Sec. 1a. 
		
		A person who is engaged in the business of leasing or renting
motor vehicles to others and who, in connection with such business sells
any used motor vehicle to a purchaser for his use and not for the purpose
of resale, is a retailer engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
property at retail under this Act to the extent of the value of the vehicle
sold. For the purpose of this Section, "motor vehicle" has the meaning prescribed
in Section 1-157 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, as now or hereafter amended.
(Nothing provided herein shall affect liability incurred under this Act
because of the use of such motor vehicles as a lessor.)
(Source: P.A. 80-598.)
(35 ILCS 105/2) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.2)
Sec. 2. Definitions.
"Use" means the exercise by any person of any right or power over
tangible personal property incident to the ownership of that property,
except that it does not include the sale of such property in any form as
tangible personal property in the regular course of business to the extent
that such property is not first subjected to a use for which it was
purchased, and does not include the use of such property by its owner for
demonstration purposes: Provided that the property purchased is deemed to
be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite first being used, to the
extent to which it is resold as an ingredient of an intentionally produced
product or by-product of manufacturing.  "Use" does not mean the demonstration
use or interim use of tangible personal property by a retailer before he sells
that tangible personal property.  For watercraft or aircraft, if the period of
demonstration use or interim use by the retailer exceeds 18 months,
the retailer
shall pay on the retailers' original cost price the tax imposed by this Act,
and no credit for that tax is permitted if the watercraft or aircraft is
subsequently sold by the retailer.  "Use" does not mean the physical
incorporation of tangible personal property, to the extent not first subjected
to a use for which it was purchased, as an ingredient or constituent, into
other tangible personal property (a) which is sold in the regular course of
business or (b) which the person incorporating such ingredient or constituent
therein has undertaken at the time of such purchase to cause to be transported
in interstate commerce to destinations outside the State of Illinois: Provided
that the property purchased is deemed to be purchased for the purpose of
resale, despite first being used, to the extent to which it is resold as an
ingredient of an intentionally produced product or by-product of manufacturing.
"Watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in
Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or
any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
"Purchase at retail" means the acquisition of the ownership of or title
to tangible personal property through a sale at retail.
"Purchaser" means anyone who, through a sale at retail, acquires the
ownership of tangible personal property for a valuable consideration.
"Sale at retail" means any transfer of the ownership of or title to
tangible personal property to a purchaser, for the purpose of use, and not
for the purpose of resale in any form as tangible personal property to the
extent not first subjected to a use for which it was purchased, for a
valuable consideration: Provided that the property purchased is deemed to
be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite first being used, to the
extent to which it is resold as an ingredient of an intentionally produced
product or by-product of manufacturing.  For this purpose, slag produced as
an incident to manufacturing pig iron or steel and sold is considered to be
an intentionally produced by-product of manufacturing.  "Sale at retail"
includes any such transfer made for resale unless made in compliance with
Section 2c of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, as incorporated by
reference into Section 12 of this Act.  Transactions whereby the possession
of the property is transferred but the seller retains the title as security
for payment of the selling price are sales.
"Sale at retail" shall also be construed to include any Illinois
florist's sales transaction in which the purchase order is received in
Illinois by a florist and the sale is for use or consumption, but the
Illinois florist has a florist in another state deliver the property to the
purchaser or the purchaser's donee in such other state.
Nonreusable tangible personal property that is used by persons engaged in
the business of operating a restaurant, cafeteria, or drive-in is a sale for
resale when it is transferred to customers in the ordinary course of business
as part of the sale of food or beverages and is used to deliver, package, or
consume food or beverages, regardless of where consumption of the food or
beverages occurs.  Examples of those items include, but are not limited to
nonreusable, paper and plastic cups, plates, baskets, boxes, sleeves, buckets
or other containers, utensils, straws, placemats, napkins, doggie bags, and
wrapping or packaging
materials that are transferred to customers as part of the sale of food or
beverages in the ordinary course of business.
The purchase, employment and transfer of such tangible personal property
as newsprint and ink for the primary purpose of conveying news (with or
without other information) is not a purchase, use or sale of tangible
personal property.
"Selling price" means the consideration for a sale valued in money
whether received in money or otherwise, including cash, credits, property
other than as hereinafter provided, and services, but, prior to January 1, 2020 and beginning again on January 1, 2022, not including the
value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal property where the
item that is traded-in is of like kind and character as that which is being
sold; beginning January 1, 2020 and until January 1, 2022, "selling price" includes the portion of the value of or credit given for traded-in motor vehicles of the First Division as defined in Section 1-146 of the Illinois Vehicle Code of like kind and character as that which is being sold that exceeds $10,000. "Selling price" shall be determined without any deduction on account of the cost
of the property sold, the cost of materials used, labor or service cost or
any other expense whatsoever, but does not include interest or finance
charges which appear as separate items on the bill of sale or sales
contract nor charges that are added to prices by sellers on account of the
seller's tax liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, or on
account of the seller's duty to collect, from the purchaser, the tax that
is imposed by this Act, or, except as otherwise provided with respect to any cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit, on account of the seller's tax liability under any local occupation tax administered by the Department, or, except as otherwise provided with respect to any cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit on account of the seller's duty to collect, from the purchasers, the tax that is imposed under any local use tax administered by the Department. Effective December 1, 1985, "selling price"
shall include charges that are added to prices by sellers on account of the
seller's tax liability under the Cigarette Tax Act, on account of the seller's
duty to collect, from the purchaser, the tax imposed under the Cigarette Use
Tax Act, and on account of the seller's duty to collect, from the purchaser,
any cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit.
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, for any motor vehicle, as defined in Section 1-146 of the Vehicle Code, that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing the vehicle for a defined period that is longer than one year and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division that: (A) is a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently converted to provide living quarters for recreational, camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van configuration designed for the transportation of not less than 7 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor vehicle of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of sale" means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the lease.  Also included in the selling price is any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed, including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and charges for excess wear and tear.  For sales that occur in Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the tax imposed by this Act or to pay the tax imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act on those amounts.  However, the lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the liability for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the retailer had accounted for the tax to the Department.  For amounts received by the lessor from the lessee that are not calculated at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must file the return and pay the tax to the Department by the due date otherwise required by this Act for returns other than transaction returns.  If the retailer is entitled under this Act to a discount for collecting and remitting the tax imposed under this Act to the Department with respect to the sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to the discount provided in this Act shall be transferred to the lessor with respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed; provided that the discount is only allowed if the return is timely filed and for amounts timely paid.  The "selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the lessor.  In the case of a motor vehicle that is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of the delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined in this paragraph.      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make all payments required under this paragraph to the Department by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the Department.  This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases with a defined initial period with the option to continue the lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial defined period.
The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally construed
(including but not limited to any form of motor vehicle for any form of
motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or agricultural implement for any other
kind of farm or agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from retailers'
occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or occasional sale.
"Department" means the Department of Revenue.
"Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership, association,
joint stock company, joint adventure, public or private corporation, limited
liability company, or a
receiver, executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed
by order of any court.
"Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the business of
making sales at retail as defined in this Section.
A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged (or who habitually
engages) in selling tangible personal property at retail is a retailer
hereunder with respect to such sales (and not primarily in a service
occupation) notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
such tangible personal property on special order for the purchaser and in
such a way as to render the property of value only to such purchaser, if
such tangible personal property so produced on special order serves
substantially the same function as stock or standard items of tangible
personal property that are sold at retail.
A person whose activities are organized and conducted primarily as a
not-for-profit service enterprise, and who engages in selling tangible
personal property at retail (whether to the public or merely to members and
their guests) is a retailer with respect to such transactions, excepting
only a person organized and operated exclusively for charitable, religious
or educational purposes either (1), to the extent of sales by such person
to its members, students, patients or inmates of tangible personal property
to be used primarily for the purposes of such person, or (2), to the extent
of sales by such person of tangible personal property which is not sold or
offered for sale by persons organized for profit.  The selling of school
books and school supplies by schools at retail to students is not
"primarily for the purposes of" the school which does such selling.  This
paragraph does not apply to nor subject to taxation occasional dinners,
social or similar activities of a person organized and operated exclusively
for charitable, religious or educational purposes, whether or not such
activities are open to the public.
A person who is the recipient of a grant or contract under Title VII of
the Older Americans Act of 1965 (P.L. 92-258) and serves meals to
participants in the federal Nutrition Program for the Elderly in return for
contributions established in amount by the individual participant pursuant
to a schedule of suggested fees as provided for in the federal Act is not a
retailer under this Act with respect to such transactions.
Persons who engage in the business of transferring tangible personal
property upon the redemption of trading stamps are retailers hereunder when
engaged in such business.
The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal property at retail
by a person who does not hold himself out as being engaged (or who does not
habitually engage) in selling such tangible personal property at retail or
a sale through a bulk vending machine does not make such person a retailer
hereunder.  However, any person who is engaged in a business which is not
subject to the tax imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act because
of involving the sale of or a contract to sell real estate or a
construction contract to improve real estate, but who, in the course of
conducting such business, transfers tangible personal property to users or
consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and which does
not become real estate, under any provision of a construction contract or
real estate sale or real estate sales agreement entered into with some
other person arising out of or because of such nontaxable business, is a
retailer to the extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
transferred.  If, in such transaction, a separate charge is made for the
tangible personal property so transferred, the value of such property, for
the purposes of this Act, is the amount so separately charged, but not less
than the cost of such property to the transferor; if no separate charge is
made, the value of such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost
to the transferor of such tangible personal property.
"Retailer maintaining a place of business in this State", or any like
term, means and includes any of the following retailers:
(1) A retailer having or maintaining within this     State, directly or by a subsidiary, an office, distribution house, sales house, warehouse or other place of business, or any agent or other representative operating within this State under the authority of the retailer or its subsidiary, irrespective of whether such place of business or agent or other representative is located here permanently or temporarily, or whether such retailer or subsidiary is licensed to do business in this State. However, the ownership of property that is located at the premises of a printer with which the retailer has contracted for printing and that consists of the final printed product, property that becomes a part of the final printed product, or copy from which the printed product is produced shall not result in the retailer being deemed to have or maintain an office, distribution house, sales house, warehouse, or other place of business within this State.
(1.1) A retailer having a contract with a person     located in this State under which the person, for a commission or other consideration based upon the sale of tangible personal property by the retailer, directly or indirectly refers potential customers to the retailer by providing to the potential customers a promotional code or other mechanism that allows the retailer to track purchases referred by such persons. Examples of mechanisms that allow the retailer to track purchases referred by such persons include but are not limited to the use of a link on the person's Internet website, promotional codes distributed through the person's hand-delivered or mailed material, and promotional codes distributed by the person through radio or other broadcast media. The provisions of this paragraph (1.1) shall apply only if the cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property by the retailer to customers who are referred to the retailer by all persons in this State under such contracts exceed $10,000 during the preceding 4 quarterly periods ending on the last day of March, June, September, and December. A retailer meeting the requirements of this paragraph (1.1) shall be presumed to be maintaining a place of business in this State but may rebut this presumption by submitting proof that the referrals or other activities pursued within this State by such persons were not sufficient to meet the nexus standards of the United States Constitution during the preceding 4 quarterly periods.
(1.2) Beginning July 1, 2011, a retailer having a     contract with a person located in this State under which:
(A) the retailer sells the same or substantially         similar line of products as the person located in this State and does so using an identical or substantially similar name, trade name, or trademark as the person located in this State; and
(B) the retailer provides a commission or other         consideration to the person located in this State based upon the sale of tangible personal property by the retailer.
The provisions of this paragraph (1.2) shall apply     only if the cumulative gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property by the retailer to customers in this State under all such contracts exceed $10,000 during the preceding 4 quarterly periods ending on the last day of March, June, September, and December.
(2) (Blank).
(3) (Blank).

