12 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
13 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
14 who would be a member of the same unitary business
15 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
16 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
17 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
18 required to apportion business income under different
19 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
20 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
21 extent that dividends were included in base income of
22 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
23 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
24 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts

HB4004- 5 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 gross income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue
2 Code) with respect to the stock of the same person to

10 with respect to such interest; or
11 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
12 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
13 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
14 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
15 following:
16 (a) the person, during the same taxable
17 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
18 to a person that is not a related member, and
19 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
20 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
21 person did not have as a principal purpose the
22 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
23 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
24 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
25 terms; or
26 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on

HB4004- 6 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
2 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
3 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
4 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
5 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
6 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
7 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
8 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
9 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
10 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
11 to the application or use of an alternative method
12 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
13 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
14 Director from making any other adjustment
15 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
16 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
17 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
18 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
19 and such regulations provide methods and standards
20 by which the Department will utilize its authority
21 under Section 404 of this Act;
22 (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
23 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
24 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
25 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
26 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a

HB4004- 7 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 foreign person who would be a member of the same
2 unitary business group but for the fact that the
3 foreign person's business activity outside the United
4 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
5 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
6 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
7 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
8 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
9 from being included in the unitary business group
10 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
11 business income under different subsections of Section
12 304. The addition modification required by this
13 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
14 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
15 group for the same taxable year and received by the
16 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
17 business group (including amounts included in gross
18 income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
19 Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
20 Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
21 to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
22 expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
23 incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
24 apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
25 reduction to the addition modification required under
26 Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this

HB4004- 8 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b

2 includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
3 related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
4 maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
5 or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
6 losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
7 factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
8 (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
9 (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
10 costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
11 property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
12 names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
13 works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
14 assets.
15 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
16 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
17 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
18 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
19 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
20 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
21 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
22 to such item; or
23 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
24 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
25 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
26 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the

HB4004- 9 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 following:
2 (a) the person during the same taxable
3 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
4 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
5 not a related member, and
6 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
7 intangible expense or cost between the
8 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
9 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
10 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
11 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
12 or
13 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
14 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
15 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
16 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
17 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
18 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
19 writing to the application or use of an alternative
20 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
21 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
22 Director from making any other adjustment
23 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
24 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
25 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
26 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department

HB4004- 10 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 and such regulations provide methods and standards
2 by which the Department will utilize its authority
3 under Section 404 of this Act;
4 (D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
5 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
6 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
7 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
8 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
9 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
10 business group but for the fact that the person is
11 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
12 included in the unitary business group because he or
13 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
14 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
15 addition modification required by this subparagraph
16 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
17 included in base income of the unitary group for the
18 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
19 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
20 (including amounts included in gross income under
21 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
22 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
23 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
24 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
25 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
26 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that

HB4004- 11 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
2 modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) or
3 Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this Act.
4 (D-20) For taxable years beginning on or after

26 Section 250; and

HB4004- 27 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 (GG) For taxable years ending on or after December

14 taxable year from any taxable year ending prior to
15 December 31, 1986 shall not exceed the amount of

22 included in gross income under Section 78 of the
23 Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the
24 same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or
25 incurred.
26 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

HB4004- 32 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
2 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
3 is subject in a foreign country or state, other

5 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
6 with respect to such interest; or
7 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
8 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
9 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
10 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
11 following:
12 (a) the person, during the same taxable
13 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
14 to a person that is not a related member, and
15 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
16 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
17 person did not have as a principal purpose the
18 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
19 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
20 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
21 terms; or
22 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
23 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
24 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
25 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
26 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is

HB4004- 33 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
2 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
3 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
4 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
5 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
6 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
7 to the application or use of an alternative method
8 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
9 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
10 Director from making any other adjustment
11 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
12 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
13 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
14 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
15 and such regulations provide methods and standards
16 by which the Department will utilize its authority
17 under Section 404 of this Act;
18 (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
19 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
20 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
21 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
22 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
23 foreign person who would be a member of the same
24 unitary business group but for the fact that the
25 foreign person's business activity outside the United
26 States is 80% or more of that person's total business

HB4004- 34 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
2 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
3 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
4 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
5 from being included in the unitary business group
6 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
7 business income under different subsections of Section
8 304. The addition modification required by this
9 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
10 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
11 group for the same taxable year and received by the
12 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
13 business group (including amounts included in gross
14 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
15 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
16 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
17 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
18 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
19 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
20 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
21 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
22 modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
23 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
24 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
25 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
26 indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,

1 ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
2 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
3 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
4 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
5 copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
6 similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
7 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
8 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
9 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
10 similar types of intangible assets.
11 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
12 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
13 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
14 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
15 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
16 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
17 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
18 to such item; or
19 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
20 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
21 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
22 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
23 following:
24 (a) the person during the same taxable
25 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
26 intangible expense or cost to a person that is

HB4004- 36 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 not a related member, and
2 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
3 intangible expense or cost between the
4 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
5 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
6 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
7 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
8 or
9 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
10 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
11 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
12 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
13 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
14 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
15 writing to the application or use of an alternative
16 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
17 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
18 Director from making any other adjustment
19 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
20 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
21 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
22 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
23 and such regulations provide methods and standards
24 by which the Department will utilize its authority
25 under Section 404 of this Act;
26 (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after

HB4004- 37 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
2 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
3 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
4 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
5 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
6 business group but for the fact that the person is
7 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
8 included in the unitary business group because he or
9 she is ordinarily required to apportion business

19 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
20 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
21 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
22 included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
23 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts
24 included in gross income under Section 78 of the
25 Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the
26 same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or

HB4004- 56 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 incurred.
2 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
3 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
4 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
5 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
6 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
7 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
8 with respect to such interest; or
9 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
10 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
11 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
12 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
13 following:
14 (a) the person, during the same taxable
15 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
16 to a person that is not a related member, and
17 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
18 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
19 person did not have as a principal purpose the
20 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
21 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
22 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
23 terms; or
24 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
25 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
26 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or

HB4004- 57 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
2 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
3 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
4 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
5 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
6 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
7 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
8 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
9 to the application or use of an alternative method
10 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
11 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
12 Director from making any other adjustment
13 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
14 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
15 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
16 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
17 and such regulations provide methods and standards
18 by which the Department will utilize its authority
19 under Section 404 of this Act;
20 (G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
21 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
22 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
23 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
24 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
25 foreign person who would be a member of the same
26 unitary business group but for the fact that the

HB4004- 58 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 foreign person's business activity outside the United
2 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
3 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
4 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
5 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
6 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
7 from being included in the unitary business group
8 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
9 business income under different subsections of Section
10 304. The addition modification required by this
11 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
12 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
13 group for the same taxable year and received by the
14 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
15 business group (including amounts included in gross
16 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
17 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
18 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
19 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
20 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
21 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
22 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
23 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
24 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
25 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
26 "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)

HB4004- 59 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
2 direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
3 management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
4 disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
5 incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
6 transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
7 patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
8 fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
9 purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
10 includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
11 trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
12 trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
13 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
14 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
15 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
16 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
17 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
18 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
19 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
20 to such item; or
21 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
22 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
23 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
24 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
25 following:
26 (a) the person during the same taxable

HB4004- 60 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
2 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
3 not a related member, and
4 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
5 intangible expense or cost between the
6 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
7 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
8 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
9 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
10 or
11 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
12 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
13 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
14 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
15 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
16 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
17 writing to the application or use of an alternative
18 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
19 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
20 Director from making any other adjustment
21 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
22 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
23 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
24 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
25 and such regulations provide methods and standards
26 by which the Department will utilize its authority

HB4004- 61 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 under Section 404 of this Act;
2 (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
3 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
4 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
5 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
6 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
7 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
8 business group but for the fact that the person is
9 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
10 included in the unitary business group because he or
11 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
12 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
13 addition modification required by this subparagraph
14 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
15 included in base income of the unitary group for the
16 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
17 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
18 (including amounts included in gross income under
19 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
20 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
21 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
22 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
23 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
24 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
25 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
26 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or

HB4004- 62 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
2 (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

7 December 31, 2017, an amount equal to the deduction

15 Internal Revenue Code or included in such total as
16 distributions under the provisions of any retirement
17 or disability plan for employees of any governmental
18 agency or unit, or retirement payments to retired

21 Internal Revenue Code and regulations adopted pursuant
22 thereto;
23 (I) The valuation limitation amount;
24 (J) An amount equal to the amount of any tax

6 treaties or statutes of the United States; provided
7 that, in the case of any statute of this State that
8 exempts income derived from bonds or other obligations
9 from the tax imposed under this Act, the amount
10 exempted shall be the interest net of bond premium
11 amortization;
12 (L) With the exception of any amounts subtracted
13 under subparagraph (K), an amount equal to the sum of
14 all amounts disallowed as deductions by (i) Sections
15 171(a) (2) and 265(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code,

24 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
25 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
26 preponderance of the evidence, both of the

HB4004- 75 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 following:
2 (a) the person, during the same taxable
3 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
4 to a person that is not a related member, and
5 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
6 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
7 person did not have as a principal purpose the
8 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
9 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
10 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
11 terms; or
12 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
13 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
14 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
15 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
16 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
17 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
18 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
19 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
20 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
21 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
22 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
23 to the application or use of an alternative method
24 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
25 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
26 Director from making any other adjustment

