2 AMENDMENT NO. . Amend House Bill 3289 by replacing
3 everything after the enacting clause with the following:
4 "Section 5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
5 Sections 3-45 and 3-50 and adding Section 3-10.5 as follows:
6 (35 ILCS 105/3-10.5 new)
7 Sec. 3-10.5 Direct payment of retailers' occupation tax
8 and applicable local retailers' occupation tax by purchaser;
9 purchaser relieved of paying use tax and local retailers'
10 occupation tax reimbursement liabilities to retailer.
11 (a) A retailer who makes a retail sale of tangible
12 personal property to a purchaser who provides the retailer
13 with a copy of the purchaser's valid Direct Pay Permit issued
14 under Section 2-10.5 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act is
15 not required under Section 3-45 of this Act to collect the
16 tax imposed by this Act on that sale.
17 (b) A purchaser who makes a purchase from a retailer who
18 would otherwise incur retailers' occupation tax liability on
19 the transaction and who provides the retailer with a copy of
20 a valid Direct Pay Permit issued under Section 2-10.5 of the
21 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act does not incur the tax imposed
22 by this Act on the purchase. The purchaser assumes the
-2- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 retailer's obligation to pay the retailers' occupation tax
2 directly to the Department, including all local retailers'
3 occupation tax liabilities applicable to that retail sale.
4 (c) A purchaser who makes a purchase from a retailer who
5 would not incur retailers' occupation tax liability on the
6 transaction and who provides the retailer with a copy of a
7 valid Direct Pay Permit issued under Section 2-10.5 of the
8 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act incurs the tax imposed by this
9 Act on the purchase. If, on any transaction, the retailer is
10 entitled under this Act to a discount for collecting and
11 remitting the tax imposed under this Act to the Department,
12 the right to the discount provided in Section 9 of this Act
13 shall be transferred to the Permit holder. If the retailer
14 would not be entitled to a discount as provided in Section 9
15 of this Act, then the Permit holder is not entitled to a
16 discount.
17 (35 ILCS 105/3-45) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-45)
18 Sec. 3-45. Collection. The tax imposed by this Act
19 shall be collected from the purchaser by a retailer
20 maintaining a place of business in this State or a retailer
21 authorized by the Department under Section 6 of this Act, and
22 shall be remitted to the Department as provided in Section 9
23 of this Act, except as provided in Section 3-10.5 of this
24 Act.
25 The tax imposed by this Act that is not paid to a
26 retailer under this Section shall be paid to the Department
27 directly by any person using the property within this State
28 as provided in Section 10 of this Act.
29 Retailers shall collect the tax from users by adding the
30 tax to the selling price of tangible personal property, when
31 sold for use, in the manner prescribed by the Department.
32 The Department may adopt and promulgate reasonable rules and
33 regulations for the adding of the tax by retailers to selling
-3- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 prices by prescribing bracket systems for the purpose of
2 enabling the retailers to add and collect, as far as
3 practicable, the amount of the tax.
4 If a seller collects use tax measured by receipts that
5 are not subject to use tax, or if a seller, in collecting use
6 tax measured by receipts that are subject to tax under this
7 Act, collects more from the purchaser than the required
8 amount of the use tax on the transaction, the purchaser shall
9 have a legal right to claim a refund of that amount from the
10 seller. If, however, that amount is not refunded to the
11 purchaser for any reason, the seller is liable to pay that
12 amount to the Department. This paragraph does not apply to
13 an amount collected by the seller as use tax on receipts that
14 are subject to tax under this Act as long as the collection
15 is made in compliance with the tax collection brackets
16 prescribed by the Department in its rules and regulations.

