22computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
23calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
24taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
25the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
26to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the

HB5447- 35 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
2threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
3Department for change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
4and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
5the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
6continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
7the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
8quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
9month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
10taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
11computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
12calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
13taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
14the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
15to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
16reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
17threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
18Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
19The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
20unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
21likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
22be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
231.25% in Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd
24General Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not occurred.
25Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this
26paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in this amendatory

HB5447- 36 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1Act of the 103rd General Assembly on sales tax holiday items
2had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after
3July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's
4liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year"
5shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public
6Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly
7on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. For quarter
8monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2024 and through June
930, 2025, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
10calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as
11if the rate reduction to 1.25% in this amendatory Act of the
12103rd General Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not
13occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined
14under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public
15Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly
16on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
17premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
18food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft
19drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate
20consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments
21due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through
22June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
23calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as
24if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 this
25amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly had not occurred.
26If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or

HB5447- 37 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer
2shall be liable for penalties and interest on the difference
3between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
4monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as
5the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to
6the Department in excess of the minimum payments previously
7due as provided in this Section. The Department shall make
8reasonable rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly
9payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers
10who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
11 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
12the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
13Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
14Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
15the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
16no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
17memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
18in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
19taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
20similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
21Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
22in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
23prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
24payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
25after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
26unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,

HB5447- 38 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
2liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
3Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
4the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
5accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
6the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
7all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
8taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
9be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
10credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
11liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
12 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
13return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
14the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
15authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
16with the return for January, February, and March of a given
17year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
18April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
19such year; with the return for July, August and September of a
20given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
21return for October, November and December of a given year
22being due by January 20 of the following year.
23 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
24quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
25liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
26Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual

HB5447- 39 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
2of the following year.
3 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
4substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
5monthly returns.
6 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
7the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
8case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
9which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
10such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
11Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
12business.
13 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
14aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
15an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
16Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
17property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
18prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
19for each such item of tangible personal property which the
20retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
21retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
22transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
23trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
24trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
25of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
26more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer

HB5447- 40 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
2provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
3report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
4vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
5Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
6return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means
7a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
83-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
9watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
10 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
11aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
12an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
13business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
14connection with such business, sells any such item to a
15retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
16other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
17meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
18the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
19or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
20Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
21return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
22month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
23other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
24under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
25manner and form as required by the Department.
26 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor

HB5447- 41 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
2an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
3Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
4Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
5the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
6selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
7traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
8for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
9extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
10the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
11deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
12price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
13such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
14purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
15evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
16if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
17sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
18other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
19Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
20Department may reasonably require.
21 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
22and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
23name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
24price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
25traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
26for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the

HB5447- 42 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
2the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
3deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
4price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
5such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
6purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
7evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
8if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
9sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
10such other information as the Department may reasonably
11require.
12 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
13than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
14being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
15than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
16return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
17that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
18Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
19officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
20titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
21if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
22that this procedure will expedite the processing of
23applications for title or registration.
24 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
25shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
26satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is

HB5447- 43 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
2Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
3(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
4that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
5may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
6whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
7that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
8support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
9certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
10tangible personal property.
11 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
12Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
13retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
14evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
15is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
16paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
17Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
18mandate of this paragraph.
19 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
20wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
21of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
22retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
23paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
24of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
25being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
26the information required by the transaction reporting return

HB5447- 44 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
2the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
3determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
4and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
5credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
6with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
7provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
8the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
9same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
10if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
11 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
12selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
13the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
14property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
15the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
16purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
17filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
18to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax
19so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax
20which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
21Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
22to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
23such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
24amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
25deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
26purchaser.

HB5447- 45 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
2include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
3covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
4personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
5but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
6from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
7remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
8return.
9 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
10Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
11return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
12returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
13Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
14Acts on the one form.
15 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
16with the Department under separate registration under this
17Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
18single return covering all such registered businesses, but
19shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
20 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

13agency of this State's government and (ii) aviation fuel sold
14on or after December 1, 2019. This exception for aviation fuel
15only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
16U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
17 For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each
18month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program
19Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month

21fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be
22required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation
23fuel under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the
24Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund. The Department shall only

8Section 3-6, is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the
9Department shall pay 100% of the net revenue realized for that
10month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of sales tax
11holiday items into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund.
12 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