HB4004- 76 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
2 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
3 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
4 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
5 and such regulations provide methods and standards
6 by which the Department will utilize its authority
7 under Section 404 of this Act; and
8 (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
9 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
10 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
11 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
12 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
13 foreign person who would be a member of the same
14 unitary business group but for the fact that the
15 foreign person's business activity outside the United
16 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
17 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
18 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
19 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
20 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
21 from being included in the unitary business group
22 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
23 business income under different subsections of Section
24 304. The addition modification required by this
25 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
26 dividends were included in base income of the unitary

HB4004- 77 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b

5 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
6 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
7 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
8 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
9 indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
10 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
11 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
12 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
13 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
14 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
15 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
16 indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
17 ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
18 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
19 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
20 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
21 copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
22 similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
23 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
24 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
25 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
26 similar types of intangible assets;

1 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
2 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
3 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
4 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
5 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
6 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
7 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
8 to such item; or
9 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
10 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
11 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
12 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
13 following:
14 (a) the person during the same taxable
15 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
16 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
17 not a related member, and
18 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
19 intangible expense or cost between the
20 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
21 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
22 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
23 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
24 or
25 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
26 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

HB4004- 79 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
2 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
3 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
4 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
5 writing to the application or use of an alternative
6 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
7 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
8 Director from making any other adjustment
9 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
10 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
11 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
12 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
13 and such regulations provide methods and standards
14 by which the Department will utilize its authority
15 under Section 404 of this Act;
16 (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
17 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance
18 premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
19 deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
20 accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
21 person who would be a member of the same unitary
22 business group but for the fact that the person is
23 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
24 included in the unitary business group because he or
25 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
26 income under different subsections of Section 304. The

HB4004- 80 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 addition modification required by this subparagraph
2 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
3 included in base income of the unitary group for the
4 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
5 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
6 (including amounts included in gross income under
7 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
8 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
9 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
10 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
11 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
12 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
13 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
14 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or
15 Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;
16 (D-10) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

9 of the United States; provided that, in the case of any

17 and Section 803(e), a taxpayer's gross income, adjusted
18 gross income, or taxable income for the taxable year shall
19 mean the amount of gross income, adjusted gross income or
20 taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax
21 purposes for the taxable year under the provisions of the
22 Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income may be less than
23 zero. However, for taxable years ending on or after
24 December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from
25 taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not

HB4004- 89 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
2 year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess
3 of addition modifications over subtraction modifications
4 for the taxable year. For taxable years ending prior to
5 December 31, 1986, taxable income may never be an amount in
6 excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as
7 defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the
8 Internal Revenue Code, provided that when taxable income of
9 a corporation (other than a Subchapter S corporation),
10 trust, or estate is less than zero and addition
11 modifications, other than those provided by subparagraph
12 (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
13 subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
14 trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
15 addition modification must be made under those
16 subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
17 taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
18 applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
19 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
20 (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
21 Revenue Code.
22 (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
23 subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
24 federal income tax purposes shall mean:
25 (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
26 of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed

HB4004- 90 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
2 insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
3 distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
4 accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the
5 Internal Revenue Code;
6 (B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case
7 of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax
8 imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code,
9 insurance company taxable income;
10 (C) Regulated investment companies. In the case of
11 a regulated investment company subject to the tax
12 imposed by Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code,
13 investment company taxable income;
14 (D) Real estate investment trusts. In the case of a
15 real estate investment trust subject to the tax imposed
16 by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code, real
17 estate investment trust taxable income;
18 (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
19 corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
20 corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
21 for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
22 taxable income determined as if such corporation had
23 filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
24 for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
25 for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
26 purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate

HB4004- 91 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 taxable income shall be determined as if the election
2 provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue
3 Code had been in effect for all such years;
4 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
5 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
6 organization determined in accordance with the
7 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
8 Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
9 against offsetting losses from patronage activities
10 against income from nonpatronage activities; except
11 that a cooperative corporation or association may make
12 an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
13 of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
14 event such election is made, such losses shall be
15 computed and carried over in a manner consistent with
16 subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
17 apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
18 the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
19 for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
20 The election shall be effective for all taxable years
21 with original returns due on or after the date of the
22 election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
23 amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
24 to provide that the election shall be effective for
25 losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
26 occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,

HB4004- 92 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
2 Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting
3 forth requirements for documenting the elections and
4 any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
5 used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
6 elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
7 existing law;
8 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
9 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
10 an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
11 the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
12 corporation determined in accordance with Section
13 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
14 taxable income shall take into account those items
15 which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
16 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
17 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
18 a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
19 Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
20 instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
21 effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
22 corporation determined in accordance with the federal
23 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
24 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
25 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
26 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable

HB4004- 93 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 income shall take into account those items which are
2 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
3 but which would be taken into account by an individual
4 in calculating his taxable income.
5 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
6 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
7 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
8 business has been classified as business income and in a
9 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
10 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
11 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
12 related to that asset or business that generated the
13 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
14 business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
15 or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
16 using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
17 for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
18 taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
19 computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
20 the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
21 taxable years.
22 (f) Valuation limitation amount.
23 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
24 referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and

HB4004- 94 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
2 amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
3 under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
4 Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
5 which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
6 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
7 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
8 capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
9 gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
10 the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
11 taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
12 such gain included in the amount determined under
13 subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
14 (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
15 (A) If the fair market value of property referred
16 to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
17 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
18 such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
19 fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
20 determining gain) for such property on that date
21 (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
22 effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
23 and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
24 respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
25 such property.
26 (B) If the fair market value of property referred

HB4004- 95 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
2 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
3 amount for such property is that amount which bears the
4 same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
5 property for federal income tax purposes for the
6 taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
7 that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
8 property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
9 full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
10 period for the property.

8 Sec. 304. Business income of persons other than residents.
9 (a) In general. The business income of a person other than
10a resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's
11business income is derived solely from this State. If a person
12other than a resident derives business income from this State
13and one or more other states, then, for tax years ending on or
14before December 30, 1998, and for tax years ending on or after
15December 31, 2017, and except as otherwise provided by this
16Section, such person's business income shall be apportioned to
17this State by multiplying the income by a fraction, the
18numerator of which is the sum of the property factor (if any),
19the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the sales factor (if
20any), and the denominator of which is 4 reduced by the number
21of factors other than the sales factor which have a denominator
22of zero and by an additional 2 if the sales factor has a
23denominator of zero. For tax years ending on or after December
2431, 1998, and ending prior to December 31, 2017, and except as
25otherwise provided by this Section, persons other than

HB4004- 97 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1residents who derive business income from this State and one or
2more other states shall compute their apportionment factor by
3weighting their property, payroll, and sales factors as
4provided in subsection (h) of this Section.
5 (1) Property factor.
6 (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of
7 which is the average value of the person's real and
8 tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the
9 trade or business in this State during the taxable year and
10 the denominator of which is the average value of all the
11 person's real and tangible personal property owned or
12 rented and used in the trade or business during the taxable
13 year.
14 (B) Property owned by the person is valued at its
15 original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at 8
16 times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is
17 the annual rental rate paid by the person less any annual
18 rental rate received by the person from sub-rentals.
19 (C) The average value of property shall be determined
20 by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the
21 taxable year but the Director may require the averaging of
22 monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably
23 required to reflect properly the average value of the
24 person's property.
25 (2) Payroll factor.
26 (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of

HB4004- 98 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 which is the total amount paid in this State during the
2 taxable year by the person for compensation, and the
3 denominator of which is the total compensation paid
4 everywhere during the taxable year.
5 (B) Compensation is paid in this State if:
6 (i) The individual's service is performed entirely
7 within this State;
8 (ii) The individual's service is performed both
9 within and without this State, but the service
10 performed without this State is incidental to the
11 individual's service performed within this State; or
12 (iii) Some of the service is performed within this
13 State and either the base of operations, or if there is
14 no base of operations, the place from which the service
15 is directed or controlled is within this State, or the
16 base of operations or the place from which the service
17 is directed or controlled is not in any state in which
18 some part of the service is performed, but the
19 individual's residence is in this State.
20 (iv) Compensation paid to nonresident professional
21 athletes.
22 (a) General. The Illinois source income of a
23 nonresident individual who is a member of a
24 professional athletic team includes the portion of the
25 individual's total compensation for services performed
26 as a member of a professional athletic team during the

HB4004- 99 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 taxable year which the number of duty days spent within
2 this State performing services for the team in any
3 manner during the taxable year bears to the total
4 number of duty days spent both within and without this
5 State during the taxable year.
6 (b) Travel days. Travel days that do not involve
7 either a game, practice, team meeting, or other similar
8 team event are not considered duty days spent in this

11 State.

7 which they occur, including where a team's

10 scheduled to compete, occurs during more than one
11 tax year.

