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. 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, but, beginning with
returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the discount allowed
under this Section and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
including any local tax administered by the Department and

HB4636 Enrolled - 21 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
reported on the same transaction return, shall not exceed
$1,000 per month for all transaction returns filed during the
month. 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. 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 22 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
have been due but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act
102-700. 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.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 23 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 24 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 25 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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" 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 26 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 27 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 28 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 29 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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 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 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred.
Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this

HB4636 Enrolled - 30 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700
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 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 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,

HB4636 Enrolled - 31 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 vendor's discount shall be reduced,
if necessary, to reflect the difference between the 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 32 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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,
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 33 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 34 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 35 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 36 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 37 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 vendor's 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.
On and after January 1, 2025, with respect to the lease of
trailers, other than semitrailers as defined in Section 1-187
of the Illinois Vehicle Code, that are required to be
registered with an agency of this State and that are subject to

HB4636 Enrolled - 38 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
the tax on lease receipts under this Act, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act to the contrary, for the purpose of
reporting and paying tax under this Act on those lease
receipts, lessors shall file returns in addition to and
separate from the transaction reporting return. Lessors shall
file those lease returns and make payment to the Department by
electronic means on or before the 20th day of each month
following the month, quarter, or year, as applicable, in which
lease receipts were received. All lease receipts received by
the lessor from the lease of those trailers during the same
reporting period shall be reported and tax shall be paid on a
single return form to be prescribed by the Department.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 39 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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.

HB4636 Enrolled - 40 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% 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 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, 20% of the net revenue realized for
the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling
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

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

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

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)
of the preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount
otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b)

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
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.
Beginning with returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the
discount allowed in this Section, the Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use
Tax Act, including any local tax administered by the
Department and reported on the same return, shall not exceed
$1,000 per month in the aggregate for returns other than
transaction returns filed during the month. 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. 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 56 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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. 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, but, beginning with
returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the discount allowed
under this Section and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
including any local tax administered by the Department and
reported on the same transaction return, shall not exceed
$1,000 per month for all transaction returns filed during the
month. 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. 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 57 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
In the case of leases, except as otherwise provided in
this Act, the lessor, in collecting the tax, 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
have been due but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act
102-700. The return shall also include the amount of tax that
would have been due on food for human consumption that is to be

HB4636 Enrolled - 58 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
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.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 59 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 60 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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

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

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

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

HB4636 Enrolled - 62 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 63 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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.

HB4636 Enrolled - 64 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 65 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 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 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
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 had not
occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at

HB4636 Enrolled - 66 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 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,

HB4636 Enrolled - 67 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 vendor's discount shall be reduced,
if necessary, to reflect the difference between the 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 68 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 69 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
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.

HB4636 Enrolled - 70 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 71 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 72 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 73 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 vendor's 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.
On and after January 1, 2025, with respect to the lease of
trailers, other than semitrailers as defined in Section 1-187
of the Illinois Vehicle Code, that are required to be
registered with an agency of this State and that are subject to
the tax on lease receipts under this Act, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act to the contrary, for the purpose of
reporting and paying tax under this Act on those lease
receipts, lessors shall file returns in addition to and
separate from the transaction reporting return. Lessors shall
file those lease returns and make payment to the Department by
electronic means on or before the 20th day of each month
following the month, quarter, or year, as applicable, in which
lease receipts were received. All lease receipts received by
the lessor from the lease of those trailers during the same
reporting period shall be reported and tax shall be paid on a

HB4636 Enrolled - 74 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
single return form to be prescribed by the Department.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 75 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 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.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the

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

Department shall pay 100% of the net revenue realized for that

HB4636 Enrolled - 77 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 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.

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

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%.

