(1) "Manufacturing process" means the production of an
article of tangible personal property, whether the article
is a finished product or an article for use in the process
of manufacturing or assembling a different article of
tangible personal property, by a procedure commonly
regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabricating, or
refining that changes some existing material into a
material with a different form, use, or name. In relation
to a recognized integrated business composed of a series of
operations that collectively constitute manufacturing, or
individually constitute manufacturing operations, the
manufacturing process commences with the first operation
or stage of production in the series and does not end until
the completion of the final product in the last operation
or stage of production in the series. For purposes of this
exemption, photoprocessing is a manufacturing process of
tangible personal property for wholesale or retail sale.
(2) "Assembling process" means the production of an
article of tangible personal property, whether the article
is a finished product or an article for use in the process
of manufacturing or assembling a different article of
tangible personal property, by the combination of existing
materials in a manner commonly regarded as assembling that
results in an article or material of a different form, use,
or name.

SB1390 - 21 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
(3) "Machinery" means major mechanical machines or
major components of those machines contributing to a
manufacturing or assembling process.
(4) "Equipment" includes an independent device or tool
separate from machinery but essential to an integrated
manufacturing or assembly process; including computers
used primarily in a manufacturer's computer assisted
design, computer assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system;
any subunit or assembly comprising a component of any
machinery or auxiliary, adjunct, or attachment parts of
machinery, such as tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, patterns,
and molds; and any parts that require periodic replacement
in the course of normal operation; but does not include
hand tools. Equipment includes chemicals or chemicals
acting as catalysts but only if the chemicals or chemicals
acting as catalysts effect a direct and immediate change
upon a product being manufactured or assembled for
wholesale or retail sale or lease.
(5) "Production related tangible personal property"
means all tangible personal property that is used or
consumed by the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in
which a manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of
the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including
and includes, without limitation, tangible personal
property that is purchased for incorporation into real
estate within a manufacturing facility and including, but

SB1390 - 22 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
not limited to, tangible personal property that is used or
consumed in activities such as research and development,
preproduction material handling, receiving, quality
control, inventory control, storage, staging, and
packaging for shipping and transportation purposes.
Tangible personal property used or consumed by the
purchaser for research and development is considered
"production related tangible personal property" regardless
of use within or without a manufacturing facility.
"Production related tangible personal property" does not
include (i) tangible personal property that is used, within
or without a manufacturing facility, in sales, purchasing,
accounting, fiscal management, marketing, personnel
recruitment or selection, or landscaping or (ii) tangible
personal property that is required to be titled or
registered with a department, agency, or unit of federal,
State, or local government.
The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment
exemption includes production related tangible personal
property that is purchased on or after July 1, 2007 and on or
before June 30, 2008. The exemption for production related
tangible personal property is subject to both of the following
limitations:
(1) The maximum amount of the exemption for any one
taxpayer may not exceed 5% of the purchase price of
production related tangible personal property that is

SB1390 - 23 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
purchased on or after July 1, 2007 and on or before June
30, 2008. A credit under Section 3-85 of this Act may not
be earned by the purchase of production related tangible
personal property for which an exemption is received under
this Section.
(2) The maximum aggregate amount of the exemptions for
production related tangible personal property awarded
under this Act and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act to all
taxpayers may not exceed $10,000,000. If the claims for the
exemption exceed $10,000,000, then the Department shall
reduce the amount of the exemption to each taxpayer on a
pro rata basis.
The Department may adopt rules to implement and administer the
exemption for production related tangible personal property.
The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment
exemption includes the sale of materials to a purchaser who
produces exempted types of machinery, equipment, or tools and
who rents or leases that machinery, equipment, or tools to a
manufacturer of tangible personal property. This exemption
also includes the sale of materials to a purchaser who
manufactures those materials into an exempted type of
machinery, equipment, or tools that the purchaser uses himself
or herself in the manufacturing of tangible personal property.
This exemption includes the sale of exempted types of machinery
or equipment to a purchaser who is not the manufacturer, but
who rents or leases the use of the property to a manufacturer.

SB1390 - 24 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
The purchaser of the machinery and equipment who has an active
resale registration number shall furnish that number to the
seller at the time of purchase. A user of the machinery,
equipment, or tools without an active resale registration
number shall prepare a certificate of exemption for each
transaction stating facts establishing the exemption for that
transaction, and that certificate shall be available to the
Department for inspection or audit. The Department shall
prescribe the form of the certificate. Informal rulings,
opinions, or letters issued by the Department in response to an
inquiry or request for an opinion from any person regarding the
coverage and applicability of this exemption to specific
devices shall be published, maintained as a public record, and
made available for public inspection and copying. If the
informal ruling, opinion, or letter contains trade secrets or
other confidential information, where possible, the Department
shall delete that information before publication. Whenever
informal rulings, opinions, or letters contain a policy of
general applicability, the Department shall formulate and
adopt that policy as a rule in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act.
The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment
exemption is exempt from the provisions of Section 3-90.

of machinery and equipment made on and after January 1, 1995
through June 30, 2003, and on and after September 1, 2004
through August 30, 2014, a purchaser of manufacturing machinery
and equipment that qualifies for the exemption provided by
paragraph (18) of Section 3-5 of this Act earns a credit in an
amount equal to a fixed percentage of the tax which would have
been incurred under this Act on those purchases. For purchases
of graphic arts machinery and equipment made on or after July
1, 1996 and through June 30, 2003, and on and after September
1, 2004 through August 30, 2014, a purchaser of graphic arts
machinery and equipment that qualifies for the exemption
provided by paragraph (6) of Section 3-5 of this Act earns a
credit in an amount equal to a fixed percentage of the tax that
would have been incurred under this Act on those purchases. The
credit earned for purchases of manufacturing machinery and
equipment or graphic arts machinery and equipment shall be
referred to as the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. A graphic
arts producer is a person engaged in graphic arts production as
defined in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.
Beginning July 1, 1996, all references in this Section to
manufacturers or manufacturing shall also be deemed to refer to
graphic arts producers or graphic arts production.
The amount of credit shall be a percentage of the tax that
would have been incurred on the purchase of manufacturing
machinery and equipment or graphic arts machinery and equipment

SB1390 - 26 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
if the exemptions provided by paragraph (6) or paragraph (18)
of Section 3-5 of this Act had not been applicable. The
percentage shall be as follows:
(1) 15% for purchases made on or before June 30, 1995.

