HB3872 Engrossed - 5 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b

HB3872 Engrossed - 7 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 amount equal to the bonus depreciation deduction taken
2 on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for the
3 taxable year under subsection (k) of Section 168 of the

HB3872 Engrossed - 8 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 member of the same unitary business group but for the
2 fact that foreign person's business activity outside
3 the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
4 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
5 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
6 who would be a member of the same unitary business
7 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
8 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
9 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
10 required to apportion business income under different
11 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
12 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
13 extent that dividends were included in base income of
14 the unitary group for the same taxable year and

16 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
17 included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964
18 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in

20 Code) with respect to the stock of the same person to
21 whom the interest was paid, accrued, or incurred.
22 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

HB3872 Engrossed - 9 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
2 with respect to such interest; or
3 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
4 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
5 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
6 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
7 following:
8 (a) the person, during the same taxable
9 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
10 to a person that is not a related member, and
11 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
12 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
13 person did not have as a principal purpose the
14 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
15 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
16 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
17 terms; or
18 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
19 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
20 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
21 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
22 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
23 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
24 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
25 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
26 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing

HB3872 Engrossed - 10 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
2 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
3 to the application or use of an alternative method
4 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
5 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6 Director from making any other adjustment
7 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
8 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
9 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
10 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
11 and such regulations provide methods and standards
12 by which the Department will utilize its authority
13 under Section 404 of this Act;
14 (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
15 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
16 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
17 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
18 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
19 foreign person who would be a member of the same
20 unitary business group but for the fact that the
21 foreign person's business activity outside the United
22 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
23 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
24 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
25 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
26 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)

HB3872 Engrossed - 11 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 from being included in the unitary business group
2 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
3 business income under different subsections of Section
4 304. The addition modification required by this
5 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
6 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
7 group for the same taxable year and received by the
8 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
9 business group (including amounts included in gross
10 income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
11 Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
12 Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
13 to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
14 expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
15 incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
16 apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
17 reduction to the addition modification required under
18 Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
19 subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
20 includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
21 related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
22 maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
23 or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
24 losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
25 factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
26 (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;

HB3872 Engrossed - 12 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
2 costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
3 property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
4 names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
5 works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
6 assets.
7 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
8 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
9 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
10 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
11 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
12 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
13 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
14 to such item; or
15 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
16 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
18 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
19 following:
20 (a) the person during the same taxable
21 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
22 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
23 not a related member, and
24 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
25 intangible expense or cost between the
26 taxpayer and the person did not have as a

HB3872 Engrossed - 13 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
2 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
3 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
4 or
5 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
6 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
7 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
8 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
9 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
10 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
11 writing to the application or use of an alternative
12 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
13 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
14 Director from making any other adjustment
15 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
16 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
17 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
18 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
19 and such regulations provide methods and standards
20 by which the Department will utilize its authority
21 under Section 404 of this Act;
22 (D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
23 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
24 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
25 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
26 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to

HB3872 Engrossed - 14 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
2 business group but for the fact that the person is
3 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
4 included in the unitary business group because he or
5 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
6 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
7 addition modification required by this subparagraph
8 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
9 included in base income of the unitary group for the
10 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
11 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
12 (including amounts included in gross income under
13 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
14 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
15 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
16 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
17 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
18 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
19 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
20 modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) or
21 Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this Act.
22 (D-20) For taxable years beginning on or after
23 January 1, 2002 and ending on or before December 31,

1 College Savings Pool created under Section 16.5 of the
2 State Treasurer Act or (ii) a distribution from the
3 Illinois Prepaid Tuition Trust Fund, an amount equal to
4 the amount excluded from gross income under Section
5 529(c)(3)(B). For taxable years beginning on or after
6 January 1, 2007, in the case of a distribution from a
7 qualified tuition program under Section 529 of the
8 Internal Revenue Code, other than (i) a distribution
9 from a College Savings Pool created under Section 16.5
10 of the State Treasurer Act, (ii) a distribution from
11 the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Trust Fund, or (iii) a
12 distribution from a qualified tuition program under
13 Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code that (I)
14 adopts and determines that its offering materials
15 comply with the College Savings Plans Network's
16 disclosure principles and (II) has made reasonable
17 efforts to inform in-state residents of the existence
18 of in-state qualified tuition programs by informing
19 Illinois residents directly and, where applicable, to
20 inform financial intermediaries distributing the
21 program to inform in-state residents of the existence
22 of in-state qualified tuition programs at least
23 annually, an amount equal to the amount excluded from
24 gross income under Section 529(c)(3)(B).
25 For the purposes of this subparagraph (D-20), a
26 qualified tuition program has made reasonable efforts

HB3872 Engrossed - 16 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 if it makes disclosures (which may use the term
2 "in-state program" or "in-state plan" and need not
3 specifically refer to Illinois or its qualified
4 programs by name) (i) directly to prospective
5 participants in its offering materials or makes a
6 public disclosure, such as a website posting; and (ii)
7 where applicable, to intermediaries selling the
8 out-of-state program in the same manner that the
9 out-of-state program distributes its offering
10 materials;
11 (D-21) For taxable years beginning on or after
12 January 1, 2007, in the case of transfer of moneys from
13 a qualified tuition program under Section 529 of the
14 Internal Revenue Code that is administered by the State
15 to an out-of-state program, an amount equal to the
16 amount of moneys previously deducted from base income
17 under subsection (a)(2)(Y) of this Section.
18 (D-25) For taxable years ending on or after
19 December 31, 2009, any deduction otherwise allowed for

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

HB3872 Engrossed - 35 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
2 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
3 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
4 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
5 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
6 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

8 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
9 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
10 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
11 to the application or use of an alternative method
12 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
13 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
14 Director from making any other adjustment
15 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
16 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
17 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
18 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
19 and such regulations provide methods and standards
20 by which the Department will utilize its authority
21 under Section 404 of this Act;
22 (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible

26 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a

HB3872 Engrossed - 36 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 foreign person who would be a member of the same
2 unitary business group but for the fact that the
3 foreign person's business activity outside the United
4 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
5 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
6 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
7 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
8 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
9 from being included in the unitary business group
10 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
11 business income under different subsections of Section
12 304. The addition modification required by this
13 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
14 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
15 group for the same taxable year and received by the
16 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
17 business group (including amounts included in gross
18 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the

20 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
21 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
22 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
23 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
24 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
25 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
26 modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of

1 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term

7 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
8 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
9 copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
10 similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
11 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
12 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
13 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
14 similar types of intangible assets.
15 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

17 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
18 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
19 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
20 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
21 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
22 to such item; or
23 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
24 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
25 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
26 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the

HB3872 Engrossed - 38 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 following:
2 (a) the person during the same taxable
3 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
4 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
5 not a related member, and
6 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
7 intangible expense or cost between the
8 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
9 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
10 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
11 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
12 or
13 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
14 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
15 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
16 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
17 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
18 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
19 writing to the application or use of an alternative
20 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
21 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
22 Director from making any other adjustment
23 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
24 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
25 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
26 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department

HB3872 Engrossed - 39 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b

2 by which the Department will utilize its authority

18 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
19 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
20 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
21 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
22 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
23 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
24 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
25 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
26 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing

HB3872 Engrossed - 58 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
2 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
3 to the application or use of an alternative method
4 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
5 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6 Director from making any other adjustment
7 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
8 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
9 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
10 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
11 and such regulations provide methods and standards
12 by which the Department will utilize its authority
13 under Section 404 of this Act;
14 (G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
15 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
16 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
17 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
18 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
19 foreign person who would be a member of the same
20 unitary business group but for the fact that the
21 foreign person's business activity outside the United
22 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
23 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
24 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
25 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
26 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)

HB3872 Engrossed - 59 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 from being included in the unitary business group
2 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
3 business income under different subsections of Section
4 304. The addition modification required by this
5 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
6 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
7 group for the same taxable year and received by the
8 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
9 business group (including amounts included in gross
10 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
11 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
12 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
13 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
14 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
15 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
16 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
17 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
18 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
19 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
20 "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
21 expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
22 direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
23 management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
24 disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
25 incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
26 transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,