(9) Beginning October 1, 2018, a retailer making     sales of tangible personal property to purchasers in Illinois from outside of Illinois if:
(A) the cumulative gross receipts from sales of         tangible personal property to purchasers in Illinois are $100,000 or more; or
(B) the retailer enters into 200 or more separate         transactions for the sale of tangible personal property to purchasers in Illinois.
The retailer shall determine on a quarterly basis,     ending on the last day of March, June, September, and December, whether he or she meets the criteria of either subparagraph (A) or (B) of this paragraph (9) for the preceding 12-month period.  If the retailer meets the threshold of either subparagraph (A) or (B) for a 12-month period, he or she is considered a retailer maintaining a place of business in this State and is required to collect and remit the tax imposed under this Act and file returns for one year.  At the end of that one-year period, the retailer shall determine whether he or she met the threshold of either subparagraph (A) or (B) during the preceding 12-month period.  If the retailer met the criteria in either subparagraph (A) or (B) for the preceding 12-month period, he or she is considered a retailer maintaining a place of business in this State and is required to collect and remit the tax imposed under this Act and file returns for the subsequent year.  If at the end of a one-year period a retailer that was required to collect and remit the tax imposed under this Act determines that he or she did not meet the threshold in either subparagraph (A) or (B) during the preceding 12-month period, the retailer shall subsequently determine on a quarterly basis, ending on the last day of March, June, September, and December, whether he or she meets the threshold of either subparagraph (A) or (B) for the preceding 12-month period.
Beginning January 1, 2020, neither the gross receipts     from nor the number of separate transactions for sales of tangible personal property to purchasers in Illinois that a retailer makes through a marketplace facilitator and for which the retailer has received a certification from the marketplace facilitator pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included for purposes of determining whether he or she has met the thresholds of this paragraph (9).
(10) Beginning January 1, 2020, a marketplace     facilitator that meets a threshold  set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2d of this Act.
"Bulk vending machine" means a vending machine,
containing unsorted confections, nuts, toys, or other items designed
primarily to be used or played with by children
which, when a coin or coins of a denomination not larger than $0.50 are inserted, are dispensed in equal portions, at random and
without selection by the customer.

defined in the "Environmental Protection Act", enacted by the 76th General
Assembly, or for the primary purpose of treating, pretreating, modifying or
disposing of any potential solid, liquid or gaseous pollutant which if
released without such treatment, pretreatment, modification or disposal
might be harmful, detrimental or offensive to human, plant or animal life,
or to property.
Until July 1, 2003, the purchase, employment and transfer of such
tangible personal property
as pollution control facilities is not a purchase, use or sale of tangible
personal property.

		"Low sulfur dioxide emission coal fueled devices" means any
device sold or used or intended for the purpose of burning, combusting or

be required under State or Federal air emission standards.
Such device includes all machinery, equipment, structures and all related apparatus of
a coal gasification facility, including coal feeding equipment, designed
to convert locally available coal into a low sulfur gaseous fuel and to
manage all waste and byproduct streams.
The purchase, employment and transfer of such tangible personal property
as low sulfur dioxide emission coal fueled devices is not a purchase, use
or sale of tangible personal property.

(35 ILCS 105/2d)
Sec. 2d. Marketplace facilitators and marketplace sellers.
(a) As used in this Section:
"Affiliate" means a person that, with respect to another person:  (i) has a direct or indirect ownership interest of more than 5 percent in the other person; or (ii) is related to the other person because a third person, or a group of third persons who are affiliated with each other as defined in this subsection, holds a direct or indirect ownership interest of more than 5% in the related person.
"Marketplace" means a physical or electronic place, forum, platform, application, or other method by which a marketplace seller sells or offers to sell items.
"Marketplace facilitator" means a person who, pursuant to an agreement with an unrelated third-party marketplace seller, directly or indirectly through one or more affiliates facilitates a retail sale by an unrelated third party marketplace seller by:
(1) listing or advertising for sale by the     marketplace seller in a marketplace, tangible personal property that is subject to tax under this Act; and
(2) either directly or indirectly, through agreements     or arrangements with third parties, collecting payment from the customer and transmitting that payment to the marketplace seller regardless of whether the marketplace facilitator receives compensation or other consideration in exchange for its services.
"Marketplace seller" means a person that sells or offers to sell tangible personal property through a marketplace operated by an unrelated third-party marketplace facilitator.
(b)  Beginning on January 1, 2020, a marketplace facilitator who meets either of the following thresholds is considered the retailer for each sale of tangible personal property made through its marketplace:
(1) the cumulative gross receipts from sales of     tangible personal property to purchasers in Illinois by the marketplace facilitator and by marketplace sellers selling through the marketplace are $100,000 or more; or
(2) the marketplace facilitator and marketplace     sellers selling through the marketplace cumulatively enter into 200 or more separate transactions for the sale of tangible personal property to purchasers in Illinois.
A marketplace facilitator shall determine on a quarterly basis, ending on the last day of March, June, September, and December, whether he or she meets the threshold of either paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection (b) for the preceding 12-month period. If the marketplace facilitator meets the threshold of either paragraph (1) or (2) for a 12-month period, he or she is considered a retailer maintaining a place of business in this State and is required to collect and remit the tax imposed under this Act and file returns for one year. At the end of that one-year period, the marketplace facilitator shall determine whether the marketplace facilitator met the threshold of either paragraph (1) or (2) during the preceding 12-month period. If the marketplace facilitator met the threshold in either paragraph (1) or (2) for the preceding 12-month period, he or she is considered a retailer maintaining a place of business in this State and is required to collect and remit the tax imposed under this Act and file returns for the subsequent year. If at the end of a one-year period a marketplace facilitator that was required to collect and remit the tax imposed under this Act determines that he or she did not meet the threshold in either paragraph (1) or (2)  during the preceding 12-month period, the marketplace facilitator shall subsequently determine on a quarterly basis, ending on the last day of March, June, September, and December, whether he or she meets the threshold of either paragraph (1) or (2) for the preceding 12-month period.
(c) Beginning on January 1, 2020 a marketplace facilitator considered to be the retailer pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section is considered the retailer with respect to each sale made through its marketplace and is liable for collecting and remitting the tax under this Act on all such sales.  The marketplace facilitator who is considered to be the retailer under subsection (b) for sales made through its marketplace has all the rights and duties, and is required to comply with the same requirements and procedures, as all other retailers maintaining a place of business in this State who are registered or who are required to be registered to collect and remit the tax imposed by this Act with respect to such sales.
(d)  A marketplace facilitator shall:
(1)  certify to each marketplace seller that the     marketplace facilitator assumes the rights and duties of a retailer under this Act with respect to sales made by the marketplace seller through the marketplace; and
(2) collect taxes imposed by this Act as required by     Section 3-45 of this Act for sales made through the marketplace.
(e) A marketplace seller shall retain books and records for all sales made through a marketplace in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.
(f) A marketplace seller shall furnish to the marketplace facilitator information that is necessary for the marketplace facilitator to correctly collect and remit taxes for a retail sale.  The information may include a certification that an item being sold is taxable, not taxable, exempt from taxation, or taxable at a specified rate. A marketplace seller shall be held harmless for liability for the tax imposed under this Act when a marketplace facilitator fails to correctly collect and remit tax after having been provided with information by a marketplace seller to correctly collect and remit taxes imposed under this Act.
(g) If the marketplace facilitator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Department that its failure to correctly collect and remit tax on a retail sale resulted from the marketplace facilitator's good faith reliance on incorrect or insufficient information provided by a marketplace seller, it shall be relieved of liability for the tax on that retail sale.  In this case, a marketplace seller is liable for any resulting tax due.
(h)  (Blank).
(i) This Section does not affect the tax liability of a purchaser under this Act.
(j) (Blank).

"Sport or recreational equipment" means, but is not     limited to: ballet and tap shoes; cleated or spiked athletic shoes; gloves, including, but not limited to, baseball, bowling, boxing, hockey, and golf gloves; goggles; hand and elbow guards; life preservers and vests; mouth guards; roller and ice skates; shin guards; shoulder pads; ski boots; waders; and wetsuits and fins.
(2)  School supplies.  "School supplies" means,     unless otherwise specified in this Section, items used by a student in a course of study.  The purchase of school supplies for use by persons other than students for use in a course of study are not eligible for the reduced rate of tax. "School supplies" do not include school art supplies; school instructional materials; cameras; film and memory cards; videocameras, tapes, and videotapes; computers; cell phones; Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs); handheld electronic schedulers; and school computer supplies.
"School supplies" includes, but is not limited to:     binders; book bags; calculators; cellophane tape; blackboard chalk; compasses; composition books; crayons; erasers; expandable, pocket, plastic, and manila folders; glue, paste, and paste sticks; highlighters; index cards; index card boxes; legal pads; lunch boxes; markers; notebooks; paper, including loose leaf ruled notebook paper, copy paper, graph paper, tracing paper, manila paper, colored paper, poster board, and construction paper; pencils; pencil leads; pens; ink and ink refills for pens; pencil boxes and other school supply boxes; pencil sharpeners; protractors; rulers; scissors; and writing tablets.

(b)  Administration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the reduced rate of
tax under Section 3-10 of this Act for clothing and school supplies shall be
administered by the Department under the provisions of this subsection (b).
(1)  Bundled sales.  Items that qualify for the     reduced rate of tax that are bundled together with items that do not qualify for the reduced rate of tax and that are sold for one itemized price will be subject to the reduced rate of tax only if the value of the items that qualify for the reduced rate of tax exceeds the value of the items that do not qualify for the reduced rate of tax.
(2)  Coupons and discounts.  An unreimbursed discount     by the seller reduces the sales price of the property so that the discounted sales price determines whether the sales price is within a sales tax holiday price threshold. A coupon or other reduction in the sales price is treated as a discount if the seller is not reimbursed for the coupon or reduction amount by a third party.
(3)  Splitting of items normally sold together.      Articles that are normally sold as a single unit must continue to be sold in that manner. Such articles cannot be priced separately and sold as individual items in order to obtain the reduced rate of tax. For example, a pair of shoes cannot have each shoe sold separately so that the sales price of each shoe is within a sales tax holiday price threshold.
(4)  Rain checks.  A rain check is a procedure that     allows a customer to purchase an item at a certain price at a later time because the particular item was out of stock. Eligible property that customers purchase during the Sales Tax Holiday Period with the use of a rain check will qualify for the reduced rate of tax regardless of when the rain check was issued. Issuance of a rain check during the Sales Tax Holiday Period will not qualify eligible property for the reduced rate of tax if the property is actually purchased after the Sales Tax Holiday Period.
(5)  Exchanges.  The procedure for an exchange in     regards to a sales tax holiday is as follows:
(A)  If a customer purchases an item of eligible         property during the Sales Tax Holiday Period, but later exchanges the item for a similar eligible item, even if a different size, different color, or other feature, no additional tax is due even if the exchange is made after the Sales Tax Holiday Period.
(B)  If a customer purchases an item of eligible         property during the Sales Tax Holiday Period, but after the Sales Tax Holiday Period has ended, the customer returns the item and receives credit on the purchase of a different item, the 6.25% general merchandise sales tax rate is due on the sale of the newly purchased item.
(C)  If a customer purchases an item of eligible         property before the Sales Tax Holiday Period, but during the Sales Tax Holiday Period the customer returns the item and receives credit on the purchase of a different item of eligible property, the reduced rate of tax is due on the sale of the new item if the new item is purchased during the Sales Tax Holiday Period.
(6)  (Blank).
(7)  Order date and back orders.  For the purpose of     a sales tax holiday, eligible property qualifies for the reduced rate of tax if: (i)  the item is both delivered to and paid for by the customer during the Sales Tax Holiday Period or (ii) the customer orders and pays for the item and the seller accepts the order during the Sales Tax Holiday Period for immediate shipment, even if delivery is made after the Sales Tax Holiday Period.  The seller accepts an order when the seller has taken action to fill the order for immediate shipment. Actions to fill an order include placement of an "in date" stamp on an order or assignment of an "order number" to an order within the Sales Tax Holiday Period. An order is for immediate shipment when the customer does not request delayed shipment. An order is for immediate shipment notwithstanding that the shipment may be delayed because of a backlog of orders or because stock is currently unavailable to, or on back order by, the seller.
(8)  Returns.  For a 60-day period immediately after     the Sales Tax Holiday Period, if a customer returns an item that would qualify for the reduced rate of tax, credit for or refund of sales tax shall be given only at the reduced rate unless the customer provides a receipt or invoice that shows tax was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate, or the seller has sufficient documentation to show that tax was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate on the specific item. This 60-day period is set solely for the purpose of designating a time period during which the customer must provide documentation that shows that the appropriate sales tax rate was paid on returned merchandise. The 60-day period is not intended to change a seller's policy on the time period during which the seller will accept returns.
(c)  The Department may implement the provisions of this Section through the use of
emergency rules, along with permanent rules filed concurrently with such
emergency rules, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5-45 of the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act. For purposes of the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act, the adoption of rules to implement the provisions of this Section shall
be deemed an emergency and necessary for the public interest, safety, and welfare.