(a) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1,
2003. This subsection (a) applies to Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit earned prior to July 1, 2003. A purchaser of production
related tangible personal property desiring to use the
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall certify to the seller
prior to October 1, 2003 that the purchaser is satisfying all
or part of the liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service
Use Tax Act that is due on the purchase of the production
related tangible personal property by use of Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
certification must be dated and shall include the name and
address of the purchaser, the purchaser's registration number,
if registered, the credit being applied, and a statement that
the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability is being
satisfied with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's
accumulated purchase credit. Certification may be incorporated
into the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's purchase

SB1390 - 27 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
order. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification provided
by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer prior to October
1, 2003 may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's
liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service
Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. A
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reported on any original or
amended return filed under this Act after October 20, 2003
shall be disallowed. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned
by purchase of exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment or
graphic arts machinery and equipment is a non-transferable
credit. A manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters
into a contract involving the installation of tangible personal
property into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic
arts production facility may, prior to October 1, 2003,
authorize a construction contractor to utilize credit
accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer to
purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or
graphic arts producer intending to use accumulated credit to
purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a
written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a
specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall
furnish, prior to October 1, 2003, the supplier with the
manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's name, registration

SB1390 - 28 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
or resale number, and a statement that a specific amount of the
Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability, not to exceed 6.25% of
the selling price, is being satisfied with the credit. The
manufacturer or graphic arts producer shall remain liable to
timely report all information required by the annual Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for all credit utilized by
a construction contractor.
No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1,
2003 may be used after October 1, 2003. The Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy liability under the Use
Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due on the purchase of
production related tangible personal property (including
purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or by
a lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible
personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
such as preproduction material handling, receiving, quality

SB1390 - 29 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging
for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a
graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as
described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
takes place, including tangible personal property purchased
for incorporation into real estate within a graphic arts
facility and including, but not limited to, all tangible
personal property used or consumed in activities such as
graphic arts preliminary or pre-press production,
pre-production material handling, receiving, quality control,
inventory control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling,
mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for
research and development. "Production related tangible
personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
property used, within or without a manufacturing facility, in
sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal management, marketing,
personnel recruitment or selection, or landscaping or (ii)
tangible personal property required to be titled or registered
with a department, agency, or unit of federal, state, or local
government. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used,
prior to October 1, 2003, to satisfy the tax arising either
from the purchase of machinery and equipment on or after
January 1, 1995 for which the exemption provided by paragraph
(18) of Section 3-5 of this Act was erroneously claimed, or the

SB1390 - 30 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
purchase of machinery and equipment on or after July 1, 1996
for which the exemption provided by paragraph (6) of Section
3-5 of this Act was erroneously claimed, but not in
satisfaction of penalty, if any, and interest for failure to
pay the tax when due. A purchaser of production related
tangible personal property who is required to pay Illinois Use
Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase directly to the
Department may, prior to October 1, 2003, utilize the
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in satisfaction of the tax
arising from that purchase, but not in satisfaction of penalty
and interest. A purchaser who uses the Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit to purchase property which is later determined not to be
production related tangible personal property may be liable for
tax, penalty, and interest on the purchase of that property as
of the date of purchase but shall be entitled to use the
disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, so long as it has
not expired and is used prior to October 1, 2003, on qualifying
purchases of production related tangible personal property not
previously subject to credit usage. The Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit earned by a manufacturer or graphic arts
producer expires the last day of the second calendar year
following the calendar year in which the credit arose. No
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used after September 30,
2003 regardless of when that credit was earned.
A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase

SB1390 - 31 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
Credit Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day
of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms
as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
other information as the Department may reasonably require. A
purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
maintain records which identify, as to each purchase of
manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment on which
the purchaser earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the
vendor (including, if applicable, either the vendor's
registration number or Federal Employer Identification
Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit earned on each purchase.
A purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit Used for each calendar year no later than the last day
of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is used. A Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used shall be filed on forms as

SB1390 - 32 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state, for
each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase price
of production related tangible personal property purchased
from Illinois suppliers; (ii) the total purchase price of
production related tangible personal property purchased from
out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the total amount of credit used
during such month; and (iv) such other information as the
Department may reasonably require. A purchaser using
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain records that
identify, as to each purchase of production related tangible
personal property on which the purchaser used Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable, either
the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer
Identification Number), the purchase price, and the amount of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
No annual report shall be filed before May 1, 1996 or after
June 30, 2004. A purchaser that fails to file an annual Report
of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
not previously reported at any time before the credit would
have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have

SB1390 - 33 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
portion thereof has been extended. No Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit report filed with the Department for periods prior to
January 1, 1995 shall be approved. Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit claimed on an amended report may be used, until October
1, 2003, to satisfy tax liability under the Use Tax Act or the
Service Use Tax Act (i) on qualifying purchases of production
related tangible personal property made after the date the
amended report is filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on
qualifying purchases of production related tangible personal
property made in the case of manufacturers on or after January
1, 1995, or in the case of graphic arts producers on or after
July 1, 1996.
If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts
producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
manufacturer or graphic arts producer, the purchaser may earn,
report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the same
manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer.
A purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported
and is not timely reported as provided in this Section. A

SB1390 - 34 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
purchaser remains liable for (i) any tax that was satisfied by
use of a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of the date of
purchase, if that use is not timely reported as required in
this Section and (ii) for any applicable penalties and interest
for failing to pay the tax when due. No Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit may be used after September 30, 2003 to satisfy any tax
liability imposed under this Act, including any audit
liability.
(b) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and after
September 1, 2004 and through June 30, 2019. This subsection
(b) applies to Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and
after September 1, 2004 and through June 30, 2019. No
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used after July 1, 2019
to satisfy any tax liability incurred on purchases of
production related tangible personal property made on or before
July 1, 2019 or to satisfy any audit liability established on
or after July 1, 2019. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on
or after September 1, 2004 may only be used to satisfy the Use
Tax or Service Use Tax liability incurred on production related
tangible personal property purchased on or after September 1,
2004. A purchaser of production related tangible personal
property desiring to use the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
shall certify to the seller that the purchaser is satisfying
all or part of the liability under the Use Tax Act or the
Service Use Tax Act that is due on the purchase of the
production related tangible personal property by use of

