1.
26 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
27 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
28 with the permission of the Department.
29 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
30 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
31 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
32 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
33 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
34 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
HB2333 Engrossed -21- LRB9007347KDpc
1 requirements of this Section.
2 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
3 Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
4 the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act was
5 $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
6 quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
7 month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
8 during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
9 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
10 and last day of the month during which such liability is
11 incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is
12 incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
13 be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
14 liability for the month or an amount set by the Department
15 not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability of the
16 taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
17 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability
18 and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
19 If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
20 begins on or after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1,
21 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
22 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
23 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
24 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
25 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior to
26 January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
27 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
28 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
29 month of the preceding year. If the month during which such
30 tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
31 and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
32 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
33 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
34 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
HB2333 Engrossed -22- LRB9007347KDpc
1 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
2 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior to
3 January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
4 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
5 of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
6 the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
7 for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount of such
8 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
9 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month. Once
10 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
11 payments to the Department shall continue until such
12 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
13 the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
14 month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
15 is less than $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly
16 liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
17 quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
18 is less than $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
19 Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
20 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
21 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
22 foreseeable future will fall below $10,000, then such
23 taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
24 taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change
25 such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such
26 change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term.
27 If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time
28 or in the amount required by this Section, then the
29 taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendors' discount shall be reduced
30 by 2.1% or 1.75%, as the case may be, of the difference
31 between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
32 monthly payment actually and timely paid and the taxpayer
33 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
34 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
HB2333 Engrossed -23- LRB9007347KDpc
1 made payments for that month to the Department in excess of
2 the minimum payments previously due as provided in this
3 Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
4 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
5 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
6 than a calendar monthly basis.
7 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
8 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
9 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
10 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
11 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit
12 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment,
13 which memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the
14 Department in payment of tax liability subsequently to be
15 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
16 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
17 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
18 or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
19 rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Department,
20 except that if such excess payment is shown on an original
21 monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
22 memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
23 If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such
24 excess payment against tax liability subsequently to be
25 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
26 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
27 Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
28 rules and regulations prescribed by the Department. If the
29 Department subsequently determines that all or any part of
30 the credit taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
31 taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
32 by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
33 and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
34 penalties and interest on such difference.

6 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
7 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of

27 month after discontinuing such business.
28 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
29 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered

31 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the

9 For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
10 Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
11 the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft,
12 or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
13 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor

29 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer

22 Department being satisfied of the truth of such
23 certification) transmit the information required by the
24 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
25 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
26 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
27 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
28 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
29 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
30 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
31 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
32 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
33 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
34 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.

25 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
26 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
27 joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
28 file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
29 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
30 required by both Acts on the one form.
31 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
32 with the Department under separate registration under this
33 Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
34 single return covering all such registered businesses, but