HB3872 Engrossed - 60 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
2 fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
3 purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
4 includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
5 trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
6 trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
7 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
8 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
9 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
10 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
11 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
12 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
13 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
14 to such item; or
15 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
16 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
18 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
19 following:
20 (a) the person during the same taxable
21 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
22 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
23 not a related member, and
24 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
25 intangible expense or cost between the
26 taxpayer and the person did not have as a

HB3872 Engrossed - 61 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
2 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
3 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
4 or
5 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
6 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
7 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
8 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
9 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
10 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
11 writing to the application or use of an alternative
12 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
13 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
14 Director from making any other adjustment
15 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
16 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
17 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
18 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
19 and such regulations provide methods and standards
20 by which the Department will utilize its authority
21 under Section 404 of this Act;
22 (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
23 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
24 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
25 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
26 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to

HB3872 Engrossed - 62 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
2 business group but for the fact that the person is
3 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
4 included in the unitary business group because he or
5 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
6 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
7 addition modification required by this subparagraph
8 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
9 included in base income of the unitary group for the
10 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
11 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
12 (including amounts included in gross income under
13 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
14 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
15 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
16 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
17 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
18 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
19 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
20 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
21 Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act.
22 (G-15) For taxable years ending on or after
23 December 31, 2009, any deduction otherwise allowed for
24 the taxable year for compensation from which Illinois
25 income tax is required to be withheld under Article 7
26 of this Act, to the extent the required withholding

26 that, in the case of any statute of this State that

HB3872 Engrossed - 64 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 exempts income derived from bonds or other obligations
2 from the tax imposed under this Act, the amount
3 exempted shall be the interest net of bond premium
4 amortization;
5 (L) With the exception of any amounts subtracted
6 under subparagraph (K), an amount equal to the sum of
7 all amounts disallowed as deductions by (i) Sections
8 171(a) (2) and 265(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code,

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

HB3872 Engrossed - 74 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b

13 with respect to such interest; or
14 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

16 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
17 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
18 following:
19 (a) the person, during the same taxable
20 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
21 to a person that is not a related member, and
22 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
23 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
24 person did not have as a principal purpose the
25 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
26 pursuant to a contract or agreement that

HB3872 Engrossed - 75 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
2 terms; or
3 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
4 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
5 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
6 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
7 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
8 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
9 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
10 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
11 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
12 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
13 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
14 to the application or use of an alternative method
15 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
16 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
17 Director from making any other adjustment
18 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
19 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
20 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
21 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
22 and such regulations provide methods and standards
23 by which the Department will utilize its authority
24 under Section 404 of this Act; and
25 (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
26 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in

HB3872 Engrossed - 76 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
2 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
3 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
4 foreign person who would be a member of the same
5 unitary business group but for the fact that the
6 foreign person's business activity outside the United
7 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
8 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
9 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
10 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
11 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
12 from being included in the unitary business group
13 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
14 business income under different subsections of Section
15 304. The addition modification required by this
16 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
17 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
18 group for the same taxable year and received by the
19 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
20 business group (including amounts included in gross
21 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the

HB3872 Engrossed - 77 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
2 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
3 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
4 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
5 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
6 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or

8 ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
9 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
10 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
11 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and

17 similar types of intangible assets;
18 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
19 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
20 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
21 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
22 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
23 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
24 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
25 to such item; or
26 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost

HB3872 Engrossed - 78 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
2 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
3 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
4 following:
5 (a) the person during the same taxable
6 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
7 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
8 not a related member, and
9 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
10 intangible expense or cost between the
11 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
12 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
13 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
14 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
15 or
16 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
17 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
18 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
19 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
20 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
21 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
22 writing to the application or use of an alternative
23 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
24 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
25 Director from making any other adjustment
26 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

HB3872 Engrossed - 79 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 any tax year beginning after the effective date of

10 deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
11 accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
12 person who would be a member of the same unitary
13 business group but for the fact that the person is
14 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
15 included in the unitary business group because he or
16 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
17 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
18 addition modification required by this subparagraph
19 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
20 included in base income of the unitary group for the
21 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
22 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group

1 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
2 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
3 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
4 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition

8 trust, or estate is less than zero and addition
9 modifications, other than those provided by subparagraph
10 (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
11 subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
12 trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
13 addition modification must be made under those
14 subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
15 taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
16 applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
17 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
18 (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
19 Revenue Code.
20 (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
21 subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
22 federal income tax purposes shall mean:
23 (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
24 of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
25 by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
26 insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of

HB3872 Engrossed - 89 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b

16 (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
17 corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
18 corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
19 for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
20 taxable income determined as if such corporation had
21 filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
22 for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
23 for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
24 purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
25 taxable income shall be determined as if the election
26 provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue

HB3872 Engrossed - 90 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 Code had been in effect for all such years;
2 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
3 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
4 organization determined in accordance with the
5 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
6 Revenue Code;
7 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
8 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
9 an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
10 the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
11 corporation determined in accordance with Section
12 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
13 taxable income shall take into account those items
14 which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
15 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
16 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
17 a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
18 Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
19 instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
20 effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
21 corporation determined in accordance with the federal
22 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
23 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
24 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
25 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
26 income shall take into account those items which are

HB3872 Engrossed - 91 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
2 but which would be taken into account by an individual
3 in calculating his taxable income.
4 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
5 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
6 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
7 business has been classified as business income and in a
8 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
9 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
10 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
11 related to that asset or business that generated the
12 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
13 business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
14 or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
15 using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
16 for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
17 taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
18 computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
19 the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
20 taxable years.
21 (f) Valuation limitation amount.
22 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
23 referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
24 (d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
25 (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation

HB3872 Engrossed - 92 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
2 under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
3 Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
4 which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
5 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
6 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
7 capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
8 gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
9 the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
10 taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
11 such gain included in the amount determined under
12 subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
13 (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
14 (A) If the fair market value of property referred
15 to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
16 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
17 such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
18 fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
19 determining gain) for such property on that date
20 (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
21 effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
22 and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
23 respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
24 such property.
25 (B) If the fair market value of property referred
26 to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on

HB3872 Engrossed - 93 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
2 amount for such property is that amount which bears the
3 same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
4 property for federal income tax purposes for the
5 taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
6 that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
7 property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
8 full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
9 period for the property.
10 (C) The Department shall prescribe such
11 regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
12 purposes of this paragraph.
13 (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
14 otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
15 to be deducted more than once.
16 (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
17 this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
18 the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
19 account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
20 taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
21 year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
22 computation of base income and net income under this Act for
23 such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
24 August 1, 1969 or otherwise.

7 the taxpayer participated in the reportable transaction
8 and said deficiency is limited to the non-disclosed item.
9 (3) Withholding. If a person fails to report on a
10 return withholding in excess of 25% of the amount required
11 to be withheld under Article 7 of this Act and reported on
12 that return, a notice of deficiency may be issued not later
13 than 6 years after the return was filed.
14 (c) No return or fraudulent return.

17 this Act, a notice of deficiency may be issued at any time.
18 (2) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
19 2005, a notice of deficiency may be issued at any time if a

21 combined return under Section 502(e) of this Act fails to
22 file a return for that taxable year or fails to join in the
23 filing of a combined return for that taxable year. The

1 of the combined group resulting from the proper inclusion
2 of that corporation in the combined group.
3 (d) Failure to report federal change. If a taxpayer fails
4 to notify the Department in any case where notification is
5 required by Section 304(c) or 506(b), or fails to report a
6 change or correction which is treated in the same manner as if
7 it were a deficiency for federal income tax purposes, a notice
8 of deficiency may be issued (i) at any time or (ii) on or after
9 August 13, 1999, at any time for the taxable year for which the
10 notification is required or for any taxable year to which the
11 taxpayer may carry an Article 2 credit, or a Section 207 loss,
12 earned, incurred, or used in the year for which the
13 notification is required; provided, however, that the amount of
14 any proposed assessment set forth in the notice shall be
15 limited to the amount of any deficiency resulting under this
16 Act from the recomputation of the taxpayer's net income,
17 Article 2 credits, or Section 207 loss earned, incurred, or

25 time within 2 years after the date such notification is
26 given, provided, however, that the amount of any proposed