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

HB4636 Enrolled - 78 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
pay into the Underground Storage Tank Fund from the proceeds
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'

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

may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required

HB4636 Enrolled - 79 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 80 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
Specified Amount for such fiscal year; and, further provided,
that the amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under

Sec. 2-27. Prepaid telephone calling arrangements.
"Prepaid telephone calling arrangements" mean the right to
exclusively purchase telephone or telecommunications services
that must be paid for in advance and enable the origination of
one or more intrastate, interstate, or international telephone
calls or other telecommunications using an access number, an
authorization code, or both, whether manually or
electronically dialed, for which payment to a retailer must be

HB4636 Enrolled - 91 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
made in advance, provided that, unless recharged, no further
service is provided once that prepaid amount of service has
been consumed, and provided further that, on and after January
1, 2025, the telephone or telecommunications services included
in such arrangement are obtained through the purchase of a
preloaded phone, calling card, or other item of tangible
personal property. Prepaid telephone calling arrangements
include the recharge of a prepaid calling arrangement if and
only if, on and after January 1, 2025, the additional
telephone or telecommunications services included in the
recharge are obtained through the purchase of a preloaded
phone, calling card, or other item of tangible personal
property. For purposes of this Section, "recharge" means the
purchase of additional prepaid telephone or telecommunications
services whether or not the purchaser acquires a different
access number or authorization code. For purposes of this
Section, "telecommunications" means that term as defined in
Section 2 of the Telecommunications Excise Tax Act. "Prepaid
telephone calling arrangement" does not include an arrangement
whereby the service provider reflects the amount of the
purchase as a credit on an account for a customer under an
existing subscription plan, nor, on and after January 1, 2025,
does it include a recharge that is not obtained through the
purchase of a preloaded phone, calling card, or other item of
tangible personal property.

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
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

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.

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.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 101 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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,
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 102 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 103 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
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,

HB4636 Enrolled - 104 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 105 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 106 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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.

HB4636 Enrolled - 107 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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 vendor's 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.

HB4636 Enrolled - 108 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
On and after January 1, 2025, with respect to the lease of
trailers, other than semitrailers as defined in Section 1-187
of the Illinois Vehicle Code, that are required to be
registered with an agency of this State and that are subject to
the tax on lease receipts under this Act, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act to the contrary, for the purpose of
reporting and paying tax under this Act on those lease
receipts, lessors shall file returns in addition to and
separate from the transaction reporting return. Lessors shall
file those lease returns and make payment to the Department by
electronic means on or before the 20th day of each month
following the month, quarter, or year, as applicable, in which
lease receipts were received. All lease receipts received by
the lessor from the lease of those trailers during the same
reporting period shall be reported and tax shall be paid on a
single return form to be prescribed by the Department.
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,

HB4636 Enrolled - 109 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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.
Beginning with returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the
vendor's discount allowed in this Section, the Service
Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax

HB4636 Enrolled - 110 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
Act, including any local tax administered by the Department
and reported on the same return, shall not exceed $1,000 per
month in the aggregate for returns other than transaction
returns filed during the month. 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. 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. 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. Any prepayment made pursuant to
Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on which
such 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, but, beginning with returns due on or
after January 1, 2025, the vendor's discount allowed under
this Section and the Use Tax Act, including any local tax
administered by the Department and reported on the same
transaction return, shall not exceed $1,000 per month for all
transaction returns filed during the month. The discount
allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that

HB4636 Enrolled - 111 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 112 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 113 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 114 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 115 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be
determined as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700
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 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 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 116 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 117 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 118 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 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
memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use 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. If no such request is made, the
taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
the Use 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 119 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's %
vendor's discount shall be reduced, if necessary, to reflect
the difference between the credit taken and that actually due,
and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
on such difference.
If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
to the Department under this Act for the month for which the
taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the Local Government Tax 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.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a special
fund in the State treasury which is hereby created, 4% of the
net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
general rate other than 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.
Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the

The Department may, upon separate written notice to a

less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last federal
income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
reported in the federal income tax return do not agree with the
gross receipts reported to the Department of Revenue for the
same period, the retailer shall attach to his annual return a
schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
reasons for the difference. The retailer's annual return to
the Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by
the retailer during the year covered by such return, opening
and closing inventories of such goods for such year, costs of
goods used from stock or taken from stock and given away by the
retailer during such year, payroll information of the
retailer's business during such year and any additional
reasonable information which the Department deems would be

HB4636 Enrolled - 135 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly,
or annual returns filed by such retailer as provided for in
this Section.
If the annual information return required by this Section
is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable
as follows:
(i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from
such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
covered by the annual return for each month or fraction of
a month until such return is filed as required, the
penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner as
any other penalty provided for in this Act.
(ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner, or highest
ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
willfully signs the annual return containing false or
inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
return may be liable for perjury.
The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an
annual information return do not apply to a retailer who is not