8 that person joins the team. Conversely, duty
9 days for any person who leaves a team during
10 this period shall end on the day that person
11 leaves the team. Where a person switches teams
12 during a taxable year, a separate duty-day
13 calculation shall be made for the period the
14 person was with each team.
15 (D) Days for which a member of a
16 professional athletic team is not compensated
17 and is not performing services for the team in
18 any manner, including days when such member of
19 a professional athletic team has been
20 suspended without pay and prohibited from
21 performing any services for the team, shall not
22 be treated as duty days.
23 (E) Days for which a member of a
24 professional athletic team is on the disabled
25 list and does not conduct rehabilitation
26 activities at facilities of the team, and is

8 performed as a member of a professional athletic
9 team" means the total compensation received during
10 the taxable year for services performed:
11 (A) from the beginning of the official
12 pre-season training period through the last

19 This compensation shall include, but is not
20 limited to, salaries, wages, bonuses as described

22 paid during the taxable year to a member of a
23 professional athletic team for services performed

23 separately charged.
24 (d) The receipts from charges for service
25 segments with a channel termination point located
26 in this State and in two or more other states, and

HB4004- 115 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b

19 (B-7) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, receipts from the sale of broadcasting services are
21 in this State if the broadcasting services are received in
22 this State. For purposes of this paragraph (B-7), the
23 following terms have the following meanings:
24 "Advertising revenue" means consideration received
25 by the taxpayer in exchange for broadcasting services
26 or allowing the broadcasting of commercials or

HB4004- 117 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 announcements in connection with the broadcasting of
2 film or radio programming, from sponsorships of the
3 programming, or from product placements in the
4 programming.
5 "Audience factor" means the ratio that the
6 audience or subscribers located in this State of a
7 station, a network, or a cable system bears to the
8 total audience or total subscribers for that station,
9 network, or cable system. The audience factor for film
10 or radio programming shall be determined by reference
11 to the books and records of the taxpayer or by
12 reference to published rating statistics provided the
13 method used by the taxpayer is consistently used from
14 year to year for this purpose and fairly represents the
15 taxpayer's activity in this State.
16 "Broadcast" or "broadcasting" or "broadcasting
17 services" means the transmission or provision of film
18 or radio programming, whether through the public
19 airwaves, by cable, by direct or indirect satellite
20 transmission, or by any other means of communication,
21 either through a station, a network, or a cable system.
22 "Film" or "film programming" means the broadcast
23 on television of any and all performances, events, or
24 productions, including but not limited to news,
25 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
26 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either

HB4004- 118 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 live or through the use of video tape, disc, or any
2 other type of format or medium. Each episode of a
3 series of films produced for television shall
4 constitute separate "film" notwithstanding that the
5 series relates to the same principal subject and is
6 produced during one or more tax periods.
7 "Radio" or "radio programming" means the broadcast
8 on radio of any and all performances, events, or
9 productions, including but not limited to news,
10 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
11 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
12 live or through the use of an audio tape, disc, or any
13 other format or medium. Each episode in a series of
14 radio programming produced for radio broadcast shall
15 constitute a separate "radio programming"
16 notwithstanding that the series relates to the same
17 principal subject and is produced during one or more
18 tax periods.
19 (i) In the case of advertising revenue from
20 broadcasting, the customer is the advertiser and
21 the service is received in this State if the
22 commercial domicile of the advertiser is in this
23 State.
24 (ii) In the case where film or radio
25 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
26 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration

HB4004- 119 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 received from the recipient of the broadcast, the
2 portion of the service that is received in this
3 State is measured by the portion of the recipients
4 of the broadcast located in this State.
5 Accordingly, the fee or other remuneration for
6 such service that is included in the Illinois
7 numerator of the sales factor is the total of those
8 fees or other remuneration received from
9 recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this
10 paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location
11 of the recipients of its broadcast using the
12 address of the recipient shown in its contracts
13 with the recipient or using the billing address of
14 the recipient in the taxpayer's records.
15 (iii) In the case where film or radio
16 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
17 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
18 from the person providing the programming, the
19 portion of the broadcast service that is received
20 by such station, network, or cable system in this
21 State is measured by the portion of recipients of
22 the broadcast located in this State. Accordingly,
23 the amount of revenue related to such an
24 arrangement that is included in the Illinois
25 numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or
26 other total remuneration from the person providing

HB4004- 120 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 the programming related to that broadcast
2 multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
3 that broadcast.
4 (iv) In the case where film or radio
5 programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a
6 network or station to a customer for broadcast in
7 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
8 customer the broadcasting service is received at
9 the location of the office of the customer from
10 which the services were ordered in the regular
11 course of the customer's trade or business.
12 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
13 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
14 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
15 revenue from such customers who receive the
16 broadcasting service in Illinois.
17 (v) In the case where film or radio programming
18 is provided by a taxpayer that is not a network or
19 station to another person for broadcasting in
20 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
21 person, the broadcasting service is received at
22 the location of the office of the customer from
23 which the services were ordered in the regular
24 course of the customer's trade or business.
25 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
26 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's

HB4004- 121 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
2 revenue from such customers who receive the
3 broadcasting service in Illinois.
4 (B-8) Gross receipts from winnings under the Illinois
5 Lottery Law from the assignment of a prize under Section
6 13.1 of the Illinois Lottery Law are received in this
7 State. This paragraph (B-8) applies only to taxable years
8 ending on or after December 31, 2013.
9 (C) For taxable years ending before December 31, 2008,
10 sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1),
11 (B-2), and (B-8) are in this State if:
12 (i) The income-producing activity is performed in
13 this State; or
14 (ii) The income-producing activity is performed
15 both within and without this State and a greater
16 proportion of the income-producing activity is
17 performed within this State than without this State,
18 based on performance costs.
19 (C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B),
21 (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if any of
22 the following criteria are met:
23 (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property
24 are in this State if the property is located in this
25 State.
26 (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible

HB4004- 122 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 personal property are in this State if the property is
2 located in this State during the rental period. Sales
3 from the lease or rental of tangible personal property
4 that is characteristically moving property, including,
5 but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock,
6 aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this
7 State to the extent that the property is used in this
8 State.
9 (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not
10 less than zero) and other items of income from
11 intangible personal property, the sale is in this State
12 if:
13 (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer
14 in the item of intangible personal property within
15 the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue
16 Code, the income or gain is received from a
17 customer in this State. For purposes of this
18 subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the
19 customer is an individual, trust or estate who is a
20 resident of this State and, for all other
21 customers, if the customer's commercial domicile
22 is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual
23 knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile
24 of a customer during a taxable year, the customer
25 shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if
26 the billing address of the customer, as shown in

HB4004- 123 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 the records of the dealer, is in this State; or
2 (b) in all other cases, if the
3 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
4 performed in this State or, if the
5 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
6 performed both within and without this State, if a
7 greater proportion of the income-producing
8 activity of the taxpayer is performed within this
9 State than in any other state, based on performance
10 costs.
11 (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the
12 services are received in this State. For the purposes
13 of this section, gross receipts from the performance of
14 services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
15 trust may only be attributed to a state where that
16 corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place of
17 business. If the state where the services are received
18 is not readily determinable or is a state where the
19 corporation, partnership, or trust receiving the
20 service does not have a fixed place of business, the
21 services shall be deemed to be received at the location
22 of the office of the customer from which the services
23 were ordered in the regular course of the customer's
24 trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be
25 determined, the services shall be deemed to be received
26 at the office of the customer to which the services are

HB4004- 124 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in
2 which the services are received, the sale must be
3 excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of
4 the sales factor. The Department shall adopt rules
5 prescribing where specific types of service are
6 received, including, but not limited to, publishing,
7 and utility service.
8 (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
9 1995, the following items of income shall not be included
10 in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor:
11 dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the
12 Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in
13 Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
14 shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
15 construing this Section for taxable years ending before
16 December 31, 1995.
17 (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years
18 ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that a
19 taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
20 paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
21 in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
22 be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
23 that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for any
24 tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January 1,
25 1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions
26 of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to

HB4004- 125 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent such refund is
2 the result of applying the provisions of paragraph (B-1) or
3 (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business
4 group, such election shall apply to all members of such
5 group for every tax year such group is in existence, but
6 shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during which
7 that taxpayer is not a member of such group.
8 (b) Insurance companies.
9 (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
10 paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
11 a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
12 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
13 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
14 property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
15 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
16 property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this
17 subsection, the term "direct premiums written" means the
18 total amount of direct premiums written, assessments and
19 annuity considerations as reported for the taxable year on
20 the annual statement filed by the company with the Illinois
21 Director of Insurance in the form approved by the National
22 Convention of Insurance Commissioners or such other form as
23 may be prescribed in lieu thereof.
24 (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
25 written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
26 reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such

HB4004- 126 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
2 such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
3 sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon
4 property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written
5 for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in
6 this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of
7 (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
8 or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for
9 reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk
10 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, premiums
11 written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or
12 risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,
13 may, at the election of the company, be determined on the
14 basis of the proportion which premiums written for
15 reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled
16 in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance
17 accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
18 proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for
19 insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
20 ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to
21 the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
22 ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by a
23 company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
24 ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
25 that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
26 taxable years, and may be altered only with the written

HB4004- 127 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 permission of the Department, which shall not be
2 unreasonably withheld.
3 (c) Financial organizations.
4 (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
5 December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
6 organization shall be apportioned to this State by
7 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
8 which is its business income from sources within this
9 State, and the denominator of which is its business income
10 from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
11 business income of a financial organization from sources
12 within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in
13 subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
14 adjusted income of an international banking facility as
15 determined in paragraph (2):
16 (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
17 financial services rendered within this State;
18 (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
19 other securities managed within this State;
20 (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
21 customers, which are received within this State;
22 (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
23 business maintained within this State for carrying
24 debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
25 of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
26 (E) Any other gross income resulting from the

HB4004- 128 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 operation as a financial organization within this
2 State. In computing the amounts referred to in
3 paragraphs (A) through (E) of this subsection, any
4 amount received by a member of an affiliated group
5 (determined under Section 1504(a) of the Internal
6 Revenue Code but without reference to whether any such
7 corporation is an "includible corporation" under
8 Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) from
9 another member of such group shall be included only to
10 the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
11 recipient directly related thereto.
12 (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years
13 ending before December 31, 2008:
14 (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
15 international banking facility is its income reduced
16 by the amount of the floor amount.
17 (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
18 amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of
19 the international banking facility by a fraction, not
20 greater than one, which is determined as follows:
21 (i) The numerator shall be:
22 The average aggregate, determined on a
23 quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
24 loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
25 domiciled borrowers (except where secured
26 primarily by real estate) and to foreign