17 Sec. 2-10.5. Direct payment program; purchaser's
18 providing of permit to retailer; retailer relieved of
19 collecting use tax and local retailers' occupation tax
20 reimbursements from purchaser; direct payment of retailers'
21 occupation tax and local retailers' occupation tax by
22 purchaser.
23 (a) Beginning on July 1, 2001 there is established in
24 this State a Direct Payment Program to be administered by the
25 Department. The Department shall issue a Direct Pay Permit
26 to applicants who have been approved to participate in the
27 Direct Payment Program. Each person applying to participate
28 in the Direct Payment Program must demonstrate (1) the
29 applicant's ability to comply with the retailers' occupation
30 tax laws and the use tax laws in effect in this State and
31 that the applicant's accounting system will reflect the
32 proper amount of tax due, (2) that the applicant has a valid
33 business purpose for participating in the Direct Payment
-23- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 Program, and (3) how the applicant's participation in the
2 Direct Payment Program will benefit tax compliance.
3 Application shall be made on forms provided by the Department
4 and shall contain information as the Department may
5 reasonably require. The Department shall approve or deny an
6 applicant within 90 days after the Department's receipt of
7 the application, unless the Department makes a written
8 request for additional information from the applicant.
9 (b) A person who has been approved for the Direct
10 Payment Program and who has been issued a Direct Pay Permit
11 by the Department is relieved of paying tax to a retailer
12 when purchasing tangible personal property for use or
13 consumption, except as provided in subsection (d), by
14 providing that retailer a copy of that Direct Pay Permit. A
15 retailer who accepts a copy of a customer's Direct Pay Permit
16 is relieved of the obligation to remit the tax imposed by
17 this Act on the transaction. References in this Section to
18 "the tax imposed by this Act" include any local occupation
19 taxes administered by the Department that would be incurred
20 on the retail sale.
21 (c) Once the holder of a Direct Pay Permit uses that
22 Permit to relieve the Permit holder from paying tax to a
23 particular retailer, the holder must use its Permit for all
24 purchases, except as provided in subsection (d), from that
25 retailer for so long as the Permit is valid.
26 (d) Direct Pay Permits are not valid and shall not be
27 used for sales or purchases of:
28 (1) food or beverage;
29 (2) tangible personal property required to be
30 titled or registered with an agency of government; or
31 (3) any transactions subject to the Service
32 Occupation Tax Act or Service Use Tax Act.
33 (e) Direct Pay Permits are not assignable and are not
34 transferable. As an illustration, a construction contractor
-24- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 shall not make purchases using a customer's Direct Pay
2 Permit.
3 (f) A Direct Pay Permit is valid until it is revoked by
4 the Department or until the holder notifies the Department in
5 writing that the holder is withdrawing from the Direct
6 Payment Program. A Direct Pay Permit can be revoked by the
7 Department, after notice and hearing, if the holder violates
8 any provision of this Act, any provision of the Illinois Use
9 Tax Act, or any provision of any Act imposing a local
10 retailers' occupation tax administered by the Department.
11 (g) The holder of a Direct Pay Permit who has been
12 relieved of paying tax to a retailer on a purchase for use or
13 consumption by representing to that retailer that it would
14 pay all applicable taxes directly to the Department shall pay
15 those taxes to the Department not later than the 20th day of
16 the month following the month in which the purchase was made.
17 Permit holders making such purchases are subject to all
18 provisions of this Act, and the tax must be reported and paid
19 as retailers' occupation tax in the same manner that the
20 retailer from whom the purchases were made would have
21 reported and paid it, including any local retailers'
22 occupation taxes applicable to that retail sale.
23 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, Permit
24 holders shall make all payments to the Department through the
25 use of electronic funds transfer.

4 integrated manufacturing or assembly process; including
5 computers used primarily in a manufacturer's operating
6 exempt machinery and equipment in a computer assisted
7 design, computer assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system;
8 any subunit or assembly comprising a component of any

12 replacement in the course of normal operation; but does
13 not include hand tools.
14 The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment
15 exemption includes the sale of materials to a purchaser who

20 manufactures those materials into an exempted type of
21 machinery, equipment, or tools that the purchaser uses
22 himself or herself in the manufacturing of tangible personal

27 registration number shall furnish to the seller a certificate
28 of exemption for each transaction stating facts establishing
29 the exemption for that transaction, and that certificate
30 shall be available to the Department for inspection or audit.