1 Eligible property that customers purchase during the sales
2 tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period with the use
3 of a rain check will qualify for the reduced rate of tax
4 regardless of when the rain check was issued. Issuance of
5 a rain check during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
6 Holiday Period will not qualify eligible property for the
7 reduced rate of tax if the property is actually purchased
8 after the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday
9 Period.
10 (5) Exchanges. The procedure for an exchange in
11 regards to a sales tax holiday is as follows:

13 property during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
14 Holiday Period, but later exchanges the item for a
15 similar eligible item, even if a different size,
16 different color, or other feature, no additional tax
17 is due even if the exchange is made after the sales tax
18 holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period.
19 (B) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
20 property during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
21 Holiday Period, but after the sales tax holiday period
22 Sales Tax Holiday Period has ended, the customer
23 returns the item and receives credit on the purchase
24 of a different item, the 6.25% general merchandise
25 sales tax rate is due on the sale of the newly
26 purchased item.

HB5447- 67 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1 (C) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
2 property before the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
3 Holiday Period, but during the sales tax holiday
4 period Sales Tax Holiday Period the customer returns
5 the item and receives credit on the purchase of a
6 different item of eligible property, the reduced rate
7 of tax is due on the sale of the new item if the new
8 item is purchased during the sales tax holiday period
9 Sales Tax Holiday Period.
10 (6) (Blank).
11 (7) Order date and back orders. For the purpose of a
12 sales tax holiday, eligible property qualifies for the
13 reduced rate of tax if: (i) the item is both delivered to
14 and paid for by the customer during the sales tax holiday
15 period Sales Tax Holiday Period or (ii) the customer
16 orders and pays for the item and the seller accepts the
17 order during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
18 Holiday Period for immediate shipment, even if delivery is
19 made after the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday
20 Period. The seller accepts an order when the seller has
21 taken action to fill the order for immediate shipment.
22 Actions to fill an order include placement of an "in date"
23 stamp on an order or assignment of an "order number" to an
24 order within the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
25 Holiday Period. An order is for immediate shipment when
26 the customer does not request delayed shipment. An order

HB5447- 68 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1 is for immediate shipment notwithstanding that the
2 shipment may be delayed because of a backlog of orders or
3 because stock is currently unavailable to, or on back
4 order by, the seller.
5 (8) Returns. For a 60-day period immediately after the
6 sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period, if a
7 customer returns an item that would qualify for the
8 reduced rate of tax, credit for or refund of sales tax
9 shall be given only at the reduced rate unless the
10 customer provides a receipt or invoice that shows tax was
11 paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate, or the seller
12 has sufficient documentation to show that tax was paid at
13 the 6.25% general merchandise rate on the specific item.
14 This 60-day period is set solely for the purpose of
15 designating a time period during which the customer must
16 provide documentation that shows that the appropriate
17 sales tax rate was paid on returned merchandise. The
18 60-day period is not intended to change a seller's policy
19 on the time period during which the seller will accept
20 returns.
21 (b-5) As used in this Section, "sales tax holiday period"
22means:
23 (1) from August 6, 2010 through August 15, 2010;
24 (2) from August 5, 2022 through August 14, 2022; and
25 (3) in 2024 and each year thereafter, the 10-day
26 period that begins on the first Monday in August.

26Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal

HB5447- 86 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
2prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
3for each such item of tangible personal property which the
4retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
5retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
6transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
7trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
8retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii)
9a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
10trailers transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor
11vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as a qualifying
12rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this Act, then that
13seller may report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft,
14motor vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
15Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
16return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means
17a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
183-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
19watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
20 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
21aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
22an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
23business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
24connection with such business, sells any such item to a
25retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
26other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to

HB5447- 87 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
2the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
3or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
4Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
5return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
6month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
7other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
8under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
9manner and form as required by the Department.
10 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
11aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
12an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
13liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
14transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
15required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
16monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
17be required to file returns on an annual basis.
18 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
19vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
20an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
21Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
22Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
23the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
24selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
25traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
26for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the

HB5447- 88 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
2the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
3deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
4price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
5such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
6purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
7evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
8if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
9sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
10other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
11Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
12Department may reasonably require.
13 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
14or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
15name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
16price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
17traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
18for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
19extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
20the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
21deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
22price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
23such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
24purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
25evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
26if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the

HB5447- 89 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
2such other information as the Department may reasonably
3require.
4 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
5than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
6being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
7than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
8return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
9Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
10the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
11tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
12titling or registration is required) if the Department and
13such agency or State officer determine that this procedure
14will expedite the processing of applications for title or
15registration.
16 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
17shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
18satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
19the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
20Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
21receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
22satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
23purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
24officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
25personal property that is involved (if titling or registration
26is required) in support of such purchaser's application for an

