10 Sec. 2. Definitions.
11 "Use" means the exercise by any person of any right or
12power over tangible personal property incident to the ownership
13of that property, except that it does not include the sale of
14such property in any form as tangible personal property in the
15regular course of business to the extent that such property is
16not first subjected to a use for which it was purchased, and
17does not include the use of such property by its owner for
18demonstration purposes: Provided that the property purchased
19is deemed to be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite
20first being used, to the extent to which it is resold as an
21ingredient of an intentionally produced product or by-product
22of manufacturing. "Use" does not mean the demonstration use or
23interim use of tangible personal property by a retailer before

HB0160 Engrossed- 95 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1he sells that tangible personal property. For watercraft or
2aircraft, if the period of demonstration use or interim use by
3the retailer exceeds 18 months, the retailer shall pay on the
4retailers' original cost price the tax imposed by this Act, and
5no credit for that tax is permitted if the watercraft or
6aircraft is subsequently sold by the retailer. "Use" does not
7mean the physical incorporation of tangible personal property,
8to the extent not first subjected to a use for which it was
9purchased, as an ingredient or constituent, into other tangible
10personal property (a) which is sold in the regular course of
11business or (b) which the person incorporating such ingredient
12or constituent therein has undertaken at the time of such
13purchase to cause to be transported in interstate commerce to
14destinations outside the State of Illinois: Provided that the
15property purchased is deemed to be purchased for the purpose of
16resale, despite first being used, to the extent to which it is
17resold as an ingredient of an intentionally produced product or
18by-product of manufacturing.
19 "Watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4

3 "Sale at retail" means any transfer of the ownership of or
4title to tangible personal property to a purchaser, for the
5purpose of use, and not for the purpose of resale in any form
6as tangible personal property to the extent not first subjected
7to a use for which it was purchased, for a valuable
8consideration: Provided that the property purchased is deemed
9to be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite first being
10used, to the extent to which it is resold as an ingredient of
11an intentionally produced product or by-product of

13to manufacturing pig iron or steel and sold is considered to be
14an intentionally produced by-product of manufacturing. "Sale
15at retail" includes any such transfer made for resale unless
16made in compliance with Section 2c of the Retailers' Occupation
17Tax Act, as incorporated by reference into Section 12 of this
18Act. Transactions whereby the possession of the property is
19transferred but the seller retains the title as security for
20payment of the selling price are sales.
21 "Sale at retail" shall also be construed to include any
22Illinois florist's sales transaction in which the purchase
23order is received in Illinois by a florist and the sale is for
24use or consumption, but the Illinois florist has a florist in
25another state deliver the property to the purchaser or the
26purchaser's donee in such other state.

HB0160 Engrossed- 97 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1 Nonreusable tangible personal property that is used by
2persons engaged in the business of operating a restaurant,
3cafeteria, or drive-in is a sale for resale when it is
4transferred to customers in the ordinary course of business as
5part of the sale of food or beverages and is used to deliver,
6package, or consume food or beverages, regardless of where
7consumption of the food or beverages occurs. Examples of those
8items include, but are not limited to nonreusable, paper and
9plastic cups, plates, baskets, boxes, sleeves, buckets or other
10containers, utensils, straws, placemats, napkins, doggie bags,
11and wrapping or packaging materials that are transferred to
12customers as part of the sale of food or beverages in the
13ordinary course of business.
14 The purchase, employment and transfer of such tangible
15personal property as newsprint and ink for the primary purpose
16of conveying news (with or without other information) is not a
17purchase, use or sale of tangible personal property.
18 "Selling price" means the consideration for a sale valued

25of the cost of the property sold, the cost of materials used,
26labor or service cost or any other expense whatsoever, but does

HB0160 Engrossed- 98 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1not include interest or finance charges which appear as
2separate items on the bill of sale or sales contract nor
3charges that are added to prices by sellers on account of the
4seller's tax liability under the "Retailers' Occupation Tax
5Act", or on account of the seller's duty to collect, from the
6purchaser, the tax that is imposed by this Act, or, except as
7otherwise provided with respect to any cigarette tax imposed by
8a home rule unit, on account of the seller's tax liability
9under any local occupation tax administered by the Department,
10or, except as otherwise provided with respect to any cigarette
11tax imposed by a home rule unit on account of the seller's duty
12to collect, from the purchasers, the tax that is imposed under
13any local use tax administered by the Department. Effective
14December 1, 1985, "selling price" shall include charges that
15are added to prices by sellers on account of the seller's tax
16liability under the Cigarette Tax Act, on account of the
17seller's duty to collect, from the purchaser, the tax imposed
18under the Cigarette Use Tax Act, and on account of the seller's
19duty to collect, from the purchaser, any cigarette tax imposed
20by a home rule unit. Beginning January 1, 2018, "selling price"
21shall not include any shipping or delivery charges, which means
22any freight, express, mail, truck, or other carrier conveyance
23or delivery process.
24 Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, for any motor
25vehicle, as defined in Section 1-146 of the Vehicle Code, that

2and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division that: (A) is
3a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
4converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
5camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
6living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
7configuration designed for the transportation of not less than
87 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle
9weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor vehicle
10of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of sale"
11means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
12lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
13monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
14lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
15received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
16that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
17including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
18charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
19Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
20from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
21at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
22motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
23on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
24the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
25tax imposed by this Act or to pay the tax imposed by the
26Retailers' Occupation Tax Act on those amounts. However, the

HB0160 Engrossed- 100 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the liability
2for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts directly to
3the Department in the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation
4Tax, and local retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in
5which the retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the
6retailer had accounted for the tax to the Department. For
7amounts received by the lessor from the lessee that are not
8calculated at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must
9file the return and pay the tax to the Department by the due
10date otherwise required by this Act for returns other than
11transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled under this Act
12to a discount for collecting and remitting the tax imposed
13under this Act to the Department with respect to the sale of
14the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to the discount
15provided in this Act shall be transferred to the lessor with
16respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any amount received
17by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is
18not calculated at the time the lease is executed; provided that
19the discount is only allowed if the return is timely filed and
20for amounts timely paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle
21that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of
22leasing for a defined period of longer than one year shall not
23be reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in
24tangible personal property owned by the lessor, nor shall it be
25reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in tangible
26personal property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether

HB0160 Engrossed- 101 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1the trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the
2lessor. In the case of a motor vehicle that is sold for the
3purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one
4year, the sale occurs at the time of the delivery of the
5vehicle, regardless of the due date of any lease payments. A
6lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the
7sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit
8against that liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the
9purchase of the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid
10with respect to any amount received by the lessor from the
11lessee for the leased vehicle that was not calculated at the
12time the lease was executed) if the selling price of the motor
13vehicle at the time of purchase was calculated using the
14definition of "selling price" as defined in this paragraph.
15Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
16contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make all payments
17required under this paragraph to the Department by electronic
18means in the manner and form as required by the Department.
19This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor vehicles for
20which, at the time the lease is entered into, the term of the
21lease is not a defined period, including leases with a defined
22initial period with the option to continue the lease on a
23month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial defined
24period.
25 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
26construed (including but not limited to any form of motor

HB0160 Engrossed- 102 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
2agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
3agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
4which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
5retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
6occasional sale.
7 "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
8 "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
9association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
10private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
11executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed
12by order of any court.
13 "Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the
14business of making sales at retail as defined in this Section.
15 A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
16(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
17property at retail is a retailer hereunder with respect to such
18sales (and not primarily in a service occupation)
19notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
20such tangible personal property on special order for the
21purchaser and in such a way as to render the property of value
22only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal property so
23produced on special order serves substantially the same
24function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
25property that are sold at retail.
26 A person whose activities are organized and conducted

HB0160 Engrossed- 103 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
2engages in selling tangible personal property at retail
3(whether to the public or merely to members and their guests)
4is a retailer with respect to such transactions, excepting only
5a person organized and operated exclusively for charitable,
6religious or educational purposes either (1), to the extent of
7sales by such person to its members, students, patients or
8inmates of tangible personal property to be used primarily for
9the purposes of such person, or (2), to the extent of sales by
10such person of tangible personal property which is not sold or
11offered for sale by persons organized for profit. The selling
12of school books and school supplies by schools at retail to
13students is not "primarily for the purposes of" the school
14which does such selling. This paragraph does not apply to nor
15subject to taxation occasional dinners, social or similar
16activities of a person organized and operated exclusively for
17charitable, religious or educational purposes, whether or not
18such activities are open to the public.
19 A person who is the recipient of a grant or contract under
20Title VII of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (P.L. 92-258) and
21serves meals to participants in the federal Nutrition Program
22for the Elderly in return for contributions established in
23amount by the individual participant pursuant to a schedule of
24suggested fees as provided for in the federal Act is not a
25retailer under this Act with respect to such transactions.
26 Persons who engage in the business of transferring tangible

HB0160 Engrossed- 104 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1personal property upon the redemption of trading stamps are
2retailers hereunder when engaged in such business.
3 The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
4property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
5being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
6such tangible personal property at retail or a sale through a
7bulk vending machine does not make such person a retailer
8hereunder. However, any person who is engaged in a business
9which is not subject to the tax imposed by the "Retailers'
10Occupation Tax Act" because of involving the sale of or a
11contract to sell real estate or a construction contract to
12improve real estate, but who, in the course of conducting such
13business, transfers tangible personal property to users or
14consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and
15which does not become real estate, under any provision of a
16construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
17agreement entered into with some other person arising out of or
18because of such nontaxable business, is a retailer to the
19extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
20transferred. If, in such transaction, a separate charge is made
21for the tangible personal property so transferred, the value of
22such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the amount so
23separately charged, but not less than the cost of such property
24to the transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of
25such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost to the
26transferor of such tangible personal property.

