December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
member of the same unitary business group but for the
fact that foreign person's business activity outside
the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
who would be a member of the same unitary business
group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
required to apportion business income under different
subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
extent that dividends were included in base income of
the unitary group for the same taxable year and
received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964
of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in
gross income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue
Code) with respect to the stock of the same person to
whom the interest was paid, accrued, or incurred.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

HB3636 Enrolled - 6 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary
reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
with respect to such interest; or
(ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer can establish, based on a
preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person, during the same taxable
year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or

HB3636 Enrolled - 7 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
to the application or use of an alternative method
of apportionment under Section 304(f).
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
foreign person who would be a member of the same
unitary business group but for the fact that the
foreign person's business activity outside the United
States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after

HB3636 Enrolled - 8 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group
because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross
income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
reduction to the addition modification required under
Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)

losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
(3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
(4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
assets.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and

HB3636 Enrolled - 10 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of

HB3636 Enrolled - 11 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
a person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) or
Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this Act.
(D-20) For taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2002 and ending on or before December 31,

the amount excluded from gross income under Section

January 1, 2007, in the case of a distribution from a
qualified tuition program under Section 529 of the

efforts to inform in-state residents of the existence
of in-state qualified tuition programs by informing
Illinois residents directly and, where applicable, to
inform financial intermediaries distributing the
program to inform in-state residents of the existence
of in-state qualified tuition programs at least
annually, an amount equal to the amount excluded from

HB3636 Enrolled - 13 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
gross income under Section 529(c)(3)(B).
For the purposes of this subparagraph (D-20), a
qualified tuition program has made reasonable efforts
if it makes disclosures (which may use the term
"in-state program" or "in-state plan" and need not
specifically refer to Illinois or its qualified
programs by name) (i) directly to prospective
participants in its offering materials or makes a
public disclosure, such as a website posting; and (ii)
where applicable, to intermediaries selling the
out-of-state program in the same manner that the
out-of-state program distributes its offering
materials;

received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts

This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

HB3636 Enrolled - 31 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary
reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
with respect to such interest; or
(ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

following:
(a) the person, during the same taxable
year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is

HB3636 Enrolled - 32 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
to the application or use of an alternative method
of apportionment under Section 304(f).
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group
because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross
income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
"intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or

This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs

state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is

HB3636 Enrolled - 35 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b

paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
a person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that

modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) or
Section 203(b)(2)(E-13) of this Act;

extent that dividends were included in base income of

included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts
included in gross income under Section 78 of the
Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the
same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or

This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary
reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
with respect to such interest; or
(ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

the taxpayer can establish, based on a

to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the

HB3636 Enrolled - 54 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing

Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards

by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable

unitary business group but for the fact that the
foreign person's business activity outside the United
States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group
because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross
income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross

HB3636 Enrolled - 56 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
"intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the

management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring

patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
subject in a foreign country or state, other than a

HB3636 Enrolled - 57 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative

HB3636 Enrolled - 58 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
a person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group

HB3636 Enrolled - 59 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act.

exempts income derived from bonds or other obligations
from the tax imposed under this Act, the amount
exempted shall be the interest net of bond premium
amortization;
(L) With the exception of any amounts subtracted

addition modification required to be made for the same

intangible expenses and costs paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to the same foreign
person. This subparagraph (V) is exempt from the
provisions of Section 250. (W)
(3) Limitation. The amount of any modification

an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the
deductions taken in all taxable years under
subparagraph (O) with respect to that property.
If the taxpayer continues to own property through
the last day of the last tax year for which the
taxpayer may claim a depreciation deduction for
federal income tax purposes and for which the taxpayer

fact the foreign person's business activity outside
the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
who would be a member of the same unitary business

under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the

HB3636 Enrolled - 70 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
required to apportion business income under different
subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
extent that dividends were included in base income of
the unitary group for the same taxable year and
received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts
included in gross income under Section 78 of the
Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the
same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or
incurred.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary
reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
with respect to such interest; or
(ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer can establish, based on a
preponderance of the evidence, both of the