(Text of Section from P.A. 102-700)
Sec. 3-8. Hospital exemption.
(a)  Tangible personal property sold to or used by a hospital owner that owns one or more hospitals licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act or operated under the University of Illinois Hospital Act, or a hospital affiliate that is not already exempt under another provision of this Act  and meets the criteria for an exemption under this Section, is exempt from taxation under this Act.
(b)  A hospital owner or hospital affiliate satisfies the conditions for an exemption under this Section if the value of qualified services or activities listed in subsection (c) of this Section for the hospital year equals or exceeds the relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax liability, without regard to any property tax exemption granted under Section 15-86 of the Property Tax Code, for the calendar year in which exemption or renewal of exemption  is sought. For purposes of making the calculations required by this subsection (b), if the relevant hospital entity is a hospital owner that owns more than one hospital, the value of the services or activities listed in subsection (c) shall be calculated on the basis of only those services and activities relating to the hospital that includes the subject property, and the relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax liability shall be calculated only with respect to the properties comprising that hospital. In the case of a multi-state hospital system or hospital affiliate, the value of the services or activities listed in subsection (c) shall be calculated on the basis of only those services and activities that occur in Illinois and the relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax liability shall be calculated only with respect to its property located in Illinois.
(c)  The following services and activities shall be considered for purposes of making the calculations required by subsection (b):
(1) Charity care.  Free or discounted services     provided pursuant to the relevant hospital entity's financial assistance policy, measured at cost, including discounts provided under the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act.
(2) Health services to low-income and underserved     individuals.  Other unreimbursed costs of the relevant hospital entity for providing without charge, paying for, or subsidizing goods, activities, or services for the purpose of addressing the health of low-income or underserved individuals.  Those activities or services may include, but are not limited to: financial or in-kind support to affiliated or unaffiliated hospitals, hospital affiliates, community clinics, or programs that treat low-income or underserved individuals; paying for  or subsidizing health care professionals who care for low-income or underserved individuals; providing or subsidizing outreach or educational services to low-income or underserved individuals for disease management and prevention;  free or subsidized goods, supplies, or services needed by low-income or underserved individuals because of their medical condition; and prenatal or childbirth outreach to low-income or underserved persons.
(3) Subsidy of State or local governments.  Direct or     indirect financial or in-kind subsidies of State or local governments by the relevant hospital entity that pay for or subsidize activities or programs related to health care for low-income or underserved individuals.
(4) Support for State health care programs for     low-income individuals.  At the election of the hospital applicant for each applicable year, either (A) 10% of payments to the relevant hospital entity and  any hospital affiliate designated by the relevant hospital entity (provided that such hospital affiliate's operations provide financial or operational support for or receive financial or operational support from the relevant hospital entity) under Medicaid or other means-tested programs, including, but not limited to, General Assistance, the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program or (B) the amount of subsidy provided by the relevant hospital entity and  any hospital affiliate designated by the relevant hospital entity (provided that such hospital affiliate's operations provide financial or operational support for or receive financial or operational support from the relevant hospital entity) to State or local government in treating Medicaid recipients and recipients of means-tested programs, including but not limited to General Assistance, the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program.  The amount of subsidy for purpose of this item (4) is calculated in the same manner as  unreimbursed costs are calculated for Medicaid and other means-tested government programs in the Schedule H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
(5) Dual-eligible subsidy.  The amount of subsidy     provided to government by treating dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients.  The amount of subsidy for purposes of this item (5) is calculated by multiplying the relevant hospital entity's unreimbursed costs for Medicare, calculated in the same manner as determined in the Schedule H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, by the relevant hospital entity's ratio of dual-eligible patients to total Medicare patients.
(6) Relief of the burden of government  related to       health care.  Except to the extent otherwise taken into account in this subsection, the portion of unreimbursed costs of the relevant hospital entity attributable to providing, paying for, or subsidizing goods, activities, or services that relieve the burden of government related to health care for low-income individuals.  Such activities or services shall include, but are not limited to, providing emergency, trauma, burn, neonatal, psychiatric, rehabilitation, or other special services; providing medical education; and conducting medical research or training of health care professionals.  The portion of those unreimbursed costs attributable to benefiting low-income individuals shall be determined using the ratio calculated by adding the relevant hospital entity's costs attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested government programs, Medicare patients with disabilities under age 65, and dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients and dividing that total by the relevant hospital entity's total costs.  Such costs for the numerator and denominator shall be determined by multiplying  gross charges by the cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet, Part I).  In the case of emergency services, the ratio shall be calculated using costs (gross charges multiplied by the cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet, Part I)) of patients treated in the relevant hospital entity's emergency department.
(7) Any other activity by the relevant hospital     entity that the Department determines relieves the burden of government or addresses the health of low-income or underserved individuals.
(d)  The hospital applicant shall include information in its exemption application establishing that it satisfies the requirements of subsection (b).  For purposes of making the calculations required by subsection (b), the hospital applicant may for each year elect to use either (1) the value of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital year.  If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata basis.
(e) For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section:
(1) particular services or activities eligible for     consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (c) may not be counted under more than one of those paragraphs; and
(2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount     of subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted payments received by the relevant hospital entity as contributions deductible under Section 170(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(f) (Blank).
(g) Estimation of Exempt Property Tax Liability.  The estimated property tax liability used for the determination in subsection (b) shall be calculated as follows:
(1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the     estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed, with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant hospital entity's properties that are already fully or partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such property by multiplying:
(A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value,         if any, of the portion of the property for which an exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value of the exempt portion of such property as determined in item (2) of this subsection (g), by
(B) the applicable State equalization rate         (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
(C)  the applicable tax rate.
(2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt     portion of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair market value of buildings on the property, as determined in accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2), multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii) the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the property, as determined in accordance with subparagraph (C).
(A) The "estimated fair market value of buildings         on the property" means the replacement value of any exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus depreciation, determined utilizing the cost replacement method whereby the exempt square footage of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement cost per square foot for Class A Average  building found in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate current cost and local multipliers.
(B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the         estimated fair market value of buildings on the property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life for the buildings based on original construction and assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the applicable life for other types of buildings as specified in the American Hospital Association publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings, the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings.  If a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of 32 years is assumed.
(C) The estimated assessed value of the land         portion of the property shall be determined by multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the assessed values of three parcels of land (not including farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising the exempt portion of the property's land square footage.
(3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,     and tax rate (including any special factors such as Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated property tax liability shall be for the most recent year that is publicly available from the applicable chief county assessment officer or officers at least 90 days before the end of the hospital year.
(4) The method utilized to calculate estimated     property tax liability for purposes of this Section 15-86 shall not be utilized for the actual valuation, assessment, or taxation of property pursuant to the Property Tax Code.
(h)  For the purpose of this Section, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(1) "Hospital" means any institution, place,     building, buildings on a campus, or other health care facility located in Illinois that is licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act and has a hospital owner.
(2) "Hospital owner" means a not-for-profit     corporation that is the titleholder of a hospital, or the owner of the beneficial interest in an Illinois land trust that is the titleholder of a hospital.
(3)  "Hospital affiliate" means any corporation,     partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association or other organization, other than a hospital owner, that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with one or more hospital owners and that supports, is supported by, or acts in furtherance of the exempt health care purposes of at least one of those hospital owners' hospitals.
(4) "Hospital system" means a hospital and one or     more other hospitals or hospital affiliates related by common control or ownership.
(5) "Control" relating to hospital owners, hospital     affiliates, or hospital systems means possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the entity, whether through ownership of assets, membership interest, other voting or governance rights, by contract or otherwise.
(6) "Hospital applicant" means a hospital owner or     hospital affiliate that files an application for an exemption or renewal of exemption  under this Section.
(7) "Relevant hospital entity" means (A) the hospital     owner, in the case of a hospital applicant that is a hospital owner, and (B) at the election of a hospital applicant that is a hospital affiliate, either (i) the hospital affiliate or (ii) the hospital system to which the hospital applicant belongs, including any hospitals or hospital affiliates that are related by common control or ownership.
(8) "Subject property" means property used for the     calculation under subsection (b) of this Section.
(9) "Hospital year" means the fiscal year of the     relevant hospital entity, or the fiscal year of one of the hospital owners in the hospital system if the relevant hospital entity is a hospital system with members with different fiscal years, that ends in the year for which the exemption is sought.
(i) It is the intent of the General Assembly that any exemptions taken, granted, or renewed under this Section prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly are hereby validated.
(j) It is the intent of the General Assembly that the exemption under this Section applies on a continuous basis. If this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly takes effect after July 1, 2022, any exemptions taken, granted, or renewed under this Section on or after July 1, 2022 and prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly are hereby validated.
(k) This Section is exempt from the provisions of Section 3-90.

