17 (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
18 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
19and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
20of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect

HB4071- 2 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
2amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
3when he is required to file his return for the period during
4which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
5January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990 and
6prior to January 1, 2024, and 2% on and after January 1, 2024,
7or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
8allowed to reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in
9collecting the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing
10returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to the
11Department on request. On and after January 1, 1990 and prior
12to January 1, 2024, in no event shall the discount allowed to
13any vendor be less than $5 in any calendar year. On and after
14January 1, 2024, in no event shall the discount allowed to any
15vendor be less than $5 in any calendar year or more than $1,000
16in any calendar year. When determining the discount allowed
17under this Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax
18that would have been due at the 6.25% rate but for the 1.25%
19rate imposed on sales tax holiday items under Public Act
20102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. The
21discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25%
22portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the
23revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
2447133. When determining the discount allowed under this
25Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax that would
26have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under

HB4071- 3 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
2Assembly. In the case of retailers who report and pay the tax
3on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
4Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
5remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
6return. The discount allowed under this Section is allowed
7only for returns that are filed in the manner required by this
8Act. The Department may disallow the discount for retailers
9whose certificate of registration is revoked at the time the
10return is filed, but only if the Department's decision to
11revoke the certificate of registration has become final. A
12retailer need not remit that part of any tax collected by him
13to the extent that he is required to remit and does remit the
14tax imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect
15to the sale of the same property.
16 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
17conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
18wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
19extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
20filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
21vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
22to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
23each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
24the selling price actually received during such tax return
25period.
26 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the

HB4071- 4 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
2a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall
3be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall
4furnish such information as the Department may reasonably
5require. The return shall include the gross receipts on food
6for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
7where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, food
8consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft drinks,
9and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption)
10which were received during the preceding calendar month,
11quarter, or year, as appropriate, and upon which tax would
12have been due but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act
13102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. The
14return shall also include the amount of tax that would have
15been due on food for human consumption that is to be consumed
16off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic
17beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult use
18cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for
19immediate consumption) but for the 0% rate imposed under
20Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
21Assembly.
22 On and after January 1, 2018, except for returns required
23to be filed prior to January 1, 2023 for motor vehicles,
24watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be
25registered with an agency of this State, with respect to

6vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
7to be registered with an agency of this State, shall be filed
8electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do not
9have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing
10electronically may petition the Department to waive the
11electronic filing requirement.
12 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
13quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
14quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
15calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
16taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each

13aviation fuel tax return. The requirements related to the
14return shall be as otherwise provided in this Section.
15Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the
16contrary, retailers collecting tax on aviation fuel shall file
17all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all aviation fuel
18tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form
19required by the Department. For purposes of this Section,

20immediately preceding calendar year. The term "average monthly
21tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities

3Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
4the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was
5$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar

8during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
9payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
10last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
11If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
12prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
13equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
14or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
15average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
16for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
17month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
18in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
19liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and
20prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
21equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
22month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
23calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during

14liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
15of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
16final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
17Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
18the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
19continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
20the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
21quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
22month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
23taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
24computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
25calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
26taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in

HB4071- 11 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
2to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
3reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
4threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
5Department for change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
6and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
7the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
8continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
9the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
10quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
11month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
12taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
13computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
14calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
15taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
16the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
17to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
18reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
19threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
20Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
21The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
22unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
23likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
24be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
251.25% in Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd
26General Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not occurred.

HB4071- 12 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2023 and
2through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for
3the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be
4determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act
5102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly on
6sales tax holiday items had not occurred. Quarter monthly
7payment status shall be determined under this paragraph as if
8the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 this amendatory
9Act of the 102nd General Assembly on food for human
10consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is
11sold (other than alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or
12infused with adult use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that
13has been prepared for immediate consumption) had not occurred.
14For quarter monthly payments due under this paragraph on or
15after July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the
16taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
17preceding year" shall be determined as if the rate reduction
18to 0% in Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd
19General Assembly had not occurred. If any such quarter monthly
20payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
21this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
22and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
23and the amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and
24timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
25made payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
26minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.

HB4071- 13 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
2govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
3payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
4monthly basis.
5 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
6the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
7Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
8Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
9the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
10no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
11memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
12in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
13taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
14similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
15Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
16in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
17prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
18payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
19after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
20unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
21the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
22liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
23Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
24the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
25accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
26the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that

HB4071- 14 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
2taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
3be reduced by an amount generated by calculating 2.1% or 1.75%
4of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
5due and then multiplying that amount by the vendor discount
6percentage, and the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
7interest on such difference.
8 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
9return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
10the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
11authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
12with the return for January, February, and March of a given
13year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
14April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
15such year; with the return for July, August and September of a
16given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
17return for October, November and December of a given year
18being due by January 20 of the following year.
19 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
20quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
21liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
22Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
23basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
24of the following year.
25 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
26substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as

HB4071- 15 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1monthly returns.
2 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
3the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
4case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
5which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
6such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
7Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
8business.
9 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
10aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
11an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
12Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
13property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
14prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
15for each such item of tangible personal property which the
16retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
17retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
18transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
19trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
20trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
21of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
22more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
23to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
24provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
25report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
26vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the

HB4071- 16 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting

3a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
43-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
5watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
6 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
7aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
8an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
9business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
10connection with such business, sells any such item to a
11retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
12other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
13meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
14the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
15or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
16Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting

18month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
19other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
20under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
21manner and form as required by the Department.
22 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
23vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
24an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
25Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
26Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;

HB4071- 17 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
2selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
3traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
4for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
5extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
6the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
7deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
8price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
9such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
10purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
11evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
12if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
13sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
14other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
15Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
16Department may reasonably require.
17 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
18and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
19name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
20price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
21traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
22for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
23extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
24the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
25deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling

3evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
4if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
5sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
6such other information as the Department may reasonably
7require.
8 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
9than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
10being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
11than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
12return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
13that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
14Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
15officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
16titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
17if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
18that this procedure will expedite the processing of
19applications for title or registration.
20 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
21shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
22satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
23the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
24Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
25(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
26that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser

HB4071- 19 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
2whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
3that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
4support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
5certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
6tangible personal property.
7 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
8Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
9retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
10evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
11is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
12paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
13Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
14mandate of this paragraph.
15 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
16wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
17of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
18retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
19paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
20of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
21being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
22the information required by the transaction reporting return
23and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
24the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
25determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
26and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be