(a) the person, during the same taxable
year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
to the application or use of an alternative method
of apportionment under Section 304(f).
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

HB3636 Enrolled - 72 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made

and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act; and
(D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
foreign person who would be a member of the same
unitary business group but for the fact that the
foreign person's business activity outside the United
States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group
because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the

HB3636 Enrolled - 73 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross
income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
"intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or

similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
similar types of intangible assets;
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

HB3636 Enrolled - 74 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is

state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the

HB3636 Enrolled - 75 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance
premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph

HB3636 Enrolled - 76 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or
Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act.

amounts:
(E) The valuation limitation amount;

subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for

HB3636 Enrolled - 85 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b

(A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed

insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus

HB3636 Enrolled - 86 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
taxable income shall be determined as if the election
provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue
Code had been in effect for all such years;
(F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
corporation or association, the taxable income of such
organization determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
Revenue Code;
(G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
corporation determined in accordance with Section
1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
taxable income shall take into account those items
which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
corporation determined in accordance with the federal

HB3636 Enrolled - 87 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
(H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
taxable income determined in accordance with Section
703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
income shall take into account those items which are
required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
but which would be taken into account by an individual
in calculating his taxable income.
(3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
business has been classified as business income and in a
later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
related to that asset or business that generated the
non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
taxable years.

(f) Valuation limitation amount.
(1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
(d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
(A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
(B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
such gain included in the amount determined under
subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
(2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
(A) If the fair market value of property referred
to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
determining gain) for such property on that date
(determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized

HB3636 Enrolled - 89 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
such property.
(B) If the fair market value of property referred
to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
amount for such property is that amount which bears the
same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
property for federal income tax purposes for the
taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
period for the property.
(C) The Department shall prescribe such
regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
purposes of this paragraph.
(g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
to be deducted more than once.

this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on

(35 ILCS 5/502) (from Ch. 120, par. 5-502)
Sec. 502. Returns and notices.
(a) In general. A return with respect to the taxes imposed
by this Act shall be made by every person for any taxable year:
(1) for which such person is liable for a tax imposed
by this Act, or
(2) in the case of a resident or in the case of a
corporation which is qualified to do business in this
State, for which such person is required to make a federal
income tax return, regardless of whether such person is
liable for a tax imposed by this Act. However, this
paragraph shall not require a resident to make a return if
such person has an Illinois base income of the basic amount
in Section 204(b) or less and is either claimed as a
dependent on another person's tax return under the Internal

HB3636 Enrolled - 91 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
Revenue Code of 1986, or is claimed as a dependent on
another person's tax return under this Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), a
nonresident whose Illinois income tax liability under
subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) of Section 201 of this Act
is paid in full after taking into account the credits allowed
under subsection (f) of this Section or allowed under Section
709.5 of this Act shall not be required to file a return under
this subsection (a).
(b) Fiduciaries and receivers.
(1) Decedents. If an individual is deceased, any return
or notice required of such individual under this Act shall
be made by his executor, administrator, or other person
charged with the property of such decedent.
(2) Individuals under a disability. If an individual is
unable to make a return or notice required under this Act,
the return or notice required of such individual shall be
made by his duly authorized agent, guardian, fiduciary or
other person charged with the care of the person or
property of such individual.
(3) Estates and trusts. Returns or notices required of
an estate or a trust shall be made by the fiduciary
thereof.
(4) Receivers, trustees and assignees for
corporations. In a case where a receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, or assignee, by order of a court of competent