9means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
10lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
11monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
12lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
13received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
14that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
15including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
16charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
17Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
18from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
19at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
20motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
21on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
22the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
23tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to pay the tax imposed by this
24Act on those amounts. However, the lessor who purchased the
25motor vehicle assumes the liability for reporting and paying
26the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in the same

HB0160 Engrossed- 174 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local retailers'
2occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the retailer would
3have reported and paid such tax if the retailer had accounted
4for the tax to the Department. For amounts received by the
5lessor from the lessee that are not calculated at the time the
6lease is executed, the lessor must file the return and pay the
7tax to the Department by the due date otherwise required by
8this Act for returns other than transaction returns. If the
9retailer is entitled under this Act to a discount for
10collecting and remitting the tax imposed under this Act to the
11Department with respect to the sale of the motor vehicle to the
12lessor, then the right to the discount provided in this Act
13shall be transferred to the lessor with respect to the tax paid
14by the lessor for any amount received by the lessor from the
15lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the
16time the lease is executed; provided that the discount is only
17allowed if the return is timely filed and for amounts timely
18paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or
19after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined
20period of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the
21value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal
22property owned by the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the
23value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal
24property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether the
25trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the lessor.
26In the case of a motor vehicle that is sold for the purpose of

HB0160 Engrossed- 175 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1leasing for a defined period of longer than one year, the sale
2occurs at the time of the delivery of the vehicle, regardless
3of the due date of any lease payments. A lessor who incurs a
4Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the sale of a motor
5vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit against that
6liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the purchase of
7the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid with respect
8to any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the
9leased vehicle that was not calculated at the time the lease
10was executed) if the selling price of the motor vehicle at the
11time of purchase was calculated using the definition of
12"selling price" as defined in this paragraph. Notwithstanding
13any other provision of this Act to the contrary, lessors shall
14file all returns and make all payments required under this
15paragraph to the Department by electronic means in the manner
16and form as required by the Department. This paragraph does not
17apply to leases of motor vehicles for which, at the time the
18lease is entered into, the term of the lease is not a defined
19period, including leases with a defined initial period with the
20option to continue the lease on a month-to-month or other basis
21beyond the initial defined period.
22 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
23construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
24vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or

26agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item

HB0160 Engrossed- 176 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
2retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
3occasional sale.
4 "Gross receipts" from the sales of tangible personal
5property at retail means the total selling price or the amount
6of such sales, as hereinbefore defined. In the case of charge
7and time sales, the amount thereof shall be included only as
8and when payments are received by the seller. Receipts or other
9consideration derived by a seller from the sale, transfer or
10assignment of accounts receivable to a wholly owned subsidiary
11will not be deemed payments prior to the time the purchaser
12makes payment on such accounts.
13 "Department" means the Department of Revenue.

19 The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
20property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
21being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
22such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
23bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
24business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
25within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is

10agreement entered into with some other person arising out of or
11because of such nontaxable business, is engaged in the business
12of selling tangible personal property at retail to the extent
13of the value of the tangible personal property so transferred.
14If, in such a transaction, a separate charge is made for the
15tangible personal property so transferred, the value of such
16property, for the purpose of this Act, shall be the amount so
17separately charged, but not less than the cost of such property
18to the transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of
19such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost to the
20transferor of such tangible personal property. Construction
21contracts for the improvement of real estate consisting of
22engineering, installation, and maintenance of voice, data,
23video, security, and all telecommunication systems do not
24constitute engaging in a business of selling tangible personal
25property at retail within the meaning of this Act if they are

15business of selling tangible personal property at retail in
16this State without a certificate of registration from the
17Department. Application for a certificate of registration
18shall be made to the Department upon forms furnished by it.
19Each such application shall be signed and verified and shall
20state: (1) the name and social security number of the
21applicant; (2) the address of his principal place of business;
22(3) the address of the principal place of business from which
23he engages in the business of selling tangible personal
24property at retail in this State and the addresses of all other
25places of business, if any (enumerating such addresses, if any,

HB0160 Engrossed- 199 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1in a separate list attached to and made a part of the
2application), from which he engages in the business of selling
3tangible personal property at retail in this State; (4) the
4name and address of the person or persons who will be
5responsible for filing returns and payment of taxes due under
6this Act; (5) in the case of a publicly traded corporation, the

8Officer, and any other officer or employee with responsibility
9for preparing tax returns under this Act, along with the last 4
10digits of each of their social security numbers, and, in the
11case of all other corporations, the name, title, and social
12security number of each corporate officer; (6) in the case of a
13limited liability company, the name, social security number,
14and FEIN number of each manager and member; and (7) such other
15information as the Department may reasonably require. The
16application shall contain an acceptance of responsibility
17signed by the person or persons who will be responsible for
18filing returns and payment of the taxes due under this Act. If
19the applicant will sell tangible personal property at retail
20through vending machines, his application to register shall
21indicate the number of vending machines to be so operated. If
22requested by the Department at any time, that person shall
23verify the total number of vending machines he or she uses in
24his or her business of selling tangible personal property at
25retail.
26 The Department may deny a certificate of registration to

HB0160 Engrossed- 200 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1any applicant if a person who is named as the owner, a partner,
2a manager or member of a limited liability company, or a
3corporate officer of the applicant on the application for the
4certificate of registration is or has been named as the owner,
5a partner, a manager or member of a limited liability company,
6or a corporate officer on the application for the certificate
7of registration of another retailer that is in default for
8moneys due under this Act or any other tax or fee Act
9administered by the Department. For purposes of this paragraph
10only, in determining whether a person is in default for moneys
11due, the Department shall include only amounts established as a
12final liability within the 20 years prior to the date of the
13Department's notice of denial of a certificate of registration.
14 The Department may require an applicant for a certificate
15of registration hereunder to, at the time of filing such
16application, furnish a bond from a surety company authorized to
17do business in the State of Illinois, or an irrevocable bank
18letter of credit or a bond signed by 2 personal sureties who
19have filed, with the Department, sworn statements disclosing
20net assets equal to at least 3 times the amount of the bond to
21be required of such applicant, or a bond secured by an
22assignment of a bank account or certificate of deposit, stocks
23or bonds, conditioned upon the applicant paying to the State of
24Illinois all moneys becoming due under this Act and under any
25other State tax law or municipal or county tax ordinance or
26resolution under which the certificate of registration that is

HB0160 Engrossed- 201 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1issued to the applicant under this Act will permit the
2applicant to engage in business without registering separately
3under such other law, ordinance or resolution. In making a
4determination as to whether to require a bond or other
5security, the Department shall take into consideration whether
6the owner, any partner, any manager or member of a limited
7liability company, or a corporate officer of the applicant is
8or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or member of a
9limited liability company, or a corporate officer of another
10retailer that is in default for moneys due under this Act or
11any other tax or fee Act administered by the Department; and
12whether the owner, any partner, any manager or member of a
13limited liability company, or a corporate officer of the
14applicant is or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or
15member of a limited liability company, or a corporate officer
16of another retailer whose certificate of registration has been
17revoked within the previous 5 years under this Act or any other
18tax or fee Act administered by the Department. If a bond or
19other security is required, the Department shall fix the amount
20of the bond or other security, taking into consideration the
21amount of money expected to become due from the applicant under
22this Act and under any other State tax law or municipal or
23county tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate
24of registration that is issued to the applicant under this Act
25will permit the applicant to engage in business without
26registering separately under such other law, ordinance, or

HB0160 Engrossed- 202 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1resolution. The amount of security required by the Department
2shall be such as, in its opinion, will protect the State of
3Illinois against failure to pay the amount which may become due
4from the applicant under this Act and under any other State tax
5law or municipal or county tax ordinance or resolution under
6which the certificate of registration that is issued to the
7applicant under this Act will permit the applicant to engage in
8business without registering separately under such other law,
9ordinance or resolution, but the amount of the security
10required by the Department shall not exceed three times the
11amount of the applicant's average monthly tax liability, or
12$50,000.00, whichever amount is lower.
13 No certificate of registration under this Act shall be
14issued by the Department until the applicant provides the
15Department with satisfactory security, if required, as herein
16provided for.
17 Upon receipt of the application for certificate of
18registration in proper form, and upon approval by the
19Department of the security furnished by the applicant, if
20required, the Department shall issue to such applicant a
21certificate of registration which shall permit the person to
22whom it is issued to engage in the business of selling tangible
23personal property at retail in this State. The certificate of
24registration shall be conspicuously displayed at the place of
25business which the person so registered states in his
26application to be the principal place of business from which he

HB0160 Engrossed- 203 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1engages in the business of selling tangible personal property
2at retail in this State.
3 No certificate of registration issued to a taxpayer who
4files returns required by this Act on a monthly basis shall be
5valid after the expiration of 5 years from the date of its
6issuance or last renewal. The expiration date of a
7sub-certificate of registration shall be that of the
8certificate of registration to which the sub-certificate
9relates. A certificate of registration shall automatically be
10renewed, subject to revocation as provided by this Act, for an
11additional 5 years from the date of its expiration unless
12otherwise notified by the Department as provided by this
13paragraph. Where a taxpayer to whom a certificate of
14registration is issued under this Act is in default to the
15State of Illinois for delinquent returns or for moneys due
16under this Act or any other State tax law or municipal or
17county ordinance administered or enforced by the Department,
18the Department shall, not less than 60 days before the
19expiration date of such certificate of registration, give
20notice to the taxpayer to whom the certificate was issued of
21the account period of the delinquent returns, the amount of
22tax, penalty and interest due and owing from the taxpayer, and
23that the certificate of registration shall not be automatically
24renewed upon its expiration date unless the taxpayer, on or
25before the date of expiration, has filed and paid the
26delinquent returns or paid the defaulted amount in full. A

HB0160 Engrossed- 204 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1taxpayer to whom such a notice is issued shall be deemed an
2applicant for renewal. The Department shall promulgate
3regulations establishing procedures for taxpayers who file
4returns on a monthly basis but desire and qualify to change to
5a quarterly or yearly filing basis and will no longer be
6subject to renewal under this Section, and for taxpayers who
7file returns on a yearly or quarterly basis but who desire or
8are required to change to a monthly filing basis and will be
9subject to renewal under this Section.
10 The Department may in its discretion approve renewal by an
11applicant who is in default if, at the time of application for
12renewal, the applicant files all of the delinquent returns or
13pays to the Department such percentage of the defaulted amount
14as may be determined by the Department and agrees in writing to
15waive all limitations upon the Department for collection of the
16remaining defaulted amount to the Department over a period not
17to exceed 5 years from the date of renewal of the certificate;
18however, no renewal application submitted by an applicant who
19is in default shall be approved if the immediately preceding
20renewal by the applicant was conditioned upon the installment
21payment agreement described in this Section. The payment
22agreement herein provided for shall be in addition to and not
23in lieu of the security that may be required by this Section of
24a taxpayer who is no longer considered a prior continuous
25compliance taxpayer. The execution of the payment agreement as
26provided in this Act shall not toll the accrual of interest at

HB0160 Engrossed- 205 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1the statutory rate.
2 The Department may suspend a certificate of registration if
3the Department finds that the person to whom the certificate of
4registration has been issued knowingly sold contraband
5cigarettes.
6 A certificate of registration issued under this Act more
7than 5 years before the effective date of this amendatory Act
8of 1989 shall expire and be subject to the renewal provisions
9of this Section on the next anniversary of the date of issuance
10of such certificate which occurs more than 6 months after the
11effective date of this amendatory Act of 1989. A certificate of
12registration issued less than 5 years before the effective date
13of this amendatory Act of 1989 shall expire and be subject to
14the renewal provisions of this Section on the 5th anniversary
15of the issuance of the certificate.
16 If the person so registered states that he operates other
17places of business from which he engages in the business of
18selling tangible personal property at retail in this State, the
19Department shall furnish him with a sub-certificate of
20registration for each such place of business, and the applicant
21shall display the appropriate sub-certificate of registration
22at each such place of business. All sub-certificates of
23registration shall bear the same registration number as that
24appearing upon the certificate of registration to which such
25sub-certificates relate.
26 If the applicant will sell tangible personal property at