3 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
4 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
5 the return for October, November and December of a given year
6 being due by January 20 of the following year.
7 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
8 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
9 liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
10 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
11 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
12 20 of the following year.
13 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
14 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
15 monthly returns.
16 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
17 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
18 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
19 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
20 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
21 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
22 month after discontinuing such business.
23 Where the same person has more than one business
24 registered with the Department under separate registrations
25 under this Act, such person may not file each return that is
26 due as a single return covering all such registered
27 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
28 registered business.
29 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
30 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
31 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
32 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
33 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
34 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
-32- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 personal property which the retailer sells, except that if,
2 in the same transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft,
3 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
4 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
5 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer
6 retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of
7 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
8 more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
9 to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
10 provided in Section 2-5 of this Act, then that seller may
11 report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor
12 vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
13 Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
14 return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft"
15 means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in
16 Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a
17 personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard
18 motor.
19 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
20 aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
21 an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation
22 tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
23 such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
24 required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
25 monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
26 be required to file returns on an annual basis.
27 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
28 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
29 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
30 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois
31 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
32 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
33 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
34 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
-33- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
2 if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
3 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
4 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
5 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
6 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
7 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
8 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
9 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
10 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
11 the property sold; such other information as is required in
12 Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
13 information as the Department may reasonably require.
14 The transaction reporting return in the case of
15 watercraft or aircraft 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, and such other information as the
30 Department may reasonably require.
31 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
32 later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
33 is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time
34 sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction
-34- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 reporting return and tax remittance or proof of exemption
2 from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the
3 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
4 officer with whom the tangible personal property must be
5 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
6 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
7 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
8 applications for title or registration.
9 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
10 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
11 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
12 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
13 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
14 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
15 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
16 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
17 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
18 personal property that is involved (if titling or
19 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
20 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
21 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
22 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
23 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
24 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
25 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
26 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
27 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
28 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
29 mandate of this paragraph.
30 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
31 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
32 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department
33 before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
34 user has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may
-35- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
2 (upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such
3 certification) transmit the information required by the
4 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
5 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
6 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
7 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
8 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
9 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
10 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
11 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
12 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
13 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
14 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
15 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
16 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal
17 property returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a
18 deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly
19 return, as the case may be, in case the seller had
20 theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
21 tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had
22 paid the tax imposed by this Act with respect to such
23 receipts.
24 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
25 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
26 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
27 accredited agent of such corporation.
28 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
29 return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
30 be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
31 of the limited liability company.
32 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
33 the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing
34 such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed
-36- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 by this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990
2 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
3 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
4 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
5 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
6 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made
7 pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
8 amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In
9 the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
10 transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
11 Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
12 remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
13 return.
14 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
15 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
16 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
17 Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
18 remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
19 $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
20 quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
21 month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
22 during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
23 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
24 and last day of the month during which such liability is
25 incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
26 average monthly tax liability to the Department under this
27 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
28 Service Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid
29 sales tax to be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of
30 this Act, was $20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
31 calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
32 each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
33 month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
34 make payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
-37- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
2 incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is
3 incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
4 be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
5 liability for the month or an amount set by the Department
6 not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability of the
7 taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
8 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability
9 and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
10 If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
11 begins on or after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1,
12 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
13 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
14 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
15 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
16 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
17 January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
18 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
19 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
20 month of the preceding year. If the month during which such
21 tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
22 and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
23 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
24 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
25 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
26 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
27 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior to
28 January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
29 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
30 of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
31 the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
32 for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount of such
33 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
34 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
-38- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
2 the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
3 taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
4 or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
5 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
