12Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable, either
13the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer
14Identification Number), the purchase price, and the amount of
15Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
16 No annual report shall be filed before May 1, 1996 or after

20sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
21forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
22year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
23reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
24be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
25not previously reported at any time before the credit would
26have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have

SB1390- 33 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the

10certification provided by the manufacturer or graphic arts
11producer may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's
12liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service
13Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25%
14of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
15only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's
16Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department. The
17Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by purchase of exempt
18manufacturing machinery and equipment or graphic arts
19machinery and equipment is a non-transferable credit. A
20manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters into a
21contract involving the installation of tangible personal

9with the credit. The manufacturer or graphic arts producer
10shall remain liable to timely report all information required
11by the annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for
12all credit utilized by a construction contractor.
13 The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy
14liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due
15on the purchase, made on or after September 1, 2004, of
16production related tangible personal property (including
17purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or by
18a lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a
19manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise
20qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
21exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment
22exemption. "Production related tangible personal property"
23means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by
24the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a
25manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the
26Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible

SB1390- 37 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate
2within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited
3to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities
4such as preproduction material handling, receiving, quality
5control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging
6for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
7personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a
8graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as

17mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible
18personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for
19research and development. "Production related tangible
20personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal
21property used, within or without a manufacturing facility, in
22sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal management, marketing,
23personnel recruitment or selection, or landscaping or (ii)

25with a department, agency, or unit of federal, state, or local
26government. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to

SB1390- 38 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1satisfy the tax arising either from the purchase of machinery
2and equipment on or after September 1, 2004 for which the
3exemption provided by paragraph (18) of Section 3-5 of this Act
4was erroneously claimed, or the purchase of machinery and
5equipment on or after September 1, 2004 for which the exemption
6provided by paragraph (6) of Section 3-5 of this Act was
7erroneously claimed, but not in satisfaction of penalty, if

9purchaser of production related tangible personal property
10that is purchased on or after September 1, 2004 who is required
11to pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase
12directly to the Department may utilize the Manufacturer's
13Purchase Credit in satisfaction of the tax arising from that
14purchase, but not in satisfaction of penalty and interest. A
15purchaser who uses the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to
16purchase property on and after September 1, 2004 which is later
17determined not to be production related tangible personal
18property may be liable for tax, penalty, and interest on the
19purchase of that property as of the date of purchase but shall
20be entitled to use the disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase
21Credit, so long as it has not expired and is used on qualifying
22purchases of production related tangible personal property not
23previously subject to credit usage. The Manufacturer's
24Purchase Credit earned by a manufacturer or graphic arts
25producer expires the last day of the second calendar year
26following the calendar year in which the credit arose. A

SB1390- 39 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall sign
2and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
3Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day of the

7as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state,
8for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase
9price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
10machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State
11Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those
12items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of
13credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such
14other information as the Department may reasonably require. A

1used. A Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used shall be
2filed on forms as prescribed or approved by the Department and
3shall state, for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total
4purchase price of production related tangible personal
5property purchased from Illinois suppliers; (ii) the total
6purchase price of production related tangible personal
7property purchased from out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the
8total amount of credit used during such month; and (iv) such
9other information as the Department may reasonably require. A
10purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain
11records that identify, as to each purchase of production
12related tangible personal property on which the purchaser used
13Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if
14applicable, either the vendor's registration number or Federal
15Employer Identification Number), the purchase price, and the
16amount of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
17 A purchaser that fails to file an annual Report of
18Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual Report of
19Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the
20sixth month following the end of the calendar year shall
21forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
22year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
23reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
24be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
25not previously reported at any time before the credit would
26have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have

SB1390- 41 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
2issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
3of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
4assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
5for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date
6to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or
7portion thereof has been extended. Manufacturer's Purchase
8Credit claimed on an amended report may be used to satisfy tax
9liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act (i)
10on qualifying purchases of production related tangible
11personal property made after the date the amended report is
12filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on qualifying
13production related tangible personal property purchased on or
14after September 1, 2004. If the purchaser is not the
15manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, but rents or leases
16the use of the property to a manufacturer or graphic arts
17producer, the purchaser may earn, report, and use
18Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the same manner as a
19manufacturer or graphic arts producer. A purchaser shall not be
20entitled to any Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for a purchase
21that is required to be reported and is not timely reported as
22provided in this Section. A purchaser remains liable for (i)
23any tax that was satisfied by use of a Manufacturer's Purchase
24Credit, as of the date of purchase, if that use is not timely
25reported as required in this Section and (ii) for any
26applicable penalties and interest for failing to pay the tax