HB4071- 20 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
2with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
3provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
4the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
5same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
6if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
7 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
8selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
9the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
10property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
11the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
12purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
13filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
14to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax
15so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax
16which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
17Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
18to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
19such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
20amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
21deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
22purchaser.
23 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
24include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
25covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
26personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,

HB4071- 21 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
2from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
3remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
4return.
5 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
6Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
7return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
8returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
9Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
10Acts on the one form.
11 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
12with the Department under separate registration under this
13Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
14single return covering all such registered businesses, but
15shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

17shall pay into the Working Families Fund an amount equal to any

21 Section 15. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by changing
22Section 9 as follows:
23 (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
24 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect

HB4071- 38 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
2of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
3is required to file his return for the period during which such
4tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
51990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990 and prior to
6January 1, 2024, and 2% on and after January 1, 2024, or $5 per
7calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
8reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting
9the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
10remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department on
11request. On and after January 1, 1990 and prior to January 1,
122024, in no event shall the discount allowed to any vendor be
13less than $5 in any calendar year. On and after January 1,
142024, in no event shall the discount allowed to any vendor be
15less than $5 in any calendar year or more than $1,000 in any
16calendar year. When determining the discount allowed under
17this Section, servicemen shall include the amount of tax that
18would have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed
19under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. The
20discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25%
21portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the
22revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
2347133. The discount allowed under this Section is allowed only
24for returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act.
25The Department may disallow the discount for servicemen whose
26certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return

HB4071- 39 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the
2certificate of registration has become final. A serviceman
3need not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the
4extent that he is required to pay and does pay the tax imposed
5by the Service Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of
6service involving the incidental transfer by him of the same
7property.
8 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
9before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
10serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
11month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to
12be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed
13on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
14information as the Department may reasonably require. The
15return shall include the gross receipts which were received
16during the preceding calendar month or quarter on the
17following items upon which tax would have been due but for the
180% rate imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
19Assembly: (i) food for human consumption that is to be
20consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
21alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult
22use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for
23immediate consumption); and (ii) food prepared for immediate
24consumption and transferred incident to a sale of service
25subject to this Act or the Service Occupation Tax Act by an
26entity licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act, the Nursing

2ID/DD Community Care Act, the MC/DD Act, the Specialized
3Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, or the Child Care
4Act of 1969, or an entity that holds a permit issued pursuant
5to the Life Care Facilities Act. The return shall also include
6the amount of tax that would have been due on the items listed
7in the previous sentence but for the 0% rate imposed under this
8amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly.
9 On and after January 1, 2018, with respect to servicemen
10whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all
11returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
12filed electronically. Servicemen who demonstrate that they do
13not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in
14filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the
15electronic filing requirement.
16 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
17quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
18quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
19calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
20taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each

2 him during the preceding calendar month, including
3 receipts from charge and time sales, but less all
4 deductions allowed by law;
5 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
6 Act;

15paying tax on aviation fuel as otherwise required by this
16Section, report and pay such tax on a separate aviation fuel
17tax return. The requirements related to the return shall be as
18otherwise provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other
19provisions of this Act to the contrary, servicemen collecting
20tax on aviation fuel shall file all aviation fuel tax returns
21and shall make all aviation fuel tax payments by electronic
22means in the manner and form required by the Department. For
23purposes of this Section, "aviation fuel" means jet fuel and
24aviation gasoline.
25 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
26the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,

HB4071- 42 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b

5cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments
6by electronic means in the manner and form required by the

182000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000 or
19more shall make all payments required by rules of the
20Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "annual tax
21liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
22under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
23and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
24immediately preceding calendar year. The term "average monthly
25tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
26under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation

HB4071- 43 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the

4amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the
5Department of Revenue Law shall make all payments required by
6rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
7 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
8Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
9payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
10to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
11payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
12 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
13funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
14with the permission of the Department.
15 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
16transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
17payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
18payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
19 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
20effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
21requirements of this Section.
22 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
23return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability
24to the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
25authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
26with the return for January, February and March of a given year

HB4071- 44 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
2May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
3with the return for July, August and September of a given year
4being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
5October, November and December of a given year being due by
6January 20 of the following year.
7 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
8or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly
9tax liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
10Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
11basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
12of the following year.
13 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
14substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
15monthly returns.
16 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
17the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
18case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
19business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
20this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
21Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
22discontinuing such business.
23 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
24selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
25thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds
26the selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman

HB4071- 45 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1shall also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from
2the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which
3he refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may
4deduct the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
5purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation
6Tax, retailers' occupation tax or use tax which such
7serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
8as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the tax to
9be deducted shall previously have been remitted to the
10Department by such serviceman. If the serviceman shall not
11previously have remitted the amount of such tax to the
12Department, he shall be entitled to no deduction hereunder
13upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
14 Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also
15include the total tax upon the selling price of tangible
16personal property purchased for use by him as an incident to a
17sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of
18such tax to the Department when filing such return.
19 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
20Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
21return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
22returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
23Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
24Acts on the one form.
25 Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
26with the Department under separate registration hereunder,

HB4071- 46 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1such serviceman shall not file each return that is due as a
2single return covering all such registered businesses, but
3shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

24 For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each
25month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program
26Fund 20% of the remaining net revenue realized for the

HB4071- 47 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b

20pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of
21the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual
22Specified Amount for such fiscal year; and, further provided,

20permissible for manufacturers, importers and wholesalers whose
21products are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois, and who
22wish to do so, to assume the responsibility for accounting and
23paying to the Department all tax accruing under this Act with

21will expedite the processing of applications for title or
22registration.
23 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
24shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
25satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
26the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the

2receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
3satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
4purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
5officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
6personal property that is involved (if titling or registration
7is required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
8Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
9registration to such tangible personal property.
10 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
11Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
12retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
13evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
14is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
15paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
16Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
17mandate of this paragraph.
18 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
19wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
20of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
21the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has
22not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the
23fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
24being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
25the information required by the transaction reporting return
26and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to

HB4071- 102 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
2determination, in which event the transaction reporting return

4credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
5with the Department, but without the vendor's 2.1% or 1.75%
6discount provided for in this Section being allowed. When the
7user pays the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the
8tax in the same amount and in the same form in which it would
9be remitted if the tax had been remitted to the Department by
10the retailer.
11 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
12period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
13returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
14subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
15may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
16receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
17return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
18with respect to such receipts.
19 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
20behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
21vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
22accredited agent of such corporation.
23 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
24return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
25be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent

4Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
5on and after January 1, 1990 and prior to January 1, 2024, and
62% on and after January 1, 2024,, or $5 per calendar year,
7whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
8retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
9preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
10data to the Department on request. On and after January 1, 1990
11and prior to January 1, 2024, in no event shall the discount
12allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any calendar year. On
13and after January 1, 2024, in no event shall the discount
14allowed to any vendor be less than $5 in any calendar year or
15more than $1,000 in any calendar year. On and after January 1,
162021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling
17the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return
18under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the
19time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
20imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer
21using a certified service provider to file a return on its
22behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for
23Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount. When
24determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers
25shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the
261% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700

HB4071- 104 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. When
2determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers

46.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday
5items under Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the
6102nd General Assembly. The discount under this Section is not
7allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel
8that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
947107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made pursuant to
10Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on which
11such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
12retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
13transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
14shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
15such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
16under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
17in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
18disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
19registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
20only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
21registration has become final.