HB3636 Enrolled - 92 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
jurisdiction, by operation of law, or otherwise, has
possession of or holds title to all or substantially all
the property or business of a corporation, whether or not
such property or business is being operated, such receiver,
trustee, or assignee shall make the returns and notices
required of such corporation in the same manner and form as
corporations are required to make such returns and notices.
(c) Joint returns by husband and wife.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (3): ,
(A) if a husband and wife file a joint federal
income tax return for a taxable year ending before
December 31, 2009, they shall file a joint return under
this Act for such taxable year and their liabilities
shall be joint and several; , but
(B) if a husband and wife file a joint federal
income tax return for a taxable year ending on or after
December 31, 2009, they may elect to file separate
returns under this Act for such taxable year. The
election under this paragraph must be made on or before
the due date (including extensions) of the return and,
once made, shall be irrevocable. If no election is
timely made under this paragraph for a taxable year:
(i) the couple must file a joint return under
this Act for such taxable year,
(ii) their liabilities shall be joint and
several, and

HB3636 Enrolled - 93 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
(iii) any overpayment for that taxable year
may be withheld under Section 909 of this Act or
under Section 2505-275 of the Civil Administrative
Code of Illinois and applied against a debt of
either spouse without regard to the amount of the
overpayment attributable to the other spouse; and
(C) if the federal income tax liability of either
spouse is determined on a separate federal income tax
return, they shall file separate returns under this
Act.
(2) If neither spouse is required to file a federal
income tax return and either or both are required to file a
return under this Act, they may elect to file separate or
joint returns and pursuant to such election their
liabilities shall be separate or joint and several.
(3) If either husband or wife is a resident and the
other is a nonresident, they shall file separate returns in
this State on such forms as may be required by the
Department in which event their tax liabilities shall be
separate; but if they file a joint federal income tax
return for a taxable year, they may elect to determine
their joint net income and file a joint return for that
taxable year under the provisions of paragraph (1) of this
subsection as if both were residents and in such case,
their liabilities shall be joint and several.
(4) Innocent spouses.

HB3636 Enrolled - 94 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
(A) However, for tax liabilities arising and paid
prior to August 13, 1999, an innocent spouse shall be
relieved of liability for tax (including interest and
penalties) for any taxable year for which a joint
return has been made, upon submission of proof that the
Internal Revenue Service has made a determination
under Section 6013(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, for
the same taxable year, which determination relieved
the spouse from liability for federal income taxes. If
there is no federal income tax liability at issue for
the same taxable year, the Department shall rely on the
provisions of Section 6013(e) to determine whether the
person requesting innocent spouse abatement of tax,
penalty, and interest is entitled to that relief.
(B) For tax liabilities arising on and after August
13, 1999 or which arose prior to that date, but remain
unpaid as of that date, if an individual who filed a
joint return for any taxable year has made an election
under this paragraph, the individual's liability for
any tax shown on the joint return shall not exceed the
individual's separate return amount and the
individual's liability for any deficiency assessed for
that taxable year shall not exceed the portion of the
deficiency properly allocable to the individual. For
purposes of this paragraph:
(i) An election properly made pursuant to

HB3636 Enrolled - 95 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
Section 6015 of the Internal Revenue Code shall
constitute an election under this paragraph,
provided that the election shall not be effective
until the individual has notified the Department
of the election in the form and manner prescribed
by the Department.
(ii) If no election has been made under Section
6015, the individual may make an election under
this paragraph in the form and manner prescribed by
the Department, provided that no election may be
made if the Department finds that assets were
transferred between individuals filing a joint
return as part of a scheme by such individuals to
avoid payment of Illinois income tax and the
election shall not eliminate the individual's
liability for any portion of a deficiency
attributable to an error on the return of which the
individual had actual knowledge as of the date of
filing.
(iii) In determining the separate return
amount or portion of any deficiency attributable
to an individual, the Department shall follow the
provisions in subsections (c) and (d) of Section
6015 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(iv) In determining the validity of an
individual's election under subparagraph (ii) and