HB4004- 129 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 governments and other foreign official
2 institutions, as reported for its branches,
3 agencies and offices within the state on its
4 "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
5 Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
6 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
7 other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
8 minus
9 The average aggregate, determined on a
10 quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of
11 an international banking facility), as reported by
12 the financial institution for its branches,
13 agencies and offices within the state, on the
14 corresponding Schedule and lines of the
15 Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
16 taxable year, provided, however, that in no case
17 shall the amount determined in this clause (the
18 subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
19 preceding clause (the minuend); and
20 (ii) the denominator shall be the average
21 aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
22 international banking facility's loans to banks in
23 foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
24 (except where secured primarily by real estate)
25 and to foreign governments and other foreign
26 official institutions, which were recorded in its

HB4004- 130 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 financial accounts for the current taxable year.
2 (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
3 in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
4 of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
5 Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities
6 is altered so that the information required for
7 determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
8 A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution
9 shall notify the Department and the Department may, by
10 regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the
11 use of an alternative source for such information. The
12 financial institution shall also notify the Department
13 should its international banking facility fail to
14 qualify as such, in whole or in part, or should there
15 be any amendment or change to the Consolidated Report
16 of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent such
17 amendment or change alters the information used in
18 determining the floor amount.
19 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, the business income of a financial organization shall
21 be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by
22 a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts
23 from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to
24 this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is
25 its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year.
26 "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3)

HB4004- 131 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 means gross income, including net taxable gain on
2 disposition of assets, including securities and money
3 market instruments, when derived from transactions and
4 activities in the regular course of the financial
5 organization's trade or business. The following examples
6 are illustrative:
7 (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or
8 tangible personal property are in this State if the
9 property is located in this State during the rental
10 period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible
11 personal property that is characteristically moving
12 property, including, but not limited to, motor
13 vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile
14 equipment are from sources in this State to the extent
15 that the property is used in this State.
16 (ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on

21 (iii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on

1 disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans
2 and installment obligations that are not secured by
3 real or tangible personal property are from sources in
4 this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be
5 applied in this State. If it cannot be determined where
6 the funds are to be applied, the income and receipts
7 are from sources in this State if the office of the
8 borrower from which the loan was negotiated in the
9 regular course of business is located in this State. If
10 the location of this office cannot be determined, the
11 income and receipts shall be excluded from the
12 numerator and denominator of the sales factor.
13 (v) Interest income, fees, gains on disposition,
14 service charges, merchant discount income, and other
15 receipts from credit card receivables are from sources
16 in this State if the card charges are regularly billed

19 include the amounts described in such
20 subparagraphs.
21 (A) The receipts factor shall include the
22 amount by which interest from federal funds
23 sold and securities purchased under resale

6 the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
7 transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
8 interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,
9 and losses from such assets and activities.
10 (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
11 includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
12 less than zero), and other income from investment
13 assets and activities and from trading assets and
14 activities described in paragraph (1) of this
15 subsection that are attributable to this State.
16 (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
17 gains (but not less than zero), and other
18 income from investment assets and activities
19 in the investment account to be attributed to
20 this State and included in the numerator is
21 determined by multiplying all such income from
22 such assets and activities by a fraction, the
23 numerator of which is the gross income from
24 such assets and activities which are properly
25 assigned to a fixed place of business of the
26 taxpayer within this State and the denominator

HB4004- 135 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 of which is the gross income from all such
2 assets and activities.
3 (B) The amount of interest from federal
4 funds sold and purchased and from securities
5 purchased under resale agreements and
6 securities sold under repurchase agreements
7 attributable to this State and included in the
8 numerator is determined by multiplying the
9 amount described in subparagraph (A) of
10 paragraph (1) of this subsection from such
11 funds and such securities by a fraction, the
12 numerator of which is the gross income from
13 such funds and such securities which are
14 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
15 of the taxpayer within this State and the
16 denominator of which is the gross income from
17 all such funds and such securities.
18 (C) The amount of interest, dividends,
19 gains, and other income from trading assets and
20 activities, including but not limited to
21 assets and activities in the matched book, in
22 the arbitrage book and foreign currency
23 transactions (but excluding amounts described
24 in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph),
25 attributable to this State and included in the
26 numerator is determined by multiplying the

HB4004- 136 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 amount described in subparagraph (B) of
2 paragraph (1) of this subsection by a fraction,
3 the numerator of which is the gross income from
4 such trading assets and activities which are
5 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
6 of the taxpayer within this State and the
7 denominator of which is the gross income from
8 all such assets and activities.
9 (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
10 this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
11 the investment or trading asset or activity is
12 assigned to the fixed place of business with
13 which it has a preponderance of substantive
14 contacts. An investment or trading asset or
15 activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
16 place of business without the State shall be
17 presumed to have been properly assigned if:
18 (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
19 regular course of its business, such asset
20 or activity on its records to a fixed place
21 of business consistent with federal or
22 state regulatory requirements;
23 (ii) such assignment on its records is
24 based upon substantive contacts of the
25 asset or activity to such fixed place of
26 business; and

HB4004- 137 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
2 reflecting assignment of such assets or
3 activities for the filing of all state and
4 local tax returns for which an assignment
5 of such assets or activities to a fixed
6 place of business is required.
7 (E) The presumption of proper assignment
8 of an investment or trading asset or activity
9 provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
10 of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
11 showing by the Department, supported by a
12 preponderance of the evidence, that the
13 preponderance of substantive contacts
14 regarding such asset or activity did not occur
15 at the fixed place of business to which it was
16 assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the
17 fixed place of business that has a
18 preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
19 be determined for an investment or trading
20 asset or activity to which the presumption in
21 subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
22 subsection does not apply or with respect to
23 which that presumption has been rebutted, that
24 asset or activity is properly assigned to the
25 state in which the taxpayer's commercial
26 domicile is located. For purposes of this

HB4004- 138 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
2 subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
3 commercial domicile is in the state of the
4 United States or the District of Columbia to
5 which the greatest number of employees are
6 regularly connected with the management of the
7 investment or trading income or out of which
8 they are working, irrespective of where the
9 services of such employees are performed, as of
10 the last day of the taxable year.

12 (5) (Blank).
13 (c-1) Federally regulated exchanges. For taxable years
14ending on or after December 31, 2012 and ending prior to
15December 31, 2017, business income of a federally regulated
16exchange shall, at the option of the federally regulated
17exchange, be apportioned to this State by multiplying such
18income by a fraction, the numerator of which is its business
19income from sources within this State, and the denominator of
20which is its business income from all sources. For purposes of
21this subsection, the business income within this State of a
22federally regulated exchange is the sum of the following:
23 (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on
24 a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is
25 located in this State.
26 (2) Receipts attributable to all other matching,

HB4004- 139 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 execution, or clearing transactions, including without
2 limitation receipts from the provision of matching,
3 execution, or clearing services to another entity,
4 multiplied by (i) for taxable years ending on or after
5 December 31, 2012 but before December 31, 2013, 63.77%; and
6 (ii) for taxable years ending on or after December 31,
7 2013, 27.54%.
8 (3) All other receipts not governed by subparagraphs
9 (1) or (2) of this subsection (c-1), to the extent the
10 receipts would be characterized as "sales in this State"
11 under item (3) of subsection (a) of this Section.
12 "Federally regulated exchange" means (i) a "registered
13entity" within the meaning of 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(40)(A), (B),
14or (C), (ii) an "exchange" or "clearing agency" within the
15meaning of 15 U.S.C. Section 78c (a)(1) or (23), (iii) any such
16entities regulated under any successor regulatory structure to
17the foregoing, and (iv) all taxpayers who are members of the
18same unitary business group as a federally regulated exchange,
19determined without regard to the prohibition in Section
201501(a)(27) of this Act against including in a unitary business
21group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to apportion
22business income under different subsections of this Section;
23provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only if 50% or
24more of the business receipts of the unitary business group
25determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for the
26taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution, or

HB4004- 140 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described in
2subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
3 In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
4computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
5taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois
6apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
7for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or
8after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1) applied
9to the taxpayer.
10 (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
11before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
12furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to
13this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
14 (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
15 transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
16 State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
17 numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
18 this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
19 miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
20 paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
21 passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
22 for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
23 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
24 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
25 an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
26 freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the

HB4004- 141 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 person's
2 (A) relative railway operating income from total
3 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
4 Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of
5 transportation by railroad, and
6 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
7 freight transportation, in case of transportation
8 other than by railroad.
9 (2) Such business income derived from transportation
10 by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by
11 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
12 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
13 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
14 everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a revenue
15 mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel of oil,
16 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified quantity of
17 any other substance, the distance of 1 mile for a
18 consideration.
19 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, business income derived from providing
21 transportation services other than airline services shall
22 be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the
23 numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any
24 movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or
25 any other substance (other than by airline) that both
26 originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that

HB4004- 142 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or
2 shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other
3 substance (other than by airline) that originates in one
4 state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or
5 jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the
6 miles traveled in this State bears to total miles
7 everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all
8 revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people,
9 goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than
10 by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the
11 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
12 fraction above referred to shall first be determined
13 separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an
14 average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight
15 miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the taxpayer's:
16 (A) relative railway operating income from total
17 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
18 Surface Transportation Board, in the case of
19 transportation by railroad; and
20 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
21 freight transportation, in case of transportation
22 other than by railroad.
23 (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
24 2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
25 transportation services shall be apportioned to this State
26 by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of