6 the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
7 quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
8 month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
9 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
10 computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding
11 complete calendar quarter period is less than $10,000.
12 However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
13 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
14 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
15 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
16 will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
17 taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
18 taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000,
19 once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
20 monthly payments to the Department by taxpayers having an
21 average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or more as
22 determined in the manner provided above shall continue until
23 such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department
24 during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding
25 the month of highest liability and the month of lowest
26 liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
27 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
28 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
29 quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer
30 can show the Department that a substantial change in the
31 taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to
32 anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
33 reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
34 threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
-39- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
2 The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
3 unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and
4 not likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly
5 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
6 this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
7 and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
8 as a payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
9 actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has
10 previously made payments for that month to the Department in
11 excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in
12 this Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
13 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
14 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
15 than a calendar monthly basis.
16 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
17 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
18 make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any
19 taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect
20 and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which
21 average in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2
22 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the
23 Department as required by Section 2f and shall make payments
24 to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
25 day of the month during which such liability is incurred. If
26 the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
27 prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
28 each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
29 taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
30 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
31 after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount
32 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
33 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
34 calendar month of the preceding calendar year. If the month
-40- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
2 after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
3 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
4 month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
5 calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of such
6 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
7 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
8 under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
9 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
10 payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
11 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
12 collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
13 is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly payment is
14 not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
15 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
16 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
17 made payments for that month in excess of the minimum
18 payments previously due.
19 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
20 October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
21 required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
22 any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
23 collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
24 taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the
25 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
26 with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
27 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
28 and last day of the month during which the liability is
29 incurred. Each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5%
30 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of
31 the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
32 preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
33 shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
34 taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
-41- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
2 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
3 Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
4 the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
5 the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
6 month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
7 is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
8 liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
9 quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
10 than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not
11 paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
12 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
13 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
14 made payments for that month in excess of the minimum
15 payments previously due.
16 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
17 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
18 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
19 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
20 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
21 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment.
22 The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be
23 assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this
24 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
25 Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
26 regulations to be prescribed by the Department. If no such
27 request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
28 against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the
29 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
30 Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance
31 with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by the
32 Department. If the Department subsequently determined that
33 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
34 the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
-42- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between
2 the credit taken and that actually due, and that taxpayer
3 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
4 difference.
5 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
6 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
7 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
8 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
9 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
10 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
11 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund
12 in the State treasury which is hereby created, the net
13 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on
14 sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed
15 off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic
16 beverages, soft drinks and food which has been prepared for
17 immediate consumption) and prescription and nonprescription
18 medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
19 testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
20 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
21 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a
22 special fund in the State treasury which is hereby created,
23 4% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from
24 the 6.25% general rate.
25 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
26 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the
27 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
28 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
29 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
30 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
31 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
32 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
33 property.
34 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
-43- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue
2 realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the
3 selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
4 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
5 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
6 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
7 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
8 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
9 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
10 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
11 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
12 to this Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the
13 Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation
14 Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called the "Tax Acts"
15 and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case may be, of
16 moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2)
17 the amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the
18 State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be less than the
19 Annual Specified Amount (as hereinafter defined), an amount
20 equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into the
21 Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the
22 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; the "Annual Specified
23 Amount" means the amounts specified below for fiscal years
24 1986 through 1993:
25 Fiscal Year Annual Specified Amount
26 1986 $54,800,000
27 1987 $76,650,000
28 1988 $80,480,000
29 1989 $88,510,000
30 1990 $115,330,000
31 1991 $145,470,000
32 1992 $182,730,000
33 1993 $206,520,000;
34 and means the Certified Annual Debt Service Requirement (as
-44- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 defined in Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act) or the
2 Tax Act Amount, whichever is greater, for fiscal year 1994
3 and each fiscal year thereafter; and further provided, that
4 if on the last business day of any month the sum of (1) the
5 Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into the Build
6 Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such
7 month and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
8 Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall
9 have been less than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an
10 amount equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into
11 the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the
12 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided,
13 that in no event shall the payments required under the
14 preceding proviso result in aggregate payments into the Build
15 Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year
16 in excess of the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii)
17 the Annual Specified Amount for such fiscal year. The
18 amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under clause (b)
19 of the first sentence in this paragraph shall be payable only
20 until such time as the aggregate amount on deposit under each
21 trust indenture securing Bonds issued and outstanding
22 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking
23 into account any future investment income, to fully provide,
24 in accordance with such indenture, for the defeasance of or
25 the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
26 interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and on any
27 Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees and costs