SB1390 - 35 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. The Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit certification must be dated and shall include the name
and address of the purchaser, the purchaser's registration
number, if registered, the credit being applied, and a
statement that the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability
is being satisfied with the manufacturer's or graphic arts
producer's accumulated purchase credit. Certification may be
incorporated into the manufacturer's or graphic arts
producer's purchase order. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
certification provided by the manufacturer or graphic arts
producer may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's
liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service
Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. The
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by purchase of exempt
manufacturing machinery and equipment or graphic arts
machinery and equipment is a non-transferable credit. A
manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters into a
contract involving the installation of tangible personal
property into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic
arts production facility may, on or after September 1, 2004,
authorize a construction contractor to utilize credit
accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer to
purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or

SB1390 - 36 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
graphic arts producer intending to use accumulated credit to
purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a
written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a
specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall furnish
the supplier with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's
name, registration or resale number, and a statement that a
specific amount of the Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability,
not to exceed 6.25% of the selling price, is being satisfied
with the credit. The manufacturer or graphic arts producer
shall remain liable to timely report all information required
by the annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for
all credit utilized by a construction contractor.
The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy
liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due
on the purchase, made on or after September 1, 2004, of
production related tangible personal property (including
purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or by
a lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible

SB1390 - 37 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
such as preproduction material handling, receiving, quality
control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging
for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a
graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as
described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
takes place, including tangible personal property purchased
for incorporation into real estate within a graphic arts
facility and including, but not limited to, all tangible
personal property used or consumed in activities such as
graphic arts preliminary or pre-press production,
pre-production material handling, receiving, quality control,
inventory control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling,
mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for
research and development. "Production related tangible
personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
property used, within or without a manufacturing facility, in
sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal management, marketing,
personnel recruitment or selection, or landscaping or (ii)
tangible personal property required to be titled or registered
with a department, agency, or unit of federal, state, or local
government. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to

SB1390 - 38 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
satisfy the tax arising either from the purchase of machinery
and equipment on or after September 1, 2004 for which the
exemption provided by paragraph (18) of Section 3-5 of this Act
was erroneously claimed, or the purchase of machinery and
equipment on or after September 1, 2004 for which the exemption
provided by paragraph (6) of Section 3-5 of this Act was
erroneously claimed, but not in satisfaction of penalty, if
any, and interest for failure to pay the tax when due. A
purchaser of production related tangible personal property
that is purchased on or after September 1, 2004 who is required
to pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase
directly to the Department may utilize the Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit in satisfaction of the tax arising from that
purchase, but not in satisfaction of penalty and interest. A
purchaser who uses the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to
purchase property on and after September 1, 2004 which is later
determined not to be production related tangible personal
property may be liable for tax, penalty, and interest on the
purchase of that property as of the date of purchase but shall
be entitled to use the disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit, so long as it has not expired and is used on qualifying
purchases of production related tangible personal property not
previously subject to credit usage. The Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit earned by a manufacturer or graphic arts
producer expires the last day of the second calendar year
following the calendar year in which the credit arose. A

SB1390 - 39 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall sign
and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day of the
sixth month following the calendar year in which a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms
as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
other information as the Department may reasonably require. A
purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
maintain records which identify, as to each purchase of
manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment on which
the purchaser earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the
vendor (including, if applicable, either the vendor's
registration number or Federal Employer Identification
Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit earned on each purchase. A purchaser using
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall sign and file an annual
Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for each calendar
year no later than the last day of the sixth month following
the calendar year in which a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is

SB1390 - 40 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
used. A Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used shall be
filed on forms as prescribed or approved by the Department and
shall state, for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total
purchase price of production related tangible personal
property purchased from Illinois suppliers; (ii) the total
purchase price of production related tangible personal
property purchased from out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the
total amount of credit used during such month; and (iv) such
other information as the Department may reasonably require. A
purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain
records that identify, as to each purchase of production
related tangible personal property on which the purchaser used
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if
applicable, either the vendor's registration number or Federal
Employer Identification Number), the purchase price, and the
amount of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
A purchaser that fails to file an annual Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
not previously reported at any time before the credit would
have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have

SB1390 - 41 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
portion thereof has been extended. Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit claimed on an amended report may be used to satisfy tax
liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act (i)
on qualifying purchases of production related tangible
personal property made after the date the amended report is
filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on qualifying
production related tangible personal property purchased on or
after September 1, 2004. If the purchaser is not the
manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, but rents or leases

shall be presumed that the cost price to the serviceman of the

is equal to 50% of the subcontractor's charges to the
serviceman in the absence of proof of the consideration paid by
the subcontractor for the purchase of such property.

Illinois Vehicle Code; and (iii) that are primarily used
for commercial purposes. Through June 30, 2005, this

motor vehicle is used in a manner that would qualify for
the rolling stock exemption otherwise provided for in this

SB1390 - 46 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
Act. For purposes of this paragraph, "used for commercial

by the manufacturer or some other person, or whether such
sale or lease is made apart from or as an incident to the

electricity for wholesale or retail sale; (ii) the
generation or treatment of natural or artificial gas for
wholesale or retail sale that is delivered to customers
through pipes, pipelines, or mains; or (iii) the treatment
of water for wholesale or retail sale that is delivered to

exemption under this paragraph (5) is exempt from the
provisions of Section 3-75.
(5a) the repairing, reconditioning or remodeling, for
a common carrier by rail, of tangible personal property
which belongs to such carrier for hire, and as to which
such carrier receives the physical possession of the
repaired, reconditioned or remodeled item of tangible
personal property in Illinois, and which such carrier
transports, or shares with another common carrier in the
transportation of such property, out of Illinois on a
standard uniform bill of lading showing the person who
repaired, reconditioned or remodeled the property to a
destination outside Illinois, for use outside Illinois.
(5b) a sale or transfer of tangible personal property
which is produced by the seller thereof on special order in
such a way as to have made the applicable tax the Service
Occupation Tax or the Service Use Tax, rather than the
Retailers' Occupation Tax or the Use Tax, for an interstate
carrier by rail which receives the physical possession of
such property in Illinois, and which transports such
property, or shares with another common carrier in the
transportation of such property, out of Illinois on a
standard uniform bill of lading showing the seller of the
property as the shipper or consignor of such property to a
destination outside Illinois, for use outside Illinois.