HB3872 Engrossed - 97 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 assessment set forth in such notice shall be limited to the
2 amount of any deficiency resulting under this Act from
3 recomputation of the taxpayer's net income, net loss, or
4 Article 2 credits for the taxable year after giving effect
5 to the item or items reflected in the reported alteration.
6 (2) On and after August 13, 1999, in any case where
7 notification of an alteration is given as required by
8 Section 506(b), a notice of deficiency may be issued at any
9 time within 2 years after the date such notification is
10 given for the taxable year for which the notification is
11 given or for any taxable year to which the taxpayer may

13 incurred, or used in the year for which the notification is
14 given, provided, however, that the amount of any proposed
15 assessment set forth in such notice shall be limited to the
16 amount of any deficiency resulting under this Act from
17 recomputation of the taxpayer's net income, Article 2
18 credits, or Section 207 loss earned, incurred, or used in
19 the taxable year for which the notification is given after
20 giving effect to the item or items reflected in the
21 reported alteration.
22 (f) Extension by agreement. Where, before the expiration of
23 the time prescribed in this Section for the issuance of a
24 notice of deficiency, both the Department and the taxpayer
25 shall have consented in writing to its issuance after such
26 time, such notice may be issued at any time prior to the

HB3872 Engrossed - 98 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 expiration of the period agreed upon. In the case of a taxpayer
2 who is a partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or trust and

4 this subsection on or after January 1, 2003, a notice of
5 deficiency may be issued to the partners, shareholders, or
6 beneficiaries of the taxpayer at any time prior to the
7 expiration of the period agreed upon. Any proposed assessment
8 set forth in the notice, however, shall be limited to the

17 an erroneous refund of tax payable under this Act, a notice of
18 deficiency may be issued at any time within 2 years from the
19 making of such refund, or within 5 years from the making of
20 such refund if it appears that any part of the refund was
21 induced by fraud or the misrepresentation of a material fact,
22 provided, however, that the amount of any proposed assessment
23 set forth in such notice shall be limited to the amount of such
24 erroneous refund.
25 Beginning July 1, 1993, in any case in which there has been
26 a refund of tax payable under this Act attributable to a net

HB3872 Engrossed - 99 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 loss carryback as provided for in Section 207, and that refund
2 is subsequently determined to be an erroneous refund due to a
3 reduction in the amount of the net loss which was originally
4 carried back, a notice of deficiency for the erroneous refund
5 amount may be issued at any time during the same time period in
6 which a notice of deficiency can be issued on the loss year
7 creating the carryback amount and subsequent erroneous refund.

22 prescribe) by the executor, administrator, or other fiduciary
23 representing the estate of such decedent, or by such
24 corporation, but not more than 3 years after the date the
25 return was filed. This subsection shall not apply in the case
26 of a corporation unless:

HB3872 Engrossed - 100 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 (1) (A) such written request notifies the Department
2 that the corporation contemplates dissolution at or before

26 attributable to a net loss carryback as provided by Section

HB3872 Engrossed - 106 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b

2 subsection (a), the period shall be that period which ends 3
3 years after the time prescribed by law for filing the return
4 (including extensions thereof) for the taxable year of the net
5 loss which results in such carryback (or, on and after August
6 13, 1999, with respect to a change in the carryover of an
7 Article 2 credit to a taxable year resulting from the carryback
8 of a Section 207 loss incurred in a taxable year beginning on

16 within 3 years of the due date (including extensions) of the
17 return for the loss year.
18 (i) Running of periods of limitation suspended while
19 taxpayer is unable to manage financial affairs due to
20 disability. In the case of an individual, the running of the

7 Section 20. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Sections
8 9 and 14 as follows:
9 (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
10 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
11 and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
12 of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
13 the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
14 amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
15 when he is required to file his return for the period during
16 which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
17 January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
18 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
19 reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
20 tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
21 the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. In the
22 case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
23 by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
24 discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead

HB3872 Engrossed - 109 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount
2 provided to retailers in this Section shall be allowed on a
3 return only if that retailer possessed a valid certificate of
4 registration issued under Section 6 of this Act or under
5 Section 2a of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act during the
6 entire reporting period for that return. A retailer need not
7 remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent that
8 he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the
9 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the
10 same property.
11 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
12 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
13 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
14 extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
15 filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
16 vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
17 to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
18 each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
19 the selling price actually received during such tax return
20 period.
21 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
22 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
23 a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
24 filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
25 such information as the Department may reasonably require.
26 The Department may require returns to be filed on a

HB3872 Engrossed - 110 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
2 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
3 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
4 taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
5 of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
6 the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
7 1. The name of the seller;
8 2. The address of the principal place of business from
9 which he engages in the business of selling tangible
10 personal property at retail in this State;
11 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
12 during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
13 personal property by him during such preceding calendar
14 month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
15 less all deductions allowed by law;
16 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
17 Act;
18 5. The amount of tax due;
19 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
20 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
21 may require.
22 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
23 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
24 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
25 due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
26 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average

HB3872 Engrossed - 111 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b

26 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments

HB3872 Engrossed - 112 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
2 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments

12 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
13 requirements of this Section.
14 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
15 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
16 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service
17 Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
18 calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
19 each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
20 month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
21 make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
22 22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
23 incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
24 average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
25 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
26 Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the

HB3872 Engrossed - 113 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
2 with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
3 next following the month during which such tax liability is
4 incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
5 the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
6 liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
7 liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
8 payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
9 actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
10 Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
11 of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
12 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
13 the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
14 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
15 after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
16 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
17 actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
18 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
19 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
20 or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
21 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
22 actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
23 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
24 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
25 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
26 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an

HB3872 Engrossed - 114 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
2 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
3 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
4 such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
5 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
6 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
7 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
8 calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
9 actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
10 amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
11 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
12 that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
13 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
14 Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
15 monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
16 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
17 liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
18 $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
19 the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
20 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
21 $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
22 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
23 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
24 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
25 will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
26 taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such

HB3872 Engrossed - 115 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
2 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
3 payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
4 average monthly liability to the Department during the
5 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
6 highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
7 than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
8 to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
9 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
10 $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
11 substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
12 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
13 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
14 will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
15 taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
16 taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
17 taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
18 seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
19 quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
20 amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
21 liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
22 minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
23 payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
24 taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
25 Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
26 provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable

HB3872 Engrossed - 116 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
2 amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
3 on other than a calendar monthly basis.
4 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
5 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
6 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
7 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
8 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
9 no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
10 memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
11 in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
12 taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
13 similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
14 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
15 in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
16 prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
17 payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
18 after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
19 unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
20 the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
21 liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
22 Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
23 the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
24 accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
25 the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
26 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the

HB3872 Engrossed - 117 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
2 be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
3 credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
4 liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
5 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
6 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
7 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
8 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
9 with the return for January, February, and March of a given
10 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
11 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
12 year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
13 year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
14 for October, November and December of a given year being due by
15 January 20 of the following year.
16 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
17 quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
18 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
19 may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
20 the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
21 following year.
22 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
23 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
24 returns.
25 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
26 the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the

HB3872 Engrossed - 118 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
2 which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
3 such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
4 Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
5 business.
6 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
7 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
8 an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
9 tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
10 upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
11 separate return for each such item of tangible personal
12 property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
13 transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
14 vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
15 watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
16 watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
17 of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
18 vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
19 watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
20 a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
21 Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
22 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
23 that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
24 invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
25 this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
26 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration

HB3872 Engrossed - 119 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
2 with an inboard motor.
3 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
4 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
5 agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
6 Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
7 Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
8 and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
9 including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
10 property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
11 traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
12 which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
13 of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
14 trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
15 tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
16 amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
17 such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
18 due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
19 fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
20 identification of the property sold; such other information as
21 is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
22 such other information as the Department may reasonably
23 require.
24 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
25 and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
26 name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling

HB3872 Engrossed - 120 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
2 traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
3 for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
4 extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
5 the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
6 deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
7 the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
8 transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
9 the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
10 such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
11 claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
12 sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
13 information as the Department may reasonably require.
14 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
15 than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
16 being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
17 than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
18 return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
19 that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
20 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
21 officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
22 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
23 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
24 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
25 applications for title or registration.
26 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer

HB3872 Engrossed - 121 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
2 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
3 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
4 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
5 (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
6 that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
7 may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
8 whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
9 that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
10 support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
11 certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
12 tangible personal property.
13 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
14 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
15 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
16 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
17 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
18 paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
19 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
20 mandate of this paragraph.
21 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
22 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
23 tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
24 retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
25 paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
26 of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department

