including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during
the second preceding calendar month by the Department, and not
including any amount which the Department determines is
necessary to offset any amounts which are payable to a
different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the

of tax only if the value of the items that qualify for the
reduced rate of tax exceeds the value of the items that do
not qualify for the reduced rate of tax.
(2) Coupons and discounts. An unreimbursed discount by
the seller reduces the sales price of the property so that
the discounted sales price determines whether the sales
price is within a sales tax holiday price threshold. A
coupon or other reduction in the sales price is treated as
a discount if the seller is not reimbursed for the coupon
or reduction amount by a third party.
(3) Splitting of items normally sold together.
Articles that are normally sold as a single unit must
continue to be sold in that manner. Such articles cannot
be priced separately and sold as individual items in order

sales price of each shoe is within a sales tax holiday
price threshold.

allows a customer to purchase an item at a certain price at
a later time because the particular item was out of stock.
Eligible property that customers purchase during the sales
tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period with the use
of a rain check will qualify for the reduced rate of tax
regardless of when the rain check was issued. Issuance of
a rain check during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax

HB4114 - 16 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
Holiday Period will not qualify eligible property for the
reduced rate of tax if the property is actually purchased
after the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday
Period.
(5) Exchanges. The procedure for an exchange in
regards to a sales tax holiday is as follows:
(A) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
property during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period, but later exchanges the item for a
similar eligible item, even if a different size,
different color, or other feature, no additional tax
is due even if the exchange is made after the sales tax
holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period.
(B) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
property during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period, but after the sales tax holiday period
Sales Tax Holiday Period has ended, the customer
returns the item and receives credit on the purchase
of a different item, the 6.25% general merchandise
sales tax rate is due on the sale of the newly
purchased item.
(C) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
property before the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period, but during the sales tax holiday
period Sales Tax Holiday Period the customer returns
the item and receives credit on the purchase of a

HB4114 - 17 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
different item of eligible property, the reduced rate
of tax is due on the sale of the new item if the new
item is purchased during the sales tax holiday period
Sales Tax Holiday Period.
(6) (Blank).
(7) Order date and back orders. For the purpose of a
sales tax holiday, eligible property qualifies for the
reduced rate of tax if: (i) the item is both delivered to
and paid for by the customer during the sales tax holiday
period Sales Tax Holiday Period or (ii) the customer
orders and pays for the item and the seller accepts the
order during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period for immediate shipment, even if delivery is
made after the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday
Period. The seller accepts an order when the seller has
taken action to fill the order for immediate shipment.
Actions to fill an order include placement of an "in date"
stamp on an order or assignment of an "order number" to an
order within the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period. An order is for immediate shipment when
the customer does not request delayed shipment. An order
is for immediate shipment notwithstanding that the
shipment may be delayed because of a backlog of orders or
because stock is currently unavailable to, or on back
order by, the seller.
(8) Returns. For a 60-day period immediately after the

HB4114 - 18 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period, if a
customer returns an item that would qualify for the
reduced rate of tax, credit for or refund of sales tax
shall be given only at the reduced rate unless the
customer provides a receipt or invoice that shows tax was
paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate, or the seller
has sufficient documentation to show that tax was paid at
the 6.25% general merchandise rate on the specific item.
This 60-day period is set solely for the purpose of
designating a time period during which the customer must
provide documentation that shows that the appropriate
sales tax rate was paid on returned merchandise. The
60-day period is not intended to change a seller's policy
on the time period during which the seller will accept
returns.
(b-5) As used in this Section, "sales tax holiday period"
means:
(1) from August 6, 2010 through August 15, 2010;

Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, the adoption of rules

HB4114 - 19 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
to implement the provisions of this Section shall be deemed an
emergency and necessary for the public interest, safety, and
welfare.

Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
either the selling price or the fair market value, if any, of
the tangible personal property. In all cases where property
functionally used or consumed is the same as the property that
was purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the selling
price of the property. In all cases where property
functionally used or consumed is a by-product or waste product
that has been refined, manufactured, or produced from property
purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the lower of
the fair market value, if any, of the specific property so used
in this State or on the selling price of the property purchased
at retail. For purposes of this Section "fair market value"
means the price at which property would change hands between a
willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any
compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge
of the relevant facts. The fair market value shall be
established by Illinois sales by the taxpayer of the same
property as that functionally used or consumed, or if there
are no such sales by the taxpayer, then comparable sales or

(35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
when he is required to file his return for the period during
which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5

