 9        Sec.   9.  Except   as  to  motor  vehicles,  watercraft,
10    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
11    with  an  agency  of  this  State,  each retailer required or
12    authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act  shall  pay
13    to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
14    provided)  at the time when he is required to file his return
15    for the period during which such tax was  collected,  less  a
16    discount  of  2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
17    after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever  is
18    greater,  which  is  allowed  to  reimburse  the retailer for
19    expenses incurred in collecting  the  tax,  keeping  records,
20    preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
21    data  to the Department on request.  In the case of retailers
22    who report and pay the tax on a  transaction  by  transaction
23    basis,  as  provided  in this Section, such discount shall be
24    taken with each such tax  remittance  instead  of  when  such
25    retailer  files  his  periodic  return.   A retailer need not
26    remit that part of any tax collected by  him  to  the  extent
27    that  he  is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
28    by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,  with  respect  to  the
29    sale of the same property.
30        Where  such  tangible  personal  property is sold under a
31    conditional sales contract, or under any other form  of  sale
32    wherein  the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
 
                            -6-                LRB9205953SMdv

 2    return  is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
 3    as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
 4    are required to be registered with an agency of this  State),
 5    may  collect  for  each  tax  return  period,  only  the  tax
 6    applicable  to  that  part  of  the  selling  price  actually
 7    received during such tax return period.
 8        Except  as  provided  in  this  Section, on or before the
 9    twentieth day of each calendar  month,  such  retailer  shall
10    file  a return for the preceding calendar month.  Such return
11    shall be filed on forms  prescribed  by  the  Department  and
12    shall   furnish   such  information  as  the  Department  may
13    reasonably require.
14        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
15    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar

17    calendar  month  following  the end of such calendar quarter.
18    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
19    each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on  or

22             1.  The name of the seller;
23             2.  The address of the principal place  of  business
24        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
25        personal property at retail in this State;
26             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
27        him  during  the  preceding  calendar month from sales of
28        tangible personal property by him during  such  preceding
29        calendar  month,  including receipts from charge and time
30        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
31             4.  The amount of credit provided in Section  2d  of
32        this Act;
33             5.  The amount of tax due;
34             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
 
                            -7-                LRB9205953SMdv
 1             6.  Such   other   reasonable   information  as  the
 2        Department may require.
 3        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
 4    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,

18    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the

25    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
26    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by

                            -8-                LRB9205953SMdv
 1    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
 2    to  make  payments  by  electronic  funds transfer shall make
 3    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
 4    1.
 5        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic
 6    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
 7    with the permission of the Department.
 8        All  taxpayers  required  to  make  payment by electronic
 9    funds transfer and any taxpayers  authorized  to  voluntarily

 9    However,  if  a  taxpayer  can  show  the  Department  that a
10    substantial change in the taxpayer's  business  has  occurred
11    which  causes  the  taxpayer  to  anticipate that his average
12    monthly tax liability for the reasonably  foreseeable  future
13    will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
14    taxpayer  may  petition  the  Department  for  change in such
15    taxpayer's reporting status. On and after  October  1,  2000,
16    once  applicable,  the  requirement  of the making of quarter
17    monthly payments to the Department shall continue until  such
18    taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
19    the  preceding  4  complete  calendar quarters (excluding the
20    month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
21    is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
22    liability to the Department as  computed  for  each  calendar
23    quarter  of  the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
24    is less than $20,000.  However, if a taxpayer  can  show  the
25    Department  that  a  substantial  change  in  the  taxpayer's
26    business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
27    that  his  average  monthly  tax liability for the reasonably
28    foreseeable future will  fall  below  the  $20,000  threshold
29    stated  above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department
30    for a change  in  such  taxpayer's  reporting  status.    The
31    Department  shall  change  such  taxpayer's  reporting status
32    unless it finds that such change is seasonal  in  nature  and
33    not  likely  to  be  long  term.  If any such quarter monthly
34    payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required  by
 
                            -11-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
 2    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
 3    and  the  amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and
 4    timely paid, except insofar as the  taxpayer  has  previously
 5    made  payments  for that month to the Department in excess of
 6    the minimum payments  previously  due  as  provided  in  this
 7    Section.    The  Department  shall  make reasonable rules and
 8    regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount  and
 9    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
10    than a calendar monthly basis.
11        If  any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
12    the taxpayer's liabilities under  this  Act,  the  Retailers'
13    Occupation  Tax  Act,  the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
14    Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly  return,
15    the   Department   shall  issue  to  the  taxpayer  a  credit
16    memorandum no later than 30 days after the date  of  payment,
17    which  memorandum  may  be  submitted  by the taxpayer to the
18    Department in payment of tax  liability  subsequently  to  be
19    remitted  by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
20    the taxpayer to  a  similar  taxpayer  under  this  Act,  the
21    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
22    or  the  Service  Use  Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
23    rules and regulations to be  prescribed  by  the  Department,
24    except  that  if  such excess payment is shown on an original
25    monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
26    memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
27    If no such request is made,  the  taxpayer  may  credit  such
28    excess  payment  against  tax  liability  subsequently  to be
29    remitted by the taxpayer to the Department  under  this  Act,
30    the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
31    Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
32    rules  and  regulations prescribed by the Department.  If the
33    Department subsequently determines that all or  any  part  of
34    the  credit  taken  was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
 
                            -12-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall  be  reduced
 2    by  2.1%  or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
 3    and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be  liable  for
 4    penalties and interest on such difference.
 5        If  the  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
 6    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
 7    the Department does  not  exceed  $200,  the  Department  may
 8    authorize  his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
 9    with the return for January, February, and March of  a  given
10    year  being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
11    April, May and June of a given year being due by July  20  of
12    such  year; with the return for July, August and September of
13    a given year being due by October 20 of such year,  and  with
14    the return for October, November and December of a given year
15    being due by January 20 of the following year.
16        If  the  retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
17    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
18    liability  to  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50,   the
19    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
20    basis,  with the return for a given year being due by January
21    20 of the following year.
22        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
23    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
24    monthly returns.
25        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
26    concerning  the  time  within  which  a retailer may file his
27    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
28    kind of business  which  makes  him  responsible  for  filing
29    returns  under  this  Act,  such  retailer shall file a final
30    return under this Act with the Department not more  than  one
31    month after discontinuing such business.
32        In  addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
33    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
34    with  an  agency  of  this State, every retailer selling this
 
                            -13-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    kind of tangible  personal  property  shall  file,  with  the
 2    Department,  upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
 3    Department, a separate return for each such item of  tangible
 4    personal  property  which the retailer sells, except that if,
 5    in  the  same  transaction,  (i)  a  retailer  of   aircraft,
 6    watercraft,  motor  vehicles  or trailers transfers more than
 7    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
 8    aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer  retailer  for
 9    the  purpose  of  resale  or  (ii)  a  retailer  of aircraft,
10    watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers  more  than
11    one  aircraft,  watercraft,  motor  vehicle,  or trailer to a
12    purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock  as  provided
13    in  Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may report the
14    transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor  vehicles  or
15    trailers  involved  in  that transaction to the Department on
16    the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting  return  form.
17    For  purposes  of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
18    Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section  3-2  of
19    the  Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft,
20    or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
21        The transaction reporting return in  the  case  of  motor
22    vehicles  or trailers that are required to be registered with
23    an agency of this State, shall be the same  document  as  the
24    Uniform  Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
25    Vehicle Code and must  show  the  name  and  address  of  the
26    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
27    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
28    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
29    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
30    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
31    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
32    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
33    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
34    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
 