(Text of Section from P.A. 102-886)
Sec. 3-8. Hospital exemption.
(a)  Until July 1, 2027, tangible personal property sold to or used by a hospital owner that owns one or more hospitals licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act or operated under the University of Illinois Hospital Act, or a hospital affiliate that is not already exempt under another provision of this Act  and meets the criteria for an exemption under this Section, is exempt from taxation under this Act.
(b)  A hospital owner or hospital affiliate satisfies the conditions for an exemption under this Section if the value of qualified services or activities listed in subsection (c) of this Section for the hospital year equals or exceeds the relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax liability, without regard to any property tax exemption granted under Section 15-86 of the Property Tax Code, for the calendar year in which exemption or renewal of exemption  is sought. For purposes of making the calculations required by this subsection (b), if the relevant hospital entity is a hospital owner that owns more than one hospital, the value of the services or activities listed in subsection (c) shall be calculated on the basis of only those services and activities relating to the hospital that includes the subject property, and the relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax liability shall be calculated only with respect to the properties comprising that hospital. In the case of a multi-state hospital system or hospital affiliate, the value of the services or activities listed in subsection (c) shall be calculated on the basis of only those services and activities that occur in Illinois and the relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax liability shall be calculated only with respect to its property located in Illinois.
(c)  The following services and activities shall be considered for purposes of making the calculations required by subsection (b):
(1) Charity care.  Free or discounted services     provided pursuant to the relevant hospital entity's financial assistance policy, measured at cost, including discounts provided under the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act.
(2) Health services to low-income and underserved     individuals.  Other unreimbursed costs of the relevant hospital entity for providing without charge, paying for, or subsidizing goods, activities, or services for the purpose of addressing the health of low-income or underserved individuals.  Those activities or services may include, but are not limited to: financial or in-kind support to affiliated or unaffiliated hospitals, hospital affiliates, community clinics, or programs that treat low-income or underserved individuals; paying for  or subsidizing health care professionals who care for low-income or underserved individuals; providing or subsidizing outreach or educational services to low-income or underserved individuals for disease management and prevention;  free or subsidized goods, supplies, or services needed by low-income or underserved individuals because of their medical condition; and prenatal or childbirth outreach to low-income or underserved persons.
(3) Subsidy of State or local governments.  Direct or     indirect financial or in-kind subsidies of State or local governments by the relevant hospital entity that pay for or subsidize activities or programs related to health care for low-income or underserved individuals.
(4) Support for State health care programs for     low-income individuals.  At the election of the hospital applicant for each applicable year, either (A) 10% of payments to the relevant hospital entity and  any hospital affiliate designated by the relevant hospital entity (provided that such hospital affiliate's operations provide financial or operational support for or receive financial or operational support from the relevant hospital entity) under Medicaid or other means-tested programs, including, but not limited to, General Assistance, the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program or (B) the amount of subsidy provided by the relevant hospital entity and  any hospital affiliate designated by the relevant hospital entity (provided that such hospital affiliate's operations provide financial or operational support for or receive financial or operational support from the relevant hospital entity) to State or local government in treating Medicaid recipients and recipients of means-tested programs, including but not limited to General Assistance, the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program.  The amount of subsidy for purpose of this item (4) is calculated in the same manner as  unreimbursed costs are calculated for Medicaid and other means-tested government programs in the Schedule H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
(5) Dual-eligible subsidy.  The amount of subsidy     provided to government by treating dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients.  The amount of subsidy for purposes of this item (5) is calculated by multiplying the relevant hospital entity's unreimbursed costs for Medicare, calculated in the same manner as determined in the Schedule H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, by the relevant hospital entity's ratio of dual-eligible patients to total Medicare patients.
(6) Relief of the burden of government  related to       health care.  Except to the extent otherwise taken into account in this subsection, the portion of unreimbursed costs of the relevant hospital entity attributable to providing, paying for, or subsidizing goods, activities, or services that relieve the burden of government related to health care for low-income individuals.  Such activities or services shall include, but are not limited to, providing emergency, trauma, burn, neonatal, psychiatric, rehabilitation, or other special services; providing medical education; and conducting medical research or training of health care professionals.  The portion of those unreimbursed costs attributable to benefiting low-income individuals shall be determined using the ratio calculated by adding the relevant hospital entity's costs attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested government programs, Medicare patients with disabilities under age 65, and dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients and dividing that total by the relevant hospital entity's total costs.  Such costs for the numerator and denominator shall be determined by multiplying  gross charges by the cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet, Part I).  In the case of emergency services, the ratio shall be calculated using costs (gross charges multiplied by the cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet, Part I)) of patients treated in the relevant hospital entity's emergency department.
(7) Any other activity by the relevant hospital     entity that the Department determines relieves the burden of government or addresses the health of low-income or underserved individuals.
(d)  The hospital applicant shall include information in its exemption application establishing that it satisfies the requirements of subsection (b).  For purposes of making the calculations required by subsection (b), the hospital applicant may for each year elect to use either (1) the value of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital year.  If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata basis.
(e) For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section:
(1) particular services or activities eligible for     consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (c) may not be counted under more than one of those paragraphs; and
(2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount     of subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted payments received by the relevant hospital entity as contributions deductible under Section 170(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(f) (Blank).
(g) Estimation of Exempt Property Tax Liability.  The estimated property tax liability used for the determination in subsection (b) shall be calculated as follows:
(1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the     estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed, with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant hospital entity's properties that are already fully or partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such property by multiplying:
(A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value,         if any, of the portion of the property for which an exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value of the exempt portion of such property as determined in item (2) of this subsection (g), by
(B) the applicable State equalization rate         (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
(C)  the applicable tax rate.
(2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt     portion of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair market value of buildings on the property, as determined in accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2), multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii) the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the property, as determined in accordance with subparagraph (C).
(A) The "estimated fair market value of buildings         on the property" means the replacement value of any exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus depreciation, determined utilizing the cost replacement method whereby the exempt square footage of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement cost per square foot for Class A Average  building found in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate current cost and local multipliers.
(B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the         estimated fair market value of buildings on the property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life for the buildings based on original construction and assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the applicable life for other types of buildings as specified in the American Hospital Association publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings, the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings.  If a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of 32 years is assumed.
(C) The estimated assessed value of the land         portion of the property shall be determined by multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the assessed values of three parcels of land (not including farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising the exempt portion of the property's land square footage.
(3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,     and tax rate (including any special factors such as Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated property tax liability shall be for the most recent year that is publicly available from the applicable chief county assessment officer or officers at least 90 days before the end of the hospital year.
(4) The method utilized to calculate estimated     property tax liability for purposes of this Section 15-86 shall not be utilized for the actual valuation, assessment, or taxation of property pursuant to the Property Tax Code.
(h)  For the purpose of this Section, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(1) "Hospital" means any institution, place,     building, buildings on a campus, or other health care facility located in Illinois that is licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act and has a hospital owner.

(8) "Subject property" means property used for the     calculation under subsection (b) of this Section.
(9) "Hospital year" means the fiscal year of the     relevant hospital entity, or the fiscal year of one of the hospital owners in the hospital system if the relevant hospital entity is a hospital system with members with different fiscal years, that ends in the year for which the exemption is sought.

(j) It is the intent of the General Assembly that the exemption under this Section applies on a continuous basis.

Act.
Retailers shall collect the tax from users by adding the tax to the
selling price of tangible personal property, when sold for use, in the
manner prescribed by the Department.  The Department may adopt and
promulgate reasonable rules and regulations for the adding of the tax
by retailers to selling prices by prescribing bracket systems
for the purpose of enabling the retailers to add and collect,
as far as practicable, the amount of the tax.
If a seller collects use tax measured by receipts that are not
subject to use tax, or if a seller, in collecting use tax measured by
receipts that are subject to tax under this Act, collects more from the
purchaser than the required amount of the use tax on the transaction,
the purchaser shall have a legal right to claim a refund of
that amount from the seller.  If, however, that
amount is not refunded to the purchaser for any reason, the seller is
liable to pay that amount to the Department.  This paragraph
does not apply to an amount collected by the seller as use tax on receipts
that are subject to tax under this Act as long as the
collection is made in compliance with the tax collection brackets
prescribed by the Department in its rules and regulations.

Sec. 3-50. Manufacturing and assembly exemption. The manufacturing
and assembling machinery and equipment exemption includes
machinery and equipment that replaces machinery and equipment in an
existing manufacturing facility as well as machinery and equipment that
are for use in an expanded or new manufacturing facility. The machinery and
equipment exemption also includes machinery and equipment used in the
general maintenance or repair of exempt machinery and equipment or for
in-house manufacture of exempt machinery and equipment. Beginning on July 1, 2017, the manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment exemption also includes graphic arts machinery and equipment, as defined in paragraph (6) of Section 3-5. The machinery and equipment exemption does not include machinery and equipment used in (i) the generation of electricity for wholesale or retail sale; (ii) the generation or treatment of natural or artificial gas for wholesale or retail sale that is delivered to customers through pipes, pipelines, or mains; or (iii)  the treatment of water for wholesale or retail sale that is delivered to customers through pipes, pipelines, or mains.      The provisions of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly are declaratory of existing law as to the meaning and scope of this exemption. For the
purposes of this exemption, terms have the following
meanings:
(1) "Manufacturing process" means the production of     an article of tangible personal property, whether the article is a finished product or an article for use in the process of manufacturing or assembling a different article of tangible personal property, by a procedure commonly regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabricating, or refining that changes some existing material into a material with a different form, use, or name.  In relation to a recognized integrated business composed of a series of operations that collectively constitute manufacturing, or individually constitute manufacturing operations, the manufacturing process commences with the first operation or stage of production in the series and does not end until the completion of the final product in the last operation or stage of production in the series.  For purposes of this exemption, photoprocessing is a manufacturing process of tangible personal property for wholesale or retail sale.
(2) "Assembling process" means the production of an     article of tangible personal property, whether the article is a finished product or an article for use in the process of manufacturing or assembling a different article of tangible personal property, by the combination of existing materials in a manner commonly regarded as assembling that results in an article or material of a different form, use, or name.
(3) "Machinery" means major mechanical machines or     major components of those machines contributing to a manufacturing or assembling process.
(4) "Equipment" includes an independent device or     tool separate from machinery but essential to an integrated manufacturing or assembly process; including computers used primarily in a manufacturer's computer assisted design, computer assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system; any subunit or assembly comprising a component of any machinery or auxiliary, adjunct, or attachment parts of machinery, such as tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, patterns, and molds; and any parts that require periodic replacement in the course of normal operation; but does not include hand tools. Equipment includes chemicals or chemicals acting as catalysts but only if the chemicals or chemicals acting as catalysts effect a direct and immediate change upon a product being manufactured or assembled for wholesale or retail sale or lease.
(5) "Production related tangible personal property"     means all tangible personal property that is used or consumed by the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a manufacturing process takes place and includes, without limitation,  tangible personal property that is purchased for incorporation into real estate within a manufacturing facility, supplies and consumables used in a manufacturing facility including fuels, coolants, solvents, oils, lubricants, and adhesives, hand tools, protective apparel, and fire and safety equipment used or consumed within a manufacturing facility, and tangible personal property that is used or consumed in activities such as research and development, preproduction material handling, receiving, quality control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging for shipping and transportation purposes. "Production related tangible personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal property that is used, within or without a manufacturing facility, in sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal management, marketing, personnel recruitment or selection, or landscaping or (ii) tangible personal property that is required to be titled or registered with a department, agency, or unit of federal, State, or local government.
The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment exemption includes production related tangible personal property that is purchased on or after July 1, 2007 and on or before June 30, 2008 and on or after July 1, 2019. The exemption for production related tangible personal property purchased on or after July 1, 2007 and on or before June 30, 2008 is subject to both of  the following limitations:
(1) The maximum amount of the exemption for any one     taxpayer may not exceed 5% of the purchase price of production related tangible personal property that is purchased on or after July 1, 2007 and on or before June 30, 2008. A credit under Section 3-85 of this Act may not be earned by the purchase of production related tangible personal property for which an exemption is received under this Section.
(2) The maximum aggregate amount of  the exemptions     for production related tangible personal property  purchased on or after July 1, 2007 and on or before June 30, 2008 awarded under this Act and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act to all taxpayers may not exceed $10,000,000. If the claims for the exemption exceed $10,000,000, then the Department shall reduce the amount of the exemption to each taxpayer on a pro rata basis.The Department shall adopt rules to implement and administer the exemption for production related tangible personal property.
The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment
exemption includes the sale of materials to a purchaser who
produces exempted types of machinery, equipment, or tools and who rents or
leases that machinery, equipment, or tools to a
manufacturer of tangible
personal property.  This exemption also includes the sale of materials to a
purchaser who manufactures those materials into an exempted type of
machinery, equipment, or tools that the purchaser uses
himself or herself in the
manufacturing of tangible personal property.  This exemption includes the
sale of exempted types of machinery or equipment to a
purchaser who is not the manufacturer, but who rents or leases the use of
the property to a manufacturer. The purchaser of the machinery and
equipment who has an active resale registration number shall
furnish that number to the seller at the time of purchase.
A purchaser of the machinery, equipment, or tools without an
active resale registration number shall prepare a certificate of exemption
 stating facts establishing the exemption, and that certificate shall be
available to the Department for inspection or audit. The Department shall
prescribe the form of the certificate. Informal rulings, opinions, or
letters issued by the Department in
response to an inquiry or request for an opinion from any person
regarding the coverage and applicability of this exemption to specific
devices shall be published, maintained as a public record, and made
available for public inspection and copying.  If the informal ruling,
opinion, or letter contains trade secrets or other confidential
information, where possible, the Department shall delete that information
before publication.  Whenever informal rulings, opinions, or
letters contain a policy of general applicability, the Department
shall formulate and adopt that policy as a rule in accordance with the
Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
The manufacturing and assembling machinery and equipment
exemption is exempt from the provisions of Section 3-90.