19 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft,
20 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
21 with an agency of this State, each retailer required or
22 authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
23 to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
24 provided) at the time when he is required to file his return
25 for the period during which such tax was collected, less a
26 discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
27 after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
28 greater, which is allowed to reimburse the retailer for
29 expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
30 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
31 data to the Department on request. In the case of retailers
32 who report and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
33 basis, as provided in this Section, such discount shall be
34 taken with each such tax remittance instead of when such
HB2333 Engrossed -36- LRB9007347KDpc
1 retailer files his periodic return. A retailer need not
2 remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
3 that he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
4 by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the
5 sale of the same property.
6 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
7 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
8 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
9 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
10 return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
11 as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
12 are required to be registered with an agency of this State),
13 may collect for each tax return period, only the tax
14 applicable to that part of the selling price actually
15 received during such tax return period.
16 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
17 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall
18 file a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return
19 shall be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and
20 shall furnish such information as the Department may
21 reasonably require.
22 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
23 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
24 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
25 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
26 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
27 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
28 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
29 stating:
30 1. The name of the seller;
31 2. The address of the principal place of business
32 from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
33 personal property at retail in this State;
34 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
HB2333 Engrossed -37- LRB9007347KDpc
1 him during the preceding calendar month from sales of
2 tangible personal property by him during such preceding
3 calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
4 sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
5 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
6 this Act;
7 5. The amount of tax due;
8 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
9 6. Such other reasonable information as the
10 Department may require.
11 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
12 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
13 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
14 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
15 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
16 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
17 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
18 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
19 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
20 make all payments required by rules of the Department by
21 electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
22 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
23 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
24 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
25 monthly tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's
26 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
27 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
28 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
29 divided by 12.
30 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
31 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
32 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
33 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
34 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
HB2333 Engrossed -38- LRB9007347KDpc
1 1.
2 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
3 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
4 with the permission of the Department.
5 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
6 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
7 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
8 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
9 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
10 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
11 requirements of this Section.
12 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
13 Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
14 the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act was
15 $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
16 quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
17 month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
18 during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
19 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
20 and last day of the month during which such liability is
21 incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is
22 incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
23 be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
24 liability for the month or an amount set by the Department
25 not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability of the
26 taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
27 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability
28 and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
29 If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
30 begins on or after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1,
31 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
32 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
33 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
34 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
HB2333 Engrossed -39- LRB9007347KDpc
1 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior to
2 January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
3 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
4 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
5 month of the preceding year. If the month during which such
6 tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
7 and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
8 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
9 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
10 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
11 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
12 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior to
13 January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
14 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
15 of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
16 the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
17 for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount of such
18 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
19 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month. Once
20 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
21 payments to the Department shall continue until such
22 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
23 the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
24 month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
25 is less than $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly
26 liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
27 quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
28 is less than $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
29 Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
30 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
31 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
32 foreseeable future will fall below $10,000, then such
33 taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
34 taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change
HB2333 Engrossed -40- LRB9007347KDpc
1 such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such
2 change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term.
3 If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time
4 or in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer
5 shall be liable for penalties and interest on the difference
6 between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
7 monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as
8 the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to
9 the Department in excess of the minimum payments previously
10 due as provided in this Section. The Department shall make
11 reasonable rules and regulations to govern the quarter
12 monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
13 taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
14 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
15 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
16 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
17 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
18 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit
19 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment,
20 which memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the
21 Department in payment of tax liability subsequently to be
22 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
23 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
24 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
25 or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
26 rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Department,
27 except that if such excess payment is shown on an original
28 monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
29 memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
30 If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such
31 excess payment against tax liability subsequently to be
32 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
33 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
34 Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
HB2333 Engrossed -41- LRB9007347KDpc
1 rules and regulations prescribed by the Department. If the
2 Department subsequently determines that all or any part of
3 the credit taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
4 taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
5 by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
6 and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
7 penalties and interest on such difference.
8 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
9 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
10 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
11 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
12 with the return for January, February, and March of a given
13 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
14 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
15 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
16 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
17 the return for October, November and December of a given year
18 being due by January 20 of the following year.
19 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
20 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
21 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
22 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
23 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
24 20 of the following year.
25 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
26 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
27 monthly returns.
28 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
29 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
30 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
31 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
32 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
33 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
34 month after discontinuing such business.

1 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
2 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
3 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
4 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
5 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
6 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
7 personal property which the retailer sells, except that
8 where, in the same transaction, a retailer of aircraft,
9 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
10 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
11 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
12 the purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report the
13 transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
14 trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on
15 the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
16 For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
17 Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of