HB0160 Engrossed- 206 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1retail through vending machines, the Department shall furnish
2him with a sub-certificate of registration for each such
3vending machine, and the applicant shall display the
4appropriate sub-certificate of registration on each such
5vending machine by attaching the sub-certificate of
6registration to a conspicuous part of such vending machine. If
7a person who is registered to sell tangible personal property
8at retail through vending machines adds an additional vending
9machine or additional vending machines to the number of vending
10machines he or she uses in his or her business of selling
11tangible personal property at retail, he or she shall notify
12the Department, on a form prescribed by the Department, to
13request an additional sub-certificate or additional
14sub-certificates of registration, as applicable. With each
15such request, the applicant shall report the number of
16sub-certificates of registration he or she is requesting as
17well as the total number of vending machines from which he or
18she makes retail sales.
19 Where the same person engages in 2 or more businesses of
20selling tangible personal property at retail in this State,
21which businesses are substantially different in character or
22engaged in under different trade names or engaged in under
23other substantially dissimilar circumstances (so that it is
24more practicable, from an accounting, auditing or bookkeeping
25standpoint, for such businesses to be separately registered),
26the Department may require or permit such person (subject to

HB0160 Engrossed- 207 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1the same requirements concerning the furnishing of security as
2those that are provided for hereinbefore in this Section as to
3each application for a certificate of registration) to apply
4for and obtain a separate certificate of registration for each
5such business or for any of such businesses, under a single
6certificate of registration supplemented by related
7sub-certificates of registration.
8 Any person who is registered under the "Retailers'
9Occupation Tax Act" as of March 8, 1963, and who, during the
103-year period immediately prior to March 8, 1963, or during a
11continuous 3-year period part of which passed immediately
12before and the remainder of which passes immediately after
13March 8, 1963, has been so registered continuously and who is
14determined by the Department not to have been either delinquent
15or deficient in the payment of tax liability during that period
16under this Act or under any other State tax law or municipal or
17county tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate
18of registration that is issued to the registrant under this Act
19will permit the registrant to engage in business without
20registering separately under such other law, ordinance or
21resolution, shall be considered to be a Prior Continuous
22Compliance taxpayer. Also any taxpayer who has, as verified by
23the Department, faithfully and continuously complied with the
24condition of his bond or other security under the provisions of
25this Act for a period of 3 consecutive years shall be
26considered to be a Prior Continuous Compliance taxpayer.

HB0160 Engrossed- 208 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1 Every Prior Continuous Compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
2from all requirements under this Act concerning the furnishing
3of a bond or other security as a condition precedent to his
4being authorized to engage in the business of selling tangible
5personal property at retail in this State. This exemption shall
6continue for each such taxpayer until such time as he may be
7determined by the Department to be delinquent in the filing of
8any returns, or is determined by the Department (either through
9the Department's issuance of a final assessment which has
10become final under the Act, or by the taxpayer's filing of a
11return which admits tax that is not paid to be due) to be
12delinquent or deficient in the paying of any tax under this Act
13or under any other State tax law or municipal or county tax
14ordinance or resolution under which the certificate of
15registration that is issued to the registrant under this Act
16will permit the registrant to engage in business without
17registering separately under such other law, ordinance or
18resolution, at which time that taxpayer shall become subject to
19all the financial responsibility requirements of this Act and,
20as a condition of being allowed to continue to engage in the
21business of selling tangible personal property at retail, may
22be required to post bond or other acceptable security with the
23Department covering liability which such taxpayer may
24thereafter incur. Any taxpayer who fails to pay an admitted or
25established liability under this Act may also be required to
26post bond or other acceptable security with this Department

HB0160 Engrossed- 209 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1guaranteeing the payment of such admitted or established
2liability.
3 No certificate of registration shall be issued to any
4person who is in default to the State of Illinois for moneys
5due under this Act or under any other State tax law or
6municipal or county tax ordinance or resolution under which the
7certificate of registration that is issued to the applicant
8under this Act will permit the applicant to engage in business
9without registering separately under such other law, ordinance
10or resolution.
11 Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Department
12under this Section may, within 20 days after notice of such
13decision, protest and request a hearing, whereupon the
14Department shall give notice to such person of the time and
15place fixed for such hearing and shall hold a hearing in
16conformity with the provisions of this Act and then issue its
17final administrative decision in the matter to such person. In
18the absence of such a protest within 20 days, the Department's
19decision shall become final without any further determination
20being made or notice given.
21 With respect to security other than bonds (upon which the
22Department may sue in the event of a forfeiture), if the
23taxpayer fails to pay, when due, any amount whose payment such
24security guarantees, the Department shall, after such
25liability is admitted by the taxpayer or established by the
26Department through the issuance of a final assessment that has

HB0160 Engrossed- 210 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1become final under the law, convert the security which that
2taxpayer has furnished into money for the State, after first
3giving the taxpayer at least 10 days' written notice, by
4registered or certified mail, to pay the liability or forfeit
5such security to the Department. If the security consists of
6stocks or bonds or other securities which are listed on a
7public exchange, the Department shall sell such securities
8through such public exchange. If the security consists of an
9irrevocable bank letter of credit, the Department shall convert
10the security in the manner provided for in the Uniform
11Commercial Code. If the security consists of a bank certificate
12of deposit, the Department shall convert the security into
13money by demanding and collecting the amount of such bank
14certificate of deposit from the bank which issued such
15certificate. If the security consists of a type of stocks or
16other securities which are not listed on a public exchange, the
17Department shall sell such security to the highest and best
18bidder after giving at least 10 days' notice of the date, time
19and place of the intended sale by publication in the "State
20Official Newspaper". If the Department realizes more than the
21amount of such liability from the security, plus the expenses
22incurred by the Department in converting the security into
23money, the Department shall pay such excess to the taxpayer who
24furnished such security, and the balance shall be paid into the
25State Treasury.
26 The Department shall discharge any surety and shall release

HB0160 Engrossed- 211 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1and return any security deposited, assigned, pledged or
2otherwise provided to it by a taxpayer under this Section
3within 30 days after:
4 (1) such taxpayer becomes a Prior Continuous
5 Compliance taxpayer; or
6 (2) such taxpayer has ceased to collect receipts on
7 which he is required to remit tax to the Department, has
8 filed a final tax return, and has paid to the Department an
9 amount sufficient to discharge his remaining tax
10 liability, as determined by the Department, under this Act
11 and under every other State tax law or municipal or county
12 tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate of
13 registration issued under this Act permits the registrant
14 to engage in business without registering separately under
15 such other law, ordinance or resolution. The Department
16 shall make a final determination of the taxpayer's
17 outstanding tax liability as expeditiously as possible
18 after his final tax return has been filed; if the
19 Department cannot make such final determination within 45
20 days after receiving the final tax return, within such
21 period it shall so notify the taxpayer, stating its reasons
22 therefor.

19 When any tax imposed herein terminates or has terminated,
20distributors who have bought stamps while such tax was in
21effect and who therefore paid such tax, but who can show, to
22the Department's satisfaction, that they sold the cigarettes to
23which they affixed such stamps after such tax had terminated

15hereinafter required, and shall remit the tax collected from
16retailers to the Department, as hereinafter provided. Any
17distributor who fails to properly collect and pay the tax
18imposed by this Act shall be liable for the tax. Any
19distributor having cigarettes to which stamps have been affixed
20in his possession for sale on the effective date of this
21amendatory Act of 1989 shall not be required to pay the
22additional tax imposed by this amendatory Act of 1989 on such

19imposed by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly on
20those stamped cigarettes. Any distributor having cigarettes in
21his or her possession on June 24, 2012 to which tax stamps have
22been affixed, and any distributor having stamps in his or her
23possession on June 24, 2012 that have not been affixed to
24packages of cigarettes before June 24, 2012, is required to pay
25the additional tax that begins on June 24, 2012 imposed by this

22seller, the true name and address of the consignee or
23purchaser, and the quantity by brand style of the cigarettes so

2from all requirements under this Section concerning the
3furnishing of such bond, as defined in this Section, as a
4condition precedent to his being authorized to engage in the
5business licensed under this Act. This exemption shall continue
6for each such taxpayer until such time as he may be determined
7by the Department to be delinquent in the filing of any
8returns, or is determined by the Department (either through the
9Department's issuance of a final assessment which has become
10final under the Act, or by the taxpayer's filing of a return
11which admits tax to be due that is not paid) to be delinquent
12or deficient in the paying of any tax under this Act, at which
13time that taxpayer shall become subject to the bond
14requirements of this Section and, as a condition of being
15allowed to continue to engage in the business licensed under

2aggrieved by any decision of the Department under this Section
3may, within the time allowed by law, protest and request a
4hearing before the Department, whereupon the Department shall
5give notice and shall hold a hearing in conformity with the

8protests concerning matters that are subject to the
9jurisdiction of the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal shall be
10filed in accordance with the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal
11Act of 2012, and hearings concerning those matters shall be
12held before the Tribunal in accordance with that Act. With

17Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal Act of 2012 at any time on or
18after July 1, 2013, but not later than 30 days after the date
19on which the protest was filed. If made, the election shall be
20irrevocable. In the absence of such a protest filed within the
21time allowed by law, the Department's decision shall become
22final without any further determination being made or notice
23given.
24 The Department shall discharge any surety and shall release
25and return any bond or security deposited, assigned, pledged,

9 Department shall make a final determination of the
10 taxpayer's outstanding tax liability as expeditiously as
11 possible after his final tax return has been filed. If the
12 Department cannot make such final determination within 45
13 days after receiving the final tax return, within such
14 period it shall so notify the taxpayer, stating its reasons
15 therefor.
16 At the time of purchasing such stamps from the Department
17when purchase is required by this Act, or at the time when the
18tax which he has collected is remitted by a distributor to the
19Department without the purchase of stamps from the Department
20when that method of remitting the tax that has been collected
21is required or authorized by this Act, the distributor shall be
22allowed a discount during any year commencing July 1 and ending
23the following June 30 in accordance with the schedule set out
24hereinbelow, from the amount to be paid by him to the
25Department for such stamps, or to be paid by him to the
26Department on the basis of monthly remittances (as the case may

HB0160 Engrossed- 237 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1be), to cover the cost, to such distributor, of collecting the
2tax herein imposed by affixing such stamps to the original
3packages of cigarettes sold by such distributor or by placing
4tax imprints underneath the sealed transparent wrapper of
5original packages of cigarettes sold by such distributor (as
6the case may be): (1) Prior to December 1, 1985, a discount
7equal to 1-2/3% of the amount of the tax up to and including
8the first $700,000 paid hereunder by such distributor to the
9Department during any such year; 1-1/3% of the next $700,000 of
10tax or any part thereof, paid hereunder by such distributor to
11the Department during any such year; 1% of the next $700,000 of
12tax, or any part thereof, paid hereunder by such distributor to
13the Department during any such year; and 2/3 of 1% of the
14amount of any additional tax paid hereunder by such distributor
15to the Department during any such year or (2) On and after
16December 1, 1985, a discount equal to 1.75% of the amount of
17the tax payable under this Act up to and including the first
18$3,000,000 paid hereunder by such distributor to the Department
19during any such year and 1.5% of the amount of any additional
20tax paid hereunder by such distributor to the Department during
21any such year.
22 Two or more distributors that use a common means of
23affixing revenue tax stamps or that are owned or controlled by
24the same interests shall be treated as a single distributor for
25the purpose of computing the discount.
26 Cigarette manufacturers who are distributors under Section