HB3872 Engrossed - 122 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
2 the information required by the transaction reporting return
3 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
4 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
5 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
6 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
7 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
8 with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
9 provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
10 the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
11 same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
12 if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
13 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
14 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
15 the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
16 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
17 the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
18 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
19 his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
20 purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
21 refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
22 such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
23 Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
24 to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
25 such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
26 amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no

HB3872 Engrossed - 123 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
2 purchaser.
3 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
4 include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
5 covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
6 personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
7 but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
8 from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
9 remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
10 return.
11 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
12 Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
13 return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
14 returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
15 Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
16 Acts on the one form.
17 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
18 with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
19 such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
20 return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
21 separate returns for each such registered business.
22 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
23 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
24 fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net
25 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on
26 sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed off

HB3872 Engrossed - 124 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
2 soft drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate
3 consumption) and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
4 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
5 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
6 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
7 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the
8 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
9 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal property
10 which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer
11 and which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
12 government.
13 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
14 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
15 fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue realized for
16 the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling
17 price of tangible personal property, other than tangible
18 personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail
19 from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency
20 of this State's government.
21 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
22 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the
23 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
24 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
25 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
26 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue

HB3872 Engrossed - 125 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on
2 the selling price of tangible personal property which is
3 purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and which
4 is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
5 government.
6 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
7 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
8 Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
9 and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
10 Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
11 year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
12 may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required
13 to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to Section 3
14 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax
15 Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the
16 Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called
17 the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
18 may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act
19 Amount", and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
20 Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be
21 less than the Annual Specified Amount (as defined in Section 3
22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), an amount equal to the
23 difference shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois
24 Fund from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to
25 the Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the last
26 business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount

HB3872 Engrossed - 126 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account
2 in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the amount
3 transferred during such month to the Build Illinois Fund from
4 the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less
5 than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to
6 the difference shall be immediately paid into the Build
7 Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the Department
8 pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided, that in no
9 event shall the payments required under the preceding proviso
10 result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund
11 pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of
12 the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual
13 Specified Amount for such fiscal year; and, further provided,
14 that the amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under
15 this clause (b) shall be payable only until such time as the
16 aggregate amount on deposit under each trust indenture securing
17 Bonds issued and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois
18 Bond Act is sufficient, taking into account any future
19 investment income, to fully provide, in accordance with such
20 indenture, for the defeasance of or the payment of the
21 principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
22 secured by such indenture and on any Bonds expected to be
23 issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable with respect
24 thereto, all as certified by the Director of the Bureau of the
25 Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget). If on
26 the last business day of any month in which Bonds are

HB3872 Engrossed - 127 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the
2 aggregate of the moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond
3 Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less
4 than the amount required to be transferred in such month from
5 the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
6 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
7 Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
8 shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
9 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois Fund;
10 provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build Illinois
11 Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
12 deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the
13 preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount otherwise
14 payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b) of the
15 preceding sentence. The moneys received by the Department
16 pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the
17 Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and charge
18 set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond Act.
19 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
20 as provided in the preceding paragraph or in any amendment
21 thereto hereafter enacted, the following specified monthly
22 installment of the amount requested in the certificate of the
23 Chairman of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority

4 not in excess of the amount specified above as "Total Deposit",
5 has been deposited.
6 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
7 and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
8 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
9 enacted, beginning July 1, 1993, the Department shall each
10 month pay into the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of
11 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
12 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
13 property.
14 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
15 and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
16 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
17 enacted, beginning with the receipt of the first report of
18 taxes paid by an eligible business and continuing for a 25-year
19 period, the Department shall each month pay into the Energy
20 Infrastructure Fund 80% of the net revenue realized from the
21 6.25% general rate on the selling price of Illinois-mined coal
22 that was sold to an eligible business. For purposes of this
23 paragraph, the term "eligible business" means a new electric
24 generating facility certified pursuant to Section 605-332 of
25 the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law of the
26 Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.

1 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
2 pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the State
3 Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account and
4 used only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as part of
5 the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in

9 shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
10 the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
11 equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
12 for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
13 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
14 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
15 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
16 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
17 overpayment of liability.
18 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
19 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
20 Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
21 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
22 Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to such
23 sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make written
24 objection to the Department to this arrangement.

23 Section 25. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by changing
24 Sections 9 and 15 as follows:

HB3872 Engrossed - 136 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
2 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
3 the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
4 of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
5 is required to file his return for the period during which such
6 tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
7 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
8 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
9 serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping
10 records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and
11 supplying data to the Department on request. The discount
12 provided to retailers in this Section shall be allowed on a
13 return only if that retailer possessed a valid certificate of
14 registration issued under Section 6 of this Act or under
15 Section 2a of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act during the
16 entire reporting period for that return. A serviceman need not
17 remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent that
18 he is required to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the
19 Service Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of service
20 involving the incidental transfer by him of the same property.
21 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
22 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
23 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month
24 in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to be
25 promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed on a
26 form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such

HB3872 Engrossed - 137 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 information as the Department may reasonably require.
2 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
3 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
4 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
5 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
6 taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
7 of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
8 the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
9 1. The name of the seller;
10 2. The address of the principal place of business from
11 which he engages in business as a serviceman in this State;
12 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
13 during the preceding calendar month, including receipts
14 from charge and time sales, but less all deductions allowed
15 by law;
16 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
17 Act;
18 5. The amount of tax due;
19 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
20 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
21 may require.
22 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
23 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
24 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
25 due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
26 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average

HB3872 Engrossed - 138 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
2 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
3 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
4 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
5 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
6 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
7 an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
8 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
9 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
10 an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
11 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
12 funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
13 sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
14 other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
15 by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
16 The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
17 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
18 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
19 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
20 divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
21 a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
22 Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
23 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
24 funds transfer.
25 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
26 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments

HB3872 Engrossed - 139 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
2 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
3 for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
4 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
5 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
6 with the permission of the Department.
7 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
8 transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
9 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
10 in the manner authorized by the Department.
11 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
12 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
13 requirements of this Section.
14 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
15 return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
16 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
17 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
18 with the return for January, February and March of a given year
19 being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
20 May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
21 with the return for July, August and September of a given year
22 being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
23 October, November and December of a given year being due by
24 January 20 of the following year.
25 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
26 or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax

HB3872 Engrossed - 140 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
2 may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
3 the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
4 following year.
5 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
6 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
7 returns.
8 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
9 the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
10 case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
11 business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
12 this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
13 Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
14 discontinuing such business.
15 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
16 selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
17 thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
18 selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
19 also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
20 purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
21 refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
22 the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
23 any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
24 occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
25 to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
26 provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall

HB3872 Engrossed - 141 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 previously have been remitted to the Department by such
2 serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
3 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall be
4 entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to
5 the purchaser.
6 Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also include
7 the total tax upon the selling price of tangible personal
8 property purchased for use by him as an incident to a sale of
9 service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of such tax
10 to the Department when filing such return.
11 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
12 Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
13 return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
14 returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
15 Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
16 Acts on the one form.
17 Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
18 with the Department under separate registration hereunder,
19 such serviceman shall not file each return that is due as a
20 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
21 shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
22 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
23 pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special fund in
24 the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for the preceding
25 month from the 1% tax on sales of food for human consumption
26 which is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold

HB3872 Engrossed - 142 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which has
2 been prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
3 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
4 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used by
5 diabetics.
6 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
7 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 20% of the
8 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
9 general rate on transfers of tangible personal property, other
10 than tangible personal property which is purchased outside
11 Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is titled or
12 registered by an agency of this State's government.
13 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
14 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the
15 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
16 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
17 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
18 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
19 Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
20 and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
21 Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
22 year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
23 may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required
24 to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to Section 3
25 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax
26 Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the

HB3872 Engrossed - 143 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called
2 the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
3 may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act
4 Amount", and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
5 Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be
6 less than the Annual Specified Amount (as defined in Section 3
7 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), an amount equal to the
8 difference shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois
9 Fund from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to
10 the Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the last
11 business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount
12 required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account
13 in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the amount
14 transferred during such month to the Build Illinois Fund from
15 the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less
16 than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to
17 the difference shall be immediately paid into the Build
18 Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the Department
19 pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided, that in no
20 event shall the payments required under the preceding proviso
21 result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund
22 pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of
23 the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual
24 Specified Amount for such fiscal year; and, further provided,
25 that the amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under
26 this clause (b) shall be payable only until such time as the