                            -14-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
 2    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
 3    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
 4    place  and  date  of the sale; a sufficient identification of
 5    the property sold; such other information as is  required  in
 6    Section  5-402  of  the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
 7    information as the Department may reasonably require.
 8        The  transaction  reporting  return  in   the   case   of
 9    watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
10    seller;  the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
11    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
12    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
13    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
14    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
15    an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
16    payable after deducting  such  trade-in  allowance  from  the
17    total  selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
18    with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
19    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
20    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
21    particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);  the
22    place  and  date  of the sale, a sufficient identification of
23    the  property  sold,  and  such  other  information  as   the
24    Department may reasonably require.
25        Such  transaction  reporting  return  shall  be filed not
26    later than 20 days after the date of  delivery  of  the  item
27    that  is  being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any
28    time  sooner  than  that  if  he  chooses  to  do  so.    The
29    transaction  reporting  return and tax remittance or proof of
30    exemption from the tax that is imposed by  this  Act  may  be
31    transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
32    which,  or  State  officer  with  whom, the tangible personal
33    property  must  be  titled  or  registered  (if  titling   or
34    registration  is  required) if the Department and such agency
 
                            -15-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    or State officer determine that this procedure will  expedite
 2    the processing of applications for title or registration.
 3        With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
 4    shall  remit  the  proper  amount of tax due (or shall submit
 5    satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
 6    the case), to the Department or  its  agents,  whereupon  the
 7    Department  shall  issue,  in  the  purchaser's  name,  a tax
 8    receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the  Department  is
 9    satisfied  that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
10    purchaser may submit to  the  agency  with  which,  or  State
11    officer  with  whom,  he  must title or register the tangible
12    personal  property  that   is   involved   (if   titling   or
13    registration  is  required)  in  support  of such purchaser's
14    application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence  of
15    title or registration to such tangible personal property.
16        No  retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
17    Act precludes a user, who has paid  the  proper  tax  to  the
18    retailer,  from  obtaining  his certificate of title or other
19    evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
20    is required) upon satisfying the Department  that  such  user
21    has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer.  The
22    Department  shall  adopt  appropriate  rules to carry out the
23    mandate of this paragraph.
24        If the user who would otherwise pay tax to  the  retailer
25    wants  the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
26    of tax or proof of exemption made to  the  Department  before
27    the  retailer  is willing to take these actions and such user
28    has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user  may  certify
29    to  the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the
30    Department   being   satisfied   of   the   truth   of   such
31    certification)  transmit  the  information  required  by  the
32    transaction reporting return and the remittance  for  tax  or
33    proof  of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
34    tax receipt or exemption determination, in  which  event  the
 
                            -16-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    transaction  reporting  return  and  tax remittance (if a tax
 2    payment was required) shall be credited by the Department  to
 3    the  proper  retailer's  account  with  the  Department,  but
 4    without  the  2.1%  or  1.75%  discount  provided for in this
 5    Section being allowed.  When the user pays the  tax  directly
 6    to  the  Department,  he shall pay the tax in the same amount
 7    and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
 8    had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
 9        Where a retailer collects the tax  with  respect  to  the
10    selling  price  of  tangible personal property which he sells
11    and the purchaser thereafter returns such  tangible  personal
12    property  and  the retailer refunds the selling price thereof
13    to the purchaser, such retailer shall  also  refund,  to  the
14    purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected  from the purchaser. When
15    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
16    to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount  of  the
17    tax  so  refunded  by him to the purchaser from any other use
18    tax which such retailer may be required to pay  or  remit  to
19    the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
20    tax  to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department
21    by  such  retailer.   If  the  retailer  has  not  previously
22    remitted the amount of such tax  to  the  Department,  he  is
23    entitled  to  no deduction under this Act upon refunding such
24    tax to the purchaser.
25        Any retailer filing a return  under  this  Section  shall
26    also  include  (for  the  purpose  of paying tax thereon) the
27    total tax covered by such return upon the  selling  price  of
28    tangible  personal property purchased by him at retail from a
29    retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
30    collected from the retailer  filing  such  return,  and  such
31    retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
32    when filing such return.
33        If  experience  indicates  such action to be practicable,
34    the Department may prescribe and  furnish  a  combination  or
 
                            -17-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
 2    file   returns   hereunder  and  also  under  the  Retailers'
 3    Occupation Tax Act, to furnish  all  the  return  information
 4    required by both Acts on the one form.
 5        Where  the retailer has more than one business registered
 6    with the Department under separate  registration  under  this
 7    Act,  such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
 8    single return covering all such  registered  businesses,  but
 9    shall   file   separate  returns  for  each  such  registered
10    business.
11        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
12    shall  pay  into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
13    special fund in the State Treasury which is  hereby  created,
14    the  net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%
15    tax on sales of food for human consumption  which  is  to  be
16    consumed  off  the  premises  where  it  is  sold (other than
17    alcoholic beverages, soft drinks  and  food  which  has  been
18    prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription and
19    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
20    insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and  needles  used
21    by diabetics.
22        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
23    shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District  Fund  4%
24    of  the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
25    6.25% general rate on the selling price of tangible  personal
26    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
27    retailer  and  which  is titled or registered by an agency of
28    this State's government.
29        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
30    shall  pay  into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
31    special fund in the State Treasury, 20% of  the  net  revenue
32    realized  for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
33    on the selling price of  tangible  personal  property,  other
34    than  tangible  personal  property which is purchased outside

 1    Illinois at retail from a retailer and  which  is  titled  or
 2    registered by an agency of this State's government.
 3        Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
 4    pay  into  the  State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of
 5    the net revenue realized for the  preceding  month  from  the
 6    1.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
 7        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 8    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of  the  net
 9    revenue  realized  for  the  preceding  month  from the 6.25%
10    general rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible  personal
11    property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
12    retailer  and  which  is titled or registered by an agency of
13    this State's government.
14        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
15    pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall  be  paid  into
16    the  Build  Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
17    and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8%  thereof  shall  be  paid
18    into  the  Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
19    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
20    as the case may be, of the moneys received by the  Department
21    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
22    to  Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9
23    of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
24    Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts  being
25    hereinafter  called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
26    or 3.8%, as the case may  be,  of  moneys  being  hereinafter
27    called  the  "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
28    to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
29    Reform Fund shall be less than the  Annual  Specified  Amount
30    (as  defined  in  Section  3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
31    Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be  immediately
32    paid  into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
33    by the Department pursuant  to  the  Tax  Acts;  and  further
34    provided,  that  if on the last business day of any month the
 
                            -19-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be  deposited  into

 4    month  to  the  Build  Illinois Fund from the State and Local
 5    Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12  of  the
 6    Annual  Specified  Amount,  an amount equal to the difference
 7    shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois  Fund  from
 8    other  moneys  received by the Department pursuant to the Tax
 9    Acts; and, further provided,  that  in  no  event  shall  the
10    payments  required  under  the  preceding  proviso  result in
11    aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund  pursuant  to
12    this  clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater
13    of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
14    for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
15    payable into the Build Illinois Fund under  this  clause  (b)
16    shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
17    on  deposit  under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued
18    and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois  Bond  Act  is
19    sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
20    to  fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the
21    defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
22    any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture  and
23    on  any  Bonds  expected to be issued thereafter and all fees
24    and costs payable with respect thereto, all as  certified  by
25    the  Director  of  the  Bureau of the Budget.  If on the last
26    business day of any month  in  which  Bonds  are  outstanding
27    pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
28    moneys  deposited  in  the Build Illinois Bond Account in the

31    Build Illinois  Bond  Account  to  the  Build  Illinois  Bond
32    Retirement  and  Interest  Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the

 1    Department pursuant to the Tax Acts  to  the  Build  Illinois

 5    of  the  preceding  sentence  and  shall  reduce  the  amount

22    collect the tax herein imposed shall pay  to  the  Department
23    the  amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the
24    time when he is required to file his return  for  the  period

28    allowed  to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in
29    collecting the tax, keeping  records,  preparing  and  filing
30    returns,   remitting  the  tax  and  supplying  data  to  the
31    Department on request. A serviceman need not remit that  part