Sec. 3-55. Multistate exemption. To prevent actual or likely multistate taxation, the tax imposed by this
Act
does not apply to the use of
tangible personal property in this State under the following circumstances:
(a) The use, in this State, of tangible personal property acquired
outside this State by a nonresident individual and brought into this
State by the individual for his or her own use while temporarily within
this State or while passing through this State.
(b) (Blank).
(c) The use, in this State, by owners, lessors,
or
shippers
of tangible personal property that is utilized by interstate carriers
for hire for use as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce as
long as so used by the interstate carriers for hire, and equipment
operated by a telecommunications provider, licensed as a common carrier by the
Federal Communications Commission, which is permanently installed in or affixed
to aircraft moving in interstate commerce.
(d) The use, in this State, of tangible personal property that is
acquired outside this State and caused to be brought into this State by
a person who has already paid a tax in another State in respect to the
sale, purchase, or use of that property, to the extent of the amount of
the tax properly due and paid in the other State.
(e) The temporary storage, in this State, of tangible personal
property that is acquired outside this State and that, after
being brought into this State and stored here temporarily, is used
solely outside this State or is physically attached to or incorporated
into other tangible personal property that is used solely outside this
State, or is altered by converting, fabricating, manufacturing, printing,
processing, or shaping, and, as altered, is used solely outside this State.
(f) The temporary storage in this State of building materials and
fixtures that are acquired either in this State or outside this State
by an Illinois registered combination retailer and construction contractor, and
that the purchaser thereafter uses outside this State by incorporating that
property into real estate located outside this State.
(g) The use or purchase of tangible personal property by a common carrier
by rail or motor that receives the physical possession of the property in
Illinois, and
that transports the property, or shares with another common carrier in the
transportation of the property, out of Illinois on a standard uniform bill of
lading showing the seller of the property as the shipper or consignor of the
property to a destination outside Illinois, for use outside Illinois.
(h) Except as provided in subsection (h-1), the use, in this State, of a motor vehicle that was sold in
this State to a nonresident, even though the motor vehicle is
delivered to the nonresident in this State, if the motor vehicle
is not to be titled in this State, and if a
drive-away permit is issued to the motor vehicle as
provided in Section 3-603 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or if the
nonresident purchaser has vehicle registration plates to transfer
to the motor vehicle upon returning to his or her home state.
The issuance of the drive-away permit or having the
out-of-state
registration plates to be transferred shall be prima facie evidence
that the motor vehicle will not be titled in this State.
(h-1) The exemption under subsection (h) does not apply if the state in which the motor vehicle will be titled does not allow a reciprocal exemption for the use in that state of a motor vehicle sold and delivered in that state to an Illinois resident but titled in Illinois.  The tax collected under this Act on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of another state that does not allow a reciprocal exemption shall be imposed at a rate equal to the state's rate of tax on taxable property in the state in which the purchaser is a resident, except that the tax shall not exceed the tax that would otherwise be imposed under this Act.  At the time of the sale, the purchaser shall execute a statement, signed under penalty of perjury, of his or her intent to title the vehicle in the state in which the purchaser is a resident within 30 days after the sale and of the fact of the payment to the State of Illinois of tax in an amount equivalent to the state's rate of tax on taxable property in his or her state of residence and shall submit the statement to the appropriate tax collection agency in his or her state of residence.  In addition, the retailer must retain a signed copy of the statement in his or her records.  Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require the removal of the vehicle from this state following the filing of an intent to title the vehicle in the purchaser's state of residence if the purchaser titles the vehicle in his or her state of residence within 30 days after the date of sale.  The tax collected under this Act in accordance with this subsection (h-1) shall be proportionately distributed as if the tax were collected at the 6.25% general rate imposed under this Act.

If tax becomes due under this subsection (h-2) because of the purchaser's use of the aircraft in this State, the purchaser shall file a return with the Department and pay the tax on the fair market value of the aircraft.   This return and payment of the tax must be made no later than 30 days after the aircraft is used in a taxable manner in this State.  The tax is based on the fair market value of the aircraft on the date that it is first used in a taxable manner in this State.

		Rolling stock exemption. 
		Except as provided in Section 3-61 of
this Act, the rolling
stock exemption
applies to rolling stock used by an
interstate carrier for hire, even just between points in Illinois, if
the rolling stock transports, for hire, persons whose
journeys or property whose shipments originate or terminate outside Illinois.

Sec. 3-61. Motor vehicles; trailers; use as rolling stock definition.
(a) (Blank).
(b) (Blank).
(c) This subsection (c) applies to motor vehicles, other than limousines, purchased through June 30, 2017. For motor vehicles, other than limousines, purchased on or after July 1, 2017, subsection (d-5) applies. This subsection (c) applies to limousines purchased before, on, or after July 1, 2017. "Use as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce" in paragraph (c) of Section 3-55 occurs for motor vehicles, as defined in Section 1-146 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, when during a 12-month period the rolling stock has carried persons or property for hire in interstate commerce for greater than 50% of its total trips for that period or for greater than 50% of its total miles for that period.   The person claiming the exemption shall make an election at the time of purchase to use either the trips or mileage method.   Persons who purchased motor vehicles prior to July 1, 2004 shall make an election to use either the trips or mileage method and document that election in their books and records.  If no election is made under this subsection to use the trips or mileage method, the person shall be deemed to have chosen the mileage method.
For purposes of determining qualifying trips or miles, motor vehicles that carry persons or property for hire, even just between points in Illinois, will be considered used for hire in interstate commerce if the motor vehicle transports persons whose journeys or property whose shipments originate or terminate outside Illinois. The exemption for motor vehicles
used as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce may be
claimed only for the following vehicles: (i) motor vehicles whose gross vehicle weight
rating exceeds 16,000 pounds; and (ii) limousines, as defined in Section 1-139.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. Through June 30, 2017, this definition applies to all property purchased for the purpose of being attached to those motor vehicles as a part thereof. On and after July 1, 2017, this definition applies to property purchased for the purpose of being attached to limousines as a part thereof.
(d) For purchases made through June 30, 2017, "use as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce" in paragraph (c) of Section 3-55 occurs for trailers, as defined in Section 1-209 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, semitrailers as defined in Section 1-187 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and pole trailers as defined in Section 1-161 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, when during a 12-month period the rolling stock has carried persons or property for hire in interstate commerce for greater than 50% of its total trips for that period or for greater than 50% of its total miles for that period.  The person claiming the exemption for a trailer or trailers that will not be dedicated to a motor vehicle or group of motor vehicles shall make an election at the time of purchase to use either the trips or mileage method.  Persons who purchased trailers prior to July 1, 2004 that are not dedicated to a motor vehicle or group of motor vehicles shall make an election to use either the trips or mileage method and document that election in their books and records. If no election is made under this subsection to use the trips or mileage method, the person shall be deemed to have chosen the mileage method.
For purposes of determining qualifying trips or miles, trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers that carry property for hire, even just between points in Illinois, will be considered used for hire in interstate commerce if the trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers transport property whose shipments originate or terminate outside Illinois.   This definition applies to all property purchased for the purpose of being attached to those trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers as a part thereof.  In lieu of a person providing documentation regarding the qualifying use of each individual trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer, that person may document such qualifying use by providing documentation of the following:
(1) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is     dedicated to a motor vehicle that qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of this Section, then that trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under this subsection.
(2) If a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is     dedicated to a group of motor vehicles that all qualify as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of this Section, then that trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under this subsection.
(3) If one or more trailers, semitrailers, or pole     trailers are dedicated to a group of motor vehicles and not all of those motor vehicles in that group qualify as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of this Section, then the percentage of those trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers that qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under this subsection is equal to the percentage of those motor vehicles in that group that qualify as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under subsection (c) of this Section to which those trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers are dedicated.   However, to determine the qualification for the exemption provided under this item (3), the mathematical application of the qualifying percentage to one or more trailers, semitrailers, or pole trailers under this subpart shall not be allowed as to any fraction of a trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer.
(d-5) For motor vehicles and trailers purchased on or after July 1, 2017, "use as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce" means that:
(1) the motor vehicle or trailer is used to transport     persons or property for hire;
(2) for purposes of the exemption under subsection     (c) of Section 3-55, the purchaser who is an owner, lessor, or shipper claiming the exemption certifies that the motor vehicle or trailer will be utilized, from the time of purchase and continuing through the statute of limitations for issuing a notice of tax liability under this Act, by an interstate carrier or carriers for hire who hold, and are required by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations to hold, an active USDOT Number with the Carrier Operation listed as "Interstate" and the Operation Classification listed as "authorized for hire", "exempt for hire", or both "authorized for hire" and "exempt for hire"; except that this paragraph (2) does not apply to a motor vehicle or trailer used  at an airport to support the operation of an aircraft moving in interstate commerce, as long as (i) in the case of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle meets paragraphs (1) and (3) of this subsection (d-5) or (ii) in the case of a trailer, the trailer meets paragraph (1) of this subsection (d-5); and
(3) for motor vehicles, the gross vehicle weight     rating exceeds 16,000 pounds.
The definition of "use as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce" in this subsection (d-5) applies to all property purchased on or after July 1, 2017 for the purpose of being attached to a motor vehicle or trailer as a part thereof, regardless of whether the motor vehicle or trailer was purchased before, on, or after July 1, 2017.
If an item ceases to meet requirements (1) through (3) under this subsection (d-5), then the tax is imposed on the selling price, allowing for a reasonable depreciation for the period during which the item qualified for the exemption.
For purposes of this subsection (d-5):
"Motor vehicle" excludes limousines, but otherwise     means that term as defined in Section 1-146 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
"Trailer" means (i) "trailer", as defined in Section     1-209 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, (ii) "semitrailer", as defined in Section 1-187 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and (iii) "pole trailer", as defined in Section 1-161 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
(e) For aircraft and watercraft purchased on or after January 1, 2014, "use as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce" in paragraph (c) of Section 3-55 occurs when, during a 12-month period, the rolling stock has carried persons or property for hire in interstate commerce for greater than 50% of its total trips for that period or for greater than 50% of its total miles for that period.  The person claiming the exemption shall make an election at the time of purchase to use either the trips or mileage method and document that election in their books and records.  If no election is made under this subsection to use the trips or mileage method, the person shall be deemed to have chosen the mileage method.  For aircraft, flight hours may be used in lieu of recording miles in determining whether the aircraft meets the mileage test in this subsection.  For watercraft, nautical miles or trip hours may be used in lieu of recording miles in determining whether the watercraft meets the mileage test in this subsection.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, property purchased on or after January 1, 2014 for the purpose of being attached to aircraft or watercraft as a part thereof qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce only if the aircraft or watercraft to which it will be attached qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under the test set forth in this subsection (e), regardless of when the aircraft or watercraft was purchased. Persons who purchased aircraft or watercraft prior to January 1, 2014 shall make an election to use either the trips or mileage method and document that election in their books and records for the purpose of determining whether property purchased on or after January 1, 2014 for the purpose of being attached to aircraft or watercraft as a part thereof qualifies as rolling stock moving in interstate commerce under this subsection (e).
(f) The election to use either the trips or mileage method made under the provisions of subsections (c), (d), or (e) of this Section will remain in effect for the duration of the purchaser's ownership of that item.