the production of ethyl alcohol that will be used for
consumption as motor fuel or as a component of motor fuel
for the personal use of such user and not subject to sale
or resale.
(7) at the election of any serviceman not required to
be otherwise registered as a retailer under Section 2a of
the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, made for each fiscal
year sales of service in which the aggregate annual cost
price of tangible personal property transferred as an
incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or 75%
in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
or servicemen engaged in graphic arts production, of the
aggregate annual total gross receipts from all sales of
service. The purchase of such tangible personal property by
the serviceman shall be subject to tax under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act and the Use Tax Act. However, if a
primary serviceman who has made the election described in
this paragraph subcontracts service work to a secondary
serviceman who has also made the election described in this
paragraph, the primary serviceman does not incur a Use Tax
liability if the secondary serviceman (i) has paid or will
pay Use Tax on his or her cost price of any tangible
personal property transferred to the primary serviceman

SB1390 - 49 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
and (ii) certifies that fact in writing to the primary
serviceman.
Tangible personal property transferred incident to the
completion of a maintenance agreement is exempt from the tax
imposed pursuant to this Act.
Exemption (5) also includes machinery and equipment used in
the general maintenance or repair of such exempt machinery and
equipment or for in-house manufacture of exempt machinery and

regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabricating, or
refining which changes some existing material or materials into
a material with a different form, use or name. In relation to a
recognized integrated business composed of a series of

of machinery and equipment made on and after January 1, 1995
and through June 30, 2003, and on and after September 1, 2004
through August 30, 2014, a purchaser of manufacturing machinery
and equipment that qualifies for the exemption provided by
Section 2 of this Act earns a credit in an amount equal to a
fixed percentage of the tax which would have been incurred
under this Act on those purchases. For purchases of graphic
arts machinery and equipment made on or after July 1, 1996
through June 30, 2003, and on and after September 1, 2004
through August 30, 2014, a purchase of graphic arts machinery
and equipment that qualifies for the exemption provided by

SB1390 - 59 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this Act earns a credit in an
amount equal to a fixed percentage of the tax that would have
been incurred under this Act on those purchases. The credit
earned for the purchase of manufacturing machinery and
equipment and graphic arts machinery and equipment shall be
referred to as the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. A graphic
arts producer is a person engaged in graphic arts production as
defined in Section 3-30 of the Service Occupation Tax Act.
Beginning July 1, 1996, all references in this Section to
manufacturers or manufacturing shall also refer to graphic arts
producers or graphic arts production.
The amount of credit shall be a percentage of the tax that
would have been incurred on the purchase of the manufacturing
machinery and equipment or graphic arts machinery and equipment
if the exemptions provided by Section 2 or paragraph (5) of
Section 3-5 of this Act had not been applicable.
All purchases prior to October 1, 2003 and on and after
September 1, 2004 and through July 30, 2019 of manufacturing
machinery and equipment and graphic arts machinery and
equipment that qualify for the exemptions provided by paragraph
(5) of Section 2 or paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this Act
qualify for the credit without regard to whether the serviceman
elected, or could have elected, under paragraph (7) of Section
2 of this Act to exclude the transaction from this Act. If the
serviceman's billing to the service customer separately states
a selling price for the exempt manufacturing machinery or

SB1390 - 60 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
equipment or the exempt graphic arts machinery and equipment,
the credit shall be calculated, as otherwise provided herein,
based on that selling price. If the serviceman's billing does
not separately state a selling price for the exempt
manufacturing machinery and equipment or the exempt graphic
arts machinery and equipment, the credit shall be calculated,
as otherwise provided herein, based on 50% of the entire
billing. If the serviceman contracts to design, develop, and
produce special order manufacturing machinery and equipment or
special order graphic arts machinery and equipment, and the
billing does not separately state a selling price for such
special order machinery and equipment, the credit shall be
calculated, as otherwise provided herein, based on 50% of the
entire billing. The provisions of this paragraph are effective
for purchases made on or after January 1, 1995.
The percentage shall be as follows:
(1) 15% for purchases made on or before June 30, 1995.
(2) 25% for purchases made after June 30, 1995, and on

(a) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1,
2003. This subsection (a) applies to Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit earned prior to July 1, 2003. A purchaser of production
related tangible personal property desiring to use the

SB1390 - 61 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall certify to the seller
prior to October 1, 2003 that the purchaser is satisfying all
or part of the liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service
Use Tax Act that is due on the purchase of the production
related tangible personal property by use of a Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
certification must be dated and shall include the name and
address of the purchaser, the purchaser's registration number,
if registered, the credit being applied, and a statement that
the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability is being
satisfied with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's
accumulated purchase credit. Certification may be incorporated
into the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's purchase
order. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification provided
by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer prior to October
1, 2003 may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's
liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service
Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. A
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reported on any original or
amended return filed under this Act after October 20, 2003
shall be disallowed. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned
by purchase of exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment or
graphic arts machinery and equipment is a non-transferable

SB1390 - 62 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
credit. A manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters
into a contract involving the installation of tangible personal
property into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic
arts production facility, prior to October 1, 2003, may
authorize a construction contractor to utilize credit
accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer to
purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or
graphic arts producer intending to use accumulated credit to
purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a
written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a
specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall
furnish, prior to October 1, 2003, the supplier with the
manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's name, registration
or resale number, and a statement that a specific amount of the
Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability, not to exceed 6.25% of
the selling price, is being satisfied with the credit. The
manufacturer or graphic arts producer shall remain liable to
timely report all information required by the annual Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for credit utilized by a
construction contractor.
No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1,
2003 may be used after October 1, 2003. The Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy liability under the Use
Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due on the purchase of
production related tangible personal property (including
purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or a