HB0160 Engrossed- 238 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
17(a) of this Act, and who place their cigarettes in original
2packages which are contained inside a sealed transparent
3wrapper, shall be required to remit the tax which they are
4required to collect under this Act to the Department by
5remitting the amount thereof to the Department by the 5th day
6of each month, covering cigarettes shipped or otherwise
7delivered to points in Illinois to purchasers during the
8preceding calendar month, but a distributor need not remit to
9the Department the tax so collected by him from purchasers
10under this Act to the extent to which such distributor is
11required to remit the tax imposed by the Cigarette Tax Act to
12the Department with respect to the same cigarettes. All taxes
13upon cigarettes under this Act are a direct tax upon the retail
14consumer and shall conclusively be presumed to be precollected
15for the purpose of convenience and facility only. Cigarette
16manufacturers that are distributors licensed under Section
177(a) of this Act and who place their cigarettes in original
18packages which are contained inside a sealed transparent
19wrapper, before delivering such cigarettes or causing such
20cigarettes to be delivered in this State to purchasers, shall
21evidence their obligation to collect and remit the tax due with
22respect to such cigarettes by imprinting language to be
23prescribed by the Department on each original package of such
24cigarettes underneath the sealed transparent outside wrapper
25of such original package, in such place thereon and in such
26manner as the Department may prescribe; provided (as stated

HB0160 Engrossed- 239 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1hereinbefore) that this requirement does not apply when such
2distributor is required or authorized by the Cigarette Tax Act
3to place the tax imprint provided for in the last paragraph of
4Section 3 of that Act underneath the sealed transparent wrapper
5of such original package of cigarettes. Such imprinted language
6shall acknowledge the manufacturer's collection and payment of
7or liability for the tax imposed by this Act with respect to
8such cigarettes.
9 The Department shall adopt the design or designs of the tax
10stamps and shall procure the printing of such stamps in such
11amounts and denominations as it deems necessary to provide for
12the affixation of the proper amount of tax stamps to each
13original package of cigarettes.
14 Where tax stamps are required, the Department may authorize
15distributors to affix revenue tax stamps by imprinting tax
16meter stamps upon original packages of cigarettes. The
17Department shall adopt rules and regulations relating to the
18imprinting of such tax meter stamps as will result in payment
19of the proper taxes as herein imposed. No distributor may affix
20revenue tax stamps to original packages of cigarettes by
21imprinting meter stamps thereon unless such distributor has
22first obtained permission from the Department to employ this
23method of affixation. The Department shall regulate the use of
24tax meters and may, to assure the proper collection of the
25taxes imposed by this Act, revoke or suspend the privilege,
26theretofore granted by the Department to any distributor, to

HB0160 Engrossed- 240 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1imprint tax meter stamps upon original packages of cigarettes.
2 The tax hereby imposed and not paid pursuant to this
3Section shall be paid to the Department directly by any person
4using such cigarettes within this State, pursuant to Section 12
5hereof.
6 A distributor shall not affix, or cause to be affixed, any
7stamp or imprint to a package of cigarettes, as provided for in
8this Section, if the tobacco product manufacturer, as defined
9in Section 10 of the Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act,
10that made or sold the cigarettes has failed to become a
11participating manufacturer, as defined in subdivision (a)(1)
12of Section 15 of the Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act,
13or has failed to create a qualified escrow fund for any
14cigarettes manufactured by the tobacco product manufacturer
15and sold in this State or otherwise failed to bring itself into
16compliance with subdivision (a)(2) of Section 15 of the Tobacco
17Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act.

18remit to the Department the tax liability that the distributor
19has incurred for transactions occurring in the preceding
20calendar month.
21 (d) The Department may adopt rules to require the
22electronic filing of any return or document required to be

24from the filing requirement set forth in this paragraph for
25persons who demonstrate that they do not have access to the

5against liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department
6under this Act, in accordance with reasonable rules adopted by
7the Department.

3substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
4returns.
5 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
6the time within which an operator may file his return, in the
7case of any operator who ceases to engage in a kind of business

9such operator shall file a final return under this Act with the

14return, the Department may authorize the operator 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 operator, the operator'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 operator shall be liable for penalties
23and interest on such difference.

14entertainment facility, then he or she must file a final return
15under this Act with the Department not more than one calendar
16month after discontinuing that business.
17 (c) For each live adult entertainment facility paying the
18surcharge as set forth in item (2) of subsection (a) of this
19Section, the operator must file a return electronically as

18and Administration Fund in the State treasury from which it
19shall be appropriated to the Department to cover the costs of
20the Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of
21this Act.
22 (e) If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
23operator's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
24return, the operator may credit such excess payment against
25liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department under

21as provided by rule, the Department grants an exception upon
22petition of a purchaser.
23 (c) Any operator who makes a monetary payment to a producer
24for his or her portion of the value of products from a
25production unit shall withhold from such payment the amount of
26tax due from the producer. Any operator who pays any tax due

HB0160 Engrossed- 258 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1from a producer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
2producer for the tax so paid and may take credit for such
3amount from any monetary payment to the producer for the value
4of products. To the extent that an operator required to collect
5the tax imposed by this Act has actually collected that tax,
6such tax is held in trust for the benefit of the State of
7Illinois.
8 (d) In the event the operator fails to make payment of the

10where severed by the operator and sold to a purchaser or
11refiner, the State shall have a lien on all the oil or gas
12severed from the production unit in this State in the hands of

25 Section 25-45. The Motor Fuel Tax Law is amended by

HB0160 Engrossed- 260 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1changing Sections 2b, 5, 5a, and 13 as follows:
2 (35 ILCS 505/2b) (from Ch. 120, par. 418b)
3 Sec. 2b. Receiver's monthly return. In addition to the tax
4collection and reporting responsibilities imposed elsewhere in
5this Act, a person who is required to pay the tax imposed by
6Section 2a of this Act shall pay the tax to the Department by
7return showing all fuel purchased, acquired or received and
8sold, distributed or used during the preceding calendar month
9including losses of fuel as the result of evaporation or
10shrinkage due to temperature variations, and such other
11reasonable information as the Department may require. Losses of
12fuel as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to
13temperature variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons
14in storage at the beginning of the month, plus the receipts of
15gallonage during the month, minus the gallonage remaining in
16storage at the end of the month. Any loss reported that is in
17excess of this amount shall be subject to the tax imposed by
18Section 2a of this Law. On and after July 1, 2001, for each
196-month period January through June, net losses of fuel (for
20each category of fuel that is required to be reported on a
21return) as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to
22temperature variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons
23in storage at the beginning of each January, plus the receipts
24of gallonage each January through June, minus the gallonage
25remaining in storage at the end of each June. On and after July

HB0160 Engrossed- 261 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
11, 2001, for each 6-month period July through December, net
2losses of fuel (for each category of fuel that is required to
3be reported on a return) as the result of evaporation or
4shrinkage due to temperature variations may not exceed 1% of
5the total gallons in storage at the beginning of each July,
6plus the receipts of gallonage each July through December,
7minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the end of each
8December. Any net loss reported that is in excess of this
9amount shall be subject to the tax imposed by Section 2a of
10this Law. For purposes of this Section, "net loss" means the
11number of gallons gained through temperature variations minus
12the number of gallons lost through temperature variations or
13evaporation for each of the respective 6-month periods.
14 The return shall be prescribed by the Department and shall
15be filed between the 1st and 20th days of each calendar month.
16The Department may, in its discretion, combine the returns
17filed under this Section, Section 5, and Section 5a of this
18Act. The return must be accompanied by appropriate
19computer-generated magnetic media supporting schedule data in
20the format required by the Department, unless, as provided by
21rule, the Department grants an exception upon petition of a
22taxpayer. If the return is filed timely, the seller shall take
23a discount of 2% through June 30, 2003 and 1.75% thereafter
24which is allowed to reimburse the seller for the expenses
25incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
26collecting and remitting the tax and supplying data to the

HB0160 Engrossed- 262 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1Department on request. The discount, however, shall be
2applicable only to the amount of payment which accompanies a
3return that is filed timely in accordance with this Section.
4 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
5receiver's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
6return, the Department may authorize the receiver to credit
7such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
8remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
9reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
10subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
11taken was not actually due to the receiver, the receiver's
12discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
13between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
14actually due, and that receiver shall be liable for penalties
15and interest on such difference.

17 (35 ILCS 505/5) (from Ch. 120, par. 421)
18 Sec. 5. Distributor's monthly return. Except as
19hereinafter provided, a person holding a valid unrevoked
20license to act as a distributor of motor fuel shall, between
21the 1st and 20th days of each calendar month, make return to
22the Department, showing an itemized statement of the number of
23invoiced gallons of motor fuel of the types specified in this
24Section which were purchased, acquired, received, or exported
25during the preceding calendar month; the amount of such motor

HB0160 Engrossed- 263 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1fuel produced, refined, compounded, manufactured, blended,
2sold, distributed, exported, and used by the licensed
3distributor during the preceding calendar month; the amount of
4such motor fuel lost or destroyed during the preceding calendar
5month; the amount of such motor fuel on hand at the close of
6business for such month; and such other reasonable information
7as the Department may require. If a distributor's only
8activities with respect to motor fuel are either: (1)
9production of alcohol in quantities of less than 10,000 proof
10gallons per year or (2) blending alcohol in quantities of less
11than 10,000 proof gallons per year which such distributor has
12produced, he shall file returns on an annual basis with the
13return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
14following year. Distributors whose total production of alcohol
15(whether blended or not) exceeds 10,000 proof gallons per year,
16based on production during the preceding (calendar) year or as
17reasonably projected by the Department if one calendar year's
18record of production cannot be established, shall file returns
19between the 1st and 20th days of each calendar month as
20hereinabove provided.
21 The types of motor fuel referred to in the preceding
22paragraph are: (A) All products commonly or commercially known
23or sold as gasoline (including casing-head and absorption or
24natural gasoline), gasohol, motor benzol or motor benzene
25regardless of their classification or uses; and (B) all
26combustible gases which exist in a gaseous state at 60 degrees