HB3872 Engrossed - 144 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 aggregate amount on deposit under each trust indenture securing

4 investment income, to fully provide, in accordance with such
5 indenture, for the defeasance of or the payment of the
6 principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
7 secured by such indenture and on any Bonds expected to be
8 issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable with respect
9 thereto, all as certified by the Director of the Bureau of the
10 Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget). If on
11 the last business day of any month in which Bonds are
12 outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the
13 aggregate of the moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond
14 Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less
15 than the amount required to be transferred in such month from
16 the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
17 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
18 Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
19 shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
20 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois Fund;
21 provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build Illinois
22 Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
23 deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the
24 preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount otherwise
25 payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b) of the
26 preceding sentence. The moneys received by the Department

11 expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
12 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
13 data to the Department on request. The discount provided to

15 that retailer possessed a valid certificate of registration
16 issued under Section 6 of this Act or under Section 2a of the
17 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act during the entire reporting
18 period for that return.
19 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
20 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
21 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
22 extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
23 filed, the serviceman, in collecting the tax may collect, for
24 each tax return period, only the tax applicable to the part of
25 the selling price actually received during such tax return

HB3872 Engrossed - 154 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 period.
2 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
3 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
4 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month
5 in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
6 promulgated by the Department of Revenue. Such return shall be
7 filed on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain
8 such information as the Department may reasonably require.
9 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
10 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
11 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
12 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
13 taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
14 of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
15 the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
16 1. The name of the seller;
17 2. The address of the principal place of business from
18 which he engages in business as a serviceman in this State;
19 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him

22 by law;
23 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
24 Act;
25 5. The amount of tax due;
26 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and

3 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
4 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
5 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
6 due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
7 Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1,
8 2004 a serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
9 certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
10 Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
11 the purchaser provides the appropriate documentation as
12 required by Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act. A

14 to October 1, 2003 or on or after September 1, 2004 by a
15 serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
16 Act, may be used by that serviceman to satisfy Service
17 Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in the
18 certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
19 tax from a qualifying purchase. A Manufacturer's Purchase
20 Credit reported on any original or amended return filed under
21 this Act after October 20, 2003 for reporting periods prior to
22 September 1, 2004 shall be disallowed. Manufacturer's Purchase
23 Credit reported on annual returns due on or after January 1,
24 2005 will be disallowed for periods prior to September 1, 2004.
25 No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used after September

2 If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
3 Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
4 his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
5 return for January, February and March of a given year being
6 due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May
7 and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year; with

13 Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
14 his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return for
15 a given year being due by January 20 of the following year.
16 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
17 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
18 returns.
19 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
20 the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
21 case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
22 business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
23 this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
24 Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
25 discontinuing such business.
26 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average

5 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
6 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
7 an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
8 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
9 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
10 an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
11 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
12 funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
13 sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
14 other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
15 by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
16 The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
17 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
18 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
19 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
20 divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
21 a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
22 Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
23 all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
24 funds transfer.
25 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
26 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments

HB3872 Engrossed - 158 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
2 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
3 for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
4 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
5 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
6 with the permission of the Department.
7 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
8 transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make

10 in the manner authorized by the Department.
11 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
12 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
13 requirements of this Section.
14 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
15 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
16 the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
17 property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
18 to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
19 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
20 his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
21 purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the tax so
22 refunded by him to the purchaser from any other Service
23 Occupation Tax, Service Use Tax, Retailers' Occupation Tax or
24 Use Tax which such serviceman may be required to pay or remit
25 to the Department, as shown by such return, provided that the
26 amount of the tax to be deducted shall previously have been

HB3872 Engrossed - 159 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 remitted to the Department by such serviceman. If the
2 serviceman shall not previously have remitted the amount of
3 such tax to the Department, he shall be entitled to no
4 deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
5 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
6 Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
7 return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
8 returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
9 Act, the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, to furnish all

11 form.
12 Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
13 with the Department under separate registrations hereunder,
14 such serviceman shall file separate returns for each registered
15 business.
16 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
17 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund the revenue realized for
18 the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of food for human

20 is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
21 which has been prepared for immediate consumption) and
22 prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical
23 appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
24 needles used by diabetics.
25 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
26 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the

16 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
17 Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
18 and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the

1but not after fiscal year 2042.
2 Beginning July 20, 1993 and in each month of each fiscal
3 year thereafter, one-eighth of the amount requested in the
4 certificate of the Chairman of the Metropolitan Pier and
5 Exposition Authority for that fiscal year, less the amount
6 deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund by
7 the State Treasurer in the respective month under subsection
8 (g) of Section 13 of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition
9 Authority Act, plus cumulative deficiencies in the deposits
10 required under this Section for previous months and years,
11 shall be deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project
12 Fund, until the full amount requested for the fiscal year, but
13 not in excess of the amount specified above as "Total Deposit",
14 has been deposited.
15 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
16 and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
17 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
18 enacted, beginning July 1, 1993, the Department shall each
19 month pay into the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of
20 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
21 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
22 property.
23 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
24 and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
25 preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
26 enacted, beginning with the receipt of the first report of

HB3872 Engrossed - 166 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 taxes paid by an eligible business and continuing for a 25-year
2 period, the Department shall each month pay into the Energy
3 Infrastructure Fund 80% of the net revenue realized from the
4 6.25% general rate on the selling price of Illinois-mined coal
5 that was sold to an eligible business. For purposes of this
6 paragraph, the term "eligible business" means a new electric
7 generating facility certified pursuant to Section 605-332 of
8 the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law of the
9 Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
10 Remaining moneys received by the Department pursuant to
11 this Act shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund of the
12 State Treasury.
13 The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
14 taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
15 Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
16 less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
17 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
18 Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
19 of gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last Federal
20 income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
21 reported in the Federal income tax return do not agree with the
22 gross receipts reported to the Department of Revenue for the
23 same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his annual return a
24 schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
25 reasons for the difference. The taxpayer's annual return to the
26 Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by the

HB3872 Engrossed - 167 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 taxpayer during the year covered by such return, opening and
2 closing inventories of such goods for such year, cost of goods
3 used from stock or taken from stock and given away by the
4 taxpayer during such year, pay roll information of the
5 taxpayer's business during such year and any additional
6 reasonable information which the Department deems would be
7 helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly
8 or annual returns filed by such taxpayer as hereinbefore
9 provided for in this Section.
10 If the annual information return required by this Section
11 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable
12 as follows:
13 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be liable
14 for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such
15 taxpayer under this Act during the period to be covered by
16 the annual return for each month or fraction of a month
17 until such return is filed as required, the penalty to be
18 assessed and collected in the same manner as any other
19 penalty provided for in this Act.
20 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
21 be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
22 Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
23 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
24 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
25 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
26 willfully signs the annual return containing false or

HB3872 Engrossed - 168 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
2 accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
3 Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
4 return may be liable for perjury.
5 The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the filing
6 of an annual information return shall not apply to a serviceman
7 who is not required to file an income tax return with the
8 United States Government.
9 As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon
10 certification of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller
11 shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
12 the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
13 equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
14 for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
15 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
16 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
17 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
18 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
19 overpayment of liability.
20 For greater simplicity of administration, it shall be
21 permissible for manufacturers, importers and wholesalers whose
22 products are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois, and who
23 wish to do so, to assume the responsibility for accounting and
24 paying to the Department all tax accruing under this Act with
25 respect to such sales, if the servicemen who are affected do
26 not make written objection to the Department to this