 3    incidental transfer by him of the same property.
 4        Except as provided hereinafter in  this  Section,  on  or
 5    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
 6    serviceman  shall  file  a  return for the preceding calendar
 7    month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations  to
 8    be  promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed
 9    on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
10    information as the Department may reasonably require.
11        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
12    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar
13    quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of  the
14    calendar  month  following  the end of such calendar quarter.
15    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
16    each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on  or
17    before  the  twentieth  day  of the following calendar month,
18    stating:

20             2.  The address of the principal place  of  business
21        from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
22        State;
23             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
24        him   during  the  preceding  calendar  month,  including
25        receipts  from  charge  and  time  sales,  but  less  all
26        deductions allowed by law;
27             4.  The amount of credit provided in Section  2d  of
28        this Act;
29             5.  The amount of tax due;
30             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
31             6.  Such   other   reasonable   information  as  the
32        Department may require.
33        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
34    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,

 2    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
 3        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
 4    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
 5    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
 6    funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1994,  a  taxpayer  who
 7    has  an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $100,000 or more
 8    shall make all payments required by rules of  the  Department
 9    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a
10    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
11    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
12    Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
13    2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of  $200,000
14    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
15    Department by electronic funds transfer.   The  term  "annual
16    tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
17    under   this  Act,  and  under  all  other  State  and  local
18    occupation and use tax laws administered by  the  Department,
19    for  the  immediately  preceding  calendar  year.    The term
20    "average  monthly  tax  liability"  means  the  sum  of   the
21    taxpayer's  liabilities  under  this Act, and under all other
22    State and local occupation and use tax laws  administered  by
23    the  Department,  for the immediately preceding calendar year
24    divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a  taxpayer  who
25    has a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b)
26    of  Section  2505-210  of the Department of Revenue Law shall
27    make all payments required by  rules  of  the  Department  by
28    electronic funds transfer.
29        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
30    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
31    payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
32    to make payments by  electronic  funds  transfer  shall  make
33    those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
34    1.
 
                            -26-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
 2    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
 3    with the permission of the Department.
 4        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
 5    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
 6    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
 7    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
 8        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
 9    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
10    requirements of this Section.
11        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
12    return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax  liability
13    to  the  Department  does not exceed $200, the Department may
14    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
15    with  the  return  for January, February and March of a given
16    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
17    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
18    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
19    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
20    the return for October, November and December of a given year
21    being due by January 20 of the following year.
22        If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
23    or quarterly return and if the serviceman's  average  monthly
24    tax  liability  to  the  Department  does not exceed $50, the
25    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
26    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
27    20 of the following year.
28        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
29    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
30    monthly returns.
31        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
32    concerning the time within which a serviceman  may  file  his
33    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
34    a  kind  of  business  which makes him responsible for filing
 
                            -27-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    returns under this Act, such serviceman shall  file  a  final
 2    return  under  this  Act  with the Department not more than 1
 3    month after discontinuing such business.
 4        Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect  to  the
 5    selling  price  of  property which he sells and the purchaser
 6    thereafter returns such property and the  serviceman  refunds
 7    the  selling  price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
 8    shall also refund, to the purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected
 9    from  the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in
10    which he refunds such tax to the  purchaser,  the  serviceman
11    may  deduct  the  amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
12    purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service  Occupation
13    Tax,   retailers'  occupation  tax  or  use  tax  which  such
14    serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
15    as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the  tax
16    to  be  deducted  shall  previously have been remitted to the
17    Department by such serviceman. If the  serviceman  shall  not
18    previously  have  remitted  the  amount  of  such  tax to the
19    Department, he shall be entitled to  no  deduction  hereunder
20    upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
21        Any  serviceman  filing  a  return  hereunder  shall also
22    include the total tax upon  the  selling  price  of  tangible
23    personal  property purchased for use by him as an incident to
24    a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
25    of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
26        If experience indicates such action  to  be  practicable,
27    the  Department  may  prescribe  and furnish a combination or
28    joint return which will enable servicemen, who  are  required
29    to   file  returns  hereunder  and  also  under  the  Service
30    Occupation Tax Act, to furnish  all  the  return  information
31    required by both Acts on the one form.
32        Where   the   serviceman   has  more  than  one  business
33    registered with the Department  under  separate  registration
34    hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
 
                            -28-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    due   as   a  single  return  covering  all  such  registered
 2    businesses, but shall file separate  returns  for  each  such
 3    registered business.
 4        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 5    shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
 6    fund in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for  the
 7    preceding  month  from  the 1% tax on sales of food for human
 8    consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
 9    is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
10    which  has  been  prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and
11    prescription and nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical
12    appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
13    needles used by diabetics.
14        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
15    shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund  20%
16    of  the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
17    6.25%  general  rate  on  transfers  of   tangible   personal
18    property,  other  than  tangible  personal  property which is
19    purchased outside Illinois at  retail  from  a  retailer  and
20    which  is  titled  or registered by an agency of this State's
21    government.
22        Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
23    pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform  Fund  100%  of
24    the  net  revenue  realized  for the preceding month from the
25    1.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
26        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
27    pursuant to this Act, (a)  1.75% thereof shall be  paid  into
28    the  Build  Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
29    and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof  shall  be   paid
30    into  the  Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
31    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
32    as the case may be, of the moneys received by the  Department
33    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
34    to  Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9

 4    or 3.8%, as the case may  be,  of  moneys  being  hereinafter

23    aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund  pursuant  to
24    this  clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater
25    of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
26    for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
27    payable into the Build Illinois Fund under  this  clause  (b)

23        Sec.  9.   Each  serviceman  required  or  authorized  to
24    collect  the  tax  herein imposed shall pay to the Department
25    the amount of such tax at the time when  he  is  required  to

 1    request.
 2        Where such tangible personal property  is  sold  under  a
 3    conditional  sales  contract, or under any other form of sale
 4    wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part  thereof,
 5    is  extended  beyond  the  close  of the period for which the
 6    return is filed, the serviceman, in collecting  the  tax  may
 7    collect,  for each tax return period, only the tax applicable
 8    to the part of the selling  price  actually  received  during
 9    such tax return period.
10        Except  as  provided  hereinafter  in this Section, on or
11    before  the  twentieth  day  of  each  calendar  month,  such
12    serviceman shall file a return  for  the  preceding  calendar
13    month  in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
14    be promulgated by the Department of  Revenue.    Such  return
15    shall  be  filed  on  a form prescribed by the Department and
16    shall  contain  such  information  as  the   Department   may
17    reasonably require.
18        The  Department  may  require  returns  to  be filed on a
19    quarterly basis.  If so required, a return for each  calendar
20    quarter  shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
21    calendar month following the end of  such  calendar  quarter.
22    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
23    each  of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
24    before the twentieth day of  the  following  calendar  month,
25    stating:
26             1.  The name of the seller;

33        deductions allowed by law;
34             4.  The  amount  of credit provided in Section 2d of

 2             5.  The amount of tax due;
 3             5-5.  The signature of the taxpayer; and
 4             6.  Such  other  reasonable   information   as   the
 5        Department may require.
 6        If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
 7    the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
 8    the  return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
 9    be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
10        A serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase  Credit
11    certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
12    Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
13    the  purchaser  provides  the  appropriate  documentation  as
14    required  by  Section  3-70  of  the  Service Use Tax Act.  A
15    Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted  by  a
16    serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
17    Act,  may  be  used  by  that  serviceman  to satisfy Service
18    Occupation  Tax  liability  in  the  amount  claimed  in  the
19    certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
20    tax from a qualifying purchase.
21        If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to  the
22    Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
23    his  returns  to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
24    return for January, February and March of a given year  being
25    due  by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May
26    and June of a given year being due by July 20 of  such  year;

29    return  for  October,  November  and December of a given year
30    being due by January 20 of the following year.
31        If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to  the
32    Department  does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
33    his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with  the  return
34    for  a  given  year  being due by January 20 of the following
 
