24 distributed to municipalities as provided in this paragraph.
25 Each municipality shall receive the amount attributable to

28 municipality. The remainder of the money paid into the Local

12 Section 10. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
13 Section 3-10 as follows:

16 this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
17 6.25% of either the selling price or the fair market value,
18 if any, of the tangible personal property. In all cases
19 where property functionally used or consumed is the same as
20 the property that was purchased at retail, then the tax is
21 imposed on the selling price of the property. In all cases
22 where property functionally used or consumed is a by-product

29 property would change hands between a willing buyer and a
30 willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
31 sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant
32 facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
SB209 Engrossed -8- LRB9204110SMdvA

28 cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
29 other preparations commonly known as soft drinks of whatever

10 Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
11 taxable under this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax
12 is computed shall be reduced by an amount that represents a
13 reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
14 out-of-state use.