HB4114 - 26 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. When
determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers
shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the
6.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday
items under Public Act 102-700 or this amendatory Act of the
103rd General Assembly this amendatory Act of the 102nd
General Assembly. The discount under this Section is not
allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel
that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. When determining the discount
allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount
of tax that would have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0%
rate imposed under Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of
the 102nd General Assembly. In the case of retailers who
report and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction basis,
as provided in this Section, such discount shall be taken with
each such tax remittance instead of when such retailer files
his periodic return. The discount allowed under this Section
is allowed only for returns that are filed in the manner
required by this Act. The Department may disallow the discount
for retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at
the time the return is filed, but only if the Department's
decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become

HB4114 - 27 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
final. A retailer need not remit that part of any tax collected
by him to the extent that he is required to remit and does
remit the tax imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
with respect to the sale of the same property.
Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
the selling price actually received during such tax return
period.
Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall
be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall
furnish such information as the Department may reasonably
require. The return shall include the gross receipts on food
for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, food
consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft drinks,
and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption)
which were received during the preceding calendar month,
quarter, or year, as appropriate, and upon which tax would

HB4114 - 28 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
have been due but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act
102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. The
return shall also include the amount of tax that would have
been due on food for human consumption that is to be consumed
off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic
beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult use
cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for
immediate consumption) but for the 0% rate imposed under
Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
Assembly.
On and after January 1, 2018, except for returns required
to be filed prior to January 1, 2023 for motor vehicles,
watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be
registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,
all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
filed electronically. On and after January 1, 2023, with
respect to retailers whose annual gross receipts average
$20,000 or more, all returns required to be filed pursuant to
this Act, including, but not limited to, returns for motor
vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
to be registered with an agency of this State, shall be filed
electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do not
have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing
electronically may petition the Department to waive the
electronic filing requirement.

HB4114 - 29 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
The Department may require returns to be filed on a
quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
1. The name of the seller;
2. The address of the principal place of business from
which he engages in the business of selling tangible
personal property at retail in this State;
3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
him during the preceding calendar month from sales of
tangible personal property by him during such preceding
calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
Act;
5. The amount of tax due;
5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
may require.
Each retailer required or authorized to collect the tax
imposed by this Act on aviation fuel sold at retail in this
State during the preceding calendar month shall, instead of
reporting and paying tax on aviation fuel as otherwise

HB4114 - 30 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
required by this Section, report and pay such tax on a separate
aviation fuel tax return. The requirements related to the
return shall be as otherwise provided in this Section.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the
contrary, retailers collecting tax on aviation fuel shall file
all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all aviation fuel
tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form
required by the Department. For purposes of this Section,
"aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation gasoline.
If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
contrary, retailers subject to tax on cannabis shall file all
cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments
by electronic means in the manner and form required by the
Department.
Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
make all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000

HB4114 - 31 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000 or
more shall make all payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "annual tax
liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
immediately preceding calendar year. The term "average monthly
tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
immediately preceding calendar year divided by 12. Beginning
on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax liability in the
amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the
Department of Revenue Law shall make all payments required by
rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
with the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds

HB4114 - 32 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
requirements of this Section.
Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the
Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4
complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
Department each month by the 20th day of the month next
following the month during which such tax liability is
incurred and shall make payments to the Department on or
before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
which such liability is incurred. On and after October 1,
2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was
$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began

HB4114 - 33 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and
prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the

HB4114 - 34 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
Department for change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such

HB4114 - 35 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
1.25% in Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd
General Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not occurred.
Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this
paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in this amendatory
Act of the 103rd General Assembly on sales tax holiday items
had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after
July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year"
shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public
Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly
on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. For quarter
monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2024 and through June
30, 2025, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same

HB4114 - 36 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as
if the rate reduction to 1.25% in this amendatory Act of the
103rd General Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not
occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined
under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public
Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly
on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft
drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate
consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments
due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through
June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as
if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 this
amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly had not occurred.
If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer
shall be liable for penalties and interest on the difference
between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as
the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to
the Department in excess of the minimum payments previously
due as provided in this Section. The Department shall make
reasonable rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly
payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers

HB4114 - 37 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the

HB4114 - 38 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
with the return for January, February, and March of a given
year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
such year; with the return for July, August and September of a
given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
return for October, November and December of a given year
being due by January 20 of the following year.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
monthly returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,

HB4114 - 39 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
business.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
for each such item of tangible personal property which the
retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means
a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.