HB0160 Engrossed- 264 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1Fahrenheit and at 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute
2including, but not limited to, liquefied petroleum gases used
3for highway purposes; and (C) special fuel. Only those
4quantities of combustible gases (example (B) above) which are
5used or sold by the distributor to be used to propel motor
6vehicles on the public highways, or which are delivered into a
7storage tank that is located at a facility that has withdrawal
8facilities which are readily accessible to and are capable of
9dispensing combustible gases into the fuel supply tanks of
10motor vehicles, shall be subject to return. For purposes of
11this Section, a facility is considered to have withdrawal
12facilities that are not "readily accessible to and capable of
13dispensing combustible gases into the fuel supply tanks of
14motor vehicles" only if the combustible gases are delivered
15from: (i) a dispenser hose that is short enough so that it will
16not reach the fuel supply tank of a motor vehicle or (ii) a
17dispenser that is enclosed by a fence or other physical barrier
18so that a vehicle cannot pull alongside the dispenser to permit
19fueling. For the purposes of this Act, liquefied petroleum
20gases shall mean and include any material having a vapor
21pressure not exceeding that allowed for commercial propane
22composed predominantly of the following hydrocarbons, either
23by themselves or as mixtures: Propane, Propylene, Butane
24(normal butane or iso-butane) and Butylene (including
25isomers).
26 In case of a sale of special fuel to someone other than a

HB0160 Engrossed- 265 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1licensed distributor, or a licensed supplier, for a use other
2than in motor vehicles, the distributor shall show in his
3return the amount of invoiced gallons sold and the name and
4address of the purchaser in addition to any other information
5the Department may require.
6 All special fuel sold or used for non-highway purposes must
7have a dye added in accordance with Section 4d of this Law.
8 In case of a tax-free sale, as provided in Section 6, of
9motor fuel which the distributor is required by this Section to
10include in his return to the Department, the distributor in his
11return shall show: (1) If the sale is made to another licensed
12distributor the amount sold and the name, address and license
13number of the purchasing distributor; (2) if the sale is made
14to a person where delivery is made outside of this State the
15name and address of such purchaser and the point of delivery
16together with the date and amount delivered; (3) if the sale is
17made to the Federal Government or its instrumentalities the
18amount sold; (4) if the sale is made to a municipal corporation
19owning and operating a local transportation system for public
20service in this State the name and address of such purchaser,
21and the amount sold, as evidenced by official forms of
22exemption certificates properly executed and furnished by such
23purchaser; (5) if the sale is made to a privately owned public
24utility owning and operating 2-axle vehicles designed and used
25for transporting more than 7 passengers, which vehicles are
26used as common carriers in general transportation of

HB0160 Engrossed- 266 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1passengers, are not devoted to any specialized purpose and are
2operated entirely within the territorial limits of a single
3municipality or of any group of contiguous municipalities or in
4a close radius thereof, and the operations of which are subject
5to the regulations of the Illinois Commerce Commission, then
6the name and address of such purchaser and the amount sold as
7evidenced by official forms of exemption certificates properly
8executed and furnished by the purchaser; (6) if the product
9sold is special fuel and if the sale is made to a licensed
10supplier under conditions which qualify the sale for tax
11exemption under Section 6 of this Act, the amount sold and the
12name, address and license number of the purchaser; and (7) if a
13sale of special fuel is made to someone other than a licensed
14distributor, or a licensed supplier, for a use other than in
15motor vehicles, by making a specific notation thereof on the
16invoice or sales slip covering such sales and obtaining such
17supporting documentation as may be required by the Department.
18 All special fuel sold or used for non-highway purposes must
19have a dye added in accordance with Section 4d of this Law.
20 A person whose license to act as a distributor of motor
21fuel has been revoked shall make a return to the Department
22covering the period from the date of the last return to the
23date of the revocation of the license, which return shall be
24delivered to the Department not later than 10 days from the
25date of the revocation or termination of the license of such
26distributor; the return shall in all other respects be subject

HB0160 Engrossed- 267 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1to the same provisions and conditions as returns by
2distributors licensed under the provisions of this Act.
3 The records, waybills and supporting documents kept by
4railroads and other common carriers in the regular course of
5business shall be prima facie evidence of the contents and
6receipt of cars or tanks covered by those records, waybills or
7supporting documents.
8 If the Department has reason to believe and does believe
9that the amount shown on the return as purchased, acquired,
10received, exported, sold, used, lost or destroyed is incorrect,
11or that an amount of motor fuel of the types required by the
12second paragraph of this Section to be reported to the
13Department has not been correctly reported the Department shall
14fix an amount for such receipt, sales, export, use, loss or
15destruction according to its best judgment and information,
16which amount so fixed by the Department shall be prima facie
17correct. All returns shall be made on forms prepared and
18furnished by the Department, and shall contain such other
19information as the Department may reasonably require. The
20return must be accompanied by appropriate computer-generated
21magnetic media supporting schedule data in the format required
22by the Department, unless, as provided by rule, the Department
23grants an exception upon petition of a taxpayer. All licensed
24distributors shall report all losses of motor fuel sustained on
25account of fire, theft, spillage, spoilage, leakage, or any
26other provable cause when filing the return for the period

HB0160 Engrossed- 268 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1during which the loss occurred. If the distributor reports
2losses due to fire or theft, then the distributor must include
3fire department or police department reports and any other
4documentation that the Department may require. The mere making
5of the report does not assure the allowance of the loss as a
6reduction in tax liability. Losses of motor fuel as the result
7of evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature variations may
8not exceed 1% of the total gallons in storage at the beginning
9of the month, plus the receipts of gallonage during the month,
10minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the end of the
11month. Any loss reported that is in excess of 1% shall be
12subject to the tax imposed by Section 2 of this Law. On and
13after July 1, 2001, for each 6-month period January through
14June, net losses of motor fuel (for each category of motor fuel
15that is required to be reported on a return) as the result of
16evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature variations may not
17exceed 1% of the total gallons in storage at the beginning of
18each January, plus the receipts of gallonage each January
19through June, minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the
20end of each June. On and after July 1, 2001, for each 6-month
21period July through December, net losses of motor fuel (for
22each category of motor fuel that is required to be reported on
23a return) as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to
24temperature variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons
25in storage at the beginning of each July, plus the receipts of
26gallonage each July through December, minus the gallonage

HB0160 Engrossed- 269 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1remaining in storage at the end of each December. Any net loss
2reported that is in excess of this amount shall be subject to
3the tax imposed by Section 2 of this Law. For purposes of this
4Section, "net loss" means the number of gallons gained through
5temperature variations minus the number of gallons lost through
6temperature variations or evaporation for each of the
7respective 6-month periods.
8 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
9distributor's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an
10original return, the Department may authorize the distributor
11to credit such excess payment against liability subsequently to
12be remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance
13with reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the
14Department subsequently determines that all or any part of the
15credit taken was not actually due to the distributor, the
16distributor's discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to
17the difference between the discount as applied to the credit
18taken and that actually due, and that distributor shall be
19liable for penalties and interest on such difference.

22 Sec. 5a. Supplier's monthly return. A person holding a
23valid unrevoked license to act as a supplier of special fuel
24shall, between the 1st and 20th days of each calendar month,
25make return to the Department showing an itemized statement of

HB0160 Engrossed- 270 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1the number of invoiced gallons of special fuel acquired,
2received, purchased, sold, exported, or used during the
3preceding calendar month; the amount of special fuel sold,
4distributed, exported, and used by the licensed supplier during
5the preceding calendar month; the amount of special fuel lost
6or destroyed during the preceding calendar month; the amount of
7special fuel on hand at the close of business for the preceding
8calendar month; and such other reasonable information as the
9Department may require.
10 A person whose license to act as a supplier of special fuel
11has been revoked shall make a return to the Department covering
12the period from the date of the last return to the date of the
13revocation of the license, which return shall be delivered to
14the Department not later than 10 days from the date of the
15revocation or termination of the license of such supplier. The
16return shall in all other respects be subject to the same
17provisions and conditions as returns by suppliers licensed
18under this Act.
19 The records, waybills and supporting documents kept by
20railroads and other common carriers in the regular course of
21business shall be prima facie evidence of the contents and
22receipt of cars or tanks covered by those records, waybills or
23supporting documents.
24 If the Department has reason to believe and does believe
25that the amount shown on the return as purchased, acquired,
26received, sold, exported, used, or lost is incorrect, or that

HB0160 Engrossed- 271 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1an amount of special fuel of the type required by the 1st
2paragraph of this Section to be reported to the Department by
3suppliers has not been correctly reported as a purchase,
4receipt, sale, use, export, or loss the Department shall fix an
5amount for such purchase, receipt, sale, use, export, or loss
6according to its best judgment and information, which amount so
7fixed by the Department shall be prima facie correct. All
8licensed suppliers shall report all losses of special fuel
9sustained on account of fire, theft, spillage, spoilage,
10leakage, or any other provable cause when filing the return for
11the period during which the loss occurred. If the supplier
12reports losses due to fire or theft, then the supplier must
13include fire department or police department reports and any
14other documentation that the Department may require. The mere
15making of the report does not assure the allowance of the loss
16as a reduction in tax liability. Losses of special fuel as the
17result of evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature
18variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons in storage at
19the beginning of the month, plus the receipts of gallonage
20during the month, minus the gallonage remaining in storage at
21the end of the month.
22 Any loss reported that is in excess of 1% shall be subject
23to the tax imposed by Section 2 of this Law. On and after July
241, 2001, for each 6-month period January through June, net
25losses of special fuel (for each category of special fuel that
26is required to be reported on a return) as the result of

HB0160 Engrossed- 272 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature variations may not
2exceed 1% of the total gallons in storage at the beginning of
3each January, plus the receipts of gallonage each January
4through June, minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the
5end of each June. On and after July 1, 2001, for each 6-month
6period July through December, net losses of special fuel (for
7each category of special fuel that is required to be reported
8on a return) as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to
9temperature variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons
10in storage at the beginning of each July, plus the receipts of
11gallonage each July through December, minus the gallonage
12remaining in storage at the end of each December. Any net loss
13reported that is in excess of this amount shall be subject to
14the tax imposed by Section 2 of this Law. For purposes of this
15Section, "net loss" means the number of gallons gained through
16temperature variations minus the number of gallons lost through
17temperature variations or evaporation for each of the
18respective 6-month periods.
19 In case of a sale of special fuel to someone other than a
20licensed distributor or licensed supplier for a use other than
21in motor vehicles, the supplier shall show in his return the
22amount of invoiced gallons sold and the name and address of the
23purchaser in addition to any other information the Department
24may require.
25 All special fuel sold or used for non-highway purposes must
26have a dye added in accordance with Section 4d of this Law.