Sec. 3-85. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. For purchases of machinery and
equipment made on and after January 1, 1995 through June 30, 2003, and on and after September 1, 2004 through August 30, 2014,
a
purchaser of manufacturing
machinery and equipment that qualifies for the exemption provided by
paragraph (18) of Section 3-5 of this Act earns a credit in an amount equal to
a fixed percentage of the tax which would have been incurred under this Act on
those purchases.
For purchases of graphic arts machinery and equipment made on or after July
1, 1996 and through June 30, 2003,  and on and after September 1, 2004 through August 30, 2014, a purchaser of graphic arts machinery
and equipment that qualifies for
the exemption provided by paragraph (6) of Section 3-5 of this Act earns a
credit in an amount equal to a fixed percentage of the tax that would have been
incurred under this Act on those purchases.
The credit earned for purchases of manufacturing machinery and equipment or
graphic arts machinery and equipment shall be referred to as the
Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit.
A graphic arts producer is a person engaged in graphic arts production as
defined in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.  Beginning July
1, 1996, all references in this Section to manufacturers or manufacturing shall
also be deemed to refer to graphic arts producers or graphic arts production.
The amount of credit shall be a percentage of the tax that would have
been incurred on the purchase of manufacturing machinery and equipment
or graphic arts machinery and equipment
if the exemptions provided by paragraph (6) or paragraph
(18) of Section 3-5
of this Act had not been applicable. The percentage shall be as follows:
(1) 15% for purchases made on or before June 30, 1995.
(2) 25% for purchases made after June 30, 1995, and     on or before June 30, 1996.
(3) 40% for purchases made after June 30, 1996, and     on or before June 30, 1997.
(4) 50% for purchases made on or after July 1, 1997.
(a) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1, 2003.  This subsection (a) applies to Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1, 2003. A purchaser of production related tangible personal property desiring to use
the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall certify to the seller prior to
October 1, 2003 that the
purchaser is satisfying all or part of the liability under the Use Tax Act or
the Service Use Tax Act that is due on the
purchase of the production related tangible personal property by use of
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
certification must be dated and shall include the name and address of the
purchaser, the purchaser's registration number, if registered, the credit being
applied, and a statement that the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability is
being satisfied with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's
accumulated purchase credit.
Certification may be incorporated into the manufacturer's or graphic arts
producer's purchase order.
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification provided by the manufacturer
or graphic
arts producer prior to October 1, 2003 may be used to
satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's liability under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act or Service Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to
exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but
only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
claimed as required by the Department.  A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
reported on any original or amended return
filed under
this Act after October 20, 2003 shall be disallowed.  The Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit
earned by purchase of exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment
or graphic arts machinery and equipment is a non-transferable credit. A
manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters into a
contract involving the installation of tangible personal property
into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic arts production facility
may, prior to October 1, 2003, authorize a construction contractor
to utilize credit accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer
to
purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or graphic arts
producer
intending to use accumulated credit to purchase such tangible personal
property shall execute a written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize
a specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall furnish, prior to
October 1, 2003, the supplier
with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's name, registration or
resale
number, and a statement that a specific amount of the Use Tax or Service Use
Tax liability, not to exceed 6.25% of the selling price, is being satisfied
with the credit. The manufacturer or graphic arts producer shall remain
liable to timely report all
information required by the annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
Used for all credit utilized by a construction contractor.
No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned prior to July 1, 2003 may be used after October 1, 2003. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy liability under the
Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due on the purchase of production
related tangible personal property (including purchases by a manufacturer, by
a graphic arts producer, or by
a lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a manufacturer or
graphic arts producer)
that does not otherwise qualify
for the manufacturing machinery and equipment
exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment exemption.
"Production related
tangible personal property" means (i) all tangible personal property used or
consumed by the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a manufacturing
process described in Section 2-45 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes
place, including tangible personal property purchased for incorporation into
real estate within a manufacturing facility
and including, but not limited to, tangible
personal property used or consumed in activities such as preproduction material
handling, receiving, quality control, inventory control, storage, staging, and
packaging for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a graphic arts facility
in which graphic arts production as described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible personal property purchased
for incorporation into real estate within a graphic arts facility and
including, but not limited to, all tangible personal property used or consumed
in activities such as graphic arts preliminary or pre-press production,
pre-production material handling, receiving, quality control, inventory
control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling, mailing, tying, wrapping, and
packaging; and (iii)  all tangible
personal property used or consumed by the purchaser
for research and development.
"Production related tangible personal property" does not include (i) tangible
personal property used, within or without a manufacturing facility, in sales,
purchasing, accounting, fiscal management, marketing, personnel recruitment or
selection, or landscaping or (ii) tangible personal property required to be
titled or registered with a department, agency, or unit of federal, state, or
local government.  The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used, prior to
October 1, 2003, to satisfy
the tax arising either from the purchase of
machinery and equipment on or after January 1,
1995 for which the exemption
provided by paragraph (18) of Section 3-5 of this Act was
erroneously claimed, or the purchase of machinery and equipment on or after
July 1, 1996 for which the exemption provided by paragraph (6) of Section 3-5
of this Act was erroneously claimed, but not in
satisfaction of penalty, if any, and interest for failure to pay the tax
when due. A
purchaser of production related tangible personal property who is required to
pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase directly to the
Department may, prior to October 1, 2003, utilize the Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit in satisfaction of
the tax arising from that purchase, but not in
satisfaction of penalty and interest.
A purchaser who uses the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to purchase property
which is later determined not to be production related tangible personal
property may be liable for tax, penalty, and interest on the purchase of that
property as of the date of purchase but shall be entitled to use the disallowed
Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit, so long as it has not expired and is used prior to October 1, 2003,
on qualifying purchases of production
related tangible personal property not previously subject to credit usage.
The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by a manufacturer or graphic arts
producer
expires the last day of the second calendar year following the
calendar year in which the credit arose.  No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
may be used after September 30, 2003
regardless of
when that credit was earned.
A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall sign and file an
annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned for each calendar year
no later than the last day of the sixth month following the calendar year in
which a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned.  A Report of Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms as prescribed or approved by the
Department and shall state, for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total
purchase price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts
machinery on which the
credit was earned; (ii) the total State Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would
have been due on those items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount
of credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such other
information as the Department may reasonably require.  A purchaser earning
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain records which identify, as to
each purchase of manufacturing or graphic arts machinery and equipment
on which the purchaser
earned Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if applicable,
either the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer Identification
Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
earned on each purchase.
A purchaser using Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall sign and file an
annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for each calendar year no
later than the last day of the sixth month following the calendar year in which
a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is used. A Report of Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit Used
shall be filed on forms as prescribed or approved by the Department and
shall state, for each month of the calendar year:  (i) the total purchase price
of production related tangible personal property purchased from Illinois
suppliers; (ii) the total purchase price of production related tangible
personal property purchased from out-of-state suppliers; (iii) the total amount
of credit used during such month; and (iv) such
other information as the Department may reasonably require.  A purchaser using
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall maintain records that identify, as to
each purchase of production related tangible personal property on which the
purchaser used Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, the vendor (including, if
applicable, either the vendor's registration number or Federal Employer
Identification Number), the purchase price, and the amount of Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit used on each purchase.
No annual report shall be filed before May 1, 1996 or after June 30,
2004. A purchaser that fails to
file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned or an annual
Report of Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit Used by the last day of the sixth month following the
end of the calendar year shall forfeit all Manufacturer's Purchase Credit for
that calendar year unless it establishes that its failure to file was due to
reasonable cause. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit reports may be amended
to report and claim credit on qualifying purchases not previously reported at
any time before the credit would have expired, unless both the Department and
the purchaser have agreed to an extension of
the statute of limitations for the issuance of a notice of tax liability as
provided in Section 4 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. If the time for
assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports for a calendar
year may be filed at any time prior to the date to which the statute of
limitations for the calendar year or portion thereof has been extended.
No Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit report filed with the Department for periods prior to January 1, 1995
shall be approved.
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit claimed on an amended report may be used,
until October 1, 2003, to
satisfy tax liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act (i) on
qualifying purchases of production related tangible personal property made
after the date the amended report is filed or (ii) assessed by the Department
on qualifying purchases of production related tangible personal property made
in the case of manufacturers
on or after January 1, 1995, or in the case of graphic arts producers on or
after July 1, 1996.
If the purchaser is not the manufacturer or a graphic arts producer, but
rents or
leases the use of the property to a manufacturer or graphic arts producer,
the purchaser may earn,
report, and use Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in the same manner as a
manufacturer or graphic arts producer.
A purchaser shall not be entitled to any Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit for a purchase that is required to be reported and is not timely
reported as provided in this Section.  A purchaser remains liable for (i) any
tax that was satisfied by use of a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, as of the
date of purchase, if that use is not timely reported as required in this
Section and (ii) for any applicable penalties and interest for failing to pay
the tax when due.  No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used after
September 30, 2003 to
satisfy any
tax liability imposed under this Act, including any audit liability.
(b) Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and after September 1, 2004.  This subsection (b) applies to Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on and after September 1, 2004. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned on or after September 1, 2004 may only be used to satisfy the Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability incurred on production related tangible personal property purchased on or after September 1, 2004.  A purchaser of production related tangible personal property desiring to use the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall certify to the seller that the purchaser is satisfying all or part of the liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act that is due on the purchase of the production related tangible personal property by use of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification must be dated and shall include the name and address of the purchaser, the purchaser's registration number, if registered, the credit being applied, and a statement that the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability is being satisfied with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's accumulated purchase credit. Certification may be incorporated into the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's purchase order. Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification provided by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's liability under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase, but only if the retailer or serviceman reports the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit claimed as required by the Department.  The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by purchase of exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment or graphic arts machinery and equipment is a non-transferable credit. A manufacturer or graphic arts producer that enters into a contract involving the installation of tangible personal property into real estate within a manufacturing or graphic arts production facility may, on or after September 1, 2004, authorize a construction contractor to utilize credit accumulated by the manufacturer or graphic arts producer to purchase the tangible personal property. A manufacturer or graphic arts producer intending to use accumulated credit to purchase such tangible personal property shall execute a written contract authorizing the contractor to utilize a specified dollar amount of credit. The contractor shall furnish the supplier with the manufacturer's or graphic arts producer's name, registration or resale number, and a statement that a specific amount of the Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability, not to exceed 6.25% of the selling price, is being satisfied with the credit. The manufacturer or graphic arts producer shall remain liable to timely report all information required by the annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Used for all credit utilized by a construction contractor.
The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act due on the purchase, made on or after September 1, 2004, of production related tangible personal property (including purchases by a manufacturer, by a graphic arts producer, or by a lessor who rents or leases the use of the property to a manufacturer or graphic arts producer) that does not otherwise qualify for the manufacturing machinery and equipment exemption or the graphic arts machinery and equipment exemption. "Production related tangible personal property" means (i) all tangible personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a manufacturing facility in which a manufacturing process described in Section 2-45 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate within a manufacturing facility and including, but not limited to, tangible personal property used or consumed in activities such as preproduction material handling, receiving, quality control, inventory control, storage, staging, and packaging for shipping and transportation purposes; (ii) all tangible personal property used or consumed by the purchaser in a graphic arts facility in which graphic arts production as described in Section 2-30 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act takes place, including tangible personal property purchased for incorporation into real estate within a graphic arts facility and including, but not limited to, all tangible personal property used or consumed in activities such as graphic arts preliminary or pre-press production, pre-production material handling, receiving, quality control, inventory control, storage, staging, sorting, labeling, mailing, tying, wrapping, and packaging; and (iii) all tangible personal property used or consumed by the purchaser for research and development. "Production related tangible personal property" does not include (i) tangible personal property used, within or without a manufacturing facility, in sales, purchasing, accounting, fiscal management, marketing, personnel recruitment or selection, or landscaping or (ii) tangible personal property required to be titled or registered with a department, agency, or unit of federal, state, or local government. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used to satisfy the tax arising either from the purchase of machinery and equipment on or after September 1, 2004 for which the exemption provided by paragraph (18) of Section 3-5 of this Act was erroneously claimed, or the purchase of machinery and equipment on or after September 1, 2004 for which the exemption provided by paragraph (6) of Section 3-5 of this Act was erroneously claimed, but not in satisfaction of penalty, if any, and interest for failure to pay the tax when due. A purchaser of production related tangible personal property that is purchased on or after September 1, 2004 who is required to pay Illinois Use Tax or Service Use Tax on the purchase directly to the Department may utilize the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit in satisfaction of the tax arising from that purchase, but not in satisfaction of penalty and interest. A purchaser who uses the Manufacturer's Purchase Credit to purchase property on and after September 1, 2004 which is later determined not to be production related tangible personal property may be liable for tax, penalty, and interest on the purchase of that property as of the date of purchase but shall be entitled to use the disallowed Manufacturer's Purchase Credit, so long as it has not expired and is used on qualifying purchases of production related tangible personal property not previously subject to credit usage. The Manufacturer's Purchase Credit earned by a manufacturer or graphic arts producer expires the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the credit arose.

A purchaser earning Manufacturer's Purchase Credit shall sign and file an annual Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned for each calendar year no later than the last day of the sixth month following the calendar year in which a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit is earned. A Report of Manufacturer's Purchase Credit Earned shall be filed on forms as prescribed or approved by the Department and shall state, for each month of the calendar year: (i) the total purchase price of all purchases of exempt manufacturing or graphic arts machinery on which the credit was earned; (ii) the total State Use Tax or Service Use Tax which would have been due on those items; (iii) the percentage used to calculate the amount of credit earned; (iv) the amount of credit earned; and (v) such other information as the Department may reasonably require.