5 Sec. 15. When the amount due is under $300, any person
6 subject to the provisions hereof who fails to file a return, or
7 who violates any other provision of Section 9 or Section 10
8 hereof, or who fails to keep books and records as required
9 herein, or who files a fraudulent return, or who wilfully
10 violates any Rule or Regulation of the Department for the
11 administration and enforcement of the provisions hereof, or any
12 officer or agent of a corporation, or manager, member, or agent
13 of a limited liability company, subject hereto who signs a
14 fraudulent return filed on behalf of such corporation or
15 limited liability company, or any accountant or other agent who
16 knowingly enters false information on the return of any
17 taxpayer under this Act, or any person who violates any of the
18 provisions of Sections 3, 5 or 7 hereof, or any purchaser who
19 obtains a registration number or resale number from the
20 Department through misrepresentation, or who represents to a
21 seller that such purchaser has a registration number or a
22 resale number from the Department when he knows that he does
23 not, or who uses his registration number or resale number to
24 make a seller believe that he is buying tangible personal
25 property for resale when such purchaser in fact knows that this

HB3872 Engrossed - 170 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 is not the case, is guilty of a Class 4 felony.
2 Any person who violates any provision of Section 6 hereof,
3 or who engages in the business of making sales of service after
4 his Certificate of Registration under this Act has been revoked
5 in accordance with Section 12 of this Act, is guilty of a Class
6 4 felony. Each day any such person is engaged in business in
7 violation of Section 6, or after his Certificate of
8 Registration under this Act has been revoked, constitutes a
9 separate offense.
10 When the amount due is under $300, any person who accepts
11 money that is due to the Department under this Act from a
12 taxpayer for the purpose of acting as the taxpayer's agent to
13 make the payment to the Department, but who fails to remit such
14 payment to the Department when due is guilty of a Class 4
15 felony. Any such person who purports to make such payment by
16 issuing or delivering a check or other order upon a real or
17 fictitious depository for the payment of money, knowing that it
18 will not be paid by the depository, shall be guilty of a
19 deceptive practice in violation of Section 17-1 of the Criminal
20 Code of 1961, as amended.
21 When the amount due is $300 or more, any person subject to
22 the provisions hereof who fails to file a return, or who
23 violates any other provision of Section 9 or Section 10 hereof,

1 enforcement of the provisions hereof, or any officer or agent
2 of a corporation, or manager, member, or agent of a limited
3 liability company, subject hereto who signs a fraudulent return

8 5 or 7 hereof, or any purchaser who obtains a registration
9 number or resale number from the Department through
10 misrepresentation, or who represents to a seller that such
11 purchaser has a registration number or a resale number from the
12 Department when he knows that he does not, or who uses his
13 registration number or resale number to make a seller believe
14 that he is buying tangible personal property for resale when
15 such purchaser in fact knows that this is not the case, is
16 guilty of a Class 3 felony.
17 When the amount due is $300 or more, any person who accepts
18 money that is due to the Department under this Act from a
19 taxpayer for the purpose of acting as the taxpayer's agent to
20 make the payment to the Department but who fails to remit such
21 payment to the Department when due is guilty of a Class 3
22 felony. Any such person who purports to make such payment by
23 issuing or delivering a check or other order upon a real or
24 fictitious depository for the payment of money, knowing that it
25 will not be paid by the depository shall be guilty of a
26 deceptive practice in violation of Section 17-1 of the Criminal

HB3872 Engrossed - 172 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 Code of 1961, as amended.
2 Any serviceman who collects or attempts to collect Service
3 Occupation Tax, measured by receipts which such serviceman
4 knows are not subject to Service Occupation Tax, or any
5 serviceman who collects or attempts to collect an amount
6 (however designated) which purports to reimburse such
7 serviceman for Service Occupation Tax liability measured by
8 receipts or selling prices which such serviceman knows are not
9 subject to Service Occupation Tax, or any serviceman who
10 knowingly over-collects or attempts to over-collect Service
11 Occupation Tax or an amount purporting to be reimbursement for
12 Service Occupation Tax liability in a transaction which is
13 subject to the tax that is imposed by this Act, shall be guilty
14 of a Class 4 felony for each such offense. This paragraph does
15 not apply to an amount collected by the serviceman as
16 reimbursement for the serviceman's Service Occupation Tax
17 liability on receipts or selling prices which are subject to
18 tax under this Act, as long as such collection is made in
19 compliance with the tax collection brackets prescribed by the
20 Department in its Rules and Regulations.

22 be commenced at any time within 6 3 years of the commission of

15 due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
16 Each return shall be accompanied by the statement of
17 prepaid tax issued pursuant to Section 2e for which credit is
18 claimed.
19 Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1,
20 2004 a retailer may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
21 certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax as
22 provided in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the purchaser
23 provides the appropriate documentation as required by Section
24 3-85 of the Use Tax Act. A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit

26 and on and after September 1, 2004 as provided in Section 3-85

HB3872 Engrossed - 175 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 of the Use Tax Act, may be used by that retailer to satisfy
2 Retailers' Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in
3 the certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject
4 to tax from a qualifying purchase. A Manufacturer's Purchase

13 audit liability.
14 The Department may require returns to be filed on a

16 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
17 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
18 taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
19 of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before

20 of this paragraph. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term
21 "alcoholic liquor" shall have the meaning prescribed in the
22 Liquor Control Act of 1934.
23 Beginning on October 1, 2003, every distributor, importing

15 sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
16 other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered

18 The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of
19 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
20 State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
21 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
22 divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
23 a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
24 Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make

HB3872 Engrossed - 179 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
2 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
3 by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
4 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
5 for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
6 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
7 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
8 with the permission of the Department.
9 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
10 transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
11 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
12 in the manner authorized by the Department.
13 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
14 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
15 requirements of this Section.
16 Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any
17 return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
18 is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest
19 whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a
20 dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest
21 whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is
22 less than 50 cents.
23 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
24 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
25 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
26 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,

HB3872 Engrossed - 180 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 with the return for January, February and March of a given year
2 being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
3 May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
4 with the return for July, August and September of a given year
5 being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
6 October, November and December of a given year being due by
7 January 20 of the following year.
8 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
9 quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
10 liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
11 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
12 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
13 of the following year.
14 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
15 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
16 returns.
17 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
18 the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
19 case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
20 which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
21 such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
22 Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
23 business.
24 Where the same person has more than one business registered
25 with the Department under separate registrations under this
26 Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a

HB3872 Engrossed - 181 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
2 shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
3 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
4 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
5 an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
6 tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
7 upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
8 separate return for each such item of tangible personal
9 property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
10 transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
11 vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
12 watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
13 watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
14 purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
15 motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
16 watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
17 a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
18 Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
19 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
20 transaction to the Department on the same uniform
21 invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
22 this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
23 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
24 and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
25 with an inboard motor.
26 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,

HB3872 Engrossed - 182 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
2 an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
3 liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
4 transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
5 to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
6 quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
7 to file returns on an annual basis.
8 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
9 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
10 agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
11 Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle
12 Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
13 and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
14 including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
15 property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
16 traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
17 which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
18 of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
19 trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
20 tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
21 amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
22 such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
23 due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
24 fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
25 identification of the property sold; such other information as
26 is required in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and

HB3872 Engrossed - 183 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 such other information as the Department may reasonably
2 require.
3 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
4 or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
5 name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
6 price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
7 traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
8 for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
9 extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
10 the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
11 deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
12 the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
13 transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
14 the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
15 such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
16 claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
17 sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
18 information as the Department may reasonably require.
19 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
20 than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
21 being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
22 than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
23 return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
24 Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
25 the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
26 tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if

HB3872 Engrossed - 184 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
2 agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
3 expedite the processing of applications for title or
4 registration.
5 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
6 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
7 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
8 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
9 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
10 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
11 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
12 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
13 with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
14 property that is involved (if titling or registration is
15 required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
16 Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
17 to such tangible personal property.
18 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
19 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
20 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
21 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
22 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
23 paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
24 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
25 mandate of this paragraph.
26 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer

HB3872 Engrossed - 185 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
2 the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
3 retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
4 paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
5 of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
6 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
7 the information required by the transaction reporting return
8 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
9 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
10 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
11 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
12 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
13 with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
14 provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
15 the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
16 same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
17 if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
18 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
19 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
20 returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
21 subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
22 may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
23 receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
24 return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
25 with respect to such receipts.
26 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on

HB3872 Engrossed - 186 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
2 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
3 accredited agent of such corporation.
4 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
5 filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
6 signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
7 the limited liability company.
8 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
9 return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
10 return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
11 Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
12 on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
13 whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
14 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
15 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
16 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
17 to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
18 which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
19 retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
20 transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
21 shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
22 such retailer files his periodic return. The discount provided
23 to retailers in this Section shall be allowed on a return only
24 if that retailer possessed a valid certificate of registration
25 issued under Section 2a of this Act during the entire reporting
26 period for that return.