HB5447- 90 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
2registration to such tangible personal property.
3 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
4Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
5retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
6evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
7is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
8paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
9Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
10mandate of this paragraph.
11 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
12wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
13of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
14the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has
15not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the
16fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
17being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
18the information required by the transaction reporting return
19and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
20the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
21determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
22and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
23credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
24with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
25provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
26the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the

HB5447- 91 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
2if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
3 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
4period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
5returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
6subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
7may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
8receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
9return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
10with respect to such receipts.
11 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
12behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
13vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
14accredited agent of such corporation.
15 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
16return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
17be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
18of the limited liability company.
19 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
20the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
21return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
22Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
23on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
24whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
25retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
26preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying

HB5447- 92 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1data to the Department on request. On and after January 1,
22021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling
3the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return
4under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the
5time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
6imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer
7using a certified service provider to file a return on its
8behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for
9Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount. When
10determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers
11shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the
121% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700
13this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. When
14determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers
15shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the
166.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday
17items under Public Act 102-700 or this amendatory Act of the
18103rd General Assembly this amendatory Act of the 102nd
19General Assembly. The discount under this Section is not
20allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel
21that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
2247107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made pursuant to
23Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on which
24such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
25retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
26transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount

HB5447- 93 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
2such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
3under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
4in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
5disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
6registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
7only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
8registration has become final.
9 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
10tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
11Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
12Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
13remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
14$10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
15quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
16month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
17during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
18payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
19last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
20On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average
21monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act, the
22Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service
23Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to
24be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
25$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
26quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each

HB5447- 94 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
2during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
3payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
4last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
5If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
6prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
7equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
8or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
9average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
10for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
11month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
12in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
13liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
14prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
15equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
16month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
17calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
18which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
19January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
20shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
21liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
22for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
23during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
24January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
25after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
26to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or

HB5447- 95 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
125% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
2the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
3liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
4prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
5equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
6month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
7month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
8liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
9of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
10final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
11Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
12the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
13taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
14or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
15continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
16the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
17quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
18month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
19taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
20computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
21calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
22taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
23the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
24to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
25reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
26threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the

HB5447- 96 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
2On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement
3of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
4taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000
5or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
6continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
7the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
8quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
9month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
10taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
11computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
12calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
13taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
14the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
15to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
16reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
17threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
18Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
19The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
20unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
21likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
22be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
230% in Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd
24General Assembly on food for human consumption that is to be
25consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
26alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult

HB5447- 97 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for
2immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly
3payments due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and
4through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for
5the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be
6determined as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700
7this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly had not
8occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined
9under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in
10Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
11Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. Quarter
12monthly payment status shall be determined under this
13paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in this amendatory
14Act of the 103rd General Assembly on sales tax holiday items
15had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after
16July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's
17liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year"
18shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public
19Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly
20on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. For quarter
21monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2024 and through June
2230, 2025, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
23calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as
24if the rate reduction to 1.25% in this amendatory Act of the
25103rd General Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not
26occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at

HB5447- 98 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
2taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
3difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
4amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
5paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
6payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
7minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
8The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
9govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
10payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
11monthly basis.
12 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
132001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
14quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
15is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
16prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
17excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
18calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
19required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
20Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
21month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
22during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
23September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
24each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
25taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
26during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after

HB5447- 99 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
222.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
327.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
4of the preceding calendar year. If the month during which such
5tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987,
6each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
7taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the
8taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
9preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
10shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
11taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
12Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
13requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
14Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
15such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
16the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less.
17If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
18in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
19penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as
20the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
21excess of the minimum payments previously due.
22 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
23October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
24required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
25any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
26collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid

HB5447- 100 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the
2preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
3with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
4payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
5last day of the month during which the liability is incurred.
6Each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
7taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
8taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
9preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
10shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
11taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
12Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
13requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
14Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
15taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
16preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
17highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
18than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
19liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
20quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
21than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
22at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
23liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
24insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
25month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
26 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the

HB5447- 101 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b
1taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
2Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
3shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
4requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
5memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
6credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
7the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
8Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
9in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
10prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
11taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
12subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
13the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
14Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
15regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
16subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
17taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
182.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or
191.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
20actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
21and interest on such difference.
22 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
23Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
24to the Department under this Act for the month for which the
25taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
26taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

4realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax imposed under
5this Act.