HB4114 - 40 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
connection with such business, sells any such item to a
retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
manner and form as required by the Department.
The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for

HB4114 - 41 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
Department may reasonably require.
The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and

HB4114 - 42 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
such other information as the Department may reasonably
require.
Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
that this procedure will expedite the processing of
applications for title or registration.
With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such

HB4114 - 43 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
tangible personal property.
No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
mandate of this paragraph.
If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
the information required by the transaction reporting return
and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted

HB4114 - 44 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax
so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax
which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
purchaser.
Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
return.
If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the

HB4114 - 45 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
Acts on the one form.
Where the retailer has more than one business registered
with the Department under separate registration under this
Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
single return covering all such registered businesses, but
shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net
revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax
imposed under this Act.

price of tangible personal property, other than (i) tangible
personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at
retail from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an
agency of this State's government and (ii) aviation fuel sold
on or after December 1, 2019. This exception for aviation fuel
only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each
month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program
Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month
from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of aviation
fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be
required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation
fuel under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the
Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund. The Department shall only
pay moneys into the State Aviation Program Fund and the
Aviation Fuels Sales Tax Refund Fund under this Act for so long
as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the
net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol. If, in any
month, the tax on sales tax holiday items, as defined in
Section 3-6, is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the
Department shall pay 100% of the net revenue realized for that

HB4114 - 47 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of sales tax
holiday items into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue
realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
on the selling price of tangible personal property which is
purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and which
is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
government.
Beginning October 1, 2009, each month the Department shall
pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to
an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the
net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of
candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had
been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that
are now taxed at 6.25%.
Beginning July 1, 2011, each month the Department shall
pay into the Clean Air Act Permit Fund 80% of the net revenue
realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
on the selling price of sorbents used in Illinois in the
process of sorbent injection as used to comply with the
Environmental Protection Act or the federal Clean Air Act, but
the total payment into the Clean Air Act Permit Fund under this
Act and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed
$2,000,000 in any fiscal year.
Beginning July 1, 2013, each month the Department shall

HB4114 - 48 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b

collected under this Act, the Service Use Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act an
amount equal to the average monthly deficit in the Underground
Storage Tank Fund during the prior year, as certified annually
by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, but the total
payment into the Underground Storage Tank Fund under this Act,
the Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and
the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed $18,000,000
in any State fiscal year. As used in this paragraph, the
"average monthly deficit" shall be equal to the difference
between the average monthly claims for payment by the fund and
the average monthly revenues deposited into the fund,
excluding payments made pursuant to this paragraph.
Beginning July 1, 2015, of the remainder of the moneys
received by the Department under this Act, the Service Use Tax
Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, each month the Department shall deposit
$500,000 into the State Crime Laboratory Fund.
Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the

year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required

HB4114 - 49 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to Section 3
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax
Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the
Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called
the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act
Amount", and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be
less than the Annual Specified Amount (as defined in Section 3
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), an amount equal to the
difference shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois
Fund from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to
the Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the last
business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount
required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account
in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the amount
transferred during such month to the Build Illinois Fund from
the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less
than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to
the difference shall be immediately paid into the Build
Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the Department
pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided, that in no
event shall the payments required under the preceding proviso
result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund
pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of
the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual

HB4114 - 50 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b

Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking into account any
future investment income, to fully provide, in accordance with
such indenture, for the defeasance of or the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
secured by such indenture and on any Bonds expected to be
issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable with respect
thereto, all as certified by the Director of the Bureau of the
Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget). If on
the last business day of any month in which Bonds are
outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the
aggregate of the moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond
Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less
than the amount required to be transferred in such month from
the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois
Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build
Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)

HB4114 - 51 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
of the preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount
otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b)
of the preceding sentence. The moneys received by the
Department pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited
into the Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim
and charge set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond

otherwise specified in this Section, items used by a
student in a course of study. The purchase of school

(2) Coupons and discounts. An unreimbursed discount by

HB4114 - 65 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
the seller reduces the sales price of the property so that
the discounted sales price determines whether the sales

coupon or other reduction in the sales price is treated as
a discount if the seller is not reimbursed for the coupon
or reduction amount by a third party.
(3) Splitting of items normally sold together.
Articles that are normally sold as a single unit must
continue to be sold in that manner. Such articles cannot
be priced separately and sold as individual items in order
to obtain the reduced rate of tax. For example, a pair of
shoes cannot have each shoe sold separately so that the
sales price of each shoe is within a sales tax holiday
price threshold.
(4) Rain checks. A rain check is a procedure that
allows a customer to purchase an item at a certain price at
a later time because the particular item was out of stock.
Eligible property that customers purchase during the sales
tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period with the use
of a rain check will qualify for the reduced rate of tax
regardless of when the rain check was issued. Issuance of
a rain check during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period will not qualify eligible property for the
reduced rate of tax if the property is actually purchased
after the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday
Period.