SB1390 - 63 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible
personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
such as pre-production material handling, receiving, quality
control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging
for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a
graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as
described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
takes place, including tangible personal property purchased
for incorporation into real estate within a graphic arts
facility and including, but not limited to, all tangible
personal property used or consumed in activities such as
graphic arts preliminary or pre-press production,
pre-production material handling, receiving, quality control,
inventory control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling,
mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible

SB1390 - 64 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for
research and development. "Production related tangible
personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
property used, within or without a manufacturing or graphic
arts facility, in sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal
management, marketing, personnel recruitment or selection, or
landscaping or (ii) tangible personal property required to be
titled or registered with a department, agency, or unit of
federal, state, or local government. The Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit may be used, prior to October 1, 2003, to
satisfy the tax arising either from the purchase of machinery
and equipment on or after January 1, 1995 for which the
manufacturing machinery and equipment exemption provided by
Section 2 of this Act was erroneously claimed, or the purchase
of machinery and equipment on or after July 1, 1996 for which
the exemption provided by paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this
Act was erroneously claimed, but not in satisfaction of
penalty, if any, and interest for failure to pay the tax when
due. A purchaser of production related tangible personal
property who is required to pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use
Tax on the purchase directly to the Department may, prior to
October 1, 2003, utilize the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in
satisfaction of the tax arising from that purchase, but not in
satisfaction of penalty and interest. A purchaser who uses the
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to purchase property which is
later determined not to be production related tangible personal

SB1390 - 65 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
property may be liable for tax, penalty, and interest on the
purchase of that property as of the date of purchase but shall
be entitled to use the disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit, so long as it has not expired and is used prior to
October 1, 2003, on qualifying purchases of production related
tangible personal property not previously subject to credit
usage. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by a
manufacturer or graphic arts producer expires the last day of
the second calendar year following the calendar year in which
the credit arose. No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used
after September 30, 2003 regardless of when that credit was
earned.
A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day
of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms
as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
other information as the Department may reasonably require. A

SB1390 - 66 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
maintain records which identify, as to each purchase of
manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment on which
the purchaser earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the
vendor (including, if applicable, either the vendor's
registration number or Federal Employer Identification
Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit earned on each purchase.
A purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit Used for each calendar year no later than the last day
of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is used. A Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used shall be filed on forms as
prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state, for
each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase price
of production related tangible personal property purchased
from Illinois suppliers; (ii) the total purchase price of
production related tangible personal property purchased from
out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the total amount of credit used
during such month; and (iv) such other information as the
Department may reasonably require. A purchaser using
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain records that
identify, as to each purchase of production related tangible
personal property on which the purchaser used Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable, either

SB1390 - 67 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer
Identification Number), the purchase price, and the amount of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
No annual report shall be filed before May 1, 1996 or after
June 30, 2004. A purchaser that fails to file an annual Report
of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
not previously reported at any time before the credit would
have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have
agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
portion thereof has been extended. No Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit report filed with the Department for periods prior to
January 1, 1995 shall be approved. Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit claimed on an amended report may be used, prior to
October 1, 2003, to satisfy tax liability under the Use Tax Act
or the Service Use Tax Act (i) on qualifying purchases of

SB1390 - 68 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
production related tangible personal property made after the
date the amended report is filed or (ii) assessed by the
Department on qualifying purchases of production related
tangible personal property made in the case of manufacturers on
or after January 1, 1995, or in the case of graphic arts
producers on or after July 1, 1996.
If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts
producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, the purchaser may
earn, report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the
same manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer.
A purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported
and is not timely reported as provided in this Section. A
purchaser remains liable for (i) any tax that was satisfied by
use of a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of the date of
purchase, if that use is not timely reported as required in
this Section and (ii) for any applicable penalties and interest
for failing to pay the tax when due. No Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit may be used after September 30, 2003 to satisfy any tax
liability imposed under this Act, including any audit
liability.
(b) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and after
September 1, 2004 and through July 30, 2019. This subsection
(b) applies to Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on or
after September 1, 2004 and through July 30, 2019.

SB1390 - 69 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on or after September 1,
2004 and through July 30, 2019 may only be used to satisfy the
Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability incurred on production
related tangible personal property purchased on or after
September 1, 2004 and through July 30, 2019. A purchaser of
production related tangible personal property desiring to use
the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall certify to the seller
that the purchaser is satisfying all or part of the liability
under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act that is due on
the purchase of the production related tangible personal
property by use of a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. The
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification must be dated and
shall include the name and address of the purchaser, the
purchaser's registration number, if registered, the credit
being applied, and a statement that the State Use Tax or
Service Use Tax liability is being satisfied with the
manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's accumulated purchase
credit. Certification may be incorporated into the
manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's purchase order.
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification provided by the
manufacturer or graphic arts producer may be used to satisfy
the retailer's or serviceman's liability under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act or Service Occupation Tax Act for the credit
claimed, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to tax
from a qualifying purchase, but only if the retailer or
serviceman reports the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit claimed

SB1390 - 70 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
as required by the Department. The Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit earned by purchase of exempt manufacturing machinery and
equipment or graphic arts machinery and equipment is a
non-transferable credit. A manufacturer or graphic arts
producer that enters into a contract involving the installation
of tangible personal property into real estate within a
manufacturing or graphic arts production facility may, on or
after September 1, 2004, authorize a construction contractor to
utilize credit accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts
producer to purchase the tangible personal property. A
manufacturer or graphic arts producer intending to use
accumulated credit to purchase such tangible personal property
shall execute a written contract authorizing the contractor to
utilize a specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor
shall furnish the supplier with the manufacturer's or graphic
arts producer's name, registration or resale number, and a
statement that a specific amount of the Use Tax or Service Use
Tax liability, not to exceed 6.25% of the selling price, is
being satisfied with the credit. The manufacturer or graphic
arts producer shall remain liable to timely report all
information required by the annual Report of Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit Used for credit utilized by a construction
contractor.
The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy
liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due
on the purchase, made on or after September 1, 2004, of

SB1390 - 71 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
production related tangible personal property (including
purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or a
lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible
personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
such as pre-production material handling, receiving, quality
control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging
for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a
graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as
described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
takes place, including tangible personal property purchased
for incorporation into real estate within a graphic arts
facility and including, but not limited to, all tangible
personal property used or consumed in activities such as
graphic arts preliminary or pre-press production,
pre-production material handling, receiving, quality control,