11 be, on the selling price of tangible personal property which
12 amount shall, subject to appropriation, be distributed as
13 provided in Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act. No
14 payments or distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be

16 products is declared unconstitutional, or if the proceeds
17 from such tax are unavailable for distribution because of
18 litigation.
19 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois
20 Fund, the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund, and the
21 Local Government Distributive Fund pursuant to the preceding

25 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
26 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
27 property.
28 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
29 pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the
30 State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
31 and used only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as
32 part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
33 accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
34 The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
-48- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
2 Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
3 less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
4 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
5 Such annual return to the Department shall include a
6 statement of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last
7 Federal income tax return. If the total receipts of the
8 business as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
9 agree with the gross receipts reported to the Department of
10 Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach to his
11 annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
12 amounts and the reasons for the difference. The retailer's
13 annual return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
14 of goods sold by the retailer during the year covered by such
15 return, opening and closing inventories of such goods for
16 such year, costs of goods used from stock or taken from stock
17 and given away by the retailer during such year, payroll
18 information of the retailer's business during such year and
19 any additional reasonable information which the Department
20 deems would be helpful in determining the accuracy of the
21 monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by such retailer
22 as provided for in this Section.
23 If the annual information return required by this Section
24 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be
25 liable as follows:
26 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
27 liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
28 from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
29 covered by the annual return for each month or fraction
30 of a month until such return is filed as required, the
31 penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner
32 as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
33 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer
34 shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
-49- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
2 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
3 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
4 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person
5 who willfully signs the annual return containing false or
6 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and
7 punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by
8 the Department shall include a warning that the person
9 signing the return may be liable for perjury.
10 The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of
11 an annual information return do not apply to a retailer who
12 is not required to file an income tax return with the United
13 States Government.
14 As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
15 upon certification of the Department of Revenue, the
16 Comptroller shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall
17 transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
18 Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue
19 realized under this Act for the second preceding month.
20 Beginning April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
21 and shall not be made.
22 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
23 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
24 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
25 overpayment of liability.
26 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
27 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
28 in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
29 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
30 Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to
31 such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make
32 written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
33 Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail
34 selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers
-50- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
2 local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions
3 or events, including any transient merchant as defined by
4 Section 2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required
5 to file a report with the Department providing the name of
6 the merchant's business, the name of the person or persons
7 engaged in merchant's business, the permanent address and
8 Illinois Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the
9 merchant, the dates and location of the event and other
10 reasonable information that the Department may require. The
11 report must be filed not later than the 20th day of the month
12 next following the month during which the event with retail
13 sales was held. Any person who fails to file a report
14 required by this Section commits a business offense and is
15 subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
16 Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible
17 personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
18 of seller at the Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art
19 shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
20 transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
21 Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
22 of the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a
23 daily payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department
24 shall impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
25 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
26 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on
27 evidence that a substantial number of concessionaires or
28 other sellers who are not residents of Illinois will be
29 engaging in the business of selling tangible personal
30 property at retail at the exhibition or event, or other
31 evidence of a significant risk of loss of revenue to the
32 State. The Department shall notify concessionaires and other
33 sellers affected by the imposition of this requirement. In
34 the absence of notification by the Department, the
-51- LRB9205821SMdvam07
1 concessionaires and other sellers shall file their returns as
2 otherwise required in this Section.