HB4114 - 66 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
(5) Exchanges. The procedure for an exchange in
regards to a sales tax holiday is as follows:
(A) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
property during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period, but later exchanges the item for a
similar eligible item, even if a different size,
different color, or other feature, no additional tax
is due even if the exchange is made after the sales tax
holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period.
(B) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
property during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period, but after the sales tax holiday period
Sales Tax Holiday Period has ended, the customer
returns the item and receives credit on the purchase
of a different item, the 6.25% general merchandise
sales tax rate is due on the sale of the newly
purchased item.
(C) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
property before the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period, but during the sales tax holiday
period Sales Tax Holiday Period the customer returns
the item and receives credit on the purchase of a
different item of eligible property, the reduced rate
of tax is due on the sale of the new item if the new
item is purchased during the sales tax holiday period
Sales Tax Holiday Period.

HB4114 - 67 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
(6) (Blank).
(7) Order date and back orders. For the purpose of a
sales tax holiday, eligible property qualifies for the
reduced rate of tax if: (i) the item is both delivered to
and paid for by the customer during the sales tax holiday
period Sales Tax Holiday Period or (ii) the customer
orders and pays for the item and the seller accepts the
order during the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period for immediate shipment, even if delivery is
made after the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday
Period. The seller accepts an order when the seller has
taken action to fill the order for immediate shipment.
Actions to fill an order include placement of an "in date"
stamp on an order or assignment of an "order number" to an
order within the sales tax holiday period Sales Tax
Holiday Period. An order is for immediate shipment when
the customer does not request delayed shipment. An order
is for immediate shipment notwithstanding that the
shipment may be delayed because of a backlog of orders or
because stock is currently unavailable to, or on back
order by, the seller.
(8) Returns. For a 60-day period immediately after the
sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period, if a
customer returns an item that would qualify for the
reduced rate of tax, credit for or refund of sales tax
shall be given only at the reduced rate unless the

HB4114 - 68 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
customer provides a receipt or invoice that shows tax was
paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate, or the seller
has sufficient documentation to show that tax was paid at
the 6.25% general merchandise rate on the specific item.
This 60-day period is set solely for the purpose of
designating a time period during which the customer must
provide documentation that shows that the appropriate
sales tax rate was paid on returned merchandise. The
60-day period is not intended to change a seller's policy
on the time period during which the seller will accept
returns.
(b-5) As used in this Section, "sales tax holiday period"
means:
(1) from August 6, 2010 through August 15, 2010;
(2) from August 5, 2022 through August 14, 2022; and
(3) from August 2, 2024 through August 11, 2024.
(c) The Department may implement the provisions of this
Section through the use of emergency rules, along with
permanent rules filed concurrently with such emergency rules,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 5-45 of the
Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. For purposes of the
Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, the adoption of rules
to implement the provisions of this Section shall be deemed an
emergency and necessary for the public interest, safety, and
welfare.

preceding month and such other information as is reasonably
required by the Department. The Department may adopt rules to
require that this statement be filed in an electronic or
telephonic format. Such rules may provide for exceptions from
the filing requirements of this paragraph. For the purposes of
this paragraph, the term "alcoholic liquor" shall have the
meaning prescribed in the Liquor Control Act of 1934.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, every distributor, importing
distributor, and manufacturer of alcoholic liquor as defined
in the Liquor Control Act of 1934, shall file a statement with
the Department of Revenue, no later than the 10th day of the
month for the preceding month during which transactions
occurred, by electronic means, showing the total amount of
gross receipts from the sale of alcoholic liquor sold or
distributed during the preceding month to purchasers;
identifying the purchaser to whom it was sold or distributed;
the purchaser's tax registration number; and such other

HB4114 - 81 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
information reasonably required by the Department. A
distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer of
alcoholic liquor must personally deliver, mail, or provide by
electronic means to each retailer listed on the monthly
statement a report containing a cumulative total of that
distributor's, importing distributor's, or manufacturer's
total sales of alcoholic liquor to that retailer no later than
the 10th day of the month for the preceding month during which
the transaction occurred. The distributor, importing
distributor, or manufacturer shall notify the retailer as to
the method by which the distributor, importing distributor, or
manufacturer will provide the sales information. If the
retailer is unable to receive the sales information by
electronic means, the distributor, importing distributor, or
manufacturer shall furnish the sales information by personal
delivery or by mail. For purposes of this paragraph, the term
"electronic means" includes, but is not limited to, the use of
a secure Internet website, e-mail, or facsimile.
If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable or
creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less
than 50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents or
more.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
contrary, retailers subject to tax on cannabis shall file all
cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments
by electronic means in the manner and form required by the

HB4114 - 82 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
Department.
Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
make all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1,
2000, a taxpayer who has an annual tax liability of $200,000 or
more shall make all payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "annual tax
liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
immediately preceding calendar year. The term "average monthly
tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
immediately preceding calendar year divided by 12. Beginning
on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax liability in the
amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the
Department of Revenue Law shall make all payments required by
rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.