24 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
25 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
26 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
27 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
28 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
29 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
30 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
31 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
32 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
33 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
34 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
HB2333 Engrossed -43- LRB9007347KDpc
1 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
2 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
3 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
4 the property sold; such other information as is required in
5 Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
6 information as the Department may reasonably require.
7 The transaction reporting return in the case of
8 watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
9 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
10 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
11 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
12 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
13 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
14 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
15 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
16 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
17 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
18 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
19 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
20 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
21 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of
22 the property sold, and such other information as the
23 Department may reasonably require.
24 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
25 later than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item
26 that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any
27 time sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The
28 transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of
29 exemption from the tax that is imposed by this Act may be
30 transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
31 which, or State officer with whom, the tangible personal
32 property must be titled or registered (if titling or
33 registration is required) if the Department and such agency
34 or State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
HB2333 Engrossed -44- LRB9007347KDpc
1 the processing of applications for title or registration.
2 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
3 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
4 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
5 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
6 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax
7 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
8 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
9 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
10 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
11 personal property that is involved (if titling or
12 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
13 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
14 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
15 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
16 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
17 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
18 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
19 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
20 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
21 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
22 mandate of this paragraph.
23 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
24 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
25 of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
26 the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user
27 has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
28 to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the
29 Department being satisfied of the truth of such
30 certification) transmit the information required by the
31 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
32 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
33 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
34 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
HB2333 Engrossed -45- LRB9007347KDpc
1 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
2 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
3 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
4 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
5 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
6 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
7 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
8 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
9 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells
10 and the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
11 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof
12 to the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
13 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
14 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
15 to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
16 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use
17 tax which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to
18 the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
19 tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department
20 by such retailer. If the retailer has not previously
21 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he is
22 entitled to no deduction under this Act upon refunding such
23 tax to the purchaser.
24 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall
25 also include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the
26 total tax covered by such return upon the selling price of
27 tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from a
28 retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
29 collected from the retailer filing such return, and such
30 retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
31 when filing such return.
32 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
33 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
34 joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
HB2333 Engrossed -46- LRB9007347KDpc
1 file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
2 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
3 required by both Acts on the one form.
4 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
5 with the Department under separate registration under this
6 Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
7 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
8 shall file separate returns for each such registered
9 business.
10 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
11 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
12 special fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created,

4 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
5 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
6 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
7 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
8 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
9 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
10 month after discontinuing such business.
11 Where the same person has more than one business
12 registered with the Department under separate registrations
13 under this Act, such person may not file each return that is
14 due as a single return covering all such registered
15 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
16 registered business.
17 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
18 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
19 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
20 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
21 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the

25 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
26 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
27 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer
28 retailer for the purpose of resale, that seller for resale
29 may report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor
30 vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
31 Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
32 return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft"
33 means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in

3 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
4 aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
5 an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation
6 tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
7 such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
8 required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
9 monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
10 be required to file returns on an annual basis.
11 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
12 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
13 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
14 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois
15 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
16 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
17 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
18 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
19 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
20 if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
21 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
22 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
23 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
24 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
25 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
26 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
27 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
28 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
29 the property sold; such other information as is required in
30 Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
31 information as the Department may reasonably require.
32 The transaction reporting return in the case of
33 watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of the
34 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
HB2333 Engrossed -61- LRB9007347KDpc

5 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
6 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
7 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
8 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected

11 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
12 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of
13 the property sold, and such other information as the
14 Department may reasonably require.
15 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
16 later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
17 is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time
18 sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction
19 reporting return and tax remittance or proof of exemption
20 from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the
21 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
22 officer with whom the tangible personal property must be
23 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
24 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
25 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
26 applications for title or registration.
27 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
28 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
29 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
30 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
31 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
32 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
33 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
34 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State