                            -36-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    year.
 2        Such quarter annual and annual returns, as  to  form  and
 3    substance,  shall  be  subject  to  the  same requirements as
 4    monthly returns.
 5        Notwithstanding  any  other   provision   in   this   Act
 6    concerning  the  time  within which a serviceman may file his
 7    return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
 8    a kind of business which makes  him  responsible  for  filing
 9    returns  under  this  Act, such serviceman shall file a final
10    return under this Act with the Department  not  more  than  1
11    month after discontinuing such business.
12        Beginning  October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
13    monthly tax liability of $150,000  or  more  shall  make  all
14    payments  required  by  rules of the Department by electronic
15    funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1994,  a  taxpayer  who
16    has  an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $100,000 or more
17    shall make all payments required by rules of  the  Department
18    by  electronic  funds transfer.  Beginning October 1, 1995, a
19    taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of  $50,000
20    or  more  shall  make  all  payments required by rules of the
21    Department by electronic funds transfer.   Beginning  October
22    1,  2000,  a  taxpayer  who  has  an  annual tax liability of
23    $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of
24    the  Department  by  electronic  funds  transfer.   The  term
25    "annual tax liability" shall be 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.  The
29    term  "average  monthly  tax  liability" means the sum of the
30    taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and  under  all  other
31    State  and  local occupation and use tax laws administered by
32    the Department, for the immediately preceding  calendar  year
33    divided  by  12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who
34    has a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b)
 
                            -37-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    of Section 2505-210 of the Department of  Revenue  Law  shall
 2    make  all  payments  required  by  rules of the Department by

 4        Before August 1 of  each  year  beginning  in  1993,  the
 5    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
 6    payments   by  electronic  funds  transfer.    All  taxpayers
 7    required to make payments by electronic funds transfer  shall
 8    make  those  payments  for a minimum of one year beginning on
 9    October 1.
10        Any taxpayer not required to make payments by  electronic
11    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
12    with the permission of the Department.
13        All  taxpayers  required  to  make  payment by electronic
14    funds transfer and any taxpayers  authorized  to  voluntarily
15    make  payments  by electronic funds transfer shall make those
16    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
17        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
18    effectuate a program of electronic  funds  transfer  and  the
19    requirements of this Section.
20        Where  a  serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
21    selling price of tangible personal property  which  he  sells
22    and  the  purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
23    property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
24    to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund,  to  the
25    purchaser,  the  tax  so  collected from the purchaser.  When
26    filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
27    to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
28    tax so refunded by  him  to  the  purchaser  from  any  other
29    Service   Occupation   Tax,   Service   Use  Tax,  Retailers'
30    Occupation Tax or  Use  Tax  which  such  serviceman  may  be
31    required  to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such
32    return, provided that the amount of the tax  to  be  deducted
33    shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
34    serviceman.   If  the  serviceman  shall  not previously have
 
                            -38-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    remitted the amount of such tax to the Department,  he  shall
 2    be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
 3    to the purchaser.
 4        If  experience  indicates  such action to be practicable,
 5    the Department may prescribe and  furnish  a  combination  or

24    Such  annual  return  to  the  Department  shall  include   a
25    statement  of  gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last
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 taxpayer shall attach to his
30    annual  return  a  schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
31    amounts and the reasons for the difference.   The  taxpayer's
32    annual  return to the Department shall also disclose the cost

 4    any additional reasonable information  which  the  Department
 5    deems  would  be  helpful  in determining the accuracy of the
 6    monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by  such  taxpayer
 7    as hereinbefore 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 foregoing portion  of  this  Section  concerning  the
30    filing  of  an annual information return shall not apply to a
31    serviceman who is not required to file an income  tax  return
32    with the United States Government.
33        As  soon  as  possible after the first day of each month,
34    upon  certification  of  the  Department  of   Revenue,   the

 2    transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel  Tax
 3    Fund  an  amount  equal  to  1.7%  of  80% of the net revenue
 4    realized under this  Act  for  the  second  preceding  month.
 5    Beginning  April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
 6    and shall not be made.
 7        Net revenue realized for a month  shall  be  the  revenue
 8    collected  by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
 9    paid out during  that  month  as  refunds  to  taxpayers  for
10    overpayment of liability.
11        For  greater  simplicity  of  administration, it shall be
12    permissible  for  manufacturers,  importers  and  wholesalers
13    whose products are sold by numerous servicemen  in  Illinois,
14    and  who  wish  to  do  so,  to assume the responsibility for
15    accounting and paying to  the  Department  all  tax  accruing
16    under  this Act with respect to such sales, if the servicemen
17    who are  affected  do  not  make  written  objection  to  the
18    Department to this arrangement.

 4    satisfy Retailers' Occupation Tax  liability  in  the  amount
 5    claimed  in  the  certification,  not  to exceed 6.25% of the
 6    receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase.
 7        The Department may require  returns  to  be  filed  on  a
 8    quarterly  basis.  If so required, a return for each calendar
 9    quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of  the
10    calendar  month  following  the end of such calendar quarter.
11    The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
12    each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on  or
13    before  the  twentieth  day  of the following calendar month,
14    stating:
15             1.  The name of the seller;
16             2.  The address of the principal place  of  business
17        from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
18        personal property at retail in this State;
19             3.  The total amount of taxable receipts received by
20        him  during  the  preceding  calendar month from sales of
21        tangible personal property by him during  such  preceding
22        calendar  month,  including receipts from charge and time
23        sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
24             4.  The amount of credit provided in Section  2d  of
25        this Act;
26             5.  The amount of tax due; and
27             6.  Such   other   reasonable   information  as  the
28        Department may require.
29        If a total amount of less than $1 is payable,  refundable
30    or creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less
31    than  50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents
32    or more.
33        Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an  average
34    monthly  tax  liability  of  $150,000  or more shall make all

 1    payments required by rules of the  Department  by  electronic
 2    funds  transfer.   Beginning  October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
 3    has an average monthly tax  liability  of  $100,000  or  more
 4    shall  make  all payments required by rules of the Department
 5    by electronic funds transfer.  Beginning October 1,  1995,  a
 6    taxpayer  who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
 7    or more shall make all payments  required  by  rules  of  the
 8    Department  by  electronic funds transfer.  Beginning October
 9    1, 2000, a taxpayer  who  has  an  annual  tax  liability  of
10    $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of
11    the  Department  by  electronic  funds  transfer.   The  term
12    "annual  tax  liability"  shall  be the sum of the taxpayer's
13    liabilities under this Act, and under  all  other  State  and
14    local  occupation  and  use  tax  laws  administered  by  the
15    Department,  for the immediately preceding calendar year. The
16    term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of  the
17    taxpayer's  liabilities  under  this Act, and under all other
18    State and local occupation and use tax laws  administered  by
19    the  Department,  for the immediately preceding calendar year
20    divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a  taxpayer  who
21    has a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b)
22    of  Section  2505-210  of the Department of Revenue Law shall
23    make all payments required by  rules  of  the  Department  by
24    electronic funds transfer.
25        Before  August  1  of  each  year  beginning in 1993, the
26    Department  shall  notify  all  taxpayers  required  to  make
27    payments  by  electronic  funds  transfer.    All   taxpayers
28    required  to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
29    make those payments for a minimum of one  year  beginning  on
30    October 1.
31        Any  taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
32    funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
33    with the permission of the Department.
34        All taxpayers required  to  make  payment  by  electronic
 
                            -49-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    funds  transfer  and  any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
 2    make payments by electronic funds transfer shall  make  those
 3    payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
 4        The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
 5    effectuate  a  program  of  electronic funds transfer and the
 6    requirements of this Section.
 7        Any amount which is required to be shown or  reported  on
 8    any  return  or  other document under this Act shall, if such
 9    amount is not a whole-dollar  amount,  be  increased  to  the
10    nearest  whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional
11    part of a dollar is 50 cents or more, and  decreased  to  the
12    nearest  whole-dollar  amount  where the fractional part of a
13    dollar is less than 50 cents.
14        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
15    return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
16    the  Department  does  not  exceed  $200,  the Department may
17    authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual  basis,
18    with  the  return  for January, February and March of a given
19    year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return  for
20    April,  May  and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
21    such year; with the return for July, August and September  of
22    a  given  year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
23    the return for October, November and December of a given year
24    being due by January 20 of the following year.
25        If the retailer is otherwise required to file  a  monthly
26    or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
27    liability  with  the  Department  does  not  exceed  $50, the
28    Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
29    basis, with the return for a given year being due by  January
30    20 of the following year.
31        Such  quarter  annual  and annual returns, as to form and
32    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
33    monthly returns.
34        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Act
 