14month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
15during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
16payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
17last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
18If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
19prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
20equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
21or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
22average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
23for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
24month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
25in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
26liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and

HB4071- 106 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
2equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
3month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
4calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
5which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
6January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
7shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
8liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
9for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
10during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
11January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
12after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
13to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
1425% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
15the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
16liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
17prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
18equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
19month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
20month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
21liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
22of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
23final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
24Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
25the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
26taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000

HB4071- 107 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
2continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
3the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
4quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
5month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
6taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
7computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
8calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
9taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
10the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
11to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
12reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
13threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
14Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
15On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement
16of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
17taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000
18or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
19continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
20the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
21quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
22month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
23taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
24computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
25calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
26taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in

HB4071- 108 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
2to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
3reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
4threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
5Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
6The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
7unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
8likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
9be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
100% in Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd
11General Assembly on food for human consumption that is to be
12consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
13alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult
14use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for
15immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly
16payments due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and
17through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for
18the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be
19determined as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700
20this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly had not
21occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined
22under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in
23Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
24Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. For
25quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2023 and
26through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for

HB4071- 109 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be
2determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act
3102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly on
4sales tax holiday items had not occurred. If any such quarter
5monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
6required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable
7for penalties and interest on the difference between the
8minimum amount due as a payment and the amount of such quarter
9monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as
10the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to
11the Department in excess of the minimum payments previously
12due as provided in this Section. The Department shall make
13reasonable rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly
14payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers
15who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
16 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
172001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
18quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
19is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
20prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
21excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
22calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
23required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
24Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
25month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
26during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to

HB4071- 110 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
2each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
3taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
4during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
5January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
622.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
727.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
8of the preceding calendar year. If the month during which such
9tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987,
10each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
11taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the
12taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
13preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
14shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
15taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
16Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
17requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
18Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
19such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
20the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less.
21If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
22in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
23penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as
24the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
25excess of the minimum payments previously due.
26 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after

HB4071- 111 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b

2required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
3any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
4collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
5taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the
6preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
7with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
8payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
9last day of the month during which the liability is incurred.
10Each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
11taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
12taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
13preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
14shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
15taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
16Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
17requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
18Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
19taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
20preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
21highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
22than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
23liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
24quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
25than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
26at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be

HB4071- 112 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
2insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
3month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
4 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
5taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
6Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
7shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
8requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
9memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
10credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
11the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
12Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
13in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
14prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
15taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
16subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
17the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
18Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
19regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
20subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
21taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
222.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or
231.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
24actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
25and interest on such difference.
26 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under

HB4071- 113 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
2to the Department under this Act for the month for which the

11payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
12impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
13significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
14exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
15that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
16who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
17business of selling tangible personal property at retail at
18the exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant
19risk of loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall

8 (e) If the tax imposed herein terminates or has
9terminated, distributors who have bought stamps while such tax
10was in effect and who therefore paid such tax, but who can
11show, to the Department's satisfaction, that they sold the
12cigarettes to which they affixed such stamps after such tax
13had terminated and did not recover the tax or its equivalent
14from purchasers, shall be allowed by the Department to take

15that the volume of affixed and unaffixed stamps in the
16distributor's possession on July 1, 2019 exceeds the average
17monthly volume of cigarette stamps purchased by the
18distributor in calendar year 2018. This payment, less the
19discount provided in subsection (l), is due when the
20distributor first makes a purchase of cigarette stamps on or
21after July 1, 2019 or on the first due date of a return under
22this Act occurring on or after July 1, 2019, whichever occurs

12required to pay the additional tax that begins on July 1, 2019
13imposed by this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly
14on those stamped cigarettes.

17the cigarettes sold by the distributors. Secondary

19include the amount of the tax in the price of the cigarettes
20sold to retailers. The amount of tax shall not be less than the
21amount of taxes imposed by the State and all local
22jurisdictions. The amount of local taxes shall be calculated
23based on the location of the retailer's place of business
24shown on the retailer's certificate of registration or

14 Section 35. The Cigarette Use Tax Act is amended by
15changing Section 3 as follows:
16 (35 ILCS 135/3) (from Ch. 120, par. 453.33)

18collected by a distributor maintaining a place of business in
19this State or a distributor authorized by the Department
20pursuant to Section 7 hereof to collect the tax, and the amount
21of the tax shall be added to the price of the cigarettes sold
22by such distributor. Collection of the tax shall be evidenced
23by a stamp or stamps affixed to each original package of
24cigarettes or by an authorized substitute for such stamp

HB4071- 141 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1imprinted on each original package of such cigarettes
2underneath the sealed transparent outside wrapper of such
3original package, except as hereinafter provided. Each
4distributor who is required or authorized to collect the tax
5herein imposed, before delivering or causing to be delivered
6any original packages of cigarettes in this State to any
7purchaser, shall firmly affix a proper stamp or stamps to each
8such package, or (in the case of manufacturers of cigarettes
9in original packages which are contained inside a sealed
10transparent wrapper) shall imprint the required language on
11the original package of cigarettes beneath such outside
12wrapper as hereinafter provided. Such stamp or stamps need not
13be affixed to the original package of any cigarettes with
14respect to which the distributor is required to affix a like
15stamp or stamps by virtue of the Cigarette Tax Act, however,
16and no tax imprint need be placed underneath the sealed
17transparent wrapper of an original package of cigarettes with
18respect to which the distributor is required or authorized to
19employ a like tax imprint by virtue of the Cigarette Tax Act.
20Any distributor who purchases stamps may credit any excess
21payments verified by the Department against amounts
22subsequently due for the purchase of additional stamps, until
23such time as no excess payment remains.
24 No stamp or imprint may be affixed to, or made upon, any
25package of cigarettes unless that package complies with all
26requirements of the federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising

HB4071- 142 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1Act, 15 U.S.C. 1331 and following, for the placement of
2labels, warnings, or any other information upon a package of
3cigarettes that is sold within the United States. Under the
4authority of Section 6, the Department shall revoke the
5license of any distributor that is determined to have violated
6this paragraph. A person may not affix a stamp on a package of
7cigarettes, cigarette papers, wrappers, or tubes if that
8individual package has been marked for export outside the
9United States with a label or notice in compliance with
10Section 290.185 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal
11Regulations. It is not a defense to a proceeding for violation
12of this paragraph that the label or notice has been removed,
13mutilated, obliterated, or altered in any manner.
14 Only distributors licensed under this Act and
15transporters, as defined in Section 9c of the Cigarette Tax
16Act, may possess unstamped original packages of cigarettes.
17Prior to shipment to an Illinois retailer or secondary
18distributor, a stamp shall be applied to each original package
19of cigarettes sold to the retailer or secondary distributor. A
20distributor may apply a tax stamp only to an original package
21of cigarettes purchased or obtained directly from an in-state
22maker, manufacturer, or fabricator licensed as a distributor
23under Section 4 of this Act or an out-of-state maker,
24manufacturer, or fabricator holding a permit under Section 7
25of this Act. A licensed distributor may ship or otherwise
26cause to be delivered unstamped original packages of

HB4071- 143 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1cigarettes in, into, or from this State. A licensed
2distributor may transport unstamped original packages of
3cigarettes to a facility, wherever located, owned or
4controlled by such distributor; however, a distributor may not
5transport unstamped original packages of cigarettes to a
6facility where retail sales of cigarettes take place or to a
7facility where a secondary distributor makes sales for resale.
8Any licensed distributor that ships or otherwise causes to be
9delivered unstamped original packages of cigarettes into,
10within, or from this State shall ensure that the invoice or
11equivalent documentation and the bill of lading or freight
12bill for the shipment identifies the true name and address of
13the consignor or seller, the true name and address of the
14consignee or purchaser, and the quantity by brand style of the
15cigarettes so transported, provided that this Section shall
16not be construed as to impose any requirement or liability
17upon any common or contract carrier.
18 Distributors making sales of cigarettes to secondary
19distributors shall add the amount of the tax to the price of
20the cigarettes sold by the distributors. Secondary
21distributors making sales of cigarettes to retailers shall
22include the amount of the tax in the price of the cigarettes
23sold to retailers. The amount of tax shall not be less than the
24amount of taxes imposed by the State and all local
25jurisdictions. The amount of local taxes shall be calculated
26based on the location of the retailer's place of business

HB4071- 144 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1shown on the retailer's certificate of registration or
2sub-registration issued to the retailer pursuant to Section 2a
3of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. The original packages of

10stamps must be made by means of electronic funds transfer. The
11Department may refuse to sell stamps to any person who does not
12comply with the provisions of this Act. Beginning on June 6,
132002 and through June 30, 2002, persons holding valid licenses
14as distributors may purchase cigarette tax stamps up to an
15amount equal to 115% of the distributor's average monthly
16cigarette tax stamp purchases over the 12 calendar months
17prior to June 6, 2002.
18 Prior to December 1, 1985, the Department shall allow a
19distributor 21 days in which to make final payment of the
20amount to be paid for such stamps, by allowing the distributor
21to make payment for the stamps at the time of purchasing them
22with a draft which shall be in such form as the Department
23prescribes, and which shall be payable within 21 days
24thereafter: Provided that such distributor has filed with the
25Department, and has received the Department's approval of, a
26bond, which is in addition to the bond required under Section 4

HB4071- 145 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b

8The bond shall be conditioned upon the distributor's payment
9of the amount of any 21-day draft which the Department accepts
10from that distributor for the delivery of stamps to that
11distributor under this Act. The distributor's failure to pay
12any such draft, when due, shall also make such distributor
13automatically liable to the Department for a penalty equal to
1425% of the amount of such draft.
15 On and after December 1, 1985 and until July 1, 2003, the
16Department shall allow a distributor 30 days in which to make
17final payment of the amount to be paid for such stamps, by

21within 30 days thereafter, and beginning on January 1, 2003
22and thereafter, the draft shall be payable by means of
23electronic funds transfer: Provided that such distributor has
24filed with the Department, and has received the Department's
25approval of, a bond, which is in addition to the bond required
26under Section 4 of this Act, payable to the Department in an

HB4071- 146 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1amount equal to 150% of such distributor's average monthly tax
2liability to the Department under this Act during the
3preceding calendar year or $750,000, whichever is less, except
4that as to bonds filed on or after January 1, 1987, such
5additional bond shall be in an amount equal to 100% of such
6distributor's average monthly tax liability under this Act
7during the preceding calendar year or $750,000, whichever is
8less. The bond shall be joint and several and shall be in the
9form of a surety company bond in such form as the Department
10prescribes, or it may be in the form of a bank certificate of
11deposit or bank letter of credit. The bond shall be
12conditioned upon the distributor's payment of the amount of
13any 30-day draft which the Department accepts from that
14distributor for the delivery of stamps to that distributor
15under this Act. The distributor's failure to pay any such
16draft, when due, shall also make such distributor
17automatically liable to the Department for a penalty equal to
1825% of the amount of such draft.
19 Every prior continuous compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
20from all requirements under this Section concerning the
21furnishing of such bond, as defined in this Section, as a
22condition precedent to his being authorized to engage in the
23business licensed under this Act. This exemption shall
24continue for each such taxpayer until such time as he may be
25determined by the Department to be delinquent in the filing of
26any returns, or is determined by the Department (either

HB4071- 147 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1through the Department's issuance of a final assessment which
2has become final under the Act, or by the taxpayer's filing of
3a return which admits tax to be due that is not paid) to be
4delinquent or deficient in the paying of any tax under this
5Act, at which time that taxpayer shall become subject to the
6bond requirements of this Section and, as a condition of being
7allowed to continue to engage in the business licensed under
8this Act, shall be required to furnish bond to the Department
9in such form as provided in this Section. Such taxpayer shall
10furnish such bond for a period of 2 years, after which, if the
11taxpayer has not been delinquent in the filing of any returns,
12or delinquent or deficient in the paying of any tax under this
13Act, the Department may reinstate such person as a prior
14continuance compliance taxpayer. Any taxpayer who fails to pay
15an admitted or established liability under this Act may also
16be required to post bond or other acceptable security with the
17Department guaranteeing the payment of such admitted or
18established liability.
19 Except as otherwise provided in this Section, any person
20aggrieved by any decision of the Department under this Section
21may, within the time allowed by law, protest and request a
22hearing before the Department, whereupon the Department shall
23give notice and shall hold a hearing in conformity with the
24provisions of this Act and then issue its final administrative
25decision in the matter to such person. Effective July 1, 2013,
26protests concerning matters that are subject to the