HB4114 - 83 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
with the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
requirements of this Section.
Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any
return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest
whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a
dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest
whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is
less than 50 cents.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,

HB4114 - 84 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
with the return for January, February and March of a given year
being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
with the return for July, August and September of a given year
being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
October, November and December of a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
monthly returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
business.
Where the same person has more than one business
registered with the Department under separate registrations
under this Act, such person may not file each return that is

HB4114 - 85 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
due as a single return covering all such registered
businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
registered business.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
for each such item of tangible personal property which the
retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii)
a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
trailers transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor
vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as a qualifying
rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this Act, then that
seller may report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft,
motor vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means
a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.

HB4114 - 86 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
connection with such business, sells any such item to a
retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
manner and form as required by the Department.
Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
be required to file returns on an annual basis.
The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with

HB4114 - 87 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
Department may reasonably require.
The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for

HB4114 - 88 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
such other information as the Department may reasonably
require.
Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
titling or registration is required) if the Department and
such agency or State officer determine that this procedure
will expedite the processing of applications for title or
registration.
With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the

HB4114 - 89 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
personal property that is involved (if titling or registration
is required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
registration to such tangible personal property.
No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
mandate of this paragraph.
If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has
not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the
fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
the information required by the transaction reporting return
and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to

HB4114 - 90 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
with respect to such receipts.
Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
accredited agent of such corporation.
Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
of the limited liability company.
Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing

HB4114 - 91 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
data to the Department on request. On and after January 1,
2021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling
the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return
under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the
time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer
using a certified service provider to file a return on its
behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for
Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount. When
determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers
shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the
1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700
this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. When
determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers
shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the
6.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday
items under Public Act 102-700 or this amendatory Act of the
103rd General Assembly this amendatory Act of the 102nd
General Assembly. The discount under this Section is not

HB4114 - 92 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel
that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made pursuant to
Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on which
such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
registration has become final.
Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
$10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.

HB4114 - 93 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average
monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act, the
Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service
Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to
be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment

HB4114 - 94 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as

HB4114 - 95 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement
of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000
or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status

HB4114 - 96 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
0% in Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd
General Assembly on food for human consumption that is to be
consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult
use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for
immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly
payments due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and
through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for
the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be
determined as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700
this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly had not
occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined
under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in
Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. Quarter
monthly payment status shall be determined under this
paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in this amendatory
Act of the 103rd General Assembly on sales tax holiday items
had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after
July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year"
shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public
Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly

HB4114 - 97 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. For quarter
monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2024 and through June
30, 2025, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as
if the rate reduction to 1.25% in this amendatory Act of the
103rd General Assembly on sales tax holiday items had not
occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
monthly basis.
The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the

HB4114 - 98 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
of the preceding calendar year. If the month during which such
tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987,
each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the
taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less.
If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as

HB4114 - 99 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
excess of the minimum payments previously due.
The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the
preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
last day of the month during which the liability is incurred.
Each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
liability to the Department as computed for each calendar

HB4114 - 100 - LRB103 33313 HLH 63123 b
quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit

credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax

payments required under the preceding proviso result in
aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater of
(i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount for
such fiscal year. The amounts payable into the Build Illinois
Fund under clause (b) of the first sentence in this paragraph

to the Build Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this
sentence shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to
clause (b) of the first sentence of this paragraph and shall
reduce the amount otherwise payable for such fiscal year
pursuant to that clause (b). The moneys received by the
Department pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited

for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this

collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
overpayment of liability.

the dates and location of the event and other reasonable
information that the Department may require. The report must
be filed not later than the 20th day of the month next

flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
business of selling tangible personal property at retail at
the exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant
risk of loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall
notify concessionaires and other sellers affected by the
imposition of this requirement. In the absence of notification
by the Department, the concessionaires and other sellers shall
file their returns as otherwise required in this Section.