                            -50-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    concerning the time within which  a  retailer  may  file  his
 2    return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
 3    kind  of  business  which  makes  him  responsible for filing
 4    returns under this Act, such  retailer  shall  file  a  final
 5    return  under  this Act with the Department not more than one
 6    month after discontinuing such business.
 7        Where  the  same  person  has  more  than  one   business
 8    registered  with  the Department under separate registrations
 9    under this Act, such person may not file each return that  is
10    due   as   a  single  return  covering  all  such  registered
11    businesses, but shall file separate  returns  for  each  such
12    registered business.
13        In  addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
14    aircraft, and trailers that are  required  to  be  registered
15    with  an  agency  of  this State, every retailer selling this
16    kind of tangible  personal  property  shall  file,  with  the
17    Department,  upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
18    Department, a separate return for each such item of  tangible
19    personal  property  which the retailer sells, except that if,
20    in  the  same  transaction,  (i)  a  retailer  of   aircraft,
21    watercraft,  motor  vehicles  or trailers transfers more than
22    one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
23    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor  vehicle  retailer  or  trailer
24    retailer for the purpose of resale  or  (ii)  a  retailer  of
25    aircraft,  watercraft,  motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
26    more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
27    to a purchaser for use  as  a  qualifying  rolling  stock  as
28    provided  in  Section  2-5  of this Act, then that seller may
29    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
34    Section  3-2  of  the  Boat  Registration  and  Safety Act, a
 
                            -51-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    personal watercraft, or any boat  equipped  with  an  inboard
 2    motor.
 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
 
                            -52-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    the  selling  price  including  the  amount  allowed  by  the
 2    retailer for traded-in property, if any; the  amount  allowed
 3    by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
 4    if  any,  to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
 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
 9    from the purchaser by the retailer on  such  transaction  (or
10    satisfactory  evidence  that  such  tax  is  not  due in that
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
 
                            -53-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    officer with whom, he must title  or  register  the  tangible
 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
 
                            -54-               LRB9205953SMdv
 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        Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
33    tax liability to the Department under this Act, the  Use  Tax
34    Act,  the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
 
                            -55-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    Act, excluding any liability for  prepaid  sales  tax  to  be
 2    remitted  in  accordance  with  Section  2d  of this Act, was
 3    $10,000 or more during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
 4    quarters,  he  shall  file  a return with the Department each
 5    month by the 20th day of the month next following  the  month
 6    during  which  such  tax liability is incurred and shall make
 7    payments to the Department on or before the 7th,  15th,  22nd
 8    and  last  day  of  the  month during which such liability is
 9    incurred. On and after October 1,  2000,  if  the  taxpayer's
10    average  monthly  tax  liability to the Department under this
11    Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
12    Service Use Tax Act,  excluding  any  liability  for  prepaid
13    sales  tax  to  be  remitted in accordance with Section 2d of
14    this Act, was $20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
15    calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
16    each month by the 20th day of the month  next  following  the
17    month  during  which such tax liability is incurred and shall
18    make payment to the Department on or before  the  7th,  15th,
19    22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
20    incurred.    If  the month during which such tax liability is
21    incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each  payment  shall
22    be  in  an  amount  equal  to  1/4  of  the taxpayer's actual
23    liability for the month or an amount set  by  the  Department
24    not  to  exceed  1/4  of the average monthly liability of the
25    taxpayer to the  Department  for  the  preceding  4  complete
26    calendar  quarters  (excluding the month of highest liability
27    and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter  period).
28    If  the  month  during  which  such tax liability is incurred
29    begins on or after January 1, 1985 and prior  to  January  1,
30    1987,  each  payment  shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
31    the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
32    taxpayer's liability for  the  same  calendar  month  of  the
33    preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
34    is  incurred  begins on or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
 
                            -56-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal  to
 2    22.5%  of  the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or
 3    26.25% of the taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same  calendar
 4    month  of the preceding year.  If the month during which such
 5    tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
 6    and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or  after  January
 7    1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
 8    the  taxpayer's  actual liability for the month or 25% of the
 9    taxpayer's liability for  the  same  calendar  month  of  the
10    preceding  year. If the month during which such tax liability
11    is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior  to
12    January  1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
13    22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
14    of the taxpayer's liability for the same  calendar  month  of
15    the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
16    for the quarter monthly reporting period.  The amount of such
17    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
18    tax liability  of  the  taxpayer's  return  for  that  month.
19    Before  October  1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
20    the making of quarter monthly payments to the  Department  by
21    taxpayers  having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
22    or more as determined in  the  manner  provided  above  shall
23    continue  until  such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
24    the Department  during  the  preceding  4  complete  calendar
25    quarters  (excluding  the  month of highest liability and the
26    month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
27    taxpayer's average monthly liability  to  the  Department  as
28    computed  for  each  calendar  quarter  of  the  4  preceding
29    complete  calendar  quarter  period  is  less  than  $10,000.
30    However,  if  a  taxpayer  can  show  the  Department  that a
31    substantial change in the taxpayer's  business  has  occurred
32    which  causes  the  taxpayer  to  anticipate that his average
33    monthly tax liability for the reasonably  foreseeable  future
34    will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
 
                            -57-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    taxpayer  may  petition  the  Department for a change in such
 2    taxpayer's reporting status.  On and after October  1,  2000,
 3    once  applicable,  the  requirement  of the making of quarter
 4    monthly payments to the Department  by  taxpayers  having  an
 5    average   monthly   tax  liability  of  $20,000  or  more  as
 6    determined in the manner provided above shall continue  until
 7    such  taxpayer's  average monthly liability to the Department
 8    during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters  (excluding
 9    the  month  of  highest  liability  and  the  month of lowest
10    liability) is less than  $19,000  or  until  such  taxpayer's
11    average  monthly  liability to the Department as computed for
12    each calendar quarter of the 4  preceding  complete  calendar
13    quarter  period is less than $20,000.  However, if a taxpayer
14    can show the Department that  a  substantial  change  in  the
15    taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to
16    anticipate  that  his  average  monthly tax liability for the
17    reasonably foreseeable future will  fall  below  the  $20,000
18    threshold  stated  above, then such taxpayer may petition the
19    Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting  status.
20    The  Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
21    unless it finds that such change is seasonal  in  nature  and
22    not  likely  to  be  long  term.  If any such quarter monthly
23    payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required  by
24    this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
25    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
26    as  a  payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
27    actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer  has
28    previously  made payments for that month to the Department in
29    excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided  in
30    this  Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
31    regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount  and
32    quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
33    than a calendar monthly basis.
34        Without  regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
 
                            -58-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
 2    is required by Section 2d of this Act to  collect  and  remit
 3    prepaid  taxes  and has collected prepaid taxes which average
 4    in excess  of  $25,000  per  month  during  the  preceding  2
 5    complete  calendar  quarters,  shall  file  a return with the
 6    Department as required by Section 2f and shall make  payments
 7    to  the  Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
 8    day of the month during which such liability is incurred.  If
 9    the month during which such tax liability is  incurred  began
10    prior  to  the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
11    each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
12    taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d.  If  the  month
13    during  which  such  tax  liability  is incurred begins on or
14    after January 1, 1986, each payment shall  be  in  an  amount
15    equal  to  22.5%  of  the taxpayer's actual liability for the
16    month or 27.5% of  the  taxpayer's  liability  for  the  same
17    calendar  month of the preceding calendar year.  If the month
18    during which such tax liability  is  incurred  begins  on  or
19    after  January  1,  1987,  each payment shall be in an amount
20    equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's  actual  liability  for  the
21    month  or  26.25%  of  the  taxpayer's liability for the same
22    calendar month of the preceding year.   The  amount  of  such
23    quarter  monthly payments shall be credited against the final
24    tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that  month  filed
25    under  this  Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.  Once
26    applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter  monthly
27    payments  to  the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
28    continue until such taxpayer's average  monthly  prepaid  tax
29    collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
30    is  $25,000  or less.  If any such quarter monthly payment is
31    not paid at the time or in the amount required, the  taxpayer
32    shall   be   liable   for  penalties  and  interest  on  such
33    difference, except insofar as  the  taxpayer  has  previously
34    made  payments  for  that  month  in  excess  of  the minimum
 
