 1        AN ACT concerning motor fuel.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.   The  Use  Tax  Act  is  amended by changing
 5    Section 3-10 and by adding Sections 3-41 and 3-42 as follows:

 6        (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
 7        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
 8    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
 9    6.25% of either the selling price or the fair  market  value,
10    if  any,  of  the  tangible  personal property.  In all cases
11    where property functionally used or consumed is the  same  as
12    the  property  that  was purchased at retail, then the tax is
13    imposed on the selling price of the property.  In  all  cases
14    where  property functionally used or consumed is a by-product
15    or waste product that  has  been  refined,  manufactured,  or
16    produced  from  property purchased at retail, then the tax is
17    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
18    specific property so used in this State  or  on  the  selling
19    price  of  the  property purchased at retail. For purposes of
20    this Section "fair market value" means  the  price  at  which
21    property  would  change  hands  between a willing buyer and a
22    willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy  or
23    sell  and  both  having  reasonable knowledge of the relevant
24    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
25    sales  by  the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property   as   that
26    functionally  used or consumed, or if there are no such sales
27    by the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases  of
28    property of like kind and character in Illinois.
29        Beginning  on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000,
30    with respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of  the
31    Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40

 7    made on or after January 1, 2006  and  through  December  31,

 9    made thereafter. If, at any time, however, the tax under this

17    time,  however,  the tax under this Act on sales of E85 blend
18    fuel is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by
19    this Act applies to 100% of the  proceeds  of  sales  of  E85
20    blend fuel made during that time.

 5    however, the tax under this Act on sales of bio-diesel  blend
 6    fuel  with  more  than 10% fuel made from biomass material is
 7    imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the tax  imposed  by  this

 6    acquired outside Illinois and used  outside  Illinois  before

15        Section 15.  The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
16    changing Section 3-10 as follows:

17        (35 ILCS 115/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.103-10)
18        Sec.  3-10.  Rate  of  tax.  Unless otherwise provided in
19    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
20    6.25%  of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of the
21    Service Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.   For
22    the  purpose  of  computing  this  tax, in no event shall the
23    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
24    of the tangible personal property transferred.   The  selling
25    price  of each item of tangible personal property transferred
26    as an incident of a  sale  of  service  may  be  shown  as  a
27    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
28    service  customer.  If the selling price is not so shown, the
29    selling price of the tangible personal property is deemed  to
30    be  50%  of  the  serviceman's  entire billing to the service
31    customer.  When, however, a serviceman contracts  to  design,
32    develop,  and  produce  special order machinery or equipment,

 5    with  respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of the
 6    Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in  Section  3-40

 9    the tax imposed by this Act shall apply to  (i)  70%  of  the

17    2010 July 1, 2003,  and  (iv)  to  100%  of  the  cost  price
18    thereafter.  If, at any time, however, the tax under this Act
19    on sales of gasohol, as  defined  in  the  Use  Tax  Act,  is
20    imposed  at  the  rate of 1.25%, then the tax imposed by this
21    Act applies to 100% of the proceeds of sales of gasohol  made
22    during that time.
23        With respect to E85 blend fuel, as defined in the Use Tax
24    Act,  the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act  does not apply to the
25    selling price of property transferred as an incident  to  the
26    sale  of  service  on  or  after  January 1, 2003 and through
27    December 31, 2010 but applies to 100% of  the  selling  price
28    thereafter.  If, at any time, however, the tax under this Act
29    on sales of E85 blend fuel, as defined in the Use Tax Act, is
30    imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the tax  imposed  by  this
31    Act  applies  to  100%  of the proceeds of sales of E85 blend
32    fuel made during that time.
