A BILL FOR

HB2964LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1 AN ACT concerning revenue.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section 9
5as follows:
6 (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
7 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
8and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
9of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
10the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
11amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
12when he is required to file his return for the period during
13which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
14January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
15per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
16reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
17tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
18the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. In the
19case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
20by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
21discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
22of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount
23allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are

HB2964- 2 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
2disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
3registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
4only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
5registration has become final. A retailer need not remit that
6part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is
7required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the
8Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the
9same property.
10 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
11conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
12wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
13extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
14filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
15vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
16to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
17each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
18the selling price actually received during such tax return
19period.
20 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
21twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
22a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
23filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
24such information as the Department may reasonably require. On
25and after January 1, 2018, except for returns for motor
26vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required

HB2964- 3 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1to be registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
2retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,
3all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
4filed electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do
5not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in
6filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the
7electronic filing requirement.
8 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
9quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
10quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
11calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
12taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
13of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
14the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
15 1. The name of the seller;
16 2. The address of the principal place of business from
17 which he engages in the business of selling tangible
18 personal property at retail in this State;
19 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
20 during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
21 personal property by him during such preceding calendar
22 month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
23 less all deductions allowed by law;
24 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
25 Act;
26 5. The amount of tax due;

HB2964- 4 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
2 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
3 may require.
4 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
5the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
6the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
7due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
8 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
9monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
10payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
11funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
12an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
13all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic

15an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make

18an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
19payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
20funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
21sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
22other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
23by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
24The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
25taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
26State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the

HB2964- 5 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
2divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
3a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
4Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
5all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
6funds transfer.
7 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
8Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
9by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
10payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
11for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
12 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
13funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
14with the permission of the Department.
15 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
16transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
17payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
18in the manner authorized by the Department.
19 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
20effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
21requirements of this Section.
22 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
23tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
24Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service
25Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
26calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department

HB2964- 6 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
2month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
3make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
422nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
5incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
6average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
7the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
8Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
9preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
10with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
11next following the month during which such tax liability is
12incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
13the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
14liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
15liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
16payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
17actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
18Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
19of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
20calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
21the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
22month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
23after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
24payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
25actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
26liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If

HB2964- 7 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
2or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
3payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
4actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
5liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
6the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
7or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
8begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
9amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
10the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
11calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
12such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
131989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
14amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
15the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
16calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
17actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
18amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
19against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
20that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
21requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
22Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
23monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
24complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
25liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
26$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to

HB2964- 8 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
2preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
3$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
4substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
5which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
6monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
7will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
8taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
9taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
10applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
11payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
12average monthly liability to the Department during the
13preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
14highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
15than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
16to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
174 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
18$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
19substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
20which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
21monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
22will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
23taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
24taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
25taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
26seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such

HB2964- 9 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
2amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
3liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
4minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
5payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
6taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
7Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
8provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
9rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
10amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
11on other than a calendar monthly basis.
12 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
13the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
14Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
15Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
16the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
17no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
18memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
19in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
20taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
21similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
22Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
23in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
24prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
25payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
26after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,

HB2964- 10 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
2the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
3liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
4Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
5the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
6accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
7the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
8all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
9taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
10be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
11credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
12liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
13 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
14return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
15the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
16authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
17with the return for January, February, and March of a given
18year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
19April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
20year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
21year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
22for October, November and December of a given year being due by
23January 20 of the following year.
24 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
25quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
26liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department

HB2964- 11 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
2the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
3following year.
4 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
5substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
6returns.
7 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
8the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
9case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
10which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
11such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
12Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
13business.
14 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
15aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
16an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
17Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
18property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
19prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
20for each such item of tangible personal property which the
21retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
22retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
23transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
24trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
25trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
26of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers

HB2964- 12 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
2to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
3provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
4report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
5vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
6Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
7return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a
8Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
93-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
10watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
11 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
12aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
13an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
14business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
15connection with such business, sells any such item to a
16retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
17other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
18meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the
19transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
20trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
21Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
22return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
23month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
24other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
25under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
26manner and form as required by the Department.