HB3636 Enrolled - 96 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
in determining an electing individual's separate
return amount or portion of any deficiency under
subparagraph (iii), any determination made by the
Secretary of the Treasury, by the United States Tax
Court on petition for review of a determination by
the Secretary of the Treasury, or on appeal from
the United States Tax Court under Section 6015 of
the Internal Revenue Code regarding criteria for
eligibility or under subsection (d) of Section
6015 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the
allocation of any item of income, deduction,
payment, or credit between an individual making
the federal election and that individual's spouse
shall be conclusively presumed to be correct. With
respect to any item that is not the subject of a
determination by the Secretary of the Treasury or
the federal courts, in any proceeding involving
this subsection, the individual making the
election shall have the burden of proof with
respect to any item except that the Department
shall have the burden of proof with respect to
items in subdivision (ii).
(v) Any election made by an individual under
this subsection shall apply to all years for which
that individual and the spouse named in the
election have filed a joint return.

HB3636 Enrolled - 97 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
(vi) After receiving a notice that the federal
election has been made or after receiving an
election under subdivision (ii), the Department
shall take no collection action against the
electing individual for any liability arising from
a joint return covered by the election until the
Department has notified the electing individual in
writing that the election is invalid or of the
portion of the liability the Department has
allocated to the electing individual. Within 60
days (150 days if the individual is outside the
United States) after the issuance of such
notification, the individual may file a written
protest of the denial of the election or of the
Department's determination of the liability
allocated to him or her and shall be granted a
hearing within the Department under the provisions
of Section 908. If a protest is filed, the
Department shall take no collection action against
the electing individual until the decision
regarding the protest has become final under
subsection (d) of Section 908 or, if
administrative review of the Department's decision
is requested under Section 1201, until the
decision of the court becomes final.
(d) Partnerships. Every partnership having any base income

HB3636 Enrolled - 98 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
allocable to this State in accordance with section 305(c) shall
retain information concerning all items of income, gain, loss
and deduction; the names and addresses of all of the partners,
or names and addresses of members of a limited liability
company, or other persons who would be entitled to share in the
base income of the partnership if distributed; the amount of
the distributive share of each; and such other pertinent
information as the Department may by forms or regulations
prescribe. The partnership shall make that information
available to the Department when requested by the Department.
(e) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1985,
and before December 31, 1993, taxpayers that are corporations
(other than Subchapter S corporations) having the same taxable
year and that are members of the same unitary business group
may elect to be treated as one taxpayer for purposes of any
original return, amended return which includes the same
taxpayers of the unitary group which joined in the election to
file the original return, extension, claim for refund,
assessment, collection and payment and determination of the
group's tax liability under this Act. This subsection (e) does
not permit the election to be made for some, but not all, of
the purposes enumerated above. For taxable years ending on or
after December 31, 1987, corporate members (other than
Subchapter S corporations) of the same unitary business group
making this subsection (e) election are not required to have
the same taxable year.

HB3636 Enrolled - 99 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1993,
taxpayers that are corporations (other than Subchapter S
corporations) and that are members of the same unitary business
group shall be treated as one taxpayer for purposes of any
original return, amended return which includes the same
taxpayers of the unitary group which joined in filing the
original return, extension, claim for refund, assessment,
collection and payment and determination of the group's tax
liability under this Act.
(f) The Department may promulgate regulations to permit
nonresident individual partners of the same partnership,
nonresident Subchapter S corporation shareholders of the same
Subchapter S corporation, and nonresident individuals
transacting an insurance business in Illinois under a Lloyds
plan of operation, and nonresident individual members of the
same limited liability company that is treated as a partnership
under Section 1501 (a)(16) of this Act, to file composite
individual income tax returns reflecting the composite income
of such individuals allocable to Illinois and to make composite
individual income tax payments. The Department may by
regulation also permit such composite returns to include the
income tax owed by Illinois residents attributable to their
income from partnerships, Subchapter S corporations, insurance
businesses organized under a Lloyds plan of operation, or
limited liability companies that are treated as partnership
under Section 1501(a)(16) of this Act, in which case such