HB4004- 143 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
2 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
3 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile
4 is the transportation of one passenger or one net ton of
5 freight the distance of one mile for a consideration. If a
6 person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers
7 and freight, the fraction above referred to shall be
8 determined by means of an average of the passenger revenue
9 mile fraction and the freight revenue mile fraction,
10 weighted to reflect the person's relative gross receipts
11 from passenger and freight airline transportation.
12 (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are
13engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection
14(a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
15State by one or more members of the group, the business income
16attributable to this State by any such member or members shall
17be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
18 (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
19apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of
20subsection (h) do not, for taxable years ending before December
2131, 2008, fairly represent the extent of a person's business
22activity in this State, or, for taxable years ending on or
23after December 31, 2008, fairly represent the market for the
24person's goods, services, or other sources of business income,
25the person may petition for, or the Director may, without a
26petition, permit or require, in respect of all or any part of

HB4004- 144 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1the person's business activity, if reasonable:
2 (1) Separate accounting;
3 (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;
4 (3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors
5 which will fairly represent the person's business
6 activities or market in this State; or
7 (4) The employment of any other method to effectuate an
8 equitable allocation and apportionment of the person's
9 business income.
10 (g) Cross reference. For allocation of business income by
11residents, see Section 301(a).
12 (h) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998 and
13ending on or before December 31, 2017, the apportionment factor
14of persons who apportion their business income to this State
15under subsection (a) shall be equal to:
16 (1) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998
17 and before December 31, 1999, 16 2/3% of the property
18 factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll factor plus 66 2/3% of
19 the sales factor;
20 (2) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999
21 and before December 31, 2000, 8 1/3% of the property factor
22 plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83 1/3% of the sales
23 factor;
24 (3) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
25 the sales factor.
26If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998 and

HB4004- 145 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1before December 31, 2000, the denominator of the payroll,
2property, or sales factor is zero, the apportionment factor
3computed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that
4year shall be divided by an amount equal to 100% minus the
5percentage weight given to each factor whose denominator is
6equal to zero.

14 the voting stock is owned directly or indirectly by another
15 corporate member of the water's-edge combined group.
16 "United States" means the 50 states of the United
17 States and the District of Columbia.
18 "Water's edge combined group" means all corporations
19 or entities included in the election of a taxpayer under
20 this Section.
21 (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, a taxpayer
22subject to the taxes imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of
23Section 201 of this Act may apportion its income under this
24Section. A return under filed by a taxpayer that elects to
25apportion its income under this Section must include the income

HB4004- 146 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1and apportionment factors of the following affiliated
2corporations only:
3 (1) a corporation incorporated in the United States in
4 a unitary relationship with the taxpayer and eligible to be
5 included in a federal consolidated return as described in
6 26 U.S.C. 1501 through 1505 that has more than 20% of its
7 payroll and property assignable to locations inside the
8 United States; for purposes of determining eligibility for
9 inclusion in a federal consolidated return under this
10 subsection (1)(a), the 80% stock ownership requirements of
11 26 U.S.C. 1504 must be reduced to ownership of over 50% of
12 the voting stock directly or indirectly owned or controlled
13 by an includable corporation;
14 (2) domestic international sales corporations, as
15 described in 26 U.S.C. 991 through 994, and foreign sales
16 corporations, as described in 26 U.S.C. 921 through 927;
17 (3) export trade corporations, as described in 26
18 U.S.C. 970 and 971;
19 (4) foreign corporations deriving gain or loss from
20 disposition of a United States real property interest to
21 the extent recognized under 26 U.S.C. 897;
22 (5) a corporation incorporated outside the United
23 States if over 50% of its voting stock is owned directly or
24 indirectly by the taxpayer and if more than 20% of the
25 average of its payroll and property is assignable to a
26 location inside the United States; or

HB4004- 147 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b

14subsection (b), the location of payroll and property shall be
15determined under the individual state's laws and regulations
16that set forth the apportionment formulas used to assign net
17income subject to taxes on or measured by net income. If a
18state does not impose a tax on or measured by net income,
19apportionment is determined under this Act. For the purposes of
20paragraph (6) of subsection (b), income shifted to a tax haven,
21to the extent taxable, is considered income subject to
22apportionment.
23 (d) A water's edge election may be made by a taxpayer and
24is effective only if every affiliated corporation subject to
25the taxes imposed under this Act consents to the election.
26Consent by the common parent of an affiliated group constitutes

HB4004- 148 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1consent of all members of the group. An affiliated corporation
2that becomes subject to taxes under this Act after the water's
3edge election is considered to have consented to the election.
4The election must disclose the identity of the taxpayer and the
5identity of any affiliated corporation, including an
6affiliated corporation incorporated in a tax haven set forth in
7paragraph (6) of subsection (b), in which the taxpayer owns
8directly or indirectly more than 50% of the voting stock of the
9affiliated corporation.
10 (e) Each water's edge election must be for a 3-year
11renewable period. A water's edge election may be changed by a
12taxpayer before the end of each 3-year period only with the
13permission of the Department. In granting a change of election,
14the Department shall impose reasonable conditions that are
15necessary to prevent the avoidance of tax or clearly reflect
16income for the election period prior to the change.
17 (f) For the purposes of this Section, dividends received
18from corporations incorporated outside the United States, to
19the extent taxable, are considered income subject to
20apportionment. The after-tax net income of United States
21corporations excluded from eligibility as affiliated
22corporations under this Section and possession corporations
23described in sections 931 through 934 and 936 of the Internal
24Revenue Code are considered dividends received from
25corporations incorporated outside the United States. Eighty
26percent of all dividends apportionable under this Section must

HB4004- 149 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1be excluded from income subject to apportionment. "Deemed"
2distributions, as set forth in section 78 of the Internal
3Revenue Code, and corresponding amounts with respect to
4dividends considered received under this subsection must be
5excluded from the income of the water's-edge combined group.
6The dividends apportionable under this subsection are in lieu
7of any expenses attributable to dividend income. A dividend
8from a corporation required to be combined in the water's edge
9combined group must be eliminated from the calculation of
10apportionable income.

3 This amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly is
4 declaratory of existing law.
5 (D) Subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph are
6 declaratory of existing law and apply retroactively,
7 for all tax years beginning on or before December 31,
8 1996, to all original returns, to all amended returns
9 filed no later than 30 days after the effective date of
10 this amendatory Act of 1996, and to all notices issued
11 on or before the effective date of this amendatory Act
12 of 1996 under subsection (a) of Section 903, subsection
13 (a) of Section 904, subsection (e) of Section 909, or
14 Section 912. A taxpayer that is a "financial
15 organization" that engages in any transaction with an
16 affiliate shall be a "financial organization" for all
17 purposes of this Act.
18 (E) For all tax years beginning on or before
19 December 31, 1996, a taxpayer that falls within the
20 definition of a "financial organization" under
21 subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph, but who
22 does not fall within the definition of a "financial
23 organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
24 the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may
25 irrevocably elect to apply the Proposed Regulations
26 for all of those years as though the Proposed

HB4004- 160 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted,
2 and in effect for all of those years. For purposes of

12 of Section 909 more than 30 days after the effective
13 date of this amendatory Act of 1996.
14 (F) Finance Leases. For purposes of this
15 subsection, a finance lease shall be treated as a loan
16 or other extension of credit, rather than as a lease,
17 regardless of how the transaction is characterized for
18 any other purpose, including the purposes of any
19 regulatory agency to which the lessor is subject. A
20 finance lease is any transaction in the form of a lease

24 Revenue Code.

1 (A) The term "unitary business group" means a group

3 business activities are integrated with, dependent
4 upon and contribute to each other. The group will not
5 include those members whose business activity outside
6 the United States is 80% or more of any such member's
7 total business activity; for purposes of this
8 paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304,
9 business activity within the United States shall be
10 measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
11 under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of Section
12 304 except that, in the case of members ordinarily
13 required to apportion business income by means of the 3
14 factor formula of property, payroll and sales
15 specified in subsection (a) of Section 304, including
16 the formula as weighted in subsection (h) of Section
17 304, such members shall not use the sales factor in the
18 computation and the results of the property and payroll
19 factor computations of subsection (a) of Section 304
20 shall be divided by 2 (by one if either the property or
21 payroll factor has a denominator of zero). The
22 computation required by the preceding sentence shall,
23 in each case, involve the division of the member's
24 property, payroll, or revenue miles in the United
25 States, insurance premiums on property or risk in the
26 United States, or financial organization business

HB4004- 170 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 income from sources within the United States, as the
2 case may be, by the respective worldwide figures for
3 such items. Common ownership in the case of
4 corporations is the direct or indirect control or
5 ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting
6 stock of the persons carrying on unitary business
7 activity. Unitary business activity can ordinarily be
8 illustrated where the activities of the members are:
9 (1) in the same general line (such as manufacturing,
10 wholesaling, retailing of tangible personal property,
11 insurance, transportation or finance); or (2) are
12 steps in a vertically structured enterprise or process
13 (such as the steps involved in the production of
14 natural resources, which might include exploration,
15 mining, refining, and marketing); and, in either
16 instance, the members are functionally integrated
17 through the exercise of strong centralized management
18 (where, for example, authority over such matters as
19 purchasing, financing, tax compliance, product line,
20 personnel, marketing and capital investment is not
21 left to each member).
22 (B) In no event, for taxable years ending prior to
23 December 31, 2017, shall any unitary business group
24 include members which are ordinarily required to
25 apportion business income under different subsections
26 of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or