HB0160 Engrossed- 273 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1 All returns shall be made on forms prepared and furnished
2by the Department and shall contain such other information as
3the Department may reasonably require. The return must be
4accompanied by appropriate computer-generated magnetic media
5supporting schedule data in the format required by the
6Department, unless, as provided by rule, the Department grants
7an exception upon petition of a taxpayer.
8 In case of a tax-free sale, as provided in Section 6a, of
9special fuel which the supplier is required by this Section to
10include in his return to the Department, the supplier in his
11return shall show: (1) If the sale of special fuel is made to
12the Federal Government or its instrumentalities; (2) if the
13sale of special fuel is made to a municipal corporation owning
14and operating a local transportation system for public service
15in this State, the name and address of such purchaser and the
16amount sold, as evidenced by official forms of exemption
17certificates properly executed and furnished by such
18purchaser; (3) if the sale of special fuel is made to a
19privately owned public utility owning and operating 2-axle
20vehicles designed and used for transporting more than 7
21passengers, which vehicles are used as common carriers in
22general transportation of passengers, are not devoted to any
23specialized purpose and are operated entirely within the
24territorial limits of a single municipality or of any group of
25contiguous municipalities or in a close radius thereof, and the
26operations of which are subject to the regulations of the

HB0160 Engrossed- 274 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1Illinois Commerce Commission, then the name and address of such
2purchaser and the amount sold, as evidenced by official forms
3of exemption certificates properly executed and furnished by
4such purchaser; (4) if the product sold is special fuel and if
5the sale is made to a licensed supplier or to a licensed
6distributor under conditions which qualify the sale for tax
7exemption under Section 6a of this Act, the amount sold and the
8name, address and license number of such purchaser; (5) if a
9sale of special fuel is made to a person where delivery is made
10outside of this State, the name and address of such purchaser
11and the point of delivery together with the date and amount of
12invoiced gallons delivered; and (6) if a sale of special fuel
13is made to someone other than a licensed distributor or a
14licensed supplier, for a use other than in motor vehicles, by
15making a specific notation thereof on the invoice or sales slip
16covering that sale and obtaining such supporting documentation
17as may be required by the Department.
18 All special fuel sold or used for non-highway purposes must
19have a dye added in accordance with Section 4d of this Law.
20 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
21supplier's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
22return, the Department may authorize the supplier to credit
23such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
24remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
25reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
26subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit

HB0160 Engrossed- 275 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1taken was not actually due to the supplier, the supplier's
2discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
3between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
4actually due, and that supplier shall be liable for penalties
5and interest on such difference.

8 Sec. 13. Refund of tax paid. Any person other than a
9distributor or supplier, who loses motor fuel through any cause
10or uses motor fuel (upon which he has paid the amount required
11to be collected under Section 2 of this Act) for any purpose
12other than operating a motor vehicle upon the public highways
13or waters, shall be reimbursed and repaid the amount so paid.
14 Any person who purchases motor fuel in Illinois and uses
15that motor fuel in another state and that other state imposes a
16tax on the use of such motor fuel shall be reimbursed and
17repaid the amount of Illinois tax paid under Section 2 of this
18Act on the motor fuel used in such other state. Reimbursement
19and repayment shall be made by the Department upon receipt of
20adequate proof of taxes directly paid to another state and the
21amount of motor fuel used in that state.
22 Claims based in whole or in part on taxes paid to another
23state shall include (i) a certified copy of the tax return
24filed with such other state by the claimant; (ii) a copy of
25either the cancelled check paying the tax due on such return,

HB0160 Engrossed- 276 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1or a receipt acknowledging payment of the tax due on such tax
2return; and (iii) such other information as the Department may
3reasonably require. This paragraph shall not apply to taxes
4paid on returns filed under Section 13a.3 of this Act.
5 Any person who purchases motor fuel use tax decals as
6required by Section 13a.4 and pays an amount of fees for such
7decals that exceeds the amount due shall be reimbursed and
8repaid the amount of the decal fees that are deemed by the
9department to be in excess of the amount due. Alternatively,
10any person who purchases motor fuel use tax decals as required
11by Section 13a.4 may credit any excess decal payment verified
12by the Department against amounts subsequently due for the
13purchase of additional decals, until such time as no excess
14payment remains.
15 Claims for such reimbursement must be made to the
16Department of Revenue, duly verified by the claimant (or by the
17claimant's legal representative if the claimant has died or
18become a person under legal disability), upon forms prescribed
19by the Department. The claim must state such facts relating to
20the purchase, importation, manufacture or production of the
21motor fuel by the claimant as the Department may deem
22necessary, and the time when, and the circumstances of its loss
23or the specific purpose for which it was used (as the case may
24be), together with such other information as the Department may
25reasonably require. No claim based upon idle time shall be
26allowed. Claims for reimbursement for overpayment of decal fees

HB0160 Engrossed- 277 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1shall be made to the Department of Revenue, duly verified by
2the claimant (or by the claimant's legal representative if the
3claimant has died or become a person under legal disability),
4upon forms prescribed by the Department. The claim shall state
5facts relating to the overpayment of decal fees, together with
6such other information as the Department may reasonably
7require. Claims for reimbursement of overpayment of decal fees
8paid on or after January 1, 2011 must be filed not later than
9one year after the date on which the fees were paid by the
10claimant. If it is determined that the Department should
11reimburse a claimant for overpayment of decal fees, the
12Department shall first apply the amount of such refund against
13any tax or penalty or interest due by the claimant under
14Section 13a of this Act.
15 Claims for full reimbursement for taxes paid on or before
16December 31, 1999 must be filed not later than one year after
17the date on which the tax was paid by the claimant. If,
18however, a claim for such reimbursement otherwise meeting the
19requirements of this Section is filed more than one year but
20less than 2 years after that date, the claimant shall be
21reimbursed at the rate of 80% of the amount to which he would
22have been entitled if his claim had been timely filed.
23 Claims for full reimbursement for taxes paid on or after
24January 1, 2000 must be filed not later than 2 years after the
25date on which the tax was paid by the claimant.
26 The Department may make such investigation of the

HB0160 Engrossed- 278 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1correctness of the facts stated in such claims as it deems
2necessary. When the Department has approved any such claim, it
3shall pay to the claimant (or to the claimant's legal
4representative, as such if the claimant has died or become a
5person under legal disability) the reimbursement provided in
6this Section, out of any moneys appropriated to it for that
7purpose.
8 Any distributor or supplier who has paid the tax imposed by
9Section 2 of this Act upon motor fuel lost or used by such
10distributor or supplier for any purpose other than operating a
11motor vehicle upon the public highways or waters may file a
12claim for credit or refund to recover the amount so paid. Such
13claims shall be filed on forms prescribed by the Department.
14Such claims shall be made to the Department, duly verified by
15the claimant (or by the claimant's legal representative if the
16claimant has died or become a person under legal disability),
17upon forms prescribed by the Department. The claim shall state
18such facts relating to the purchase, importation, manufacture
19or production of the motor fuel by the claimant as the
20Department may deem necessary and the time when the loss or
21nontaxable use occurred, and the circumstances of its loss or
22the specific purpose for which it was used (as the case may
23be), together with such other information as the Department may
24reasonably require. Claims must be filed not later than one
25year after the date on which the tax was paid by the claimant.
26 The Department may make such investigation of the

HB0160 Engrossed- 279 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1correctness of the facts stated in such claims as it deems
2necessary. When the Department approves a claim, the Department
3shall issue a refund or credit memorandum as requested by the
4taxpayer, to the distributor or supplier who made the payment
5for which the refund or credit is being given or, if the
6distributor or supplier has died or become incompetent, to such
7distributor's or supplier's legal representative, as such. The
8amount of such credit memorandum shall be credited against any
9tax due or to become due under this Act from the distributor or
10supplier who made the payment for which credit has been given.
11 Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Section
12shall bear interest at the rate and in the manner specified in
13the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
14 In case the distributor or supplier requests and the
15Department determines that the claimant is entitled to a
16refund, such refund shall be made only from such appropriation
17as may be available for that purpose. If it appears unlikely
18that the amount appropriated would permit everyone having a
19claim allowed during the period covered by such appropriation
20to elect to receive a cash refund, the Department, by rule or
21regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds in
22hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as
23hardship cases.
24 In any case in which there has been an erroneous refund of
25tax or fees payable under this Section, a notice of tax
26liability may be issued at any time within 3 years from the

HB0160 Engrossed- 280 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1making of that refund, or within 5 years from the making of
2that refund if it appears that any part of the refund was
3induced by fraud or the misrepresentation of material fact. The
4amount of any proposed assessment set forth by the Department
5shall be limited to the amount of the erroneous refund.
6 If no tax is due and no proceeding is pending to determine
7whether such distributor or supplier is indebted to the
8Department for tax, the credit memorandum so issued may be
9assigned and set over by the lawful holder thereof, subject to
10reasonable rules of the Department, to any other licensed
11distributor or supplier who is subject to this Act, and the
12amount thereof applied by the Department against any tax due or
13to become due under this Act from such assignee.
14 If the payment for which the distributor's or supplier's
15claim is filed is held in the protest fund of the State
16Treasury during the pendency of the claim for credit
17proceedings pursuant to the order of the court in accordance
18with Section 2a of the State Officers and Employees Money
19Disposition Act and if it is determined by the Department or by
20the final order of a reviewing court under the Administrative
21Review Law that the claimant is entitled to all or a part of
22the credit claimed, the claimant, instead of receiving a credit
23memorandum from the Department, shall receive a cash refund
24from the protest fund as provided for in Section 2a of the
25State Officers and Employees Money Disposition Act.
26 If any person ceases to be licensed as a distributor or

HB0160 Engrossed- 281 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1supplier while still holding an unused credit memorandum issued
2under this Act, such person may, at his election (instead of
3assigning the credit memorandum to a licensed distributor or
4licensed supplier under this Act), surrender such unused credit
5memorandum to the Department and receive a refund of the amount
6to which such person is entitled.
7 For claims based upon taxes paid on or before December 31,
82000, a claim based upon the use of undyed diesel fuel shall
9not be allowed except (i) if allowed under the following
10paragraph or (ii) for undyed diesel fuel used by a commercial
11vehicle, as that term is defined in Section 1-111.8 of the

26 Any taxpayer required to make payments under this Section

HB0160 Engrossed- 288 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1may make the payments by electronic funds transfer. The
2Department shall adopt rules necessary to effectuate a program
3of electronic funds transfer.
4 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
5Department does not exceed $100.00, the Department may
6authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
7with the return for January, February and March of a given year
8being due by April 30 of such year; with the return for April,
9May and June of a given year being due by July 31 of such year;
10with the return for July, August and September of a given year
11being due by October 31 of such year, and with the return for
12October, November and December of a given year being due by
13January 31 of the following year.
14 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the

18 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
19substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
20returns.
21 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
22the time within which a taxpayer may file his return, in the
23case of any taxpayer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
24which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
25such taxpayer shall file a final return under this Act with the
26Department not more than one month after discontinuing such

HB0160 Engrossed- 289 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1business.
2 In making such return the taxpayer shall determine the
3value of any reportable consideration other than money received
4by him and shall include such value in his return. Such
5determination shall be subject to review and revision by the
6Department in the same manner as is provided in this Act for
7the correction of returns.
8 Each taxpayer whose average monthly liability to the
9Department under this Act was $10,000 or more during the
10preceding calendar year, excluding the month of highest
11liability and the month of lowest liability in such calendar
12year, and who is not operated by a unit of local government,
13shall make estimated payments to the Department on or before
14the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which tax
15liability to the Department is incurred in an amount not less
16than the lower of either 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual tax
17liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's actual tax
18liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
19The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
20against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
21that month. Any outstanding credit, approved by the Department,
22arising from the taxpayer's overpayment of its final tax
23liability for any month may be applied to reduce the amount of
24any subsequent quarter monthly payment or credited against the
25final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for any subsequent
26month. If any quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time

HB0160 Engrossed- 290 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1or in the amount required by this Section, the taxpayer shall
2be liable for penalty and interest on the difference between
3the minimum amount due as a payment and the amount of such
4payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
5taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
6Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
7 If the Director finds that the information required for the
8making of an accurate return cannot reasonably be compiled by a
9taxpayer within 15 days after the close of the calendar month
10for which a return is to be made, he may grant an extension of
11time for the filing of such return for a period of not to
12exceed 31 calendar days. The granting of such an extension may
13be conditioned upon the deposit by the taxpayer with the
14Department of an amount of money not exceeding the amount
15estimated by the Director to be due with the return so
16extended. All such deposits, including any made before the
17effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975 with the
18Department, shall be credited against the taxpayer's
19liabilities under this Act. If any such deposit exceeds the
20taxpayer's present and probable future liabilities under this
21Act, the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit
22memorandum, which may be assigned by the taxpayer to a similar
23taxpayer under this Act, in accordance with reasonable rules
24and regulations to be prescribed by the Department.
25 The taxpayer making the return provided for in this Section
26shall, at the time of making such return, pay to the Department

HB0160 Engrossed- 291 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b

3Revenue Fund in the State Treasury, except as otherwise
4provided.
5 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
6taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
7return, the Department may authorize the taxpayer to credit
8such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
9remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
10reasonable rules adopted by the Department.