HB4071- 148 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1jurisdiction of the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal shall be
2filed in accordance with the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal
3Act of 2012, and hearings concerning those matters shall be
4held before the Tribunal in accordance with that Act. With
5respect to protests filed with the Department prior to July 1,
62013 that would otherwise be subject to the jurisdiction of
7the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal, the person filing the
8protest may elect to be subject to the provisions of the
9Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal Act of 2012 at any time on or
10after July 1, 2013, but not later than 30 days after the date
11on which the protest was filed. If made, the election shall be
12irrevocable. In the absence of such a protest filed within the
13time allowed by law, the Department's decision shall become
14final without any further determination being made or notice
15given.
16 The Department shall discharge any surety and shall
17release and return any bond or security deposited, assigned,
18pledged, or otherwise provided to it by a taxpayer under this
19Section within 30 days after:
20 (1) such Taxpayer becomes a prior continuous
21 compliance taxpayer; or
22 (2) such taxpayer has ceased to collect receipts on
23 which he is required to remit tax to the Department, has
24 filed a final tax return, and has paid to the Department an
25 amount sufficient to discharge his remaining tax liability
26 as determined by the Department under this Act. The

HB4071- 149 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1 Department shall make a final determination of the
2 taxpayer's outstanding tax liability as expeditiously as
3 possible after his final tax return has been filed. If the
4 Department cannot make such final determination within 45
5 days after receiving the final tax return, within such
6 period it shall so notify the taxpayer, stating its
7 reasons therefor.
8 At the time of purchasing such stamps from the Department
9when purchase is required by this Act, or at the time when the
10tax which he has collected is remitted by a distributor to the
11Department without the purchase of stamps from the Department
12when that method of remitting the tax that has been collected
13is required or authorized by this Act, the distributor shall
14be allowed a discount during any year commencing July 1 and
15ending the following June 30 in accordance with the schedule
16set out hereinbelow, from the amount to be paid by him to the
17Department for such stamps, or to be paid by him to the
18Department on the basis of monthly remittances (as the case
19may be), to cover the cost, to such distributor, of collecting
20the tax herein imposed by affixing such stamps to the original
21packages of cigarettes sold by such distributor or by placing
22tax imprints underneath the sealed transparent wrapper of
23original packages of cigarettes sold by such distributor (as
24the case may be). : (1) Prior to December 1, 1985, a discount
25equal to 1-2/3% of the amount of the tax up to and including
26the first $700,000 paid hereunder by such distributor to the

HB4071- 150 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1Department during any such year; 1-1/3% of the next $700,000
2of tax or any part thereof, paid hereunder by such distributor
3to the Department during any such year; 1% of the next $700,000
4of tax, or any part thereof, paid hereunder by such
5distributor to the Department during any such year; and 2/3 of

11hereunder by such distributor to the Department during any
12such year and 1.5% of the amount of any additional tax paid
13hereunder by such distributor to the Department during any
14such year. On and after January 1, 2024, the discount shall be
15equal to 2% of the tax paid by the distributor to the
16Department under this Act during the calendar year; however,
17on and after January 1, 2024, in no event shall the discount
18allowed to any distributor be less than $5 in any calendar year
19or more than $1,000 in any calendar year.
20 Two or more distributors that use a common means of
21affixing revenue tax stamps or that are owned or controlled by
22the same interests shall be treated as a single distributor
23for the purpose of computing the discount.
24 Cigarette manufacturers who are distributors under Section
257(a) of this Act, and who place their cigarettes in original
26packages which are contained inside a sealed transparent

HB4071- 151 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1wrapper, shall be required to remit the tax which they are
2required to collect under this Act to the Department by
3remitting the amount thereof to the Department by the 5th day
4of each month, covering cigarettes shipped or otherwise
5delivered to points in Illinois to purchasers during the
6preceding calendar month, but a distributor need not remit to
7the Department the tax so collected by him from purchasers
8under this Act to the extent to which such distributor is
9required to remit the tax imposed by the Cigarette Tax Act to
10the Department with respect to the same cigarettes. All taxes
11upon cigarettes under this Act are a direct tax upon the retail
12consumer and shall conclusively be presumed to be precollected
13for the purpose of convenience and facility only. Cigarette
14manufacturers that are distributors licensed under Section
157(a) of this Act and who place their cigarettes in original
16packages which are contained inside a sealed transparent
17wrapper, before delivering such cigarettes or causing such
18cigarettes to be delivered in this State to purchasers, shall
19evidence their obligation to collect and remit the tax due
20with respect to such cigarettes by imprinting language to be
21prescribed by the Department on each original package of such
22cigarettes underneath the sealed transparent outside wrapper
23of such original package, in such place thereon and in such
24manner as the Department may prescribe; provided (as stated
25hereinbefore) that this requirement does not apply when such
26distributor is required or authorized by the Cigarette Tax Act

HB4071- 152 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1to place the tax imprint provided for in the last paragraph of
2Section 3 of that Act underneath the sealed transparent
3wrapper of such original package of cigarettes. Such imprinted
4language shall acknowledge the manufacturer's collection and
5payment of or liability for the tax imposed by this Act with
6respect to such cigarettes.
7 The Department shall adopt the design or designs of the
8tax stamps and shall procure the printing of such stamps in
9such amounts and denominations as it deems necessary to
10provide for the affixation of the proper amount of tax stamps
11to each original package of cigarettes.
12 Where tax stamps are required, the Department may
13authorize distributors to affix revenue tax stamps by
14imprinting tax meter stamps upon original packages of
15cigarettes. The Department shall adopt rules and regulations
16relating to the imprinting of such tax meter stamps as will

3 1. The name of the operator;
4 2. His residence address and the address of his
5 principal place of business and the address of the
6 principal place of business (if that is a different
7 address) from which he engages in the business of renting,

9 3. Total amount of rental receipts received by him
10 during the preceding calendar month from renting, leasing
11 or letting rooms during such preceding calendar month;
12 4. Total amount of rental receipts received by him

22 8. Such other reasonable information as the Department
23 may require.
24 If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the
25Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
26his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the

HB4071- 155 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1return for January, February and March of a given year being
2due by April 30 of such year; with the return for April, May
3and June of a given year being due by July 31 of such year;
4with the return for July, August and September of a given year
5being due by October 31 of such year, and with the return for
6October, November and December of a given year being due by
7January 31 of the following year.
8 If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the
9Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize

11a given year being due by January 31 of the following year.
12 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and

15 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
16the time within which an operator may file his return, in the
17case of any operator who ceases to engage in a kind of business
18which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
19such operator shall file a final return under this Act with the
20Department not more than 1 month after discontinuing such
21business.
22 Where the same person has more than 1 business registered
23with the Department under separate registrations under this
24Act, such person shall not file each return that is due as a
25single return covering all such registered businesses, but
26shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

HB4071- 156 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1 In his return, the operator shall determine the value of
2any consideration other than money received by him in
3connection with the renting, leasing or letting of rooms in

5his return. Such determination shall be subject to review and
6revision by the Department in the manner hereinafter provided
7for the correction of returns.