HB2964- 13 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
2vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
3agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
4Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
5Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
6and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
7including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
8property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
9traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
10which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
11of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
12trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
13tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
14amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
15such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
16due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
17fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
18identification of the property sold; such other information as
19is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
20such other information as the Department may reasonably
21require.
22 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
23and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
24name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
25price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
26traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer

HB2964- 14 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
2extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
3the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
4deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
5the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
6transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
7the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
8such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
9claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
10sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
11information as the Department may reasonably require.
12 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
13than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
14being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
15than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
16return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
17that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
18Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
19officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
20titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
21if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
22that this procedure will expedite the processing of
23applications for title or registration.
24 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
25shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
26satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is

HB2964- 15 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
2Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
3(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
4that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
5may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
6whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
7that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
8support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
9certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
10tangible personal property.
11 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
12Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
13retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
14evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
15is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
16paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
17Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
18mandate of this paragraph.
19 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
20wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
21tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
22retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
23paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
24of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
25being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
26the information required by the transaction reporting return

HB2964- 16 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
2the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
3determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
4and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
5credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
6with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
7provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
8the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
9same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
10if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
11 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
12selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
13the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
14property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
15the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
16purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
17his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
18purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
19refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
20such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
21Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
22to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
23such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
24amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
25deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
26purchaser.

HB2964- 17 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
2include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
3covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
4personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
5but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
6from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
7remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
8return.
9 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
10Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
11return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
12returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
13Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
14Acts on the one form.
15 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
16with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
17such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
18return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
19separate returns for each such registered business.
20 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

5the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
6of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
7is required to file his return for the period during which such
8tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
91990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
10year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the

21an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
22payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
23funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
24sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all

22 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
23effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
24requirements of this Section.
25 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
26return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to

HB2964- 33 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
2authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
3with the return for January, February and March of a given year
4being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
5May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
6with the return for July, August and September of a given year
7being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
8October, November and December of a given year being due by
9January 20 of the following year.
10 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
11or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax
12liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
13may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
14the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
15following year.
16 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
17substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
18returns.
19 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
20the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
21case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
22business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
23this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
24Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
25discontinuing such business.
26 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the

HB2964- 34 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
2thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
3selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
4also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
5purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
6refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
7the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
8any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
9occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
10to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
11provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall
12previously have been remitted to the Department by such
13serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
14remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall be
15entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to
16the purchaser.
17 Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also include
18the total tax upon the selling price of tangible personal
19property purchased for use by him as an incident to a sale of
20service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of such tax
21to the Department when filing such return.
22 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
23Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
24return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
25returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax

21an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
22all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
23funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has

HB2964- 70 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
2payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
3funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
4sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
5other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
6by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
7The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of
8the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
9State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
10Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
11divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
12a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
13Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
14all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
15funds transfer.
16 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
17Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
18by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
19payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
20for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
21 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
22funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
23with the permission of the Department.
24 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
25transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
26payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments

HB2964- 71 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1in the manner authorized by the Department.
2 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
3effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
4requirements of this Section.
5 Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any
6return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
7is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest
8whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a
9dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest
10whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is
11less than 50 cents.
12 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
13return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
14the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
15authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
16with the return for January, February and March of a given year
17being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
18May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
19with the return for July, August and September of a given year
20being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
21October, November and December of a given year being due by
22January 20 of the following year.
23 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
24quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
25liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
26Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual

HB2964- 72 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
2of the following year.
3 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
4substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
5returns.
6 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
7the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
8case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
9which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
10such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
11Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
12business.
13 Where the same person has more than one business registered
14with the Department under separate registrations under this
15Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
16single return covering all such registered businesses, but
17shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
18 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
19aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
20an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
21Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
22property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
23prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
24for each such item of tangible personal property which the
25retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
26retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers

HB2964- 73 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
2trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
3retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii)
4a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers
5transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or
6trailer to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
7provided in Section 2-5 of this Act, then that seller may
8report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles
9or trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on
10the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
11For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
12Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the
13Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any
14boat equipped with an inboard motor.
15 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
16aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
17an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
18business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
19connection with such business, sells any such item to a
20retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
21other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
22meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the
23transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
24trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
25Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
26return form on or before the 20th of the month following the