SB1390 - 72 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
inventory control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling,
mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for
research and development. "Production related tangible
personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
property used, within or without a manufacturing or graphic
arts facility, in sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal
management, marketing, personnel recruitment or selection, or
landscaping or (ii) tangible personal property required to be
titled or registered with a department, agency, or unit of
federal, state, or local government. The Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy the tax arising either
from the purchase of machinery and equipment on or after
September 1, 2004 for which the manufacturing machinery and
equipment exemption provided by Section 2 of this Act was
erroneously claimed, or the purchase of machinery and equipment
on or after September 1, 2004 for which the exemption provided
by paragraph (5) of Section 3-5 of this Act was erroneously
claimed, but not in satisfaction of penalty, if any, and
interest for failure to pay the tax when due. A purchaser of
production related tangible personal property that is
purchased on or after September 1, 2004 who is required to pay
Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase directly to
the Department may utilize the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
in satisfaction of the tax arising from that purchase, but not
in satisfaction of penalty and interest. A purchaser who uses

SB1390 - 73 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to purchase property on and
after September 1, 2004 which is later determined not to be
production related tangible personal property may be liable for
tax, penalty, and interest on the purchase of that property as
of the date of purchase but shall be entitled to use the
disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, so long as it has
not expired, on qualifying purchases of production related
tangible personal property not previously subject to credit
usage. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by a
manufacturer or graphic arts producer expires the last day of
the second calendar year following the calendar year in which
the credit arose.
A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day
of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms
as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
other information as the Department may reasonably require. A

SB1390 - 74 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
maintain records which identify, as to each purchase of
manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment on which
the purchaser earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the
vendor (including, if applicable, either the vendor's
registration number or Federal Employer Identification
Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit earned on each purchase.
A purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall
sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit Used for each calendar year no later than the last day
of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is used. A Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used shall be filed on forms as

each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase price
of production related tangible personal property purchased
from Illinois suppliers; (ii) the total purchase price of
production related tangible personal property purchased from
out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the total amount of credit used
during such month; and (iv) such other information as the
Department may reasonably require. A purchaser using
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain records that
identify, as to each purchase of production related tangible
personal property on which the purchaser used Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable, either

SB1390 - 75 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer
Identification Number), the purchase price, and the amount of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
A purchaser that fails to file an annual Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
not previously reported at any time before the credit would
have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have
agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
portion thereof has been extended. Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit claimed on an amended report may be used to satisfy tax
liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act (i)
on qualifying purchases of production related tangible
personal property made after the date the amended report is
filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on qualifying
production related tangible personal property purchased on or

SB1390 - 76 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
after September 1, 2004.
If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts
producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, the purchaser may
earn, report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the
same manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer. A
purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported and is
not timely reported as provided in this Section. A purchaser
remains liable for (i) any tax that was satisfied by use of a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of the date of purchase, if
that use is not timely reported as required in this Section and
(ii) for any applicable penalties and interest for failing to
pay the tax when due.

determined without any deduction on account of the supplier's
cost of the property sold or on account of any other expense
incurred by the supplier. When a serviceman contracts out part
or all of the services required in his sale of service, it
shall be presumed that the cost price to the serviceman of the

Act. For purposes of this paragraph, "used for commercial
purposes" means the transportation of persons or property in
furtherance of any commercial or industrial enterprise whether
for-hire or not.
(d-2) The repairing, reconditioning or remodeling, for a

person, or whether such sale or lease is made apart from or as
an incident to the seller's engaging in a service occupation
and the applicable tax is a Service Occupation Tax or Service
Use Tax, rather than Retailers' Occupation Tax or Use Tax. The
exemption provided by this paragraph (e) does not include
machinery and equipment used in (i) the generation of
electricity for wholesale or retail sale; (ii) the generation
or treatment of natural or artificial gas for wholesale or
retail sale that is delivered to customers through pipes,

exempt from the provisions of Section 3-75.
(f) Until July 1, 2003, the sale or transfer of
distillation machinery and equipment, sold as a unit or kit and

service is less than 35% (75% in the case of servicemen
transferring prescription drugs or servicemen engaged in
graphic arts production) of the aggregate annual total gross

tangible personal property by the serviceman shall be subject
to tax under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Use Tax
Act. However, if a primary serviceman who has made the election
described in this paragraph subcontracts service work to a
secondary serviceman who has also made the election described
in this paragraph, the primary serviceman does not incur a Use
Tax liability if the secondary serviceman (i) has paid or will
pay Use Tax on his or her cost price of any tangible personal
property transferred to the primary serviceman and (ii)
certifies that fact in writing to the primary serviceman.
Tangible personal property transferred incident to the

production of any article of tangible personal property,
whether such article is a finished product or an article for
use in the process of manufacturing or assembling a different

Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
of such tax at the time when he is required to file his return
for the period during which such tax was collectible, 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 serviceman for
expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
data to the Department on request. 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 servicemen 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.
Where such tangible personal property is sold under a

SB1390 - 88 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
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 serviceman, in collecting the tax may collect, for
each tax return period, only the tax applicable to the part of
the selling price actually received during such tax return
period.
Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month
in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
promulgated by the Department of Revenue. Such return shall be
filed on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain
such information as the Department may reasonably require. On
and after January 1, 2018, with respect to servicemen whose
annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all returns
required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be filed
electronically. Servicemen 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

SB1390 - 89 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 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

3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
during the 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.
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.

2004 and through June 30, 2019, a serviceman may accept a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification from a purchaser
in satisfaction of Service Use Tax as provided in Section 3-70
of the Service Use Tax Act if the purchaser provides the
appropriate documentation as required by Section 3-70 of the
Service Use Tax Act. A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit

SB1390 - 90 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
certification, accepted prior to October 1, 2003 or on or after
September 1, 2004 and through June 30, 2019 by a serviceman as
provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act, may be
used by that serviceman through June 30, 2019 to satisfy
Service Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in the
certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
tax from a qualifying purchase. A Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit reported on any original or amended return filed under
this Act after October 20, 2003 for reporting periods prior to
September 1, 2004 shall be disallowed. A Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit reported on any original or amended return
filed under this Act after June 30, 2019 shall be disallowed.