HB4004- 171 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 after December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not
2 apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a
3 member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that
4 apportion business income under any of subsections
5 (b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary
6 business group would, but for the preceding sentence,
7 include members that are ordinarily required to
8 apportion business income under different subsections
9 of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section 304
10 for which there are two or more members, there shall be
11 a separate unitary business group composed of such
12 members. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, a
13 member is "ordinarily required to apportion business
14 income" under a particular subsection of Section 304 if
15 it would be required to use the apportionment method
16 prescribed by such subsection except for the fact that
17 it derives business income solely from Illinois. As
18 used in this paragraph, for taxable years ending before
19 December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States" means
20 only the 50 states and the District of Columbia, but
21 does not include any territory or possession of the
22 United States or any area over which the United States
23 has asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights
24 with respect to the exploration for or exploitation of
25 natural resources. For taxable years ending on or after
26 December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States", as used

HB4004- 172 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 in this paragraph, means only the 50 states, the
2 District of Columbia, and any area over which the
3 United States has asserted jurisdiction or claimed
4 exclusive rights with respect to the exploration for or
5 exploitation of natural resources, but does not
6 include any territory or possession of the United
7 States.
8 (C) Holding companies.
9 (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a
10 "holding company" is a corporation (other than a
11 corporation that is a financial organization under
12 paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section
13 1501 because it is a bank holding company under the
14 provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
15 (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.) or because it is owned by
16 a bank or a bank holding company) that owns a
17 controlling interest in one or more other
18 taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during
19 the period that includes the taxable year and the 2
20 immediately preceding taxable years or, if the
21 corporation was formed during the current or
22 immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable
23 years in which the corporation has been in
24 existence, derived substantially all its gross
25 income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties,
26 fees or other charges received from controlled

HB4004- 173 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b

2 on the sale or other disposition of interests in
3 controlled taxpayers or in property leased or
4 licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the
5 taxpayer in providing services to controlled
6 taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses
7 other than expenses (including interest and other
8 costs of borrowing) incurred in connection with
9 the acquisition and holding of interests in
10 controlled taxpayers and in the provision of
11 services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing
12 or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
13 (ii) The income of a holding company which is a
14 member of more than one unitary business group
15 shall be included in each unitary business group of
16 which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
17 including in each unitary business group that
18 portion of the base income of the holding company
19 that bears the same proportion to the total base
20 income of the holding company as the gross receipts
21 of the unitary business group bears to the combined
22 gross receipts of all unitary business groups (in
23 both cases without regard to the holding company)
24 or on any other reasonable basis, consistently
25 applied.
26 (iii) A holding company shall apportion its

HB4004- 174 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 business income under the subsection of Section
2 304 used by the other members of its unitary
3 business group. The apportionment factors of a
4 holding company which would be a member of more
5 than one unitary business group shall be included
6 with the apportionment factors of each unitary
7 business group of which it is a member on a pro
8 rata basis using the same method used in clause
9 (ii).
10 (iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C)
11 are intended to clarify existing law.
12 (D) If including the base income and factors of a
13 holding company in more than one unitary business group
14 under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect the
15 degree of integration between the holding company and
16 one or more of the unitary business groups, the
17 dependence of the holding company and one or more of
18 the unitary business groups upon each other, or the
19 contributions between the holding company and one or
20 more of the unitary business groups, the holding
21 company may petition the Director, under the
22 procedures provided under Section 304(f), for
23 permission to include all base income and factors of
24 the holding company only with members of a unitary
25 business group apportioning their business income
26 under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or

HB4004- 175 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 (d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the
2 holding company shall be included in a unitary business
3 group only with persons apportioning their business
4 income under the selected subsection of Section 304
5 until the Director grants a petition of the holding
6 company either to be included in more than one unitary
7 business group under subparagraph (C) or to include its
8 base income and factors only with members of a unitary
9 business group apportioning their business income
10 under a different subsection of Section 304.
11 (E) If the unitary business group members'
12 accounting periods differ, the common parent's
13 accounting period or, if there is no common parent, the
14 accounting period of the member that is expected to
15 have, on a recurring basis, the greatest Illinois
16 income tax liability must be used to determine whether
17 to use the apportionment method provided in subsection
18 (a) or subsection (h) of Section 304. The prohibition
19 against membership in a unitary business group for
20 taxpayers ordinarily required to apportion income
21 under different subsections of Section 304 does not
22 apply to taxpayers required to apportion income under
23 subsection (a) and subsection (h) of Section 304. The
24 provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax
25 years ending on or after December 31, 1998.
26 (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term "Subchapter S

HB4004- 176 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 corporation" means a corporation for which there is in
2 effect an election under Section 1362 of the Internal
3 Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to
4 opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S Revision Act
5 of 1982 and have applied instead the prior federal
6 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
7 (30) Foreign person. The term "foreign person" means
8 any person who is a nonresident alien individual and any
9 nonindividual entity, regardless of where created or
10 organized, whose business activity outside the United
11 States is 80% or more of the entity's total business
12 activity.
13 (b) Other definitions.
14 (1) Words denoting number, gender, and so forth, when
15 used in this Act, where not otherwise distinctly expressed
16 or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof:
17 (A) Words importing the singular include and apply
18 to several persons, parties or things;
19 (B) Words importing the plural include the
20 singular; and
21 (C) Words importing the masculine gender include
22 the feminine as well.
23 (2) "Company" or "association" as including successors
24 and assigns. The word "company" or "association", when used
25 in reference to a corporation, shall be deemed to embrace

HB4004- 177 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 the words "successors and assigns of such company or
2 association", and in like manner as if these last-named
3 words, or words of similar import, were expressed.
4 (3) Other terms. Any term used in any Section of this
5 Act with respect to the application of, or in connection
6 with, the provisions of any other Section of this Act shall
7 have the same meaning as in such other Section.

9 Section 10. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section
109 as follows:
11 (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
12 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
13and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
14of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
15the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
16amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
17when he is required to file his return for the period during
18which such tax was collected, less the vendor discount amount a
19discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
20after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
21greater, which is allowed to reimburse the retailer for
22expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
23preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
24data to the Department on request. On and after January 1, 1990

HB4004- 178 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1and prior to January 1, 2018, the vendor discount amount shall
2be 1.75% or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater. On and
3after January 1, 2018, the vendor discount amount shall be the
4sum of (i) 1.75% of the first $1,000 collected during the
5calendar year and (ii) 1% of the amount of proceeds collected
6during the calendar year that exceeds $1,000; however, on and
7after January 1, 2018, in no event shall the discount allowed
8to any vendor be less than $5 in any calendar year or more than
9$1,500 in any calendar year. In the case of retailers who
10report and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction basis,
11as provided in this Section, such discount shall be taken with
12each such tax remittance instead of when such retailer files
13his periodic return. The Department may disallow the discount
14for retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at
15the time the return is filed, but only if the Department's
16decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become
17final. A retailer need not remit that part of any tax collected
18by him to the extent that he is required to remit and does
19remit the tax imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
20with respect to the sale of the same property.
21 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
22conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
23wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
24extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
25filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
26vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required

HB4004- 179 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
2each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
3the selling price actually received during such tax return
4period.
5 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
6twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
7a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
8filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
9such information as the Department may reasonably require.
10 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
11quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
12quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
13calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
14taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
15of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
16the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
17 1. The name of the seller;
18 2. The address of the principal place of business from
19 which he engages in the business of selling tangible
20 personal property at retail in this State;
21 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
22 during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
23 personal property by him during such preceding calendar
24 month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
25 less all deductions allowed by law;
26 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this

HB4004- 180 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 Act;
2 5. The amount of tax due;
3 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
4 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
5 may require.
6 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
7the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
8the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
9due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
10 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
11monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
12payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
13funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
14an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
15all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
16funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
17an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
18all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
19funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
20an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
21payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
22funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
23sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
24other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
25by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
26The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the

HB4004- 181 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
2State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
3Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
4divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
5a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
6Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
7all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
8funds transfer.
9 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
10Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
11by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
12payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
13for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
14 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
15funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
16with the permission of the Department.
17 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
18transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
19payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
20in the manner authorized by the Department.
21 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
22effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
23requirements of this Section.
24 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
25tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
26Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service

HB4004- 182 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
2calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
3each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
4month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
5make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
622nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
7incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
8average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
9the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
10Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
11preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
12with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
13next following the month during which such tax liability is
14incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
15the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
16liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
17liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
18payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
19actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
20Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
21of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
22calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
23the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
24month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
25after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
26payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's

HB4004- 183 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
2liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
3the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
4or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
5payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
7liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
8the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
9or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
10begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
11amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
12the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
13calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
14such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
151989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
16amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
17the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
18calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
19actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
20amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
21against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
22that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
23requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
24Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
25monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
26complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest

HB4004- 184 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
2$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
3the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
4preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
5$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
6substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
7which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
8monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
9will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
10taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
11taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
12applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
13payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
14average monthly liability to the Department during the
15preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
16highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
17than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
18to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
194 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
20$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
21substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
22which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
23monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
24will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
25taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
26taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such

HB4004- 185 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
2seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
3quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
4amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
5liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
6minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
7payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
8taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
9Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
10provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
11rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
12amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
13on other than a calendar monthly basis.
14 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
15the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
16Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
17Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
18the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
19no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
20memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
21in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
22taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
23similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
24Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
25in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
26prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess

HB4004- 186 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
2after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
3unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
4the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
5liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
6Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
7the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
8accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
9the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
10all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
11taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
12be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
13credit taken and that actually due multiplied by the vendor
14discount amount, and the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
15and interest on such difference.
16 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
17return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
18the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
19authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
20with the return for January, February, and March of a given
21year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
22April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
23year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
24year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
25for October, November and December of a given year being due by
26January 20 of the following year.