2 personal property that is involved (if titling or
3 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
4 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
5 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
6 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
7 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
8 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
9 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
10 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
11 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
12 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
13 mandate of this paragraph.
14 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
15 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
16 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department
17 before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
18 user has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may
19 certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
20 (upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such
21 certification) transmit the information required by the
22 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
23 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
24 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
25 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
26 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
27 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
28 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
29 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
30 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
31 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
32 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
33 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
34 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal
HB2333 Engrossed -63- LRB9007347KDpc
1 property returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a
2 deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly
3 return, as the case may be, in case the seller had
4 theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
5 tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had
6 paid the tax imposed by this Act with respect to such
7 receipts.
8 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
9 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
10 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
11 accredited agent of such corporation.
12 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
13 return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
14 be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
15 of the limited liability company.
16 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
17 the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing
18 such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed
19 by this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990
20 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
21 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
22 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
23 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
24 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made
25 pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
26 amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In
27 the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
28 transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
29 Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
30 remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
31 return.
32 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
33 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
34 Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding
HB2333 Engrossed -64- LRB9007347KDpc
1 any liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in
2 accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000 or more
3 during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall
4 file a return with the Department each month by the 20th day
5 of the month next following the month during which such tax
6 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the
7 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of
8 the month during which such liability is incurred. If the
9 month during which such tax liability is incurred began prior
10 to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount equal
11 to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an
12 amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average
13 monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department for the
14 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month
15 of highest liability and the month of lowest liability in
16 such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
17 liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
18 prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
19 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
20 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
21 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
22 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
23 January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
24 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
25 liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
26 for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the
27 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
28 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
29 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in
30 an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability
31 for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
32 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
33 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
34 January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment
HB2333 Engrossed -65- LRB9007347KDpc
1 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
2 liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
3 for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of
4 the taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly
5 reporting period. The amount of such quarter monthly
6 payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
7 the taxpayer's return for that month. Once applicable, the
8 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
9 Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax
10 liability of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner
11 provided above shall continue until such taxpayer's average
12 monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
13 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
14 liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
15 $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
16 the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
17 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
18 $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that
19 a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
20 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
21 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
22 will fall below $10,000, then such taxpayer may petition the
23 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
24 The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
25 unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and
26 not likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly
27 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
28 this Section, then the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendors'
29 discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference
30 between the minimum amount due as a payment and the amount of
31 such quarter monthly payment actually and timely paid, and
32 the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on
33 such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
34 previously made payments for that month to the Department in
HB2333 Engrossed -66- LRB9007347KDpc
1 excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in
2 this Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
3 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
4 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
5 than a calendar monthly basis.
6 Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
7 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
8 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
9 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average
10 in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2
11 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the
12 Department as required by Section 2f and shall make payments
13 to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
14 day of the month during which such liability is incurred. If
15 the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
16 prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
17 each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
18 taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
19 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
20 after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount
21 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
22 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
23 calendar month of the preceding calendar year. If the month
24 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
25 after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
26 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
27 month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
28 calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of such
29 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
30 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
31 under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
32 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
33 payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
34 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
HB2333 Engrossed -67- LRB9007347KDpc
1 collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
2 is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly payment is
3 not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
4 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
5 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
6 made payments for that month in excess of the minimum
7 payments previously due.
8 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
9 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
10 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
11 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
12 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
13 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment.
14 The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be
15 assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this
16 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
17 Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
18 regulations to be prescribed by the Department. If no such
19 request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
20 against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the
21 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
22 Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance
23 with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by the
24 Department. If the Department subsequently determined that
25 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
26 the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
27 shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between
28 the credit taken and that actually due, and that taxpayer
29 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
30 difference.
31 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
32 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
33 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
34 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the

31 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
32 Such annual return to the Department shall include a

26 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer
27 shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
28 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
29 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
30 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
31 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person

14 Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
15 of the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a
16 daily payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department
17 shall impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
18 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
19 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on
20 evidence that a substantial number of concessionaires or
21 other sellers who are not residents of Illinois will be
22 engaging in the business of selling tangible personal
23 property at retail at the exhibition or event, or other
24 evidence of a significant risk of loss of revenue to the

7 due as a single return covering all such registered
8 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such

22 may report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor
23 vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the

27 Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a
28 personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard
29 motor.
30 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
31 aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
32 an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation
33 tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
34 such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
HB2333 Engrossed -82- LRB9007347KDpc
1 required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
2 monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
3 be required to file returns on an annual basis.
4 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
5 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
6 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
7 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois
8 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
9 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
10 the selling price including the amount allowed by the

21 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
22 the property sold; such other information as is required in
23 Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
24 information as the Department may reasonably require.

26 watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of the
27 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
28 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
29 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed

6 the property sold, and such other information as the
7 Department may reasonably require.
8 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
9 later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
10 is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time
11 sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction
12 reporting return and tax remittance or proof of exemption
13 from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the
14 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
15 officer with whom the tangible personal property must be
16 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
17 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
18 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
19 applications for title or registration.
20 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
21 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
22 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
23 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
24 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
25 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
26 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
27 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
28 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
29 personal property that is involved (if titling or
30 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
31 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
32 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
33 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
34 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
HB2333 Engrossed -84- LRB9007347KDpc
1 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
2 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
3 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
4 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
5 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
6 mandate of this paragraph.
7 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
8 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
9 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department
10 before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
11 user has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may
12 certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
13 (upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such
14 certification) transmit the information required by the
15 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
16 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
17 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
18 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
19 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
20 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
21 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
22 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
23 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
24 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
25 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
26 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
27 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal
28 property returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a
29 deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly
30 return, as the case may be, in case the seller had
31 theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
32 tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had
33 paid the tax imposed by this Act with respect to such
34 receipts.