17exceed $1,000 shall make all payments by electronic funds
18transfer as required by rules of the Department and shall file

10$400, the Department may authorize his or her return to be

13 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article
14containing the time within which a retailer may file his

16kind of business which makes him responsible for filing returns
17under this Article, such retailer shall file a final return
18under this Article with the Department not more than one month
19after discontinuing such business.
20 In making such return, the retailer shall determine the
21value of any consideration other than money received by him and
22he shall include such value in his return. Such determination
23shall be subject to review and revision by the Department in
24the manner hereinafter provided for the correction of returns.
25 Each retailer whose average monthly liability to the
26Department under this Article and the Simplified Municipal

HB0160 Engrossed- 296 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1Telecommunications Tax Act was $25,000 or more during the

8not less than the lower of either 22.5% of the retailer's
9actual tax collections for the month or 25% of the retailer's
10actual tax collections for the same calendar month of the
11preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
12shall be credited against the final liability of the retailer's
13return for that month. Any outstanding credit, approved by the
14Department, arising from the retailer's overpayment of its
15final liability for any month may be applied to reduce the
16amount of any subsequent quarter monthly payment or credited
17against the final liability of the retailer's return for any
18subsequent month. If any quarter monthly payment is not paid at
19the time or in the amount required by this Section, the
20retailer shall be liable for penalty and interest on the
21difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
22amount of such payment actually and timely paid, except insofar
23as the retailer has previously made payments for that month to

7retailer on returns not timely filed and for taxes not timely
8remitted.
9 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
10retailer's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
11return, the Department may authorize the retailer to credit
12such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
13remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
14reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
15subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
16taken was not actually due to the retailer, the retailer's
17discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
18between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
19actually due, and that retailer shall be liable for penalties
20and interest on such difference.

18shall be deposited into the Common School Fund. On and after
19the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General
20Assembly, if in any fiscal year the total of the moneys
21deposited into the School Infrastructure Fund under this Act is
22less than the total of the moneys deposited into that Fund from

8 (6) Such other information as the Department
9 reasonably may require.
10 In making such return the delivering supplier may use any
11reasonable method to derive reportable "kilowatt-hours" from
12the delivering supplier's records.
13 If the average monthly tax liability to the Department of
14the delivering supplier does not exceed $2,500, the Department
15may authorize the delivering supplier's returns to be filed on
16a quarter-annual basis, with the return for January, February

18with the return for April, May and June of a given year being

2 Such quarter-annual and annual returns, as to form and
3substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
4returns.
5 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Law concerning
6the time within which a delivering supplier may file a return,
7any such delivering supplier who ceases to engage in a kind of
8business which makes the person responsible for filing returns
9under this Law shall file a final return under this Law with
10the Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
11business.
12 Each delivering supplier whose average monthly liability

10the amount of such payment actually and timely paid, except
11insofar as such delivering supplier has previously made

14 If the Director finds that the information required for the
15making of an accurate return cannot reasonably be compiled by
16such delivering supplier within 15 days after the close of the
17calendar month for which a return is to be made, the Director
18may grant an extension of time for the filing of such return
19for a period not to exceed 31 calendar days. The granting of
20such an extension may be conditioned upon the deposit by such
21delivering supplier with the Department of an amount of money
22not exceeding the amount estimated by the Director to be due
23with the return so extended. All such deposits shall be
24credited against such delivering supplier's liabilities under
25this Law. If the deposit exceeds such delivering supplier's
26present and probable future liabilities under this Law, the

HB0160 Engrossed- 303 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1Department shall issue to such delivering supplier a credit
2memorandum, which may be assigned by such delivering supplier
3to a similar person under this Law, in accordance with

9 Until October 1, 2002, a delivering supplier who has an
10average monthly tax liability of $10,000 or more shall make all
11payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
12funds transfer. The term "average monthly tax liability" shall
13be the sum of the delivering supplier's liabilities under this
14Law for the immediately preceding calendar year divided by 12.
15Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax
16liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section
172505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make all
18payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
19funds transfer. Any delivering supplier not required to make

22Department. All delivering suppliers required to make payments
23by electronic funds transfer and any delivering suppliers
24authorized to voluntarily make payments by electronic funds

20 Sec. 2-11. Direct return and payment by self-assessing
21purchaser. When electricity is used or consumed by a
22self-assessing purchaser subject to the tax imposed by this Law
23who did not pay the tax to a delivering supplier maintaining a
24place of business within this State and required or authorized
25to collect the tax, that self-assessing purchaser shall, on or

HB0160 Engrossed- 305 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1before the 15th day of each month, make a return to the
2Department for the preceding calendar month, stating all of the
3following:
4 (1) The self-assessing purchaser's name and principal
5 address.
6 (2) The aggregate purchase price paid by the
7 self-assessing purchaser for the distribution, supply,
8 furnishing, sale, transmission and delivery of such
9 electricity to or for the purchaser during the preceding
10 calendar month, including budget plan and other
11 purchaser-owned amounts applied during such month in
12 payment of charges includible in the purchase price, and
13 upon the basis of which the tax is imposed.
14 (3) Amount of tax, computed upon item (2) at the rate
15 stated in Section 2-4.
16 (4) Such other information as the Department
17 reasonably may require.
18 In making such return the self-assessing purchaser may use
19any reasonable method to derive reportable "purchase price"
20from the self-assessing purchaser's records.
21 If the average monthly tax liability of the self-assessing
22purchaser to the Department does not exceed $2,500, the
23Department may authorize the self-assessing purchaser's
24returns to be filed on a quarter-annual basis, with the return
25for January, February and March of a given year being due by
26April 30 of such year; with the return for April, May and June

HB0160 Engrossed- 306 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1of a given year being due by July 31 of such year; with the
2return for July, August, and September of a given year being
3due by October 31 of such year; and with the return for
4October, November and December of a given year being due by
5January 31 of the following year.
6 If the average monthly tax liability of the self-assessing
7purchaser to the Department does not exceed $1,000, the
8Department may authorize the self-assessing purchaser's
9returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return for a
10given year being due by January 31 of the following year.
11 Such quarter-annual and annual returns, as to form and
12substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
13returns.
14 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Law concerning
15the time within which a self-assessing purchaser may file a
16return, any such self-assessing purchaser who ceases to be
17responsible for filing returns under this Law shall file a
18final return under this Law with the Department not more than
19one month thereafter.
20 Each self-assessing purchaser whose average monthly
21liability to the Department pursuant to this Section was
22$10,000 or more during the preceding calendar year, excluding
23the month of highest liability and the month of lowest
24liability during such calendar year, and which is not operated
25by a unit of local government, shall make estimated payments to
26the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of

HB0160 Engrossed- 307 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1the month during which tax liability to the Department is
2incurred in an amount not less than the lower of either 22.5%
3of such self-assessing purchaser's actual tax liability for the
4month or 25% of such self-assessing purchaser's actual tax
5liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
6The amount of such quarter-monthly payments shall be credited
7against the final tax liability of the self-assessing
8purchaser's return for that month. An outstanding credit
9approved by the Department or a credit memorandum issued by the
10Department arising from the self-assessing purchaser's
11overpayment of the self-assessing purchaser's final tax
12liability for any month may be applied to reduce the amount of
13any subsequent quarter-monthly payment or credited against the
14final tax liability of such self-assessing purchaser's return
15for any subsequent month. If any quarter-monthly payment is not
16paid at the time or in the amount required by this Section,
17such person shall be liable for penalty and interest on the
18difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
19amount of such payment actually and timely paid, except insofar
20as such person has previously made payments for that month to
21the Department in excess of the minimum payments previously
22due.
23 If the Director finds that the information required for the
24making of an accurate return cannot reasonably be compiled by a
25self-assessing purchaser within 15 days after the close of the
26calendar month for which a return is to be made, the Director

HB0160 Engrossed- 308 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1may grant an extension of time for the filing of such return
2for a period of not to exceed 31 calendar days. The granting of
3such an extension may be conditioned upon the deposit by such
4self-assessing purchaser with the Department of an amount of
5money not exceeding the amount estimated by the Director to be
6due with the return so extended. All such deposits shall be
7credited against such self-assessing purchaser's liabilities
8under this Law. If the deposit exceeds such self-assessing
9purchaser's present and probable future liabilities under this
10Law, the Department shall issue to such self-assessing
11purchaser a credit memorandum, which may be assigned by such
12self-assessing purchaser to a similar person under this Law, in
13accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
14prescribed by the Department.
15 The self-assessing purchaser making the return provided
16for in this Section shall, at the time of making such return,
17pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this Law.
18 Until October 1, 2002, a self-assessing purchaser who has
19an average monthly tax liability of $10,000 or more shall make
20all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
21funds transfer. The term "average monthly tax liability" shall
22be the sum of the self-assessing purchaser's liabilities under
23this Law for the immediately preceding calendar year divided by
2412. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax
25liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section
262505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make all