HB4636 Enrolled - 136 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
required to file an income tax return with the United States
Government.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon
certification of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller
shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
overpayment of liability.
For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to
such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make
written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
Any person who promotes, organizes, or provides retail
selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers at
the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
local fairs, art shows, flea markets, and similar exhibitions
or events, including any transient merchant as defined by
Section 2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required to

HB4636 Enrolled - 137 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
file a report with the Department providing the name of the
merchant's business, the name of the person or persons engaged
in merchant's business, the permanent address and Illinois
Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the merchant,
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
following the month during which the event with retail sales
was held. Any person who fails to file a report required by
this Section commits a business offense and is subject to a
fine not to exceed $250.
Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible
personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
of seller at the Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art shows,
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 138 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.

paragraph may be used by that retailer to satisfy Retailers'
Occupation Tax liability (but not in satisfaction of penalty

retailers must retain in their books and records a
certification from the producer of the aviation fuel that the
aviation fuel sold by the retailer and for which a sustainable
aviation fuel purchase credit was earned meets the definition

file a statement with the Department of Revenue, in a format
and at a time prescribed by the Department, showing the total
amount paid for alcoholic liquor purchased during the

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

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.

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

HB4636 Enrolled - 147 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
immediately preceding calendar year divided by 12. Beginning

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

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,
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 149 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 150 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 151 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 152 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 153 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 154 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 vendor's 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.
On and after January 1, 2025, with respect to the lease of
trailers, other than semitrailers as defined in Section 1-187
of the Illinois Vehicle Code, that are required to be
registered with an agency of this State and that are subject to
the tax on lease receipts under this Act, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act to the contrary, for the purpose of
reporting and paying tax under this Act on those lease
receipts, lessors shall file returns in addition to and
separate from the transaction reporting return. Lessors shall
file those lease returns and make payment to the Department by
electronic means on or before the 20th day of each month

HB4636 Enrolled - 155 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
following the month, quarter, or year, as applicable, in which
lease receipts were received. All lease receipts received by
the lessor from the lease of those trailers during the same
reporting period shall be reported and tax shall be paid on a
single return form to be prescribed by the Department.
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
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,

HB4636 Enrolled - 156 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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.
Beginning with returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the
vendor's discount allowed in this Section, the Service
Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
Act, including any local tax administered by the Department
and reported on the same return, shall not exceed $1,000 per
month in the aggregate for returns other than transaction
returns filed during the month. 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. 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. The discount under this Section is not

HB4636 Enrolled - 157 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 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 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, but, beginning with returns due on or
after January 1, 2025, the vendor's discount allowed under
this Section and the Use Tax Act, including any local tax
administered by the Department and reported on the same
transaction return, shall not exceed $1,000 per month for all
transaction returns filed during the month. 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

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

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

HB4636 Enrolled - 159 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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

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

HB4636 Enrolled - 160 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 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

HB4636 Enrolled - 161 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
0% in Public Act 102-700 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
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 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 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. If any
such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the

HB4636 Enrolled - 162 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 163 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 164 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
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

HB4636 Enrolled - 165 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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
memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use 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. If no such request is made, the
taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
the Use 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 determined that all or any part of the credit
taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's %
vendor's discount shall be reduced, if necessary, to reflect
the difference between the credit taken and that actually due,
and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
on such difference.
If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
to the Department under this Act for the month for which the
taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

the meaning given to that term in Section 1.1 of the Motor Fuel
Tax Law, and "gasohol" has the meaning given to that term in
Section 3-40 of the Use Tax Act.
Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the State
treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account and
used only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as part of
the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
information return for the tax year specified in the notice.

HB4636 Enrolled - 181 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last federal
income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
reported in the federal income tax return do not agree with the
gross receipts reported to the Department of Revenue for the
same period, the retailer shall attach to his annual return a
schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
reasons for the difference. The retailer's annual return to
the Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by
the retailer during the year covered by such return, opening
and closing inventories of such goods for such year, costs of
goods used from stock or taken from stock and given away by the
retailer during such year, payroll information of the
retailer's business during such year and any additional
reasonable information which the Department deems would be
helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly,
or annual returns filed by such retailer as provided for in
this Section.
If the annual information return required by this Section
is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable
as follows:
(i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from
such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
covered by the annual return for each month or fraction of
a month until such return is filed as required, the