SB1390- 42 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b

8forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for that calendar
9year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
10reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may
11be amended to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases
12not previously reported at any time before the credit would
13have expired, unless both the Department and the purchaser have
14agreed to an extension of the statute of limitations for the
15issuance of a notice of tax liability as provided in Section 4
16of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
17assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports
18for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date

3producer, but rents or leases the use of the property to a
4manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, the purchaser may
5earn, report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the
6same manner as a manufacturer or graphic arts producer. A
7purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's Purchase
8Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported and is
9not timely reported as provided in this Section. A purchaser

26property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the

SB1390- 144 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
2which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
3of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
4trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
5tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
6amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
7such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
8due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
9fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
10identification of the property sold; such other information as
11is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
12such other information as the Department may reasonably
13require.
14 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
15or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
16name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
17price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
18traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
19for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
20extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
21the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
22deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
23the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
24transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by

26such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is

SB1390- 145 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
2sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
3information as the Department may reasonably require.
4 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
5than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
6being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
7than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
8return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
9Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
10the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
11tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
12titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
13agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
14expedite the processing of applications for title or
15registration.
16 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
17shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
18satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
19the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
20Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
21receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
22satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
23purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
24with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
25property that is involved (if titling or registration is
26required) in support of such purchaser's application for an

SB1390- 146 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
2to such tangible personal property.
3 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
4Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
5retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
6evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
7is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
8paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
9Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
10mandate of this paragraph.
11 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
12wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
13the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
14retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
15paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
16of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
17being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
18the information required by the transaction reporting return
19and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
20the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
21determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
22and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
23credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
24with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
25provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
26the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the

SB1390- 147 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
2if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
3 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
4period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
5returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
6subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
7may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
8receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
9return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
10with respect to such receipts.
11 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
12behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
13vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
14accredited agent of such corporation.
15 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
16filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
17signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
18the limited liability company.
19 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
20return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
21return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
22Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
23on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
24whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
25retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
26preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying

SB1390- 148 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
2to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
3which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
4retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
5transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
6shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
7such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
8under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
9in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow
10the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is
11revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
12Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
13registration has become final.
14 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
15tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
16Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
17Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
18remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
19or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
20shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
21day of the month next following the month during which such tax
22liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
23on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
24during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
251, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
26Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service

SB1390- 149 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
2liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
3with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
4preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
5with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
6next following the month during which such tax liability is
7incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
8the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
9liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
10liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
11payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
12actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
13Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
14of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
15calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
16the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
17month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
18after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
19payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
20actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
21liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
22the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
23or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
24payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
25actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
26liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If

SB1390- 150 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
2or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
3begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
4amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
5the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
6calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
7such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
81989, and prior to 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 or 100% of the taxpayer's
12actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
13amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
14against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
15that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
16requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
17Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
18of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
19shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
20to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
21quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
22month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
23taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
24computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
25calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
26taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in

SB1390- 151 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
2to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
3reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
4threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
5Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
6and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
7the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
8taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
9more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
10until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
11Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
12(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
13lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
14average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
15each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
16quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
17show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
18business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
19that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
20foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
21above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
22change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
23shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
24that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
25long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
26the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the

SB1390- 152 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
2difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
3amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
4paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
5payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
6minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
7The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
8govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
9payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
10monthly basis.
11 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
122001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
13quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
14is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
15prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
16excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
17calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
18required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
19Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
20month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
21during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
22September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
23each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
24taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
25during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
26January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to

SB1390- 153 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
122.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
2of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
3preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
4liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
5payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
7liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
8The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
9against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
10that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
11may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
12quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
13paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
14prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
15calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
16monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
17required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
18interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
19previously made payments for that month in excess of the
20minimum payments previously due.
21 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
221, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
23make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
24who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
25prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
26excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete

SB1390- 154 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
2required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
3Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
4month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
5shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
6liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
7the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
8the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
9final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
10filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
11Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
12monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
13shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
14collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
15(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
16lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
17average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
18each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
19quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
20payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
21taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
22difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
23payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
24previously due.
25 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
26taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the

SB1390- 155 -LRB101 07229 HLH 52267 b
1Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
2shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
3requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
4memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
5credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
6the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
7Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
8in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
9prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
10taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
11subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
12the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
13Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
14regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
15subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
16taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
17and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
18of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
19due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
20interest on such difference.
21 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
22Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
23to the Department under this Act for the month which the
24taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
25taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