HB4004- 187 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
2quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
3liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
4may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
5the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
6following year.
7 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
8substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
9returns.
10 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
11the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
12case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
13which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
14such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
15Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
16business.
17 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
18aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
19an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
20tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
21upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
22separate return for each such item of tangible personal
23property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
24transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
25vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
26watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,

HB4004- 188 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
2of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
3vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
4watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
5a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
6Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
7aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
8that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
9invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
10this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
11watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
12and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
13with an inboard motor.
14 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
15vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
16agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
17Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
18Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
19and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
20including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
21property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
22traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
23which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
24of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
25trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
26tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the

HB4004- 189 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
2such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
3due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
4fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
5identification of the property sold; such other information as
6is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
7such other information as the Department may reasonably
8require.
9 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
10and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
11name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
12price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
13traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
14for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
15extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
16the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
17deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
18the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
19transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
20the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
21such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
22claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
23sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
24information as the Department may reasonably require.
25 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
26than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is

HB4004- 190 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
2than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
3return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
4that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
5Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
6officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
7titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
8if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
9that this procedure will expedite the processing of
10applications for title or registration.
11 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
12shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
13satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
14the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
15Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
16(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
17that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
18may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
19whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
20that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
21support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
22certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
23tangible personal property.
24 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
25Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
26retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other

1evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
2is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
3paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
4Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
5mandate of this paragraph.
6 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
7wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
8tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
9retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
10paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
11of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
12being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
13the information required by the transaction reporting return
14and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
15the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
16determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
17and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
18credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
19with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
20provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
21the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
22same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
23if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
24 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
25selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
26the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal

HB4004- 192 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
2the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
3purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
4his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
5purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
6refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
7such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
8Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
9to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
10such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
11amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
12deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
13purchaser.
14 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
15include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
16covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
17personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
18but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
19from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
20remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
21return.
22 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
23Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
24return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
25returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
26Act, to furnish all the return information required by both

HB4004- 193 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1Acts on the one form.
2 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
3with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
4such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
5return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
6separate returns for each such registered business.

12 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
13the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
14of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
15is required to file his return for the period during which such
16tax was collected, less the vendor discount amount a discount
17of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January

8return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
9returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
10Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
11Acts on the one form.
12 Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
13with the Department under separate registration hereunder,

2distributor, or manufacturer shall furnish the sales
3information by personal delivery or by mail. For purposes of
4this paragraph, the term "electronic means" includes, but is
5not limited to, the use of a secure Internet website, e-mail,
6or facsimile.
7 If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable or
8creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less than
950 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents or more.
10 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
11monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
12payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
13funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has

23sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
24other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
25by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
26The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of

HB4004- 245 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
2State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
3Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year

9 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
10Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
11by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
12payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
13for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
14 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic

22effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
23requirements of this Section.
24 Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any
25return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
26is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest

HB4004- 246 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a
2dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest
3whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is
4less than 50 cents.
5 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
6return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
7the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
8authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
9with the return for January, February and March of a given year
10being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
11May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
12with the return for July, August and September of a given year
13being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
14October, November and December of a given year being due by
15January 20 of the following year.
16 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
17quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
18liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
19Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
20basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
21of the following year.
22 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
23substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
24returns.
25 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
26the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the

HB4004- 247 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
2which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
3such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
4Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
5business.
6 Where the same person has more than one business registered
7with the Department under separate registrations under this
8Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
9single return covering all such registered businesses, but
10shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
11 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
12aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
13an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
14tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
15upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
16separate return for each such item of tangible personal
17property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
18transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
19vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
20watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
21watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
22purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
23motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
24watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
25a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
26Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,

HB4004- 248 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
2transaction to the Department on the same uniform
3invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
4this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
5watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
6and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
7with an inboard motor.
8 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
9aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
10an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
11liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
12transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
13to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
14quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
15to file returns on an annual basis.
16 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
17vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
18agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
19Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle
20Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
21and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
22including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
23property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
24traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
25which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
26of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such

HB4004- 249 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
2tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
3amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
4such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
5due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
6fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
7identification of the property sold; such other information as
8is required in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and
9such other information as the Department may reasonably
10require.
11 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
12or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
13name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
14price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
15traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
16for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
17extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
18the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
19deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
20the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
21transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
22the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
23such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
24claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
25sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
26information as the Department may reasonably require.

HB4004- 250 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
2than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
3being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
4than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
5return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
6Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
7the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
8tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
9titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
10agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
11expedite the processing of applications for title or
12registration.
13 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
14shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
15satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
16the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
17Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
18receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
19satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
20purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
21with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
22property that is involved (if titling or registration is
23required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
24Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
25to such tangible personal property.
26 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this

HB4004- 251 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
2retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
3evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
4is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
5paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
6Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
7mandate of this paragraph.
8 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
9wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
10the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
11retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
12paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
13of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
14being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
15the information required by the transaction reporting return
16and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
17the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
18determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
19and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
20credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
21with the Department, but without the vendor's 2.1% or 1.75%
22discount provided for in this Section being allowed. When the
23user pays the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the
24tax in the same amount and in the same form in which it would be
25remitted if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the
26retailer.

HB4004- 252 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
2period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
3returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
4subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
5may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
6receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
7return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
8with respect to such receipts.
9 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
10behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
11vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
12accredited agent of such corporation.
13 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
14filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
15signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
16the limited liability company.
17 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
18return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
19return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
20Act less the vendor discount amount a discount of 2.1% prior to
21January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
22per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
23reimburse the retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping
24records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and
25supplying data to the Department on request. On and after
26January 1, 1990 and prior to January 1, 2018, the vendor

HB4004- 253 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1discount amount shall be 1.75% or $5 per calendar year,
2whichever is greater. On and after January 1, 2018, the vendor
3discount amount shall be the sum of (i) 1.75% of the first
4$1,000 collected during the calendar year and (ii) 1% of the
5amount of proceeds collected during the calendar year that
6exceeds $1,000; however, on and after January 1, 2018, in no
7event shall the discount allowed to any vendor be less than $5
8in any calendar year or more than $1,500 in any calendar year.
9Any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be
10included in the amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is
11computed. In the case of retailers who report and pay the tax
12on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
13Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
14remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
15return. The Department may disallow the discount for retailers
16whose certificate of registration is revoked at the time the
17return is filed, but only if the Department's decision to
18revoke the certificate of registration has become final.
19 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
20tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
21Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
22Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
23remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
24or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
25shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
26day of the month next following the month during which such tax

HB4004- 254 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
2on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
3during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
41, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
5Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
6Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
7liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
8with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
9preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
10with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
11next following the month during which such tax liability is
12incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
13the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
14liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
15liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
16payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
17actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
18Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
19of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
20calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
21the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
22month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
23after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
24payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
25actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
26liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If

HB4004- 255 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
2or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
3payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
4actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
5liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
6the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
7or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
8begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
9amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
10the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
11calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
12such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
131989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
14amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
15the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
16calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
17actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
18amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
19against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
20that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
21requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
22Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
23of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
24shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
25to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
26quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the

HB4004- 256 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
2taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
3computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
4calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
5taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
6the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
7to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
8reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
9threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
10Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
11and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
12the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
13taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
14more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
15until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
16Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
17(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
18lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
19average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
20each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
21quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
22show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
23business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
24that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
25foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
26above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a

HB4004- 257 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
2shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
3that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
4long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
5the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
6taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
7difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
8amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
9paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
10payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
11minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
12The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
13govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
14payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
15monthly basis.
16 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
172001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
18quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
19is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
20prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
21excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
22calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
23required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
24Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
25month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
26during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to

HB4004- 258 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221)
2this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
3not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability under
4Section 2d. If the month during which such tax liability is
5incurred begins on or after January 1, 1986, each payment shall
6be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
7liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability
8for the same calendar month of the preceding calendar year. If
9the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
10or after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
11equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
12or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
13month of the preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly
14payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
15the taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section
16or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
17requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
18Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until such
19taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
20preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If
21any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in
22the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
23and interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer
24has previously made payments for that month in excess of the
25minimum payments previously due.
26 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October

HB4004- 259 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
11, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
2make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
3who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
4prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
5excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
6calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
7required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
8Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
9month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
10shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
11liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
12the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
13the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
14final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
15filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
16Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
17monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
18shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
19collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
20(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of

9 Two or more distributors that use a common means of
10affixing revenue tax stamps or that are owned or controlled by
11the same interests shall be treated as a single distributor for
12the purpose of computing the discount.
13 Cigarette manufacturers who are distributors under Section
147(a) of this Act, and who place their cigarettes in original
15packages which are contained inside a sealed transparent
16wrapper, shall be required to remit the tax which they are
17required to collect under this Act to the Department by
18remitting the amount thereof to the Department by the 5th day
19of each month, covering cigarettes shipped or otherwise

22the Department the tax so collected by him from purchasers
23under this Act to the extent to which such distributor is
24required to remit the tax imposed by the Cigarette Tax Act to
25the Department with respect to the same cigarettes. All taxes

11cigarettes underneath the sealed transparent outside wrapper
12of such original package, in such place thereon and in such
13manner as the Department may prescribe; provided (as stated
14hereinbefore) that this requirement does not apply when such
15distributor is required or authorized by the Cigarette Tax Act
16to place the tax imprint provided for in the last paragraph of
17Section 3 of that Act underneath the sealed transparent wrapper
18of such original package of cigarettes. Such imprinted language
19shall acknowledge the manufacturer's collection and payment of
20or liability for the tax imposed by this Act with respect to
21such cigarettes.
22 The Department shall adopt the design or designs of the tax
23stamps and shall procure the printing of such stamps in such
24amounts and denominations as it deems necessary to provide for
25the affixation of the proper amount of tax stamps to each
26original package of cigarettes.