6 return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
7 be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent

15 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
16 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
17 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made
18 pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
19 amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In
20 the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
21 transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
22 Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
23 remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
24 return.
25 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
26 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
27 Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding
28 any liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in
29 accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000 or more
30 during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall
31 file a return with the Department each month by the 20th day
32 of the month next following the month during which such tax
33 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the
34 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of
HB2333 Engrossed -86- LRB9007347KDpc
1 the month during which such liability is incurred. If the
2 month during which such tax liability is incurred began prior
3 to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount equal
4 to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an
5 amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average
6 monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department for the
7 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month
8 of highest liability and the month of lowest liability in
9 such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
10 liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
11 prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
12 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
13 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
14 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
15 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
16 January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
17 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
18 liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
19 for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the
20 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
21 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
22 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in
23 an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability
24 for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
25 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
26 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
27 January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment
28 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
29 liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
30 for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of
31 the taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly
32 reporting period. The amount of such quarter monthly
33 payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
34 the taxpayer's return for that month. Once applicable, the
HB2333 Engrossed -87- LRB9007347KDpc
1 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
2 Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax
3 liability of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner
4 provided above shall continue until such taxpayer's average
5 monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
6 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
7 liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
8 $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
9 the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
10 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
11 $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that
12 a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
13 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
14 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
15 will fall below $10,000, then such taxpayer may petition the
16 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
17 The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
18 unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and
19 not likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly
20 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
21 this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
22 and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
23 as a payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
24 actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has
25 previously made payments for that month to the Department in
26 excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in
27 this Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
28 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
29 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
30 than a calendar monthly basis.
31 Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
32 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
33 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
34 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average
HB2333 Engrossed -88- LRB9007347KDpc
1 in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2
2 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the
3 Department as required by Section 2f and shall make payments
4 to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
5 day of the month during which such liability is incurred. If
6 the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
7 prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
8 each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
9 taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
10 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
11 after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount
12 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
13 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
14 calendar month of the preceding calendar year. If the month
15 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
16 after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
17 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
18 month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
19 calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of such
20 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
21 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
22 under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
23 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
24 payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
25 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
26 collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
27 is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly payment is
28 not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
29 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
30 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
31 made payments for that month in excess of the minimum
32 payments previously due.
33 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
34 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
HB2333 Engrossed -89- LRB9007347KDpc
1 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
2 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
3 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
4 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment.
5 The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be
6 assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this
7 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
8 Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
9 regulations to be prescribed by the Department. If no such
10 request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
11 against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the
12 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
13 Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance
14 with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by the
15 Department. If the Department subsequently determined that
16 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
17 the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
18 shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between
19 the credit taken and that actually due, and that taxpayer
20 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
21 difference.
22 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
23 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
24 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
25 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
26 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
27 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
28 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund

23 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
24 Such annual return to the Department shall include a

26 Federal income tax return. If the total receipts of the
27 business as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
28 agree with the gross receipts reported to the Department of
29 Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach to his
30 annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
31 amounts and the reasons for the difference. The retailer's
32 annual return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
33 of goods sold by the retailer during the year covered by such

6 monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by such retailer
7 as provided for in this Section.
8 If the annual information return required by this Section
9 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be
10 liable as follows:
11 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
12 liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
13 from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
14 covered by the annual return for each month or fraction
15 of a month until such return is filed as required, the
16 penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner
17 as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
18 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer
19 shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
20 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
21 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
22 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
23 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person
24 who willfully signs the annual return containing false or
25 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and
26 punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by
27 the Department shall include a warning that the person
28 signing the return may be liable for perjury.
29 The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of
30 an annual information return do not apply to a retailer who
31 is not required to file an income tax return with the United

10 overpayment of liability.
11 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
12 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
13 in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
14 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the

6 Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
7 of the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a
8 daily payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department
9 shall impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
10 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
11 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on
12 evidence that a substantial number of concessionaires or
13 other sellers who are not residents of Illinois will be
14 engaging in the business of selling tangible personal
15 property at retail at the exhibition or event, or other
16 evidence of a significant risk of loss of revenue to the