HB4636 Enrolled - 182 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner as
any other penalty provided for in this Act.
(ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner, or highest
ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
willfully signs the annual return containing false or
inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
return may be liable for perjury.
The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an
annual information return do not apply to a retailer who is not
required to file an income tax return with the United States
Government.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon
certification of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller
shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount

HB4636 Enrolled - 183 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
overpayment of liability.
For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to
such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make
written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
Any person who promotes, organizes, or provides retail
selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers at
the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
local fairs, art shows, flea markets, and similar exhibitions
or events, including any transient merchant as defined by
Section 2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required to
file a report with the Department providing the name of the
merchant's business, the name of the person or persons engaged
in merchant's business, the permanent address and Illinois
Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the merchant,
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
following the month during which the event with retail sales
was held. Any person who fails to file a report required by
this Section commits a business offense and is subject to a
fine not to exceed $250.

HB4636 Enrolled - 184 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible
personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
of seller at the Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art shows,
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.

Section 45. The Tobacco Products Tax Act of 1995 is
amended by changing Section 10-20 as follows:
(35 ILCS 143/10-20)
Sec. 10-20. Distributor's licenses. It shall be unlawful
for any person to engage in business as a distributor of
tobacco products within the meaning of this Act without first
having obtained a license to do so from the Department.
Application for that license shall be made to the Department
in a form prescribed and furnished by the Department. Each
applicant for a license shall furnish to the Department on a
form, signed and verified by the applicant, the following
information:
(1) The name of the applicant.
(2) The address of the location at which the applicant
proposes to engage in business as a distributor of tobacco
products.
(3) Other information the Department may reasonably
require.
Each distributor, except for a distributor who is applying
for a distributor's license under this Act for the first time
or a distributor who, in the preceding year, had less than
$50,000 of tax liability, shall also file with the Department
a bond in an amount not to exceed (i) 3 times the amount of the

HB4636 Enrolled - 186 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
distributor's average monthly tax liability or (ii) $50,000,
whichever amount is lower, on a form to be approved by the
Department. The Department shall fix the amount of the bond
for each applicant, taking into consideration the amount of
money expected to become due from the applicant under this
Act. The amount of bond required by the Department shall be an
amount that, in its opinion, will protect the State of
Illinois against failure to pay the amount that may become due
from the applicant under this Act. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section, the bond, a reissue, or a substitute
shall be kept in full force and effect during the entire period
covered by the license. A separate application for license
shall be made, and bond filed, for each place of business at
which a person who is required to procure a distributor's
license proposes to engage in business as a distributor under
this Act.
The Department, upon receipt of an application and bond,
if required, in proper form, shall issue to the applicant a
license, in a form prescribed by the Department, which shall
permit the applicant to whom it is issued to engage in business
as a distributor at the place shown on his or her application.
The license shall be issued by the Department without charge
or cost to the applicant. No license issued under this Act is
transferable or assignable. The license shall be conspicuously
displayed in the place of business conducted by the licensee
under the license.

HB4636 Enrolled - 187 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
Licenses issued by the Department under this Act shall be
valid for a period not to exceed one year after issuance unless
sooner revoked, canceled, or suspended as provided in this
Act.
No license shall be issued to any person who is in default
to the State of Illinois for moneys due under this Act or any
other tax Act administered by the Department.
The Department shall discharge any surety and shall
release and return any bond provided to it by a taxpayer under
this Section within 90 days after:
(1) the taxpayer becomes a prior continuous compliance
taxpayer; or
(2) the taxpayer has ceased to collect receipts on
which the taxpayer is required to remit the tax under this
Act to the Department, has filed a final tax return, and
has paid to the Department an amount sufficient to
discharge his remaining tax liability as determined by the
Department under this Act.
For the purposes of item (2), the Department shall make a
final determination of the taxpayer's outstanding tax
liability as expeditiously as possible after the taxpayer's
final tax return under this Act has been filed. If the
Department will be unable to make such a final determination
within 45 days after receiving the taxpayer's final tax
return, then the Department shall notify the taxpayer within
that 45-day period stating the reasons why it is unable to make