HB3636 Enrolled - 100 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
Illinois residents will be permitted to claim credits on their
individual returns for their shares of the composite tax
payments. This paragraph of subsection (f) applies to taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 1987.
For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1999, the
Department may, by regulation, also permit any persons
transacting an insurance business organized under a Lloyds plan
of operation to file composite returns reflecting the income of
such persons allocable to Illinois and the tax rates applicable
to such persons under Section 201 and to make composite tax
payments and shall, by regulation, also provide that the income
and apportionment factors attributable to the transaction of an
insurance business organized under a Lloyds plan of operation
by any person joining in the filing of a composite return
shall, for purposes of allocating and apportioning income under
Article 3 of this Act and computing net income under Section
202 of this Act, be excluded from any other income and
apportionment factors of that person or of any unitary business
group, as defined in subdivision (a)(27) of Section 1501, to
which that person may belong.
For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2008,
every nonresident shall be allowed a credit against his or her
liability under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 for any
amount of tax reported on a composite return and paid on his or
her behalf under this subsection (f). Residents (other than
persons transacting an insurance business organized under a

HB3636 Enrolled - 101 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
Lloyds plan of operation) may claim a credit for taxes reported
on a composite return and paid on their behalf under this
subsection (f) only as permitted by the Department by rule.
(f-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
2008, the Department may adopt rules to provide that, when a
partnership or Subchapter S corporation has made an error in
determining the amount of any item of income, deduction,
addition, subtraction, or credit required to be reported on its
return that affects the liability imposed under this Act on a
partner or shareholder, the partnership or Subchapter S
corporation may report the changes in liabilities of its
partners or shareholders and claim a refund of the resulting
overpayments, or pay the resulting underpayments, on behalf of
its partners and shareholders.
(g) The Department may adopt rules to authorize the
electronic filing of any return required to be filed under this
Section.

(35 ILCS 5/911.1) (from Ch. 120, par. 9-911.1)
Sec. 911.1. If the Department withholds any refund due
under this Act because of any other liability to the State and
if the return for which such refund is due is a joint return
for a taxable year ending before December 31, 2009, the
taxpayer who jointly filed such return and who is not liable to
the State shall be entitled to that portion of the refund

Section;

Section 15. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section
10 as follows:
(35 ILCS 105/10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.10)
Sec. 10. Except as to motor vehicles, aircraft, watercraft,
and trailers, and except as to cigarettes as defined in the
Cigarette Use Tax, when tangible personal property is purchased
from a retailer for use in this State by a purchaser who did
not pay the tax imposed by this Act to the retailer, and who
does not file returns with the Department as a retailer under
Section 9 of this Act, such purchaser (by the last day of the
month following the calendar month in which such purchaser
makes any payment upon the selling price of such property)
shall, except as provided in this Section, file a return with
the Department and pay the tax upon that portion of the selling
price so paid by the purchaser during the preceding calendar
month. When tangible personal property, including but not
limited to motor vehicles and aircraft, is purchased by a
lessor, under a lease for one year or longer, executed or in
effect at the time of purchase to an interstate carrier for
hire, who did not pay the tax imposed by this Act to the
retailer, such lessor (by the last day of the month following
the calendar month in which such property reverts to the use of
such lessor) shall file a return with the Department and pay