HB3872 Engrossed - 187 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
2 tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
3 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
4 Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
5 remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
6 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
7 shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
8 day of the month next following the month during which such tax
9 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
10 on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
11 during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
12 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
13 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
14 Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
15 liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
16 with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
17 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
18 with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
19 next following the month during which such tax liability is
20 incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
21 the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
22 liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
23 liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
24 payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
25 actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
26 Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability

HB3872 Engrossed - 188 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
2 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
3 the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
4 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
5 after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
6 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
7 actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
8 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
9 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
10 or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
11 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
12 actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
13 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
14 the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
15 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
16 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
17 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
18 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
19 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
20 such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
21 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
22 amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
23 the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
24 calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
25 actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
26 amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited

HB3872 Engrossed - 189 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
2 that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
3 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
4 Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
5 of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
6 shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
7 to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
8 quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
9 month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
10 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
11 computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
12 calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
13 taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
14 the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
15 to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
16 reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
17 threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
18 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
19 and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
20 the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
21 taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
22 more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
23 until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
24 Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
25 (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
26 lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's

HB3872 Engrossed - 190 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
2 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
3 quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
4 show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
5 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
6 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
7 foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
8 above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
9 change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
10 shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
11 that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
12 long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
13 the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
14 taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
15 difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
16 amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
17 paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
18 payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
19 minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
20 The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
21 govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
22 payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
23 monthly basis.
24 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
25 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
26 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who

HB3872 Engrossed - 191 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
2 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
3 excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
4 calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
5 required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
6 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
7 month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
8 during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to the
9 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment
10 shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's
11 actual liability under Section 2d. If the month during which
12 such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
13 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
14 taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
15 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
16 preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
17 liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
18 payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
19 actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
20 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
21 The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
22 against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
23 that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
24 may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
25 quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
26 paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly

HB3872 Engrossed - 192 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
2 calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
3 monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
4 required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
5 interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
6 previously made payments for that month in excess of the
7 minimum payments previously due.
8 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
9 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
10 make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
11 who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
12 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
13 excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
14 calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
15 required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
16 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
17 month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
18 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
19 liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
20 the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
21 the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
22 final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
23 filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
24 Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
25 monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
26 shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax

HB3872 Engrossed - 193 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
2 (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
3 lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
4 average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
5 each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
6 quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
7 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
8 taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
9 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
10 payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
11 previously due.
12 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
13 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
14 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
15 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
16 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
17 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
18 credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
19 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
20 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
21 in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
22 prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
23 taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
24 subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
25 the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
26 Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and

HB3872 Engrossed - 194 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
2 subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
3 taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
4 and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
5 of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
6 due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
7 interest on such difference.
8 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
9 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
10 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
11 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
12 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
13 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
14 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the
15 State treasury which is hereby created, the net revenue
16 realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of
17 food for human consumption which is to be consumed off the
18 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft
19 drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate
20 consumption) and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
21 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
22 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
23 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
24 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a special
25 fund in the State treasury which is hereby created, 4% of the
26 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%

HB3872 Engrossed - 195 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 general rate.
2 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
3 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the
4 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
5 rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
6 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
7 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue
8 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on
9 the selling price of tangible personal property.
10 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
11 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue
12 realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the
13 selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
14 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
15 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
16 Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
17 and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
18 Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
19 year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
20 may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required
21 to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this Act,
22 Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax
23 Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts
24 being hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of
25 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter

22 Amount required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond
23 Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2)
24 the amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the

5 aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
6 this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater of
7 (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount for
8 such fiscal year. The amounts payable into the Build Illinois
9 Fund under clause (b) of the first sentence in this paragraph
10 shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
11 on deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued and
12 outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
13 sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
14 to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the

16 any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and on
17 any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees and
18 costs payable with respect thereto, all as certified by the
19 Director of the Bureau of the Budget (now Governor's Office of

21 month in which Bonds are outstanding pursuant to the Build
22 Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of moneys deposited in the
23 Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such
24 month shall be less than the amount required to be transferred
25 in such month from the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build
26 Illinois Bond Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section

HB3872 Engrossed - 198 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such
2 deficiency shall be immediately paid from other moneys received
3 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build
4 Illinois Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the
5 Build Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this
6 sentence shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to
7 clause (b) of the first sentence of this paragraph and shall
8 reduce the amount otherwise payable for such fiscal year
9 pursuant to that clause (b). The moneys received by the
10 Department pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited
11 into the Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim
12 and charge set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond

7 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
8 Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement

10 income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
11 reported in the Federal income tax return do not agree with the

12 Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
13 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
14 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the

17 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
18 accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
19 Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
20 return may be liable for perjury.
21 The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an
22 annual information return do not apply to a retailer who is not

6 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
7 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
8 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
9 overpayment of liability.
10 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
11 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
12 Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
13 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
14 Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to such

13 Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
14 the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
15 payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
16 impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
17 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
18 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
19 that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
20 who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
21 business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
22 exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of
23 loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall notify
24 concessionaires and other sellers affected by the imposition of

18 by changing Section 3-3 as follows:
19 (35 ILCS 735/3-3) (from Ch. 120, par. 2603-3)
20 Sec. 3-3. Penalty for failure to file or pay.
21 (a) This subsection (a) is applicable before January 1,
22 1996. A penalty of 5% of the tax required to be shown due on a
23 return shall be imposed for failure to file the tax return on
24 or before the due date prescribed for filing determined with

HB3872 Engrossed - 211 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 regard for any extension of time for filing (penalty for late
2 filing or nonfiling). If any unprocessable return is corrected
3 and filed within 21 days after notice by the Department, the
4 late filing or nonfiling penalty shall not apply. If a penalty
5 for late filing or nonfiling is imposed in addition to a
6 penalty for late payment, the total penalty due shall be the
7 sum of the late filing penalty and the applicable late payment
8 penalty. Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act
9 of 1995, in the case of any type of tax return required to be
10 filed more frequently than annually, when the failure to file
11 the tax return on or before the date prescribed for filing
12 (including any extensions) is shown to be nonfraudulent and has
13 not occurred in the 2 years immediately preceding the failure
14 to file on the prescribed due date, the penalty imposed by
15 Section 3-3(a) shall be abated.
16 (a-5) This subsection (a-5) is applicable to returns due on
17 and after January 1, 1996 and on or before December 31, 2000. A
18 penalty equal to 2% of the tax required to be shown due on a
19 return, up to a maximum amount of $250, determined without
20 regard to any part of the tax that is paid on time or by any
21 credit that was properly allowable on the date the return was
22 required to be filed, shall be imposed for failure to file the
23 tax return on or before the due date prescribed for filing
24 determined with regard for any extension of time for filing.
25 However, if any return is not filed within 30 days after notice
26 of nonfiling mailed by the Department to the last known address

HB3872 Engrossed - 212 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b

2 penalty amount shall be imposed equal to the greater of $250 or
3 2% of the tax shown on the return. However, the additional
4 penalty amount may not exceed $5,000 and is determined without
5 regard to any part of the tax that is paid on time or by any
6 credit that was properly allowable on the date the return was
7 required to be filed (penalty for late filing or nonfiling). If
8 any unprocessable return is corrected and filed within 30 days
9 after notice by the Department, the late filing or nonfiling
10 penalty shall not apply. If a penalty for late filing or
11 nonfiling is imposed in addition to a penalty for late payment,
12 the total penalty due shall be the sum of the late filing
13 penalty and the applicable late payment penalty. In the case of
14 any type of tax return required to be filed more frequently
15 than annually, when the failure to file the tax return on or
16 before the date prescribed for filing (including any
17 extensions) is shown to be nonfraudulent and has not occurred

19 prescribed due date, the penalty imposed by Section 3-3(a-5)
20 shall be abated.
21 (a-10) This subsection (a-10) is applicable to returns due