                            -59-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    payments previously due.
 2        If any payment provided for in this Section  exceeds  the
 3    taxpayer's  liabilities  under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
 4    Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use  Tax  Act,  as
 5    shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
 6    requested  by  the  taxpayer,  issue to the taxpayer a credit
 7    memorandum no later than 30 days after the date  of  payment.
 8    The  credit  evidenced  by  such  credit  memorandum  may  be
 9    assigned  by  the  taxpayer  to a similar taxpayer under this
10    Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act  or  the
11    Service  Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
12    regulations to be prescribed by the Department.  If  no  such
13    request  is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
14    against tax liability subsequently  to  be  remitted  to  the
15    Department  under  this  Act,  the  Use  Tax Act, the Service
16    Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in  accordance
17    with  reasonable  rules  and  regulations  prescribed  by the
18    Department.  If the Department subsequently  determined  that
19    all  or  any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
20    the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
21    shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the  difference  between
22    the  credit  taken  and  that actually due, and that taxpayer
23    shall  be  liable  for  penalties  and   interest   on   such
24    difference.
25        If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
26    Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
27    to  the  Department  under  this  Act for the month which the
28    taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall  issue  the
29    taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
30        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
31    shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special  fund
32    in  the  State  treasury  which  is  hereby  created, the net
33    revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%  tax  on
34    sales  of  food for human consumption which is to be consumed

 5    testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
 6        Beginning  January  1,  1990,  each  month the Department
 7    shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District  Fund,  a
 8    special  fund  in the State treasury which is hereby created,
 9    4% of the net revenue realized for the preceding  month  from
10    the 6.25% general rate.
11        Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
12    pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the
13    net  revenue  realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
14    rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
15        Beginning January 1,  1990,  each  month  the  Department
16    shall  pay  into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
17    revenue realized for  the  preceding  month  from  the  6.25%
18    general  rate  on  the  selling  price  of  tangible personal
19    property.
20        Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
21    pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue
22    realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate  on  the
23    selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
24        Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
25    pursuant  to  this  Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
26    the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1,  1989,  2.2%
27    and  on  and  after  July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
28    into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that  if  in
29    any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
30    as  the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
31    and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
32    to this Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9  of  the

15    pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof  shall  be  paid  into  the
16    State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
17    and  used  only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as
18    part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
19    accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
20        The Department may, upon separate  written  notice  to  a
21    taxpayer,  require  the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
22    Department on a form prescribed by the Department within  not
23    less  than  60  days  after  receipt  of the notice an annual
24    information return for the tax year specified in the  notice.
25    Such   annual  return  to  the  Department  shall  include  a
26    statement of gross receipts as shown by the  retailer's  last
27    Federal  income  tax  return.   If  the total receipts of the
28    business as reported in the Federal income tax return do  not
29    agree  with  the gross receipts reported to the Department of
30    Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach to his
31    annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation  of  the  2
32    amounts  and  the reasons for the difference.  The retailer's
33    annual return to the Department shall also disclose the  cost
34    of goods sold by the retailer during the year covered by such
 
                            -66-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    return,  opening  and  closing  inventories of such goods for
 2    such year, costs of goods used from stock or taken from stock
 3    and given away by the  retailer  during  such  year,  payroll
 4    information  of  the retailer's business during such year and
 5    any additional reasonable information  which  the  Department
 6    deems  would  be  helpful  in determining the accuracy of the
 7    monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by  such  retailer
 8    as provided for in this Section.
 9        If the annual information return required by this Section
10    is  not  filed  when  and  as required, the taxpayer shall be
11    liable as follows:
12             (i)  Until January 1, 1994, the  taxpayer  shall  be
13        liable  for  a  penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
14        from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
15        covered by the annual return for each month  or  fraction
16        of  a  month  until such return is filed as required, the
17        penalty to be assessed and collected in the  same  manner
18        as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
19             (ii)  On  and  after  January  1, 1994, the taxpayer
20        shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
21        of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
22        The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
23    ranking manager shall sign the annual return to  certify  the
24    accuracy  of  the information contained therein.   Any person
25    who willfully signs the annual  return  containing  false  or
26    inaccurate   information  shall  be  guilty  of  perjury  and
27    punished accordingly.  The annual return form  prescribed  by
28    the  Department  shall  include  a  warning  that  the person
29    signing the return may be liable for perjury.
30        The provisions of this Section concerning the  filing  of
31    an  annual  information return do not apply to a retailer who
32    is not required to file an income tax return with the  United
33    States Government.
34        As  soon  as  possible after the first day of each month,
 
                            -67-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    upon  certification  of  the  Department  of   Revenue,   the
 2    Comptroller  shall  order transferred and the Treasurer shall
 3    transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel  Tax
 4    Fund  an  amount  equal  to  1.7%  of  80% of the net revenue
 5    realized under this  Act  for  the  second  preceding  month.
 6    Beginning  April 1, 2000, this transfer is no longer required
 7    and shall not be made.
 8        Net revenue realized for a month  shall  be  the  revenue
 9    collected  by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
10    paid out during  that  month  as  refunds  to  taxpayers  for
11    overpayment of liability.
12        For  greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
13    importers and wholesalers whose products are sold  at  retail
14    in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
15    assume  the  responsibility  for accounting and paying to the
16    Department all tax accruing under this Act  with  respect  to
17    such  sales,  if  the  retailers who are affected do not make
18    written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
19        Any  person  who  promotes,  organizes,  provides  retail
20    selling space for concessionaires or other types  of  sellers
21    at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
22    local  fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions
23    or events, including any transient  merchant  as  defined  by
24    Section  2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required
25    to file a report with the Department providing  the  name  of
26    the  merchant's  business,  the name of the person or persons
27    engaged in merchant's business,  the  permanent  address  and
28    Illinois  Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the
29    merchant, the dates and  location  of  the  event  and  other
30    reasonable  information that the Department may require.  The
31    report must be filed not later than the 20th day of the month
32    next following the month during which the event  with  retail
33    sales  was  held.   Any  person  who  fails  to file a report
34    required by this Section commits a business  offense  and  is
 
                            -68-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
 2        Any  person  engaged  in the business of selling tangible
 3    personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
 4    of seller at the  Illinois  State  Fair,  county  fairs,  art
 5    shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
 6    transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
 7    Merchant  Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
 8    of the amount of such sales to the Department and to  make  a
 9    daily  payment of the full amount of tax due.  The Department
10    shall impose this requirement when it finds that there  is  a
11    significant  risk  of loss of revenue to the State at such an
12    exhibition or event.   Such  a  finding  shall  be  based  on
13    evidence  that  a  substantial  number  of concessionaires or
14    other sellers who are  not  residents  of  Illinois  will  be
15    engaging   in  the  business  of  selling  tangible  personal
16    property at retail at  the  exhibition  or  event,  or  other
17    evidence  of  a  significant  risk  of loss of revenue to the
18    State.  The Department shall notify concessionaires and other
19    sellers affected by the imposition of this  requirement.   In
20    the   absence   of   notification   by  the  Department,  the
21    concessionaires and other sellers shall file their returns as
22    otherwise required in this Section.