HB0160 Engrossed- 309 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
2funds transfer. Any self-assessing purchaser not required to
3make payments by electronic funds transfer may make payments by
4electronic funds transfer with the permission of the
5Department. All self-assessing purchasers required to make
6payments by electronic funds transfer and any self-assessing
7purchasers authorized to voluntarily make payments by
8electronic funds transfer shall make those payments in the
9manner authorized by the Department.
10 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
11self-assessing purchaser's liabilities under this Act, as
12shown on an original return, the Department may authorize the
13self-assessing purchaser to credit such excess payment against
14liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department under
15this Act, in accordance with reasonable rules adopted by the
16Department.
17 Through June 30, 2004, each month the Department shall pay
18into the Public Utility Fund in the State treasury an amount
19determined by the Director to be equal to 3.0% of the funds
20received by the Department pursuant to this Section. Through
21June 30, 2004, the remainder of all moneys received by the
22Department under this Section shall be paid into the General
23Revenue Fund in the State treasury. Beginning on July 1, 2004,
24of the 3% of the funds received pursuant to this Section, each
25month the Department shall pay $416,667 into the General
26Revenue Fund and the balance shall be paid into the Public

12 Section 25-85. The Liquor Control Act of 1934 is amended by
13changing Section 8-2 as follows:
14 (235 ILCS 5/8-2) (from Ch. 43, par. 159)
15 Sec. 8-2. Payments; reports. It is the duty of each
16manufacturer with respect to alcoholic liquor produced or
17imported by such manufacturer, or purchased tax-free by such
18manufacturer from another manufacturer or importing
19distributor, and of each importing distributor as to alcoholic
20liquor purchased by such importing distributor from foreign
21importers or from anyone from any point in the United States
22outside of this State or purchased tax-free from another
23manufacturer or importing distributor, to pay the tax imposed
24by Section 8-1 to the Department of Revenue on or before the

HB0160 Engrossed- 316 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
115th day of the calendar month following the calendar month in
2which such alcoholic liquor is sold or used by such
3manufacturer or by such importing distributor other than in an
4authorized tax-free manner or to pay that tax electronically as
5provided in this Section.
6 Each manufacturer and each importing distributor shall
7make payment under one of the following methods: (1) on or
8before the 15th day of each calendar month, file in person or
9by United States first-class mail, postage pre-paid, with the
10Department of Revenue, on forms prescribed and furnished by the
11Department, a report in writing in such form as may be required
12by the Department in order to compute, and assure the accuracy
13of, the tax due on all taxable sales and uses of alcoholic
14liquor occurring during the preceding month. Payment of the tax
15in the amount disclosed by the report shall accompany the
16report or, (2) on or before the 15th day of each calendar
17month, electronically file with the Department of Revenue, on
18forms prescribed and furnished by the Department, an electronic
19report in such form as may be required by the Department in
20order to compute, and assure the accuracy of, the tax due on
21all taxable sales and uses of alcoholic liquor occurring during
22the preceding month. An electronic payment of the tax in the
23amount disclosed by the report shall accompany the report. A
24manufacturer or distributor who files an electronic report and
25electronically pays the tax imposed pursuant to Section 8-1 to
26the Department of Revenue on or before the 15th day of the

HB0160 Engrossed- 317 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1calendar month following the calendar month in which such
2alcoholic liquor is sold or used by that manufacturer or
3importing distributor other than in an authorized tax-free
4manner shall pay to the Department the amount of the tax
5imposed pursuant to Section 8-1, less a discount which is
6allowed to reimburse the manufacturer or importing distributor
7for the expenses incurred in keeping and maintaining records,
8preparing and filing the electronic returns, remitting the tax,
9and supplying data to the Department upon request.
10 The discount shall be in an amount as follows:
11 (1) For original returns due on or after January 1,
12 2003 through September 30, 2003, the discount shall be
13 1.75% or $1,250 per return, whichever is less;
14 (2) For original returns due on or after October 1,
15 2003 through September 30, 2004, the discount shall be 2%
16 or $3,000 per return, whichever is less; and
17 (3) For original returns due on or after October 1,
18 2004, the discount shall be 2% or $2,000 per return,
19 whichever is less.
20 The Department may, if it deems it necessary in order to
21insure the payment of the tax imposed by this Article, require
22returns to be made more frequently than and covering periods of
23less than a month. Such return shall contain such further
24information as the Department may reasonably require.
25 It shall be presumed that all alcoholic liquors acquired or
26made by any importing distributor or manufacturer have been

HB0160 Engrossed- 318 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1sold or used by him in this State and are the basis for the tax
2imposed by this Article unless proven, to the satisfaction of
3the Department, that such alcoholic liquors are (1) still in
4the possession of such importing distributor or manufacturer,
5or (2) prior to the termination of possession have been lost by
6theft or through unintentional destruction, or (3) that such
7alcoholic liquors are otherwise exempt from taxation under this
8Act.
9 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
10manufacturer's or importing distributor's liabilities under
11this Act, as shown on an original report, the manufacturer or
12importing distributor may credit such excess payment against
13liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department under
14this Act, in accordance with reasonable rules adopted by the
15Department. If the Department subsequently determines that all
16or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
17manufacturer or importing distributor, the manufacturer's or
18importing distributor's discount shall be reduced by an amount
19equal to the difference between the discount as applied to the
20credit taken and that actually due, and the manufacturer or
21importing distributor shall be liable for penalties and
22interest on such difference.
23 The Department may require any foreign importer to file
24monthly information returns, by the 15th day of the month
25following the month which any such return covers, if the
26Department determines this to be necessary to the proper

HB0160 Engrossed- 319 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1performance of the Department's functions and duties under this
2Act. Such return shall contain such information as the
3Department may reasonably require.
4 Every manufacturer and importing distributor shall also
5file, with the Department, a bond in an amount not less than
6$1,000 and not to exceed $100,000 on a form to be approved by,
7and with a surety or sureties satisfactory to, the Department.
8Such bond shall be conditioned upon the manufacturer or
9importing distributor paying to the Department all monies
10becoming due from such manufacturer or importing distributor
11under this Article. The Department shall fix the penalty of
12such bond in each case, taking into consideration the amount of
13alcoholic liquor expected to be sold and used by such
14manufacturer or importing distributor, and the penalty fixed by
15the Department shall be sufficient, in the Department's
16opinion, to protect the State of Illinois against failure to
17pay any amount due under this Article, but the amount of the
18penalty fixed by the Department shall not exceed twice the
19amount of tax liability of a monthly return, nor shall the
20amount of such penalty be less than $1,000. The Department
21shall notify the Commission of the Department's approval or
22disapproval of any such manufacturer's or importing
23distributor's bond, or of the termination or cancellation of
24any such bond, or of the Department's direction to a
25manufacturer or importing distributor that he must file
26additional bond in order to comply with this Section. The

HB0160 Engrossed- 320 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1Commission shall not issue a license to any applicant for a
2manufacturer's or importing distributor's license unless the
3Commission has received a notification from the Department
4showing that such applicant has filed a satisfactory bond with
5the Department hereunder and that such bond has been approved
6by the Department. Failure by any licensed manufacturer or
7importing distributor to keep a satisfactory bond in effect
8with the Department or to furnish additional bond to the
9Department, when required hereunder by the Department to do so,
10shall be grounds for the revocation or suspension of such
11manufacturer's or importing distributor's license by the
12Commission. If a manufacturer or importing distributor fails to
13pay any amount due under this Article, his bond with the
14Department shall be deemed forfeited, and the Department may
15institute a suit in its own name on such bond.
16 After notice and opportunity for a hearing the State
17Commission may revoke or suspend the license of any
18manufacturer or importing distributor who fails to comply with
19the provisions of this Section. Notice of such hearing and the
20time and place thereof shall be in writing and shall contain a
21statement of the charges against the licensee. Such notice may
22be given by United States registered or certified mail with
23return receipt requested, addressed to the person concerned at
24his last known address and shall be given not less than 7 days
25prior to the date fixed for the hearing. An order revoking or
26suspending a license under the provisions of this Section may

HB0160 Engrossed- 321 -LRB100 02289 HLH 12294 b
1be reviewed in the manner provided in Section 7-10 of this Act.
2No new license shall be granted to a person whose license has
3been revoked for a violation of this Section or, in case of
4suspension, shall such suspension be terminated until he has
5paid to the Department all taxes and penalties which he owes
6the State under the provisions of this Act.
7 Every manufacturer or importing distributor who has, as
8verified by the Department, continuously complied with the
9conditions of the bond under this Act for a period of 2 years
10shall be considered to be a prior continuous compliance
11taxpayer. In determining the consecutive period of time for
12qualification as a prior continuous compliance taxpayer, any
13consecutive period of time of qualifying compliance
14immediately prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act
15of 1987 shall be credited to any manufacturer or importing
16distributor.
17 A manufacturer or importing distributor that is a prior
18continuous compliance taxpayer under this Section and becomes a
19successor as the result of an acquisition, merger, or
20consolidation of a manufacturer or importing distributor shall
21be deemed to be a prior continuous compliance taxpayer with
22respect to the acquired, merged, or consolidated entity.
23 Every prior continuous compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
24from the bond requirements of this Act until the Department has

18discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
19between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
20actually due, and that receiver shall be liable for penalties

12liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department under
13this Act, in accordance with reasonable rules adopted by the

17equal to the difference between the discount as applied to the
18credit taken and that actually due, and the seller shall be

1 Section 90-1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
2Business Occupation Assessment Act.
3 Section 90-10. Business Occupation Assessment.
4 (a) For each taxable year ending on or after December 31,
52017, a corporation transacting business in this State shall be
6subject to a business occupation assessment. For taxable years
7ending on December 31, 2017, the assessment shall be equal to
8$5,000. On January 1, 2018, and on January 1 of each year
9thereafter, the amount of the assessment imposed under this
10subsection (a) shall be adjusted for inflation as determined by
11the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, as issued by
12the United States Department of Labor, and rounded to the
13nearest $50. Each corporation subject to the assessment under
14this Act shall be liable for the assessment amount in effect on
15the last day of its taxable year. If the taxable year of the
16corporation is less than 365 days, then the amount of the
17assessment shall be the otherwise applicable assessment amount
18multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number
19of days in the corporation's taxable year and the denominator
20of which is 365.
21 (b) The taxable year of the corporation shall be its
22taxable year under Section 401 of the Illinois Income Tax Act.
23The business occupation assessment for each taxable year shall
24be reported by taxpayers that are subject to the assessment on
25the taxpayer's Illinois corporate income tax return and shall

1be due and payable to the Department of Revenue on the due date
2prescribed under Section 601 of the Illinois Income Tax Act for
3payment of the corporation's liability under that Act.
4 (c) The provisions in the Illinois Income Tax Act for
5assessment, collection, and refund of overpayments of tax shall
6apply to the business occupation assessment as if the
7assessment were imposed under the Illinois Income Tax Act. The
8Department of Revenue shall adopt rules to determine procedures
9for refunding a business occupation assessment that is paid in
10error.
11 (d) For purposes of this Act, a corporation is considered
12to be transacting business in this State if the corporation is
13required to register with the Secretary of State and is not
14excluded under the provisions of Section 13.75 of the Business
15Corporation Act of 1983. Subchapter S corporations and
16corporations recognized by the United States Internal Revenue
17Service as tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of
18the Internal Revenue Code are not considered to be transacting
19business in this State for the purposes of this Act.