17less the vendor discount amount a discount of 2.1% or $25 per
18calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
19reimburse the operator for the expenses incurred in keeping
20records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and
21supplying data to the Department on request. Prior to January
221, 2024, the vendor discount amount shall be 2.1% or $25 per
23calendar year, whichever is greater. On and after January 1,
242024, the vendor discount amount shall be 2% of the proceeds
25collected during the calendar year; however, on and after
26January 1, 2024, in no event shall the discount allowed to any

HB4071- 157 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1person be less than $5 in any calendar year or more than $1,000
2in any calendar year.
3 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
4operator's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
5return, the Department may authorize the operator to credit
6such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
7remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
8reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
9subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
10taken was not actually due to the operator, the operator's
11discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
12between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
13actually due, and that operator shall be liable for penalties
14and interest on such difference.
15 Beginning February 1, 2024, each month the Department
16shall pay into the Working Families Fund an amount equal to any
17net revenue realized for the preceding month as a result of the
18limit on the vendor's discount of $1,000 annually and the
19difference between the vendor's discount of 2% and 2.1%.

21State Treasury for each State fiscal year 40% of the amount of
22total net proceeds from the tax imposed by subsection (a) of
23Section 3 net of any such proceeds paid into the Working
24Families Fund. Of the remaining 60% net of any such proceeds

5Sports Facilities Fund and credited to the Advance Account
6each fiscal year by making monthly deposits in the amount of
71/8 of $8,000,000 plus any cumulative deficiencies in such
8deposits for prior months; provided, that for fiscal years
9ending after June 30, 2001, the amount to be so deposited into
10the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund and credited to the
11Advance Account each fiscal year shall be increased from
12$8,000,000 to the then applicable Advance Amount and the
13required monthly deposits beginning with July 2001 shall be in
14the amount of 1/8 of the then applicable Advance Amount plus
15any cumulative deficiencies in those deposits for prior
16months. (The deposits of the additional $8,000,000 or the then
17applicable Advance Amount, as applicable, during each fiscal
18year shall be treated as advances of funds to the Illinois
19Sports Facilities Authority for its corporate purposes to the
20extent paid to the Authority or its trustee and shall be repaid
21into the General Revenue Fund in the State Treasury by the
22State Treasurer on behalf of the Authority pursuant to Section
2319 of the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority Act, as

26Revenue Fund, then the deficiency shall be paid from the

HB4071- 159 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1amount in the Local Government Distributive Fund that would
2otherwise be allocated to the City of Chicago under the State

6subsequent fiscal years through fiscal year 2033, 105.615% of
7the Advance Amount for the immediately preceding fiscal year,

10taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
11Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
12less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
13information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
14Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
15of gross receipts as shown by the operator's last State income
16tax return. If the total receipts of the business as reported
17in the State income tax return do not agree with the gross
18receipts reported to the Department for the same period, the
19operator shall attach to his annual information return a
20schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
21reasons for the difference. The operator's annual information
22return to the Department shall also disclose pay roll
23information of the operator's business during the year covered
24by such return and any additional reasonable information which
25the Department deems would be helpful in determining the

22 Section 45. The Motor Fuel Tax Law is amended by changing
23Sections 2b, 6, and 6a as follows:
24 (35 ILCS 505/2b) (from Ch. 120, par. 418b)

HB4071- 163 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1 Sec. 2b. Receiver's monthly return. In addition to the tax
2collection and reporting responsibilities imposed elsewhere in
3this Act, a person who is required to pay the tax imposed by
4Section 2a of this Act shall pay the tax to the Department by
5return showing all fuel purchased, acquired or received and
6sold, distributed or used during the preceding calendar month
7including losses of fuel as the result of evaporation or
8shrinkage due to temperature variations, and such other
9reasonable information as the Department may require. Losses
10of fuel as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to
11temperature variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons
12in storage at the beginning of the month, plus the receipts of
13gallonage during the month, minus the gallonage remaining in
14storage at the end of the month. Any loss reported that is in
15excess of this amount shall be subject to the tax imposed by
16Section 2a of this Law. On and after July 1, 2001, for each
176-month period January through June, net losses of fuel (for
18each category of fuel that is required to be reported on a
19return) as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to
20temperature variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons
21in storage at the beginning of each January, plus the receipts
22of gallonage each January through June, minus the gallonage
23remaining in storage at the end of each June. On and after July
241, 2001, for each 6-month period July through December, net
25losses of fuel (for each category of fuel that is required to
26be reported on a return) as the result of evaporation or

HB4071- 164 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1shrinkage due to temperature variations may not exceed 1% of
2the total gallons in storage at the beginning of each July,
3plus the receipts of gallonage each July through December,
4minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the end of each
5December. Any net loss reported that is in excess of this
6amount shall be subject to the tax imposed by Section 2a of
7this Law. For purposes of this Section, "net loss" means the
8number of gallons gained through temperature variations minus
9the number of gallons lost through temperature variations or
10evaporation for each of the respective 6-month periods.
11 The return shall be prescribed by the Department and shall
12be filed between the 1st and 20th days of each calendar month.
13The Department may, in its discretion, combine the returns
14filed under this Section, Section 5, and Section 5a of this
15Act. The return must be accompanied by appropriate
16computer-generated magnetic media supporting schedule data in
17the format required by the Department, unless, as provided by
18rule, the Department grants an exception upon petition of a
19taxpayer. If the return is filed timely, the seller shall take
20a discount of 2% through June 30, 2003 and 1.75% thereafter
21which is allowed to reimburse the seller for the expenses
22incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
23collecting and remitting the tax and supplying data to the
24Department on request. Prior to January 1, 2024, the vendor
25discount amount shall be 1.75%. On and after January 1, 2024,
26the vendor discount amount shall be 2% of the proceeds