2003 through August 31, 2004 or after June 30, 2019 to satisfy
any tax liability imposed under this Act, including any audit
liability.
If the serviceman'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

If the serviceman'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 serviceman may file his return, in the
case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
Act with the Department not more than 1 month after

Where a serviceman 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 serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
to the purchaser, such serviceman 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 serviceman may deduct the amount of the tax so
refunded by him to the purchaser from any other Service
Occupation Tax, Service Use Tax, Retailers' Occupation Tax or
Use Tax which such serviceman may be required to pay or remit
to the Department, as shown by such return, provided that the
amount of the tax to be deducted shall previously have been
remitted to the Department by such serviceman. If the
serviceman shall not previously have remitted the amount of
such tax to the Department, he shall be entitled to no
deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint

SB1390 - 94 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b

the removal of the vehicle from this state following the
filing of an intent to title the vehicle in the purchaser's
state of residence if the purchaser titles the vehicle in
his or her state of residence within 30 days after the date

imposed under this Act.

Purchase Agreement Act, and provide proof of registration
under the Rental Purchase Agreement Occupation and Use Tax
Act. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions of
Section 2-70.

Sec. 2-45. Manufacturing and assembly exemption. The
manufacturing and assembly machinery and equipment exemption
includes machinery and equipment that replaces machinery and
equipment in an existing manufacturing facility as well as
machinery and equipment that are for use in an expanded or new
manufacturing facility.
The machinery and equipment exemption also includes

SB1390 - 128 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
machinery and equipment used in the general maintenance or
repair of exempt machinery and equipment or for in-house
manufacture of exempt machinery and equipment. Beginning on
July 1, 2017, the manufacturing and assembling machinery and
equipment exemption also includes graphic arts machinery and
equipment, as defined in paragraph (4) of Section 2-5.
Beginning on July 1, 2019, the manufacturing and assembling
machinery and equipment exemption also includes production
related tangible personal property, as defined in this Section.
The machinery and equipment exemption does not include
machinery and equipment used in (i) the generation of
electricity for wholesale or retail sale; (ii) the generation
or treatment of natural or artificial gas for wholesale or
retail sale that is delivered to customers through pipes,
pipelines, or mains; or (iii) the treatment of water for
wholesale or retail sale that is delivered to customers through
pipes, pipelines, or mains. The provisions of this amendatory
Act of the 98th General Assembly are declaratory of existing
law as to the meaning and scope of this exemption. For the
purposes of this exemption, terms have the following meanings:
(1) "Manufacturing process" means the production of an
article of tangible personal property, whether the article
is a finished product or an article for use in the process
of manufacturing or assembling a different article of
tangible personal property, by a procedure commonly
regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabricating, or

SB1390 - 129 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
refining that changes some existing material or materials
into a material with a different form, use, or name. In
relation to a recognized integrated business composed of a
series of operations that collectively constitute
manufacturing, or individually constitute manufacturing
operations, the manufacturing process commences with the
first operation or stage of production in the series and
does not end until the completion of the final product in
the last operation or stage of production in the series.
For purposes of this exemption, photoprocessing is a
manufacturing process of tangible personal property for
wholesale or retail sale.
(2) "Assembling process" means the production of an
article of tangible personal property, whether the article
is a finished product or an article for use in the process
of manufacturing or assembling a different article of
tangible personal property, by the combination of existing
materials in a manner commonly regarded as assembling that
results in a material of a different form, use, or name.
(3) "Machinery" means major mechanical machines or
major components of those machines contributing to a
manufacturing or assembling process.
(4) "Equipment" includes an independent device or tool
separate from machinery but essential to an integrated
manufacturing or assembly process; including computers
used primarily in a manufacturer's computer assisted

SB1390 - 130 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
design, computer assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system;
any subunit or assembly comprising a component of any
machinery or auxiliary, adjunct, or attachment parts of
machinery, such as tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, patterns,
and molds; and any parts that require periodic replacement
in the course of normal operation; but does not include
hand tools. Equipment includes chemicals or chemicals
acting as catalysts but only if the chemicals or chemicals
acting as catalysts effect a direct and immediate change
upon a product being manufactured or assembled for
wholesale or retail sale or lease.
(5) "Production related tangible personal property"
means all tangible personal property that is used or
consumed by the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in
which a manufacturing process takes place, including and
includes, without limitation, tangible personal property
that is purchased for incorporation into real estate within
a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited to,
tangible personal property that is used or consumed in
activities such as research and development, preproduction
material handling, receiving, quality control, inventory
control, storage, staging, and packaging for shipping and
transportation purposes. Tangible personal property used
or consumed by the purchaser for research and development
is considered "production related tangible personal
property" regardless of use within or without a

SB1390 - 131 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
manufacturing facility. "Production related tangible
personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
property that is used, within or without a manufacturing
facility, in sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal
management, marketing, personnel recruitment or selection,
or landscaping or (ii) tangible personal property that is
required to be titled or registered with a department,
agency, or unit of federal, State, or local government.
The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment
exemption includes production related tangible personal
property that is purchased on or after July 1, 2007 and on or
before June 30, 2008. The exemption for production related
tangible personal property is subject to both of the following
limitations:
(1) The maximum amount of the exemption for any one
taxpayer may not exceed 5% of the purchase price of
production related tangible personal property that is
purchased on or after July 1, 2007 and on or before June
30, 2008. A credit under Section 3-85 of this Act may not
be earned by the purchase of production related tangible
personal property for which an exemption is received under
this Section.
(2) The maximum aggregate amount of the exemptions for
production related tangible personal property awarded
under this Act and the Use Tax Act to all taxpayers may not
exceed $10,000,000. If the claims for the exemption exceed