HB3636 Enrolled - 108 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
the tax upon the fair market value of such property on the date
of such reversion. However, in determining the fair market
value at the time of reversion, the fair market value of such
property shall not exceed the original purchase price of the
property that was paid by the lessor at the time of purchase.
Such return shall be filed on a form prescribed by the
Department and shall contain such information as the Department
may reasonably require. Such return and payment from the
purchaser shall be submitted to the Department sooner than the
last day of the month after the month in which the purchase is
made to the extent that that may be necessary in order to
secure the title to a motor vehicle or the certificate of
registration for an aircraft. However, except as to motor
vehicles and aircraft, and except as to cigarettes as defined
in the Cigarette Use Tax Act, if the purchaser's annual use tax
liability does not exceed $600, the purchaser may file the
return on an annual basis on or before April 15th of the year
following the year use tax liability was incurred.
If cigarettes, as defined in the Cigarette Use Tax Act, are
purchased from a retailer for use in this State by a purchaser
who did not pay the tax imposed by this Act to the retailer,
and who does not file returns with the Department as a retailer
under Section 9 of this Act, such purchaser must, within 30
days after acquiring the cigarettes, file a return with the
Department and pay the tax upon that portion of the selling
price so paid by the purchaser for the cigarettes.

HB3636 Enrolled - 109 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
In addition with respect to motor vehicles, aircraft,
watercraft, and trailers, a purchaser of such tangible personal
property for use in this State, who purchases such tangible
personal property from an out-of-state retailer, shall file
with the Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied
by the Department, a return for each such item of tangible
personal property purchased, except that if, in the same
transaction, (i) a purchaser of motor vehicles, aircraft,
watercraft, or trailers who is a retailer of motor vehicles,
aircraft, watercraft, or trailers purchases more than one motor
vehicle, aircraft, watercraft, or trailer for the purpose of
resale or (ii) a purchaser of motor vehicles, aircraft,
watercraft, or trailers purchases more than one motor vehicle,
aircraft, watercraft, or trailer for use as qualifying rolling
stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then the
purchaser may report the purchase of all motor vehicles,
aircraft, watercraft, or trailers involved in that transaction
to the Department on a single return prescribed by the
Department. Such return in the case of motor vehicles and
aircraft must show the name and address of the seller, the
name, address of purchaser, the amount of the selling price
including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded in
property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such

HB3636 Enrolled - 110 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
tax due from the purchaser with respect to such transaction;
the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer
on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is
not due in that particular instance if that is claimed to be
the fact); the place and date of the sale, a sufficient
identification of the property sold, and such other information
as the Department may reasonably require.
Such return shall be filed not later than 30 days after
such motor vehicle or aircraft is brought into this State for
use.
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.
The return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from
the tax that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
that this procedure will expedite the processing of
applications for title or registration.
With each such return, the purchaser 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

HB3636 Enrolled - 111 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
or its agents, whereupon the Department shall issue, in the
purchaser's name, a tax receipt (or a certificate of exemption
if the Department is satisfied that the particular sale is tax
exempt) which such purchaser may submit to the agency with
which, or State officer with whom, he must title or register
the tangible personal property that is involved (if titling or
registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
title or registration to such tangible personal property.
When a purchaser pays a tax imposed by this Act directly to
the Department, the Department (upon request therefor from such
purchaser) shall issue an appropriate receipt to such purchaser
showing that he has paid such tax to the Department. Such
receipt shall be sufficient to relieve the purchaser from
further liability for the tax to which such receipt may refer.
A user who is liable to pay use tax directly to the
Department only occasionally and not on a frequently recurring
basis, and who is not required to file returns with the

Section 20. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by
changing Sections 55.8 and 55.10 as follows:
(415 ILCS 5/55.8) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1055.8)
Sec. 55.8. Tire retailers.
(a) Any person selling new or used tires at retail or
offering new or used tires for retail sale in this State shall:
(1) beginning on June 20, 2003 (the effective date of
Public Act 93-32), collect from retail customers a fee of
$2 per new or used tire sold and delivered in this State,
to be paid to the Department of Revenue and deposited into
the Used Tire Management Fund, less a collection allowance
of 10 cents per tire to be retained by the retail seller
and a collection allowance of 10 cents per tire to be
retained by the Department of Revenue and paid into the