27        Section 35.  The Electricity Excise Tax Law is amended by
28    changing Sections 2-9 and 2-11 as follows:

29        (35 ILCS 640/2-9)
30        Sec. 2-9.   Return  and  payment  of  tax  by  delivering
31    supplier.    Each  delivering  supplier  who  is  required or
32    authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Law shall  make
 
                            -69-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    a  return to the Department on or before the 15th day of each
 2    month for the preceding calendar month stating the following:
 3             (1)  The delivering supplier's name.
 4             (2)  The  address  of  the   delivering   supplier's
 5        principal  place  of  business  and  the  address  of the
 6        principal place of  business  (if  that  is  a  different
 7        address)  from  which  the delivering supplier engaged in
 8        the business of delivering electricity in this State.
 9             (3)  The total number of  kilowatt-hours  which  the
10        supplier  delivered  to  or  for  purchasers  during  the
11        preceding  calendar month and upon the basis of which the
12        tax is imposed.
13             (4)  Amount of tax, computed upon Item  (3)  at  the
14        rates stated in Section 2-4.
15             (5)  An  adjustment for uncollectible amounts of tax
16        in respect  of  prior  period  kilowatt-hour  deliveries,
17        determined  in  accordance  with  rules  and  regulations
18        promulgated by the Department.
19             (5.5)  The  amount  of credits to which the taxpayer
20        is entitled on account of purchases  made  under  Section
21        8-403.1 of the Public  Utilities Act.
22             (6)  Such   other   information  as  the  Department
23        reasonably may require.
24        In making such return the delivering supplier may use any
25    reasonable method to derive reportable "kilowatt-hours"  from
26    the delivering supplier's records.
27        If the average monthly tax liability to the Department of
28    the   delivering   supplier   does  not  exceed  $2,500,  the
29    Department may authorize the delivering supplier's returns to
30    be filed on a  quarter-annual  basis,  with  the  return  for
31    January,  February  and  March  of  a given year being due by
32    April 30 of such year; with the return  for  April,  May  and
33    June  of a given year being due by July 31 of such year; with
34    the return for July, August and September  of  a  given  year
 
                            -70-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    being due by October 31 of such year; and with the return for
 2    October,  November  and December of a given year being due by
 3    January 31 of the following year.
 4        If the average monthly tax liability to the Department of
 5    the  delivering  supplier  does  not   exceed   $1,000,   the
 6    Department may authorize the delivering supplier's returns to
 7    be filed on an annual basis, with the return for a given year
 8    being due by January 31 of the following year.
 9        Such  quarter-annual  and  annual returns, as to form and
10    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
11    monthly returns.
12        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Law
13    concerning the time within which a  delivering  supplier  may
14    file  a  return,  any  such delivering supplier who ceases to
15    engage  in  a  kind  of  business  which  makes  the   person
16    responsible  for  filing  returns under this Law shall file a
17    final return under this Law with the Department not more than
18    one month after discontinuing such business.
19        Each delivering supplier whose average monthly  liability
20    to  the  Department under this Law was $10,000 or more during
21    the preceding calendar year, excluding the month  of  highest
22    liability  and the month of lowest liability in such calendar
23    year, and who is not operated by a unit of local  government,
24    shall  make estimated payments to the Department on or before
25    the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the  month  during  which
26    tax  liability to the Department is incurred in an amount not
27    less than the  lower  of  either  22.5%  of  such  delivering
28    supplier's  actual tax liability for the month or 25% of such
29    delivering supplier's  actual  tax  liability  for  the  same
30    calendar  month  of  the  preceding year.  The amount of such
31    quarter-monthly payments shall be credited against the  final
32    tax  liability  of such delivering supplier's return for that
33    month.  An outstanding credit approved by the Department or a
34    credit memorandum issued by the Department arising from  such
 
                            -71-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    delivering  supplier's  overpayment  of  his or her final tax
 2    liability for any month may be applied to reduce  the  amount
 3    of any subsequent quarter-monthly payment or credited against
 4    the  final tax liability of such delivering supplier's return
 5    for any subsequent month.  If any quarter-monthly payment  is
 6    not  paid  at  the  time  or  in  the amount required by this
 7    Section, such delivering supplier shall be liable for penalty
 8    and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
 9    as a payment and the amount  of  such  payment  actually  and
10    timely  paid,  except insofar as such delivering supplier has
11    previously made payments for that month to the Department  in
12    excess of the minimum payments previously due.
13        If  the  Director finds that the information required for
14    the  making  of  an  accurate  return  cannot  reasonably  be
15    compiled by such delivering supplier within 15 days after the
16    close of the calendar month for which a return is to be made,
17    the Director may grant an extension of time for the filing of
18    such return for a period not to exceed 31 calendar days.  The
19    granting of such an extension may  be  conditioned  upon  the
20    deposit by such delivering supplier with the Department of an
21    amount  of  money  not  exceeding the amount estimated by the
22    Director to be due with the return  so  extended.   All  such
23    deposits shall be credited against such delivering supplier's
24    liabilities  under  this  Law.   If  the deposit exceeds such
25    delivering supplier's present and probable future liabilities
26    under this Law, the Department shall issue to such delivering
27    supplier a credit memorandum, which may be assigned  by  such
28    delivering  supplier  to  a similar person under this Law, in
29    accordance  with  reasonable  rules  and  regulations  to  be
30    prescribed by the Department.
31        The delivering supplier making the return provided for in
32    this Section shall, at the time of making such return, pay to
33    the Department the amount of tax imposed by this Law.
34        Until October 1, 2002, a delivering supplier who  has  an
 
                            -72-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    average  monthly tax  liability of $10,000 or more shall make
 2    all  payments    required  by  rules  of  the  Department  by
 3    electronic funds  transfer.  The term  "average  monthly  tax
 4    liability"  shall  be    the sum of the delivering supplier's
 5    liabilities under this  Law  for  the  immediately  preceding
 6    calendar year divided by  12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a
 7    taxpayer  who  has a tax liability in the amount set forth in
 8    subsection (b) of  Section  2505-210  of  the  Department  of
 9    Revenue  Law shall make all payments required by rules of the
10    Department  by  electronic  funds  transfer.  Any  delivering
11    supplier not required to make payments  by  electronic  funds
12    transfer may make payments by electronic  funds transfer with
13    the  permission of the Department.  All  delivering suppliers
14    required to make payments by electronic  funds  transfer  and
15    any  delivering  suppliers  authorized  to   voluntarily make
16    payments by electronic  funds  transfer  shall    make  those
17    payments in the manner authorized by the  Department.
18        Each  month  the  Department  shall  pay  into the Public
19    Utility Fund in the State treasury an  amount  determined  by
20    the Director to be equal to 3.0% of the funds received by the
21    Department  pursuant  to  this Section.  The remainder of all
22    moneys received by the Department under this Section shall be
23    paid into the General Revenue Fund in the State treasury.

25        (35 ILCS 640/2-11)
26        Sec. 2-11.  Direct return and payment  by  self-assessing
27    purchaser.   When  electricity  is  used  or  consumed  by  a
28    self-assessing  purchaser  subject to the tax imposed by this
29    Law who  did  not  pay  the  tax  to  a  delivering  supplier
30    maintaining  a  place  of  business  within  this  State  and
31    required   or   authorized   to   collect   the   tax,   that
32    self-assessing  purchaser shall, on or before the 15th day of
33    each month, make a return to the Department for the preceding
 