25 that was properly allowable on the date the return was required

1 return on or before the due date prescribed for filing
2 determined with regard for any extension of time for filing.
3 However, if any return is not filed within 30 days after notice
4 of nonfiling mailed by the Department to the last known address
5 of the taxpayer contained in Department records, an additional
6 penalty amount shall be imposed equal to the greater of $250 or

8 penalty amount may not exceed $5,000 and is determined without
9 regard to any part of the tax that is paid on time or by any
10 credit that was properly allowable on the date the return was
11 required to be filed (penalty for late filing or nonfiling). If
12 any unprocessable return is corrected and filed within 30 days
13 after notice by the Department, the late filing or nonfiling
14 penalty shall not apply. If a penalty for late filing or
15 nonfiling is imposed in addition to a penalty for late payment,
16 the total penalty due shall be the sum of the late filing
17 penalty and the applicable late payment penalty. In the case of
18 any type of tax return required to be filed more frequently
19 than annually, when the failure to file the tax return on or
20 before the date prescribed for filing (including any
21 extensions) is shown to be nonfraudulent and has not occurred

3 Section 9 of the Use Tax Act on or before the date a return is
4 required to be filed. This penalty shall be imposed regardless
5 of whether the return when properly prepared and filed would
6 result in the imposition of a tax.
7 (b) This subsection is applicable before January 1, 1998. A
8 penalty of 15% of the tax shown on the return or the tax
9 required to be shown due on the return shall be imposed for
10 failure to pay:
11 (1) the tax shown due on the return on or before the

5 at the expiration of the period provided for the filing of
6 a protest.
7 (b-5) This subsection is applicable to returns due on and

11 of a final assessment arising following a protest and
12 hearing, the 30-day period shall not begin until all
13 proceedings in court for review of the final assessment
14 have terminated or the period for obtaining a review has
15 expired without proceedings for a review having been
16 instituted. The amount of penalty imposed under this
17 subsection (b-10)(2) shall be 20% of any amount that is not
18 paid within the 30-day period. In the case of a notice of
19 tax liability that becomes a final assessment without a
20 protest and hearing, the penalty provided in this
21 subsection (b-10)(2) shall be imposed at the expiration of
22 the period provided for the filing of a protest.
23 (b-15) This subsection (b-15) is applicable to returns due
24 on and after January 1, 2004 and on or before December 31,

26 shown due or required to be shown due on a return on or before

HB3872 Engrossed - 218 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 the due date prescribed for payment of that tax, an amount of
2 underpayment of estimated tax, or an amount that is reported in
3 an amended return other than an amended return timely filed as
4 required by subsection (b) of Section 506 of the Illinois
5 Income Tax Act (penalty for late payment or nonpayment of
6 admitted liability). The amount of penalty imposed under this
7 subsection (b-15)(1) shall be 2% of any amount that is paid no
8 later than 30 days after the due date, 10% of any amount that
9 is paid later than 30 days after the due date and not later
10 than 90 days after the due date, 15% of any amount that is paid
11 later than 90 days after the due date and not later than 180
12 days after the due date, and 20% of any amount that is paid
13 later than 180 days after the due date. If notice and demand is
14 made for the payment of any amount of tax due and if the amount
15 due is paid within 30 days after the date of this notice and
16 demand, then the penalty for late payment or nonpayment of
17 admitted liability under this subsection (b-15)(1) on the
18 amount so paid shall not accrue for the period after the date
19 of the notice and demand.
20 (b-20) This subsection (b-20) is applicable to returns due
21 on and after January 1, 2005.
22 (1) A penalty shall be imposed for failure to pay,
23 prior to the due date for payment, any amount of tax the
24 payment of which is required to be made prior to the filing
25 of a return or without a return (penalty for late payment
26 or nonpayment of estimated or accelerated tax). The amount

HB3872 Engrossed - 219 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 of penalty imposed under this paragraph (1) shall be 2% of
2 any amount that is paid no later than 30 days after the due
3 date and 10% of any amount that is paid later than 30 days
4 after the due date.
5 (2) A penalty shall be imposed for failure to pay the
6 tax shown due or required to be shown due on a return on or
7 before the due date prescribed for payment of that tax or
8 an amount that is reported in an amended return other than
9 an amended return timely filed as required by subsection
10 (b) of Section 506 of the Illinois Income Tax Act (penalty
11 for late payment or nonpayment of tax). The amount of
12 penalty imposed under this paragraph (2) shall be 2% of any
13 amount that is paid no later than 30 days after the due
14 date, 10% of any amount that is paid later than 30 days
15 after the due date and prior to the date the Department has
16 initiated an audit or investigation of the taxpayer, and
17 20% of any amount that is paid after the date the
18 Department has initiated an audit or investigation of the
19 taxpayer; provided that the penalty shall be reduced to 15%
20 if the entire amount due is paid not later than 30 days
21 after the Department has provided the taxpayer with an
22 amended return (following completion of an occupation,
23 use, or excise tax audit) or a form for waiver of
24 restrictions on assessment (following completion of an
25 income tax audit); provided further that the reduction to
26 15% shall be rescinded if the taxpayer makes any claim for

HB3872 Engrossed - 220 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 refund or credit of the tax, penalties, or interest
2 determined to be due upon audit, except in the case of a
3 claim filed pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 506 of
4 the Illinois Income Tax Act or to claim a carryover of a
5 loss or credit, the availability of which was not
6 determined in the audit. For purposes of this paragraph
7 (2), any overpayment reported on an original return that
8 has been allowed as a refund or credit to the taxpayer
9 shall be deemed to have not been paid on or before the due
10 date for payment and any amount paid under protest pursuant
11 to the provisions of the State Officers and Employees Money
12 Disposition Act shall be deemed to have been paid after the
13 Department has initiated an audit and more than 30 days
14 after the Department has provided the taxpayer with an
15 amended return (following completion of an occupation,
16 use, or excise tax audit) or a form for waiver of
17 restrictions on assessment (following completion of an
18 income tax audit).
19 (3) The penalty imposed under this subsection (b-20)
20 shall be deemed assessed at the time the tax upon which the
21 penalty is computed is assessed, except that, if the
22 reduction of the penalty imposed under paragraph (2) of
23 this subsection (b-20) to 15% is rescinded because a claim
24 for refund or credit has been filed, the increase in
25 penalty shall be deemed assessed at the time the claim for
26 refund or credit is filed.

HB3872 Engrossed - 221 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 (c) For purposes of the late payment penalties, the basis
2 of the penalty shall be the tax shown or required to be shown
3 on a return, whichever is applicable, reduced by any part of
4 the tax which is paid on time and by any credit which was
5 properly allowable on the date the return was required to be
6 filed.
7 (d) A penalty shall be applied to the tax required to be
8 shown even if that amount is less than the tax shown on the
9 return.
10 (e) This subsection (e) is applicable to returns due before
11 January 1, 2001. If both a subsection (b)(1) or (b-5)(1)
12 penalty and a subsection (b)(2) or (b-5)(2) penalty are
13 assessed against the same return, the subsection (b)(2) or
14 (b-5)(2) penalty shall be assessed against only the additional
15 tax found to be due.
16 (e-5) This subsection (e-5) is applicable to returns due on
17 and after January 1, 2001. If both a subsection (b-10)(1)
18 penalty and a subsection (b-10)(2) penalty are assessed against
19 the same return, the subsection (b-10)(2) penalty shall be
20 assessed against only the additional tax found to be due.
21 (f) If the taxpayer has failed to file the return, the
22 Department shall determine the correct tax according to its
23 best judgment and information, which amount shall be prima
24 facie evidence of the correctness of the tax due.
25 (g) The time within which to file a return or pay an amount
26 of tax due without imposition of a penalty does not extend the

HB3872 Engrossed - 222 - LRB096 09597 HLH 19758 b
1 time within which to file a protest to a notice of tax
2 liability or a notice of deficiency.
3 (h) No return shall be determined to be unprocessable
4 because of the omission of any information requested on the
5 return pursuant to Section 2505-575 of the Department of
6 Revenue Law (20 ILCS 2505/2505-575).
7 (i) If a taxpayer has a tax liability that is eligible for
8 amnesty under the Tax Delinquency Amnesty Act and the taxpayer
9 fails to satisfy the tax liability during the amnesty period
10 provided for in that Act, then the penalty imposed by the
11 Department under this Section shall be imposed in an amount
12 that is 200% of the amount that would otherwise be imposed
13 under this Section.