HB4636 Enrolled - 188 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
the final determination within that 45-day period.
The Department may, in its discretion, upon application,
authorize the payment of the tax imposed under Section 10-10
by any distributor or manufacturer not otherwise subject to
the tax imposed under this Act who, to the satisfaction of the
Department, furnishes adequate security to ensure payment of
the tax. The distributor or manufacturer shall be issued,
without charge, a license to remit the tax. When so
authorized, it shall be the duty of the distributor or
manufacturer to remit the tax imposed upon the wholesale price
of tobacco products sold or otherwise disposed of to retailers
or consumers located in this State, in the same manner and
subject to the same requirements as any other distributor or
manufacturer licensed under this Act.
The Department may revoke, suspend, or cancel the license
of a distributor of roll-your-own tobacco (as that term is
used in Section 10 of the Tobacco Product Manufacturers'
Escrow Act) under this Act if the tobacco product
manufacturer, as defined in Section 10 of the Tobacco Product
Manufacturers' Escrow Act, that made or sold the roll-your-own
tobacco has failed to become a participating manufacturer, as
defined in subdivision (a)(1) of Section 15 of the Tobacco
Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act, or has failed to create a
qualified escrow fund for any roll-your-own tobacco
manufactured by the tobacco product manufacturer and sold in
this State or otherwise failed to bring itself into compliance

HB4636 Enrolled - 189 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
with subdivision (a)(2) of Section 15 of the Tobacco Product
Manufacturers' Escrow Act.
Any applicant applying for a distributor's license after
the applicant's distributor's license has been revoked by the
Department shall also file a bond with the Department in an
amount equal to 3 times the amount of the applicant's average
monthly tax liability under this Act, as that average monthly
tax liability was calculated immediately prior to the
revocation of the applicant's distributor's license.
Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Department
under this Section may, within 20 days after notice of that
decision, protest and request a hearing, whereupon the
Department must give notice to that person of the time and
place fixed for the hearing and must hold a hearing in
conformity with the provisions of this Act and then issue its
final administrative decision in the matter to that person. In
the absence of such a protest within 20 days, the Department's
decision becomes final without any further determination being
made or notice given.

(Source: P.A. 103-781, eff. 8-5-24.)
(65 ILCS 5/8-11-1.3) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-1.3)
(Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 103-592)
Sec. 8-11-1.3. Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home
rule municipality may impose, by ordinance or resolution
adopted in the manner described in Section 8-11-1.1, a tax
upon all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
personal property, other than on an item of tangible personal
property which is titled and registered by an agency of this
State's Government, at retail in the municipality. If imposed,
the tax shall be imposed on the gross receipts from such sales
made in the course of such business. The proceeds of the tax
may be used for expenditure on public infrastructure or for
property tax relief or both, as defined in Section 8-11-1.2 if
approved by referendum as provided in Section 8-11-1.1, of the

HB4636 Enrolled - 194 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
gross receipts from such sales made in the course of such
business. If the tax is approved by referendum on or after July
14, 2010 (the effective date of Public Act 96-1057) and before
August 5, 2024 (the effective date of Public Act 103-781), the
corporate authorities of the a non-home rule municipality may,
until January 1, 2031 July 1, 2030, use the proceeds of the tax
for expenditure on municipal operations, in addition to or in
lieu of any expenditure on public infrastructure or for
property tax relief. If the tax is approved by an ordinance or
resolution adopted on or after August 5, 2024 (the effective
date of Public Act 103-781), the corporate authorities of the
non-home rule municipality may, until January 1, 2031, use the
proceeds of the tax for expenditure on municipal operations,
in addition to or in lieu of any expenditure on public
infrastructure or for property tax relief. The tax imposed may
not be more than 1% and may be imposed only in 1/4% increments.
The tax may not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed
at the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at
the 0% rate imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd
General Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax is not
imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
expended for airport-related purposes. If a municipality does
not have an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates
aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from
the tax. Each municipality must comply with the certification
requirements for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22

HB4636 Enrolled - 195 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this
Section, "airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed
in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion
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 municipality. The tax imposed by a municipality
pursuant to this Section and all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
of registration which is issued by the Department to a
retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit
such retailer to engage in a business which is taxable under
any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section
without registering separately with the Department under such
ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
provided, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda,
arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,

HB4636 Enrolled - 196 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j,
2 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other
than the State rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the
disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on
aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c,
5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and
Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as fully as
if those provisions were set forth herein.
No municipality may impose a tax under this Section unless
the municipality also imposes a tax at the same rate under
Section 8-11-1.4 of this Code.
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in such