If the time for assessment or refund has been extended, then amended reports for a calendar year may be filed at any time prior to the date to which the statute of limitations for the calendar year or portion thereof has been extended.  Manufacturer's Purchase Credit claimed on an amended report may be used to satisfy tax liability under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act (i) on qualifying purchases of production related tangible personal property made after the date the amended report is filed or (ii) assessed by the Department on qualifying production related tangible personal property purchased on or after September 1, 2004.

Sec. 3-87. Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit.
(a) From July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2032, sustainable aviation fuel sold to or used by an air common carrier, certified by the carrier to be used in Illinois, earns a credit in the amount of $1.50 per gallon of sustainable aviation fuel purchased. The credit earned shall be referred to as the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit.
Only that portion of each gallon of aviation fuel that consists of sustainable aviation fuel, as defined in this Section, is eligible to earn the credit.
The credit is earned at the time sustainable aviation fuel is purchased for use in Illinois.  The amount of credit that is earned is based on the number of whole gallons of sustainable aviation fuel purchased for use in Illinois. Partial gallons will not earn a credit. Credits may be used at the same time as they are earned.
For a sale or use of aviation fuel to qualify to earn the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit, taxpayers must retain in their books and records a certification from the producer of the aviation fuel that the aviation fuel sold or used and for which a sustainable aviation fuel purchase credit was earned meets the definition of sustainable aviation fuel under this Section. The documentation must include detail sufficient for the Department to determine the number of gallons of sustainable aviation fuel sold or used.
A Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit earned by an air common carrier expires on December 31, 2032.  The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit is non-transferable and non-refundable. Taxpayers shall account for the earning and usage of Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credits on each monthly return filed with the Department, as deemed necessary by the Department.
The purchaser of sustainable aviation fuel shall certify to the seller of the aviation fuel that the purchaser is satisfying all or part of its liability for the 6.25% tax under the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act that is due on the purchase of aviation fuel by use of the sustainable aviation fuel purchase credit.
The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit certification must be dated and shall include the name and address of the purchaser, the purchaser's registration number, if registered, the credit being applied, and a statement that the State Use Tax or Service Use Tax liability is being satisfied with the air common carrier's sustainable aviation fuel purchase credit.
An air common carrier-purchaser of aviation fuel may utilize the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit in satisfaction of the 6.25% tax arising from the purchase of aviation fuel, but not in satisfaction of penalty or interest.
Until January 1, 2033, on an annual basis, running from January through December each year, no credit may be earned by an air common carrier for soybean oil-derived sustainable aviation fuel once air common carriers in this State have collectively purchased sustainable aviation fuel containing 10,000,000 gallons of soybean oil feedstock. If, in any year, air common carriers collectively purchase sustainable aviation fuel containing more than 10,000,000 gallons of soybean oil feedstock for use in this State, then, in the month in which taxpayer reporting shows that the credit earned from these purchases exceeds the cap, the Department shall first determine the remaining number of gallons of soybean oil feedstock available to earn the credit for that year by subtracting from 10,000,000 the number of gallons of soybean oil feedstock collectively purchased that year based on the prior month's taxpayer reporting.  The Department shall then allocate the credit from these remaining gallons of soybean oil feedstock available to earn the credit for that year by allowing credit to each air common carrier in the same proportion as the number of gallons of soybean oil feedstock reported as having been purchased by each air common carrier during the month in which the cap is exceeded is to all of the gallons of soybean oil feedstock reported as having been purchased during that month. The earning of any credit in excess of this shall be disallowed for the remainder of the year.  For any credit that was used, the earning of which was disallowed in the process described in this paragraph, any resulting tax shall be due on or before April 20th of the year following the year in which the 10,000,000 gallon cap on soybean oil feedstock was exceeded and shall be reported and paid on the aviation fuel tax return. Any credit that is earned for the purchase of soybean oil feedstock but not timely reported in a year in which the cap is exceeded is disallowed.
A Sustainable Aviation Fuel Purchase Credit certification provided by the air common carrier may be used to satisfy the retailer's or serviceman's 6.25% tax liability on aviation fuel under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or Service Occupation Tax Act for the credit claimed.
(b) As used in this Section, "sustainable aviation fuel" means liquid fuel that meets the criteria set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of Section 40B of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or:
(1) consists of synthesized hydrocarbons and meets     the requirements of:
(A) the American Society for Testing and         Materials International Standard D7566; or
(B) the Fischer-Tropsch provisions of American         Society for Testing and Materials International Standard D1655, Annex A1;
(2) prior to June 1, 2028, is derived from biomass     resources, waste streams, renewable energy sources, or gaseous carbon oxides, and beginning on June 1, 2028 is derived from domestic biomass resources;
(3) is not derived from any palm derivatives; and
(4) the fuel production pathway for the sustainable     aviation fuel achieves at least a 50% lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reduction in comparison with petroleum-based jet fuel, as determined by a test that shows:
(A) that the fuel production pathway achieves at         least a 50% reduction of the aggregate attributional core lifecycle emissions and the positive induced land use change values under the lifecycle methodology for sustainable aviation fuels adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization with the agreement of the United States; or
(B) that the fuel production pathway achieves at         least a 50% reduction of the aggregate attributional core lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions values utilizing the most recent version of Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model, inclusive of agricultural practices and carbon capture and sequestration.

Sec. 3-90. Sunset of exemptions, credits, and deductions.
(a) The application
of every exemption, credit, and deduction against tax imposed by this Act that
becomes law after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1994 shall be
limited by a reasonable and appropriate sunset date.  A taxpayer is not
entitled to take the exemption, credit, or deduction beginning on the sunset
date and thereafter. Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Section, if a reasonable and appropriate sunset date is not
specified in the Public Act that creates the exemption, credit, or deduction, a
taxpayer shall not be entitled to take the exemption, credit, or deduction
beginning 5 years after the effective date of the Public Act creating the
exemption, credit, or deduction and thereafter.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, the sunset date of any exemption, credit, or deduction that is scheduled to expire in 2011, 2012, or 2013 by operation of this Section shall be extended by 5 years.

Sec. 3a. 
The tax imposed by the Act shall when collected be stated as
a distinct item separate and apart from the selling price of the tangible
personal property. However, where it is not possible to state the sales
tax separately in situations such as sales from vending machines or sales
of liquor by the drink the Department may by rule exempt such sales from
this requirement so long as purchasers are notified by a sign that the tax
is included in the selling price.
In addition, retailers who sell items that would have been taxed at the 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly shall, to the extent feasible, include the following statement on any cash register tape, receipt, invoice, or sales ticket issued to customers: "From July 1, 2022 through July 1, 2023, the State of Illinois sales tax on groceries is 0%.". If it is not feasible for the retailer to include the statement on any cash register tape, receipt, invoice, or sales ticket issued to customers, then the retailer shall  post the statement on a sign that is clearly visible to customers.

prima facie evidence that such tangible personal property was sold for use

Sec. 5. 
		
		Except as to motor vehicles and other items of tangible personal
property that must be titled or registered under an Illinois
law, but that cannot be so titled or registered without a use
tax receipt or exemption determination from the Department, every retailer
maintaining a place of business in this State and making sales of tangible
personal property for use in this State (whether those sales
are made within or without this State) shall, when collecting the tax as
provided in Section 3-45 of this Act from the purchaser, give to
the purchaser (if demanded by the purchaser) a receipt for the tax in
the manner and form prescribed by the Department. The receipt shall
be sufficient to relieve the purchaser from further
liability for the tax to which the receipt may refer. Each retailer
shall list with the Department the names and addresses of
all of his or her agents operating in this State and the location
of any and all of his or her distribution or sales houses, offices,
or other places of business in this State.

Sec. 6. 
		
		A retailer maintaining a place of business in this State, if
required to register under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, need not
obtain an additional Certificate of Registration under this Act, but shall
be deemed to be sufficiently registered by virtue of his being registered
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. Every retailer maintaining a place
of business in this State, if not required to register under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, shall apply to the Department (upon a form prescribed
and furnished by the Department) for a Certificate of Registration under
this Act. In completing such application, the applicant shall furnish such
information as the Department may reasonably require. Upon approval of an
application for Certificate of Registration, the Department shall issue,
without charge, a Certificate of Registration to the applicant. Such
Certificate of Registration shall be displayed at the address which the
applicant states in his application to be the principal place of business
or location from which he will act as a retailer in this State. If the
applicant will act as a retailer in this State from other places of
business or locations, he shall list the addresses of such additional
places of business or locations in this application for Certificate of
Registration, and the Department shall issue a Sub-Certificate of
Registration to the applicant for each such additional place of business or
location. Each Sub-Certificate of Registration shall be conspicuously
displayed at the place for which it is issued. Such Sub-Certificate of
Registration shall bear the same registration number as that appearing upon
the Certificate of Registration to which such Sub-Certificates relate.
Where a retailer operates more than one place of business which is subject
to registration under this Section and such businesses are substantially
different in character or are engaged in under different trade names or are
engaged in under other substantially dissimilar circumstances (so that it
is more practicable, from an accounting, auditing or bookkeeping
standpoint, for such businesses to be separately registered), the
Department may require or permit such person to apply for and obtain a
separate Certificate of Registration for each such business or for any of
such businesses instead of registering such person, as to all such
businesses, under a single Certificate of Registration supplemented by
related Sub-Certificates of Registration. No Certificate of Registration
shall be issued to any person who is in default to the State of Illinois
for moneys due hereunder.
The Department may, in its discretion, upon application, authorize the
collection of the tax herein imposed by any retailer not maintaining a
place of business within this State, who, to the satisfaction of the
Department, furnishes adequate security to insure collection and payment of
the tax. Such retailer shall be issued, without charge, a permit to collect
such tax. When so authorized, it shall be the duty of such retailer to
collect the tax upon all tangible personal property sold to his knowledge
for use within this State, in the same manner and subject to the same
requirements, including the furnishing of a receipt to the purchaser (if
demanded by the purchaser), as a retailer maintaining a place of business
within this State. The receipt given to the purchaser shall be sufficient
to relieve him from further liability for the tax to which such receipt may
refer. Such permit may be revoked by the Department as provided herein.

Sec. 7. 
		
		
		It is unlawful for any retailer to advertise or hold out or state to the
public or to any purchaser, consumer or user, directly or indirectly, that
the tax or any part thereof imposed by Section 3 hereof will be assumed or
absorbed by the retailer or that it will not be added to the selling price
of the property sold, or if added that it or any part thereof will be
refunded other than when the retailer refunds the selling price and tax
because of the merchandise's being returned to the retailer or other than
when the retailer credits or refunds the tax to the purchaser to support a
claim filed with the Department under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or
under this Act. Any person violating any of the provisions of this Section
within this State shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.

(35 ILCS 105/8) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.8)
Sec. 8. 
		