HB4071- 165 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1collected during the calendar year; however, on and after
2January 1, 2024, in no event shall the discount allowed to any
3person be less than $5 in any calendar year or more than $1,000
4in any calendar year. The discount, however, shall be
5applicable only to the amount of payment which accompanies a
6return that is filed timely in accordance with this Section.
7The discount under this Section is not allowed for taxes paid
8on aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use
9requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133.
10 Beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending with returns due
11on January 20, 2021, each person who is required to pay the tax
12imposed under Section 2a of this Act on aviation fuel sold or
13used in this State during the preceding calendar month shall,
14instead of reporting and paying tax on aviation fuel as
15otherwise required by this Section, report and pay such tax on
16a separate aviation fuel tax return or a separate line on the
17return. The requirements related to the return shall be as
18otherwise provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other
19provisions of this Act to the contrary, a person required to
20pay the tax imposed by Section 2a of this Act on aviation fuel
21shall file all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all
22aviation fuel tax payments by electronic means in the manner
23and form required by the Department. For purposes of this Law,
24"aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation gasoline.
25 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
26receiver's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original

HB4071- 166 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1return, the Department may authorize the receiver to credit
2such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
3remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
4reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
5subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
6taken was not actually due to the receiver, the receiver's
7discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
8between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
9actually due, and that receiver shall be liable for penalties
10and interest on such difference.
11(Source: P.A. 100-1171, eff. 1-4-19; 101-10, eff. 6-5-19;

13 (35 ILCS 505/6) (from Ch. 120, par. 422)
14 Sec. 6. Collection of tax; distributors. A distributor who
15sells or distributes any motor fuel, which he is required by
16Section 5 to report to the Department when filing a return,
17shall (except as hereinafter provided) collect at the time of
18such sale and distribution, the amount of tax imposed under
19this Act on all such motor fuel sold and distributed, and at
20the time of making a return, the distributor shall pay to the
21Department the amount so collected less a discount of 2%
22through June 30, 2003 and 1.75% thereafter which is allowed to
23reimburse the distributor for the expenses incurred in keeping
24records, preparing and filing returns, collecting and
25remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department on

HB4071- 167 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1request, and shall also pay to the Department an amount equal
2to the amount that would be collectible as a tax in the event
3of a sale thereof on all such motor fuel used by said
4distributor during the period covered by the return. Prior to
5July 1, 2003, the discount amount shall be 2%. From July 1,
62003 through December 31, 2023, the discount amount shall be
71.75%. On and after January 1, 2024, the discount amount shall
8be 2% of the proceeds collected during the calendar year;
9however, on and after January 1, 2024, in no event shall the
10discount allowed to any distributor be less than $5 in any
11calendar year or more than $1,000 in any calendar year.
12However, no payment shall be made based upon dyed diesel fuel
13used by the distributor for non-highway purposes. The discount
14shall only be applicable to the amount of tax payment which
15accompanies a return which is filed timely in accordance with
16Section 5 of this Act. In each subsequent sale of motor fuel on
17which the amount of tax imposed under this Act has been
18collected as provided in this Section, the amount so collected
19shall be added to the selling price, so that the amount of tax
20is paid ultimately by the user of the motor fuel. However, no
21collection or payment shall be made in the case of the sale or
22use of any motor fuel to the extent to which such sale or use
23of motor fuel may not, under the constitution and statutes of
24the United States, be made the subject of taxation by this
25State. A person whose license to act as a distributor of fuel
26has been revoked shall, at the time of making a return, also

HB4071- 168 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b

2be collectible as a tax in the event of a sale thereof on all
3motor fuel, which he is required by the second paragraph of
4Section 5 to report to the Department in making a return, and
5which he had on hand on the date on which the license was
6revoked, and with respect to which no tax had been previously
7paid under this Act.
8 A distributor may make tax free sales of motor fuel, with
9respect to which he is otherwise required to collect the tax,
10only as specified in the following items 1 through 7.
11 1. When the sale is made to a person holding a valid
12 unrevoked license as a distributor, by making a specific
13 notation thereof on invoices or sales slip covering each
14 sale.
15 2. When the sale is made with delivery to a purchaser
16 outside of this State.
17 3. When the sale is made to the Federal Government or
18 its instrumentalities.
19 4. When the sale is made to a municipal corporation
20 owning and operating a local transportation system for
21 public service in this State when an official certificate
22 of exemption is obtained in lieu of the tax.
23 5. When the sale is made to a privately owned public
24 utility owning and operating 2 axle vehicles designed and
25 used for transporting more than 7 passengers, which

2 specialized purpose and are operated entirely within the
3 territorial limits of a single municipality or of any
4 group of contiguous municipalities, or in a close radius
5 thereof, and the operations of which are subject to the
6 regulations of the Illinois Commerce Commission, when an
7 official certificate of exemption is obtained in lieu of
8 the tax.
9 6. When a sale of special fuel is made to a person
10 holding a valid, unrevoked license as a supplier, by

14 licensed distributor to the end user of the fuel who is not
15 a licensed distributor or a licensed supplier for
16 non-highway purposes and the fuel is (i) delivered from a
17 vehicle designed for the specific purpose of such sales
18 and delivered directly into a stationary bulk storage tank
19 that displays the notice required by Section 4f of this
20 Act, (ii) delivered from a vehicle designed for the
21 specific purpose of such sales and delivered directly into
22 the fuel supply tanks of non-highway vehicles that are not

15the Simplified Municipal Telecommunications Tax Act that
16exceed $1,000 shall make all payments by electronic funds
17transfer as required by rules of the Department and shall file
18the return required by this Section by electronic means as
19required by rules of the Department.
20 If the retailer's average monthly tax billings due to the
21Department under this Act and the Simplified Municipal
22Telecommunications Tax Act do not exceed $1,000, the
23Department may authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter
24annual basis, with the return for January, February and March
25of a given year being due by April 30 of such year; with the
26return for April, May and June of a given year being due by

9retailer's actual tax collections for the month or 25% of the
10retailer's actual tax collections for the same calendar month
11of the preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly
12payments shall be credited against the final liability of the
13retailer's return for that month. Any outstanding credit,
14approved by the Department, arising from the retailer's
15overpayment of its final liability for any month may be
16applied to reduce the amount of any subsequent quarter monthly
17payment or credited against the final liability of the
18retailer's return for any subsequent month. If any quarter
19monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
20required by this Section, the retailer shall be liable for

9remitted. On and after January 1, 2024, in no event shall the
10discount allowed to any retailer be more than $1,000 in any
11calendar year.
12 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
13retailer's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
14return, the Department may authorize the retailer to credit
15such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
16remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
17reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
18subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
19taken was not actually due to the retailer, the retailer's
20discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
21between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
22actually due, and that retailer shall be liable for penalties
23and interest on such difference.
24 Beginning February 1, 2024, each month the Department
25shall pay into the Working Families Fund an amount equal to any

21 (3) the remainder shall be deposited into the General
22 Revenue Fund.
23 On and after February 1, 1998, however, of the moneys
24received by the Department of Revenue pursuant to the

10by that manufacturer or importing distributor other than in an
11authorized tax-free manner shall pay to the Department the
12amount of the tax imposed pursuant to Section 8-1, less a
13discount which is allowed to reimburse the manufacturer or
14importing distributor for the expenses incurred in keeping and
15maintaining records, preparing and filing the electronic
16returns, remitting the tax, and supplying data to the
17Department upon request.