HB4636 Enrolled - 197 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
notification from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by
the State Treasurer out of the non-home rule municipal
retailers' occupation tax fund or the Local Government
Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
Except as otherwise provided, the Department shall
forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as
trustee, all taxes and penalties collected hereunder for
deposit into the Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation
Tax Fund. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold
on or after December 1, 2019, shall be immediately paid over by
the Department to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee,
for deposit into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund. The
Department shall only pay moneys into the Local Government
Aviation Trust Fund under this Section 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 municipality.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the

HB4636 Enrolled - 198 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
the municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid
taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the

For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit
whose tax is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer of coal
or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail at the
place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is
extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
interstate or foreign commerce.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business which under the constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
municipality under this Section, the Department shall increase
or decrease such amount by an amount necessary to offset any
misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.
The Department of Revenue shall implement Public Act

Sec. 8-11-1.3. Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home
rule municipality may impose, by ordinance or resolution
adopted in the manner described in Section 8-11-1.1, a tax
upon all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
personal property, other than on an item of tangible personal
property which is titled and registered by an agency of this
State's Government, at retail in the municipality. If imposed,
the tax shall be imposed on the gross receipts from such sales
made in the course of such business. The proceeds of the tax
may be used for expenditure on public infrastructure or for
property tax relief or both, as defined in Section 8-11-1.2 if
approved by referendum as provided in Section 8-11-1.1, of the
gross receipts from such sales made in the course of such
business. If the tax is approved by referendum on or after July
14, 2010 (the effective date of Public Act 96-1057) and before

HB4636 Enrolled - 201 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
August 5, 2024 (the effective date of Public Act 103-781), the
corporate authorities of the a non-home rule municipality may,
until January 1, 2031 July 1, 2030, use the proceeds of the tax
for expenditure on municipal operations, in addition to or in
lieu of any expenditure on public infrastructure or for
property tax relief. If the tax is approved by an ordinance or
resolution adopted on or after August 5, 2024 (the effective
date of Public Act 103-781), the corporate authorities of the
non-home rule municipality may, until January 1, 2031, use the
proceeds of the tax for expenditure on municipal operations,
in addition to or in lieu of any expenditure on public
infrastructure or for property tax relief. The tax imposed may
not be more than 1% and may be imposed only in 1/4% increments.
The tax may not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed
at the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at
the 0% rate imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd
General Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax is not
imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
expended for airport-related purposes. If a municipality does
not have an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates
aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from
the tax. Each municipality must comply with the certification
requirements for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this
Section, "airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed
in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion

HB4636 Enrolled - 202 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
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 municipality. The tax imposed by a municipality
pursuant to this Section and all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
of registration which is issued by the Department to a
retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit
such retailer to engage in a business which is taxable under
any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section
without registering separately with the Department under such
ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
provided, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda,
arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j,
2 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other
than the State rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the

HB4636 Enrolled - 203 - LRB103 38201 HLH 68335 b
disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on
aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c,

10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and
Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as fully as
if those provisions were set forth herein.
No municipality may impose a tax under this Section unless
the municipality also imposes a tax at the same rate under
Section 8-11-1.4 of this Code.
If, on January 1, 2025, a unit of local government has in
effect a tax under this Section, or if, after January 1, 2025,
a unit of local government imposes a tax under this Section,
then that tax applies to leases of tangible personal property
in effect, entered into, or renewed on or after that date in
the same manner as the tax under this Section and in accordance
with the changes made by this amendatory Act of the 103rd
General Assembly.
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.

Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
Except as otherwise provided, the Department shall
forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as
trustee, all taxes and penalties collected hereunder for
deposit into the Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation
Tax Fund. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold
on or after December 1, 2019, shall be immediately paid over by
the Department to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee,
for deposit into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund. The
Department shall only pay moneys into the Local Government

47133 are binding on the municipality.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,

in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
the municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid
taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the
second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
municipality shall be the amount (not including credit
memoranda and not including taxes and penalties collected on
aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019) collected
hereunder during the second preceding calendar month by the
Department plus an amount the Department determines is
necessary to offset any amounts which were erroneously paid to

time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be

municipality may impose, by ordinance or resolution adopted in
the manner described in Section 8-11-1.1, a tax upon all