                            -73-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    calendar month, stating all of the following:
 2             (1)  The   self-assessing   purchaser's   name   and
 3        principal address.
 4             (2)  The  aggregate  purchase  price  paid  by   the
 5        self-assessing  purchaser  for  the distribution, supply,
 6        furnishing,  sale,  transmission  and  delivery  of  such
 7        electricity to or for the purchaser during the  preceding
 8        calendar   month,   including   budget   plan  and  other
 9        purchaser-owned amounts  applied  during  such  month  in
10        payment  of charges includible in the purchase price, and
11        upon the basis of which the tax is imposed.
12             (3)  Amount of tax, computed upon item  (2)  at  the
13        rate stated in Section 2-4.
14             (4)  Such   other   information  as  the  Department
15        reasonably may require.
16        In making such return the  self-assessing  purchaser  may
17    use  any  reasonable  method  to  derive reportable "purchase
18    price" from the self-assessing purchaser's  records.
19        If   the   average   monthly   tax   liability   of   the
20    self-assessing purchaser to the Department  does  not  exceed
21    $2,500,  the  Department  may  authorize  the  self-assessing
22    purchaser's  returns  to  be filed on a quarter-annual basis,
23    with the return for January, February and March  of  a  given
24    year  being due by April 30 of such year; with the return for
25    April, May and June of a given year being due by July  31  of
26    such year; with the return for July, August, and September of
27    a  given  year being due by October 31 of such year; and with
28    the return for October, November and December of a given year
29    being due by January 31 of the following year.
30        If   the   average   monthly   tax   liability   of   the
31    self-assessing purchaser to the Department  does  not  exceed
32    $1,000,  the  Department  may  authorize  the  self-assessing
33    purchaser's  returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the
34    return for a given year  being  due  by  January  31  of  the
 
                            -74-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    following year.
 2        Such  quarter-annual  and  annual returns, as to form and
 3    substance, shall be  subject  to  the  same  requirements  as
 4    monthly returns.
 5        Notwithstanding   any   other   provision   in  this  Law
 6    concerning the time within which a  self-assessing  purchaser
 7    may  file  a  return,  any  such self-assessing purchaser who
 8    ceases to be responsible for filing returns  under  this  Law
 9    shall  file a final return under this Law with the Department
10    not more than one month thereafter.
11        Each  self-assessing  purchaser  whose  average   monthly
12    liability  to  the  Department  pursuant  to this Section was
13    $10,000 or more during the preceding calendar year, excluding
14    the month of  highest  liability  and  the  month  of  lowest
15    liability  during  such  calendar  year,  and  which  is  not
16    operated  by a unit of local government, shall make estimated
17    payments to the Department on or before the 7th,  15th,  22nd
18    and  last  day of the month during which tax liability to the
19    Department is incurred in an amount not less than  the  lower
20    of either 22.5% of such self-assessing purchaser's actual tax
21    liability  for  the  month  or  25%  of  such  self-assessing
22    purchaser's  actual tax liability for the same calendar month
23    of the preceding year.  The amount  of  such  quarter-monthly
24    payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
25    the  self-assessing  purchaser's  return  for that month.  An
26    outstanding credit approved by the  Department  or  a  credit
27    memorandum   issued   by  the  Department  arising  from  the
28    self-assessing purchaser's overpayment of the  self-assessing
29    purchaser's  final tax liability for any month may be applied
30    to  reduce  the  amount  of  any  subsequent  quarter-monthly
31    payment or credited against the final tax liability  of  such
32    self-assessing  purchaser's  return for any subsequent month.
33    If any quarter-monthly payment is not paid at the time or  in
34    the  amount  required  by  this Section, such person shall be

 4    person has previously made payments for  that  month  to  the
 5    Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
 6        If  the  Director finds that the information required for
 7    the  making  of  an  accurate  return  cannot  reasonably  be
 8    compiled by a self-assessing purchaser within 15  days  after
 9    the  close  of the calendar month for which a return is to be
10    made, the Director may grant an extension  of  time  for  the
11    filing  of  such  return  for  a  period  of not to exceed 31
12    calendar days.  The granting of  such  an  extension  may  be
13    conditioned upon the deposit by such self-assessing purchaser
14    with  the  Department of an amount of money not exceeding the
15    amount estimated by the Director to be due with the return so
16    extended.  All such deposits shall be credited  against  such
17    self-assessing  purchaser's  liabilities  under this Law.  If
18    the deposit exceeds such self-assessing  purchaser's  present
19    and   probable   future   liabilities  under  this  Law,  the
20    Department shall issue to  such  self-assessing  purchaser  a

22    self-assessing purchaser to a similar person under this  Law,
23    in  accordance  with  reasonable  rules and regulations to be
24    prescribed by the Department.
25        The self-assessing purchaser making the  return  provided
26    for in this Section shall, at the time of making such return,
27    pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this Law.
28        Until October 1, 2002, a self-assessing purchaser who has
29    an  average  monthly  tax  liability of $10,000 or more shall
30    make all payments  required by rules  of  the  Department  by
31    electronic  funds    transfer.  The term "average monthly tax
32    liability"  shall  be    the  sum   of   the   self-assessing
33    purchaser's  liabilities  under  this Law for the immediately
34    preceding calendar year divided  by 12. Beginning on  October

28        (b)  The State's  Attorney  of  each  county  shall  have

30    serve  subpoenas,  make  return  of   process   and   conduct
31    investigations  which  assist  the  State's  Attorney  in the

33    carry firearms except with permission of the State's Attorney
34    and only while carrying appropriate identification indicating
 
                            -87-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    his employment and in the performance of his assigned duties.

 8    unless  he  or  she  successfully  completes the basic police
 9    training course mandated and approved  by  the  Illinois  Law
10    Enforcement Training Standards Board or such board waives the
11    training  requirement by reason of the special investigator's

13    State's  Attorney  appointing  a  special  investigator shall
14    consult with all  affected  local  police  agencies,  to  the
15    extent  consistent  with  the public interest, if the special
16    investigator  is  assigned  to  areas  within  that  agency's

23    information   concerning   the   person   on  file  with  the
24    Department.  No  person  shall  be  appointed  as  a  special
25    investigator if he has been convicted of a  felony  or  other
26    offense  involving  moral  turpitude.  A special investigator
27    shall be paid a salary and be reimbursed for actual  expenses
28    incurred in performing his assigned duties.  The county board
29    shall  approve the salary and actual expenses and appropriate
30    the salary and expenses in the manner prescribed  by  law  or
31    ordinance.
32        (c)  The  State's  Attorney  may request and receive from
33    employers, labor unions,  telephone  companies,  and  utility

                            -88-               LRB9205953SMdv
 1    and noncustodial parents for the purpose  of  establishing  a
 2    child's  paternity or establishing, enforcing, or modifying a
 3    child support  obligation.   In  this  subsection,  "location
 4    information"   means   information  about  (i)  the  physical
 5    whereabouts of a putative father or noncustodial parent, (ii)
 6    the putative father or  noncustodial  parent's  employer,  or
 7    (iii)  the salary, wages, and other compensation paid and the
 8    health insurance coverage provided to the putative father  or
 9    noncustodial parent by the employer of the putative father or
10    noncustodial parent or by a labor union of which the putative
11    father or noncustodial parent is a member.
12        (d)  For  each State fiscal year, the State's Attorney of
13    Cook County shall appear  before  the  General  Assembly  and
14    request appropriations to be made from the Capital Litigation
15    Trust  Fund  to  the  State  Treasurer  for  the  purpose  of
16    providing  assistance  in the prosecution of capital cases in
17    Cook County.  The State's  Attorney  may  appear  before  the
18    General  Assembly  at  other  times during the State's fiscal
19    year to request supplemental appropriations  from  the  Trust
20    Fund to the State Treasurer.
21        (e)  The  State's  Attorney  shall  have the authority to
22    enter into a written agreement with the Department of Revenue
23    for pursuit of civil liability under  Section  17-1a  of  the
24    Criminal  Code of 1961 against persons who have issued to the
25    Department  checks  or  other  orders  in  violation  of  the
26    provisions of paragraph (d) of subsection (B) of Section 17-1
27    of the Criminal Code of 1961, with the Department  to  retain
28    the  amount  owing  upon  the dishonored check or order along
29    with the dishonored  check  fee  imposed  under  the  Uniform
30    Penalty  and Interest Act, with the balance of damages, fees,
31    and costs collected under Section 17-1a of the Criminal  Code
32    of  1961  to  be  retained  by  the  State's  Attorney.   The
33    agreement  shall not affect the allocation of fines and costs
34    imposed in any criminal prosecution.