HB4004- 298 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1 Where tax stamps are required, the Department may authorize
2distributors to affix revenue tax stamps by imprinting tax
3meter stamps upon original packages of cigarettes. The

6of the proper taxes as herein imposed. No distributor may affix
7revenue tax stamps to original packages of cigarettes by
8imprinting meter stamps thereon unless such distributor has
9first obtained permission from the Department to employ this
10method of affixation. The Department shall regulate the use of
11tax meters and may, to assure the proper collection of the
12taxes imposed by this Act, revoke or suspend the privilege,
13theretofore granted by the Department to any distributor, to
14imprint tax meter stamps upon original packages of cigarettes.
15 The tax hereby imposed and not paid pursuant to this
16Section shall be paid to the Department directly by any person
17using such cigarettes within this State, pursuant to Section 12
18hereof.
19 A distributor shall not affix, or cause to be affixed, any
20stamp or imprint to a package of cigarettes, as provided for in
21this Section, if the tobacco product manufacturer, as defined
22in Section 10 of the Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act,
23that made or sold the cigarettes has failed to become a
24participating manufacturer, as defined in subdivision (a)(1)
25of Section 15 of the Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act,
26or has failed to create a qualified escrow fund for any

3 Section 45. The Motor Fuel Tax Law is amended by changing
4Sections 2b, 6, and 6a as follows:
5 (35 ILCS 505/2b) (from Ch. 120, par. 418b)
6 Sec. 2b. In addition to the tax collection and reporting
7responsibilities imposed elsewhere in this Act, a person who is
8required to pay the tax imposed by Section 2a of this Act shall
9pay the tax to the Department by return showing all fuel
10purchased, acquired or received and sold, distributed or used
11during the preceding calendar month including losses of fuel as
12the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature
13variations, and such other reasonable information as the
14Department may require. Losses of fuel as the result of
15evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature variations may not
16exceed 1% of the total gallons in storage at the beginning of
17the month, plus the receipts of gallonage during the month,
18minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the end of the
19month. Any loss reported that is in excess of this amount shall
20be subject to the tax imposed by Section 2a of this Law. On and
21after July 1, 2001, for each 6-month period January through
22June, net losses of fuel (for each category of fuel that is
23required to be reported on a return) as the result of
24evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature variations may not

HB4004- 310 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1exceed 1% of the total gallons in storage at the beginning of
2each January, plus the receipts of gallonage each January
3through June, minus the gallonage remaining in storage at the
4end of each June. On and after July 1, 2001, for each 6-month
5period July through December, net losses of fuel (for each
6category of fuel that is required to be reported on a return)
7as the result of evaporation or shrinkage due to temperature
8variations may not exceed 1% of the total gallons in storage at
9the beginning of each July, plus the receipts of gallonage each
10July through December, minus the gallonage remaining in storage
11at the end of each December. Any net loss reported that is in
12excess of this amount shall be subject to the tax imposed by
13Section 2a of this Law. For purposes of this Section, "net
14loss" means the number of gallons gained through temperature
15variations minus the number of gallons lost through temperature
16variations or evaporation for each of the respective 6-month
17periods.
18 The return shall be prescribed by the Department and shall
19be filed between the 1st and 20th days of each calendar month.
20The Department may, in its discretion, combine the returns
21filed under this Section, Section 5, and Section 5a of this
22Act. The return must be accompanied by appropriate
23computer-generated magnetic media supporting schedule data in
24the format required by the Department, unless, as provided by
25rule, the Department grants an exception upon petition of a
26taxpayer. If the return is filed timely, the seller shall take

HB4004- 311 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1a discount of 2% through June 30, 2003 and 1.75% thereafter
2which is allowed to reimburse the seller for the expenses
3incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
4collecting and remitting the tax and supplying data to the
5Department on request. The discount, however, shall be
6applicable only to the amount of payment which accompanies a

22may authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual
23basis, with the return for January, February and March of a

25for April, May and June of a given year being due by July 31st

10shall be credited against the final liability of the retailer's
11return for that month. Any outstanding credit, approved by the
12Department, arising from the retailer's overpayment of its
13final liability for any month may be applied to reduce the
14amount of any subsequent quarter monthly payment or credited
15against the final liability of the retailer's return for any
16subsequent month. If any quarter monthly payment is not paid at
17the time or in the amount required by this Section, the

26performance of the Department's functions and duties under this

HB4004- 329 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1Act. Such return shall contain such information as the
2Department may reasonably require.
3 Every manufacturer and importing distributor shall also
4file, with the Department, a bond in an amount not less than
5$1,000 and not to exceed $100,000 on a form to be approved by,
6and with a surety or sureties satisfactory to, the Department.
7Such bond shall be conditioned upon the manufacturer or
8importing distributor paying to the Department all monies
9becoming due from such manufacturer or importing distributor
10under this Article. The Department shall fix the penalty of
11such bond in each case, taking into consideration the amount of
12alcoholic liquor expected to be sold and used by such
13manufacturer or importing distributor, and the penalty fixed by
14the Department shall be sufficient, in the Department's
15opinion, to protect the State of Illinois against failure to
16pay any amount due under this Article, but the amount of the
17penalty fixed by the Department shall not exceed twice the
18amount of tax liability of a monthly return, nor shall the
19amount of such penalty be less than $1,000. The Department
20shall notify the Commission of the Department's approval or
21disapproval of any such manufacturer's or importing
22distributor's bond, or of the termination or cancellation of
23any such bond, or of the Department's direction to a
24manufacturer or importing distributor that he must file
25additional bond in order to comply with this Section. The
26Commission shall not issue a license to any applicant for a

HB4004- 330 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1manufacturer's or importing distributor's license unless the
2Commission has received a notification from the Department
3showing that such applicant has filed a satisfactory bond with
4the Department hereunder and that such bond has been approved
5by the Department. Failure by any licensed manufacturer or
6importing distributor to keep a satisfactory bond in effect
7with the Department or to furnish additional bond to the
8Department, when required hereunder by the Department to do so,
9shall be grounds for the revocation or suspension of such
10manufacturer's or importing distributor's license by the
11Commission. If a manufacturer or importing distributor fails to
12pay any amount due under this Article, his bond with the
13Department shall be deemed forfeited, and the Department may
14institute a suit in its own name on such bond.
15 After notice and opportunity for a hearing the State
16Commission may revoke or suspend the license of any
17manufacturer or importing distributor who fails to comply with
18the provisions of this Section. Notice of such hearing and the
19time and place thereof shall be in writing and shall contain a
20statement of the charges against the licensee. Such notice may
21be given by United States registered or certified mail with
22return receipt requested, addressed to the person concerned at
23his last known address and shall be given not less than 7 days
24prior to the date fixed for the hearing. An order revoking or
25suspending a license under the provisions of this Section may
26be reviewed in the manner provided in Section 7-10 of this Act.

HB4004- 331 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1No new license shall be granted to a person whose license has
2been revoked for a violation of this Section or, in case of
3suspension, shall such suspension be terminated until he has
4paid to the Department all taxes and penalties which he owes
5the State under the provisions of this Act.
6 Every manufacturer or importing distributor who has, as
7verified by the Department, continuously complied with the
8conditions of the bond under this Act for a period of 2 years
9shall be considered to be a prior continuous compliance
10taxpayer. In determining the consecutive period of time for
11qualification as a prior continuous compliance taxpayer, any
12consecutive period of time of qualifying compliance
13immediately prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act
14of 1987 shall be credited to any manufacturer or importing
15distributor.
16 A manufacturer or importing distributor that is a prior
17continuous compliance taxpayer under this Section and becomes a
18successor as the result of an acquisition, merger, or
19consolidation of a manufacturer or importing distributor shall
20be deemed to be a prior continuous compliance taxpayer with
21respect to the acquired, merged, or consolidated entity.
22 Every prior continuous compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
23from the bond requirements of this Act until the Department has
24determined the taxpayer to be delinquent in the filing of any
25return or deficient in the payment of any tax under this Act.
26Any taxpayer who fails to pay an admitted or established

HB4004- 332 -LRB100 11829 HLH 23189 b
1liability under this Act may also be required to post bond or
2other acceptable security with the Department guaranteeing the
3payment of such admitted or established liability.
4 The Department shall discharge any surety and shall release
5and return any bond or security deposit assigned, pledged or
6otherwise provided to it by a taxpayer under this Section

8continuous compliance taxpayer; or (2) such taxpayer has ceased
9to collect receipts on which he is required to remit tax to the
10Department, has filed a final tax return, and has paid to the
11Department an amount sufficient to discharge his remaining tax
12liability as determined by the Department under this Act.