5 shall the discount allowed to any manufacturer or
6 distributor be less than $5 in any calendar year or more
7 than $1,000 in any calendar year.
8 The Department may, if it deems it necessary in order to
9insure the payment of the tax imposed by this Article, require
10returns to be made more frequently than and covering periods
11of less than a month. Such return shall contain such further
12information as the Department may reasonably require.
13 It shall be presumed that all alcoholic liquors acquired
14or made by any importing distributor or manufacturer have been
15sold or used by him in this State and are the basis for the tax
16imposed by this Article unless proven, to the satisfaction of
17the Department, that such alcoholic liquors are (1) still in
18the possession of such importing distributor or manufacturer,
19or (2) prior to the termination of possession have been lost by
20theft or through unintentional destruction, or (3) that such
21alcoholic liquors are otherwise exempt from taxation under
22this Act.
23 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
24manufacturer's or importing distributor's liabilities under
25this Act, as shown on an original report, the manufacturer or
26importing distributor may credit such excess payment against

HB4071- 190 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department under
2this Act, in accordance with reasonable rules adopted by the
3Department. If the Department subsequently determines that all
4or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
5manufacturer or importing distributor, the manufacturer's or
6importing distributor's discount shall be reduced by an amount
7equal to the difference between the discount as applied to the
8credit taken and that actually due, and the manufacturer or
9importing distributor shall be liable for penalties and
10interest on such difference.
11 The Department may require any foreign importer to file
12monthly information returns, by the 15th day of the month
13following the month which any such return covers, if the
14Department determines this to be necessary to the proper
15performance of the Department's functions and duties under
16this Act. Such return shall contain such information as the
17Department may reasonably require.
18 Every manufacturer and importing distributor, except for a
19manufacturer or importing distributor that in the preceding
20year had less than $50,000 of tax liability under this
21Article, shall also file, with the Department, a bond in an
22amount not less than $1,000 and not to exceed $100,000 on a
23form to be approved by, and with a surety or sureties
24satisfactory to, the Department. Such bond shall be
25conditioned upon the manufacturer or importing distributor
26paying to the Department all monies becoming due from such

HB4071- 191 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1manufacturer or importing distributor under this Article. The
2Department shall fix the penalty of such bond in each case,
3taking into consideration the amount of alcoholic liquor
4expected to be sold and used by such manufacturer or importing
5distributor, and the penalty fixed by the Department shall be
6sufficient, in the Department's opinion, to protect the State
7of Illinois against failure to pay any amount due under this
8Article, but the amount of the penalty fixed by the Department
9shall not exceed twice the amount of tax liability of a monthly
10return, nor shall the amount of such penalty be less than
11$1,000. The Department shall notify the State Commission of
12the Department's approval or disapproval of any such
13manufacturer's or importing distributor's bond, or of the
14termination or cancellation of any such bond, or of the
15Department's direction to a manufacturer or importing
16distributor that he must file additional bond in order to
17comply with this Section. The Commission shall not issue a
18license to any applicant for a manufacturer's or importing
19distributor's license unless the Commission has received a
20notification from the Department showing that such applicant
21has filed a satisfactory bond with the Department hereunder
22and that such bond has been approved by the Department.
23Failure by any licensed manufacturer or importing distributor
24to keep a satisfactory bond in effect with the Department or to
25furnish additional bond to the Department, when required
26hereunder by the Department to do so, shall be grounds for the

HB4071- 192 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1revocation or suspension of such manufacturer's or importing
2distributor's license by the Commission. If a manufacturer or
3importing distributor fails to pay any amount due under this
4Article, his bond with the Department shall be deemed
5forfeited, and the Department may institute a suit in its own
6name on such bond.
7 After notice and opportunity for a hearing the State
8Commission may revoke or suspend the license of any
9manufacturer or importing distributor who fails to comply with
10the provisions of this Section. Notice of such hearing and the
11time and place thereof shall be in writing and shall contain a
12statement of the charges against the licensee. Such notice may
13be given by United States registered or certified mail with
14return receipt requested, addressed to the person concerned at
15his last known address and shall be given not less than 7 days
16prior to the date fixed for the hearing. An order revoking or
17suspending a license under the provisions of this Section may
18be reviewed in the manner provided in Section 7-10 of this Act.
19No new license shall be granted to a person whose license has
20been revoked for a violation of this Section or, in case of
21suspension, shall such suspension be terminated until he has
22paid to the Department all taxes and penalties which he owes
23the State under the provisions of this Act.
24 Every manufacturer or importing distributor who has, as
25verified by the Department, continuously complied with the
26conditions of the bond under this Act for a period of 2 years

HB4071- 193 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1shall be considered to be a prior continuous compliance
2taxpayer. In determining the consecutive period of time for
3qualification as a prior continuous compliance taxpayer, any
4consecutive period of time of qualifying compliance
5immediately prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act
6of 1987 shall be credited to any manufacturer or importing
7distributor.
8 A manufacturer or importing distributor that is a prior
9continuous compliance taxpayer under this Section and becomes
10a successor as the result of an acquisition, merger, or
11consolidation of a manufacturer or importing distributor shall
12be deemed to be a prior continuous compliance taxpayer with
13respect to the acquired, merged, or consolidated entity.
14 Every prior continuous compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
15from the bond requirements of this Act until the Department
16has determined the taxpayer to be delinquent in the filing of
17any return or deficient in the payment of any tax under this
18Act. Any taxpayer who fails to pay an admitted or established
19liability under this Act may also be required to post bond or
20other acceptable security with the Department guaranteeing the
21payment of such admitted or established liability.
22 The Department shall discharge any surety and shall
23release and return any bond or security deposit assigned,
24pledged or otherwise provided to it by a taxpayer under this
25Section within 30 days after: (1) such taxpayer becomes a
26prior continuous compliance taxpayer; or (2) such taxpayer has

HB4071- 194 -LRB103 32235 HLH 61432 b
1ceased to collect receipts on which he is required to remit tax
2to the Department, has filed a final tax return, and has paid
3to the Department an amount sufficient to discharge his
4remaining tax liability as determined by the Department under
5this Act.