HB3636 Enrolled - 113 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
General Revenue Fund; the collection allowance for retail
sellers, however, shall be allowed only if the return is
filed timely and only for the amount that is paid timely in
accordance with this Title XIV;
(1.5) beginning on July 1, 2003, collect from retail
customers an additional 50 cents per new or used tire sold
and delivered in this State; the money collected from this
fee shall be deposited into the Emergency Public Health
Fund;
(2) accept for recycling used tires from customers, at
the point of transfer, in a quantity equal to the number of
new tires purchased; and
(3) post in a conspicuous place a written notice at
least 8.5 by 11 inches in size that includes the universal
recycling symbol and the following statements: "DO NOT put
used tires in the trash."; "Recycle your used tires."; and
"State law requires us to accept used tires for recycling,
in exchange for new tires purchased.".
(b) A person who accepts used tires for recycling under
subsection (a) shall not allow the tires to accumulate for
periods of more than 90 days.
(c) The requirements of subsection (a) of this Section do
not apply to mail order sales nor shall the retail sale of a
motor vehicle be considered to be the sale of tires at retail
or offering of tires for retail sale. Instead of filing
returns, retailers of tires may remit the tire user fee of

HB3636 Enrolled - 114 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
$1.00 per tire to their suppliers of tires if the supplier of
tires is a registered retailer of tires and agrees or otherwise
arranges to collect and remit the tire fee to the Department of
Revenue, notwithstanding the fact that the sale of the tire is
a sale for resale and not a sale at retail. A tire supplier who
enters into such an arrangement with a tire retailer shall be
liable for the tax on all tires sold to the tire retailer and
must (i) provide the tire retailer with a receipt that
separately reflects the tire tax collected from the retailer on
each transaction and (ii) accept used tires for recycling from
the retailer's customers. The tire supplier shall be entitled
to the collection allowance of 10 cents per tire.
The retailer of the tires must maintain in its books and
records evidence that the appropriate fee was paid to the tire
supplier and that the tire supplier has agreed to remit the fee
to the Department of Revenue for each tire sold by the
retailer. Otherwise, the tire retailer shall be directly liable
for the fee on all tires sold at retail. Tire retailers paying
the fee to their suppliers are not entitled to the collection
allowance of 10 cents per tire.
(d) The requirements of subsection (a) of this Section
shall apply exclusively to tires to be used for vehicles
defined in Section 1-217 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, aircraft
tires, special mobile equipment, and implements of husbandry.
(e) The requirements of paragraph (1) of subsection (a) do
not apply to the sale of reprocessed tires. For purposes of

HB3636 Enrolled - 115 - LRB096 11653 HLH 22228 b
this Section, "reprocessed tire" means a used tire that has
been recapped, retreaded, or regrooved and that has not been
placed on a vehicle wheel rim.

(415 ILCS 5/55.10) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1055.10)
Sec. 55.10. Tax returns by retailer.

make a return to the Department of Revenue on a quarter annual

given year being due by April 30 of that year; with the return
for April, May and June of a given year being due by July 31 of

basis, with the return for January, February, and March of a
given year being due by April 20 of that year; with the return
for April, May, and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
that year; with the return for July, August, and September of a

given year being due by October 20 of that year; and with the
return for October, November, and December of a given year
being due by January 20 of the following year.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the
contrary, the return for October, November, and December of
2009 is due by February 20, 2010.
(b) Each return made to the Department of Revenue shall
state:
(1) the name of the retailer;
(2) the address of the retailer's principal place of
business, and the address of the principal place of
business (if that is a different address) from which the
retailer engages in the business of making retail sales of
tires;
(3) total number of tires sold at retail for the
preceding calendar quarter;
(4) the amount of tax due; and
(5) such other reasonable information as the
Department of Revenue may require.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act concerning
the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
case of any retailer who ceases to engage in the retail sale of
tires, the retailer shall file a final return under this Act
with the Department of Revenue not more than one month after
discontinuing that business.