HB2964- 74 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
2other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
3under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
4manner and form as required by the Department.
5 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
6aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
7an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
8liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
9transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
10to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
11quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
12to file returns on an annual basis.
13 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
14vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
15agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
16Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
17Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
18and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
19including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
20property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
21traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
22which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
23of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
24trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
25tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
26amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on

HB2964- 75 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
2due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
3fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
4identification of the property sold; such other information as
5is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
6such other information as the Department may reasonably
7require.
8 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
9or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
10name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
11price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
12traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
13for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
14extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
15the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
16deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
17the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
18transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
19the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
20such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
21claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
22sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
23information as the Department may reasonably require.
24 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
25than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
26being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner

HB2964- 76 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
2return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
3Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
4the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
5tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
6titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
7agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
8expedite the processing of applications for title or
9registration.
10 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
11shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
12satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
13the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
14Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
15receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
16satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
17purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
18with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
19property that is involved (if titling or registration is
20required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
21Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
22to such tangible personal property.
23 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
24Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
25retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
26evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration

HB2964- 77 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
2paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
3Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
4mandate of this paragraph.
5 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
6wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
7the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
8retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
9paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
10of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
11being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
12the information required by the transaction reporting return
13and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
14the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
15determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
16and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
17credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
18with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
19provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
20the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
21same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
22if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
23 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
24period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
25returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
26subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case

HB2964- 78 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
2receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
3return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
4with respect to such receipts.
5 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
6behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
7vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
8accredited agent of such corporation.
9 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
10filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
11signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
12the limited liability company.
13 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
14return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
15return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
16Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
17on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
18whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
19retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
20preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
21data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
22to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
23which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
24retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
25transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
26shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when

HB2964- 79 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
2under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
3in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow
4the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is
5revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
6Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
7registration has become final.
8 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
9tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
10Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
11Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
12remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
13or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
14shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
15day of the month next following the month during which such tax
16liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
17on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
18during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
191, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
20Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
21Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
22liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
23with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
24preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
25with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
26next following the month during which such tax liability is

HB2964- 80 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
2the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
3liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
4liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
5payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
7Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
8of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
9calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
10the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
11month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
12after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
13payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
14actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
15liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
16the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
17or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
18payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
19actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
20liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
21the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
22or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
23begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
24amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
25the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
26calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which

HB2964- 81 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
21989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
3amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
4the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
5calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
7amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
8against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
9that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
10requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
11Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
12of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
13shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
14to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
15quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
16month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
17taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
18computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
19calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
20taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
21the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
22to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
23reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
24threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
25Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
26and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of

HB2964- 82 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
2taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
3more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
4until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
5Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
6(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
7lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
8average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
9each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
10quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
11show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
12business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
13that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
14foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
15above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
16change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
17shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
18that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
19long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
20the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
21taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
22difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
23amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
24paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
25payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
26minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.

HB2964- 83 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
2govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
3payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
4monthly basis.
5 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
62001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
7quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
8is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
9prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
10excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
11calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
12required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
13Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
14month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
15during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
16September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
17each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
18taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
19during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
20January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
2122.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
22of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
23preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
24liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
25payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
26actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's

HB2964- 84 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
2The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
3against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
4that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
5may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
6quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
7paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
8prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
9calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
10monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
11required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
12interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
13previously made payments for that month in excess of the
14minimum payments previously due.
15 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
161, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
17make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
18who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
19prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
20excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
21calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
22required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
23Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
24month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
25shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
26liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for

HB2964- 85 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
2the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
3final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
4filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
5Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
6monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
7shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
8collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
9(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
10lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
11average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
12each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
13quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
14payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
15taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
16difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
17payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
18previously due.
19 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
20taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
21Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
22shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
23requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
24memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
25credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
26the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax

HB2964- 86 -LRB101 08884 HLH 53974 b
1Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
2in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
3prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
4taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
5subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
6the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
7Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
8regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
9subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
10taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
11and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
12of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
13due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
14interest on such difference.
15 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
16Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
17to the Department under this Act for the month which the
18taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
19taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
20 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
21pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the
22State treasury which is hereby created, the net revenue
23realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax imposed under
24this Act.
