9 Sec. 8-11-1.3. Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
10Occupation Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home
11rule municipality may impose a tax upon all persons engaged in
12the business of selling tangible personal property, other than

22municipality may, until July 1, 2030, use the proceeds of the

HB0991- 8 -LRB103 00050 AWJ 45050 b
1and may be imposed only in 1/4% increments. The rate of this
2tax that may be imposed for municipal operations may not

17purposes. If a municipality does not have an airport-related
18purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
19aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. Each municipality must

21purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
22Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"

HB0991- 9 -LRB103 00050 AWJ 45050 b
1imposed by a municipality pursuant to this Section and all
2civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof
3shall be collected and enforced by the State Department of
4Revenue. The certificate of registration which is issued by
5the Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation
6Tax Act shall permit such retailer to engage in a business
7which is taxable under any ordinance or resolution enacted
8pursuant to this Section without registering separately with
9the Department under such ordinance or resolution or under
10this Section. The Department shall have full power to
11administer and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and
12penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so
13collected in the manner hereinafter provided, and to determine
14all rights to credit memoranda, arising on account of the
15erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
16administration of, and compliance with, this Section, the
17Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
18have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers
19and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
20restrictions, limitations, penalties and definitions of terms,
21and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
22Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65 (in

25penalties collected, and except that the retailer's discount

2U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j,
35k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the
4Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
5Penalty and Interest Act as fully as if those provisions were
6set forth herein.
7 No municipality may impose a tax under this Section unless
8the municipality also imposes a tax at the same rate under
9Section 8-11-1.4 of this Code.
10 Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
11authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
12their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
13such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
14combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
15are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
16bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
17 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
18made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
19credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
20Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
21amount specified, and to the person named, in such
22notification from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by
23the State Treasurer out of the non-home rule municipal

6the Department to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee,
7for deposit into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund. The
8Department shall only pay moneys into the Local Government
9Aviation Trust Fund under this Section for so long as the
10revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
1147133 are binding on the municipality.
12 As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
13beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
14Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
15transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
16Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
17in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
18this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
19sales within a STAR bond district.
20 After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
21on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
22Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
23disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
24the municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid
25taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the
26second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each

HB0991- 12 -LRB103 00050 AWJ 45050 b
1municipality shall be the amount (not including credit
2memoranda and not including taxes and penalties collected on
3aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019) collected
4hereunder during the second preceding calendar month by the
5Department plus an amount the Department determines is
6necessary to offset any amounts which were erroneously paid to
7a different taxing body, and not including an amount equal to
8the amount of refunds made during the second preceding
9calendar month by the Department on behalf of such
10municipality, and not including any amount which the
11Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts which
12were payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously
13paid to the municipality, and not including any amounts that
14are transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1.5% of
15the remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the
16Tax Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
17time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
18prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
19transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
20under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt, by the
21Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the
22municipalities and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
23provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by
24the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
25drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the

2whose tax is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer of coal
3or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail at the
4place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is
5extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
6coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
7seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
8sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
9interstate or foreign commerce.
10 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
11municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
12any business which under the constitution of the United States
13may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.

14in the form of real estate as an incident to a sale of service.
15If the tax is approved by referendum on or after July 14, 2010
16(the effective date of Public Act 96-1057), the corporate

20expenditure on public infrastructure or for property tax