SB1390 - 132 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
$10,000,000, then the Department shall reduce the amount of
the exemption to each taxpayer on a pro rata basis.
The Department may adopt rules to implement and administer the
exemption for production related tangible personal property.
The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment
exemption includes the sale of materials to a purchaser who
produces exempted types of machinery, equipment, or tools and
who rents or leases that machinery, equipment, or tools to a
manufacturer of tangible personal property. This exemption
also includes the sale of materials to a purchaser who
manufactures those materials into an exempted type of
machinery, equipment, or tools that the purchaser uses himself
or herself in the manufacturing of tangible personal property.
The purchaser of the machinery and equipment who has an active
resale registration number shall furnish that number to the
seller at the time of purchase. A purchaser of the machinery,
equipment, and tools without an active resale registration
number shall furnish to the seller a certificate of exemption
for each transaction stating facts establishing the exemption
for that transaction, and that certificate shall be available
to the Department for inspection or audit. Informal rulings,
opinions, or letters issued by the Department in response to an
inquiry or request for an opinion from any person regarding the
coverage and applicability of this exemption to specific
devices shall be published, maintained as a public record, and
made available for public inspection and copying. If the

SB1390 - 133 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
informal ruling, opinion, or letter contains trade secrets or
other confidential information, where possible, the Department
shall delete that information before publication. Whenever
informal rulings, opinions, or letters contain a policy of
general applicability, the Department shall formulate and
adopt that policy as a rule in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act.
The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment
exemption is exempt from the provisions of Section 2-70.

(35 ILCS 120/3) (from Ch. 120, par. 442)
Sec. 3. Except as provided in this Section, on or before

furnished, by him during such preceding calendar month or
quarter;
4. Total amount received by him during the preceding
calendar month or quarter on charge and time sales of
tangible personal property, and from services furnished,
by him prior to the month or quarter for which the return

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. 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.

SB1390 - 135 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
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.
Each return shall be accompanied by the statement of
prepaid tax issued pursuant to Section 2e for which credit is
claimed.
Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1,
2004 and through June 30, 2019, a retailer may accept a
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification from a purchaser
in satisfaction of Use Tax as provided in Section 3-85 of the
Use Tax Act if the purchaser provides the appropriate
documentation as required by Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act. A
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted by a
retailer prior to October 1, 2003 and on and after September 1,
2004 and through June 30, 2019, as provided in Section 3-85 of
the Use Tax Act, may be used through June 30, 2019 by that
retailer to satisfy Retailers' Occupation Tax liability in the
amount claimed in the certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the
receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase. A
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reported on any original or
amended return filed under this Act after October 20, 2003 for
reporting periods prior to September 1, 2004 shall be
disallowed. A Manufacturer's Purchaser Credit reported on any
original or amended return filed under this Act after June 30,
2019 shall be disallowed. Manufacturer's Purchaser Credit

SB1390 - 136 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
reported on annual returns due on or after January 1, 2005 will
be disallowed for periods prior to September 1, 2004. A
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reported on an annual return due
on or after January 1, 2020 shall be disallowed for periods on
and after July 1, 2019. No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may
be used after September 30, 2003 through August 31, 2004, or
after June 30, 2019, to satisfy any tax liability imposed under
this Act, including any audit liability.
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

Act;

SB1390 - 137 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
5. The amount of tax due; and
6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
may require.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, any person who is not a
licensed distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer,
as defined in the Liquor Control Act of 1934, but is engaged in
the business of selling, at retail, alcoholic liquor shall 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 preceding month
and such other information as is reasonably required by the
Department. The Department may adopt rules to require that this
statement be filed in an electronic or telephonic format. Such
rules may provide for exceptions from the filing requirements
of this paragraph. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term
"alcoholic liquor" shall have the meaning prescribed in the
Liquor Control Act of 1934.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, every distributor, importing
distributor, and manufacturer of alcoholic liquor as defined in
the Liquor Control Act of 1934, shall file a statement with the
Department of Revenue, no later than the 10th day of the month
for the preceding month during which transactions occurred, by
electronic means, showing the total amount of gross receipts
from the sale of alcoholic liquor sold or distributed during
the preceding month to purchasers; identifying the purchaser to
whom it was sold or distributed; the purchaser's tax

SB1390 - 138 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
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 the 10th day of the month
for the preceding month during which the transaction occurred.
The distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer shall
notify the retailer as to the method by which the distributor,
importing distributor, or manufacturer will provide the sales
information. If the retailer is unable to receive the sales
information by electronic means, the distributor, importing
distributor, or manufacturer shall furnish the sales
information by personal delivery or by mail. For purposes of
this paragraph, the term "electronic means" includes, but is
not limited to, the use of a secure Internet website, e-mail,
or facsimile.
If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable or
creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less than
50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents or more.
Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has

SB1390 - 139 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer.
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.

SB1390 - 140 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
with the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
requirements of this Section.
Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any
return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest
whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a
dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest
whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is
less than 50 cents.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
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

SB1390 - 141 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
October, November and December of a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
business.
Where the same person has more than one business registered
with the Department under separate registrations under this
Act, such person may not file each return that is 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

SB1390 - 142 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
for each such item of tangible personal property which the
retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii)
a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or
trailer to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
provided in Section 2-5 of this Act, then that seller may
report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles
or trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on
the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the
Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any
boat equipped with an inboard motor.
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

SB1390 - 143 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the
transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
manner and form as required by the Department.
Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
to file returns on an annual basis.
The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with 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

SB1390 - 144 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
identification of the property sold; such other information as
is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
such other information as the Department may reasonably
require.
The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
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

SB1390 - 145 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
information as the Department may reasonably require.
Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
expedite the processing of applications for title or
registration.
With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
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

SB1390 - 146 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
to such tangible personal property.
No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
mandate of this paragraph.
If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
the information required by the transaction reporting return
and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the

SB1390 - 147 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
with respect to such receipts.
Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
accredited agent of such corporation.
Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
the limited liability company.
Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing 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

SB1390 - 148 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow
the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is
revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
registration has become final.
Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
day of the month next following the month during which such tax
liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
during which such liability is incurred. 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

SB1390 - 149 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
next following the month during which such tax liability is
incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
payment 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

SB1390 - 150 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
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

SB1390 - 151 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the

SB1390 - 152 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
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
January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to

SB1390 - 153 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
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 taxes that average in
excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete

SB1390 - 154 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
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
taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the

SB1390 - 155 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
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 2.1%
and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
of 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 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

sales tax holiday items.
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

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.
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

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

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

SB1390 - 168 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
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

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, provides retail

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.

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

SB1390 - 170 - LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
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.