		Any retailer required to collect the tax imposed by this Act shall
be liable to the Department for such tax, whether or not the tax has been
collected by the retailer, except when the retailer is relieved of the duty of
remitting the tax to the Department by virtue of having paid a tax imposed by
the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act upon his or her gross receipts from the
same transactions.  To the extent that a retailer required to collect the tax
imposed by this Act has actually collected that tax, such tax is held in trust
for the benefit of the Department.
(Source: P.A. 91-203, eff. 7-20-99.)
(35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and
trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this State,
each retailer
required or authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided)
at the time when he is required to file his return for the period during
which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the retailer
for expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records, preparing
and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to the
Department on request. When determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 6.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday items under Public Act 102-700. The discount under this Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. When determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700.  In the case of retailers who report and pay the
tax on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this Section,
such discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of
when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become final.  A retailer need not remit
that part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the same property.
Where such tangible personal property is sold under a conditional
sales contract, or under any other form of sale wherein the payment of
the principal sum, or a part thereof, is extended beyond the close of
the period for which the return is filed, the retailer, in collecting
the tax (except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and
trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this State),
may collect for each
tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of the selling
price actually received during such tax return period.
Except as provided in this Section, on or before the twentieth day of each
calendar month, such retailer shall file a return for the preceding
calendar month.  Such return shall be filed on forms prescribed by the
Department and shall furnish such information as the Department may
reasonably require. The return shall include the gross receipts on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption) which were received during the preceding calendar month, quarter, or year, as appropriate, and upon which tax would have been due but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700. The return shall also include the amount of tax that would have been due on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption) but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700.
On and after January 1, 2018, except for returns required to be filed prior to January 1, 2023 for motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this State, with respect to retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be filed electronically. On and after January 1, 2023, with respect to retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act, including, but not limited to, returns for motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this State, shall be filed electronically.  Retailers who demonstrate that they do not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the electronic filing requirement.
The Department may require returns to be filed on a quarterly basis.
If so required, a return for each calendar quarter shall be filed on or
before the twentieth day of the calendar month following the end of such
calendar quarter.  The taxpayer shall also file a return with the
Department for each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
before the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
1. The name of the seller;
2. The address of the principal place of business     from which he engages in the business of selling tangible personal property at retail in this State;
3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by     him during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible personal property by him during such preceding calendar month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of     this Act;
5. The amount of tax due;
5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
6. Such other reasonable information as the     Department may require.
Each retailer required or authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act on aviation fuel sold at retail in this State during the preceding calendar month shall, instead of reporting and paying tax on aviation fuel as otherwise required by this Section, report and pay such tax on a separate aviation fuel tax return.  The requirements related to the return shall be as otherwise provided in this Section.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the contrary, retailers collecting tax on aviation fuel shall file all aviation fuel tax returns and shall make all aviation fuel tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form required by the Department.  For purposes of this Section, "aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation gasoline.
If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after the proper notice
and demand for signature by the Department, the return shall be considered
valid and any amount shown to be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, retailers subject to tax on cannabis shall file all cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments by electronic means in the manner and form required by the Department.
Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average monthly tax
liability of $150,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer
who has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability
of $50,000 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all payments required by
rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.  The term "annual tax
liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and
under all other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year. The term "average
monthly tax liability" means
the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other State
and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
immediately preceding calendar year divided by 12.
Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has a tax liability in the
amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the Department of
Revenue Law shall make all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic funds transfer.
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the Department shall notify
all taxpayers required to make payments by electronic funds transfer. All
taxpayers required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic funds transfer may
make payments by electronic funds transfer with the permission of the
Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds transfer and any
taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make payments by electronic funds transfer
shall make those payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to effectuate a
program of electronic funds transfer and the requirements of this Section.
Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability
to the Department
under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more
during
the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
Department each month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make payments to the
Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
during which such liability is incurred.
On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability
to the Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
the
Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more
during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with
the Department each month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make payment to the
Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
month during
which such liability is incurred.
If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be
in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or an amount set by the Department not to
exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the
Department for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability in such 4
quarter period).  If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
begins on or after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability
for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
month of the preceding year.  If the month during which such tax liability
is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1,
1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for
the same calendar month of the preceding year.  If the month during which such
tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988, and prior to
January 1, 1989,
or begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.  If the
month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
1989,
and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5%
of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period.  The
amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final tax
liability
of the taxpayer's return for that month.  Before October 1, 2000, once
applicable, the requirement
of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall continue
until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
$9,000, or until
such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
is less than $10,000.  However, if a taxpayer can show the
Department that
a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes
the taxpayer to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000 threshold
stated above, then
such taxpayer
may petition the Department for change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of the making
of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall continue until such
taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
average monthly liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
$20,000.  However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial
change in the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to
anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then
such taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such taxpayer's
reporting status.
 The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it
finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long
term. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 had not occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in
the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for
penalties and interest on
the difference between the minimum amount due and the amount of such
quarter monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the Department in
excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the
quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds the taxpayer's
liabilities under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original
monthly return, the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit
memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department in payment of
tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the Department
or be assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
be prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess payment is
shown on an original monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no
credit memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.  If no
such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against
tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the Department
under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation
Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
regulations prescribed by the Department.  If the Department subsequently
determines that all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be
reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken and
that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
interest on such difference.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly return and if the
retailer's average monthly tax liability to the Department
does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize his returns to be
filed on a quarter annual basis, with the return for January, February,
and March of a given year being due by April 20 of such year; with the
return for April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
such year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
October, November and December of a given year being due by January 20
of the following year.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or quarterly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to the
Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize his returns to
be filed on an annual basis, with the return for a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning the time
within which a retailer may file his return, in the case of any retailer
who ceases to engage in a kind of business which makes him responsible
for filing returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
return under this Act with the Department not more than one month after
discontinuing such business.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of
this State, except as otherwise provided in this Section, every
retailer selling this kind of tangible personal property shall file,
with the Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible personal
property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
trailers transfers more than
one aircraft, watercraft, motor
vehicle or trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
trailer retailer for the purpose of resale
or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a
purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of
this Act, then
that seller may report the transfer of all the
aircraft, watercraft, motor
vehicles
or trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on the same
uniform
invoice-transaction reporting return form.
For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or
Class
4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act,
a
personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the business of leasing or renting such items and who, in connection with such business, sells any such item to a retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form on or before the 20th of the month following the month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the Department.
The transaction reporting return in the case of motor vehicles
or trailers that are required to be registered with an agency of this
State, shall
be the same document as the Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402
of the Illinois Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the traded-in
tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of
this Act allows an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the
balance payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the total
selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the
retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is
not due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact);
the place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of the
property sold; such other information as is required in Section 5-402 of
the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the Department
may reasonably require.
The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
and aircraft must show
the name and address of the seller; the name and address of the
purchaser; the amount of the selling price including the amount allowed
by the retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by
the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to
the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the
value of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of tax due
from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax
collected from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that particular
instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
information as the Department may reasonably require.
Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later than 20
days after the date of delivery of the item that is being sold, but may
be filed by the retailer at any time sooner than that if he chooses to
do so.  The transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of
exemption from the tax that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to
the Department by way of the State agency with which, or State officer
with whom, the tangible personal property must be titled or registered
(if titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
agency or State officer determine that this procedure will expedite the
processing of applications for title or registration.
With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer shall remit
the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit satisfactory evidence that
the sale is not taxable if that is the case), to the Department or its
agents, whereupon the Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a
tax receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with whom, he must
title or register the tangible personal property that is involved (if
titling or registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
registration to such tangible personal property.
No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this Act
precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the retailer, from
obtaining his certificate of title or other evidence of title or
registration (if titling or registration is required) upon satisfying
the Department that such user has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to
the retailer.  The Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out
the mandate of this paragraph.
If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer wants the
transaction reporting return filed and the payment of tax or proof of
exemption made to the Department before the retailer is willing to take
these actions and such user has not paid the tax to the retailer, such
user may certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may
(upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such certification)
transmit the information required by the transaction reporting return
and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to the
Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption determination, in
which event the transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a
tax payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to the
proper retailer's account with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75%
discount provided for in this Section being allowed.  When the user pays
the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same
amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax had
been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the selling price
of tangible personal property which he sells and the purchaser
thereafter returns such tangible personal property and the retailer
refunds the selling price thereof to the purchaser, such retailer shall
also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser.
When filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to
the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so refunded
by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which such retailer may
be required to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
if the amount of the tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the
Department by such retailer.  If the retailer has not previously
remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also include
(for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax covered by such
return upon the selling price of tangible personal property purchased by
him at retail from a retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this
Act was not collected from the retailer filing such return, and such
retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department when
filing such return.
If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the Department
may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint return which will
enable retailers, who are required to file returns hereunder and also
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return
information required by both Acts on the one form.
Where the retailer has more than one business registered with the
Department under separate registration under this Act, such retailer may
not file each return that is due as a single return covering all such
registered businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
registered business.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall pay into the
State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special fund in the State Treasury
which is hereby created, the net revenue realized for the preceding month
from the 1% tax imposed under this Act.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall pay into
the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the net revenue realized

price of tangible personal property, other than (i) tangible personal property
which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is
titled or registered by an agency of this State's government and (ii) aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019.  This exception for aviation fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of aviation fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation fuel under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund.  The Department shall only pay moneys into the State Aviation Program Fund and the Aviation Fuels Sales Tax Refund Fund under this Act for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
Beginning August 1, 2000, each
month the Department shall pay into the
State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the net revenue realized for the
preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of motor fuel and
gasohol. If, in any month, the tax on sales tax holiday items, as defined in Section 3-6, is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the Department shall pay 100% of the net revenue realized for that month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of sales tax holiday items into the
State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall pay into
the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue realized for the
preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of
tangible personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail
from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of this
State's government.
Beginning October 1, 2009, each month the Department shall pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that are now taxed at 6.25%.
Beginning July 1, 2011, each
month the Department shall pay into the Clean Air Act Permit Fund 80% of the net revenue realized for the
preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of sorbents used in Illinois in the process of sorbent injection as used to comply with the Environmental Protection Act or the federal Clean Air Act, but the total payment into the Clean Air Act Permit Fund under this Act and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed $2,000,000 in any fiscal year.
Beginning July 1, 2013, each month the Department shall pay into the Underground Storage Tank Fund from the proceeds collected under this Act, the Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act an amount equal to the average monthly deficit in the Underground Storage Tank Fund during the prior year, as certified annually by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, but the total payment into the Underground Storage Tank Fund under this Act, the Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed $18,000,000 in any State fiscal year. As used in this paragraph, the "average monthly deficit" shall be equal to the difference between the average monthly claims for payment by the fund and the average monthly revenues deposited into the fund, excluding payments made pursuant to this paragraph.
Beginning July 1, 2015, of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department under  this Act, the Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, each month the Department shall deposit $500,000 into the State Crime Laboratory Fund.
Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department pursuant to
this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid
into the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and
on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal year the
sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case may be, of the
moneys received by the Department and required to be paid into the Build
Illinois Fund pursuant to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use
Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as
the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount",
and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the State
and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified
Amount (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), an
amount equal to the difference shall be immediately paid into the Build
Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the
Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the last business day of any
month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into the
Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund during such month
and (2) the amount transferred during such month to the Build Illinois Fund
from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than
1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference
shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys
received by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and,
further provided, that in no event shall the payments required under the
preceding proviso result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund
pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater
of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount for such
fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts payable into the Build
Illinois Fund under this clause (b) shall be payable only until such time
as the aggregate amount on deposit under each trust
indenture securing Bonds issued and outstanding pursuant to the Build
Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking into account any future investment
income, to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the
defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and on any Bonds expected
to be issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable with respect thereto,
all as certified by the Director of the
Bureau of the Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget).  If
on the last
business day of any month in which Bonds are outstanding pursuant to the
Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the moneys deposited
in the Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such month
shall be less than the amount required to be transferred in such month from
the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond Retirement and
Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act, an
amount equal to such deficiency shall be immediately paid
from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts
to the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the
Build Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding
sentence and shall reduce the amount otherwise payable for such fiscal year
pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence.  The moneys received by
the Department pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the
Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and charge set forth
in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond Act.
Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund as provided in

Occupation Tax Act, and Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act into

under this Act for the second preceding month.

and shall not be made.
Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue collected
by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount paid out during that
month as refunds to taxpayers for overpayment of liability.
For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers, importers
and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in Illinois by
numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may assume the responsibility
for accounting and paying to the Department all tax accruing under this
Act with respect to such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not

Sec. 10. Except as to motor vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, and
trailers, and except as to cigarettes as defined in the Cigarette Use Tax Act, when tangible personal
property is
purchased from a retailer for use in this State by a purchaser
who did not pay the tax imposed by this Act to the retailer, and a purchaser who does not
file returns with the Department as a retailer under Section 9 of this
Act, such purchaser (by the last day of the month following the calendar
month in which such purchaser makes any payment upon the selling price of
such property) shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section, file
a return with the Department and pay the tax upon that portion of the
selling price so paid by the purchaser during the preceding calendar month.

When tangible personal property, other than motor vehicles and trailers, is purchased by a lessor, under a lease for one year or longer, executed or in effect at the time of purchase to an interstate carrier for hire, who did not pay the tax imposed by this Act to the retailer, such lessor (by the last day of the month following the calendar month in which such property reverts to the use of such lessor) shall file a return with the Department and pay the tax upon the fair market value of such property on the date of such reversion. However, in determining the fair market value at the time of reversion, the fair market value of such property shall not exceed the original purchase price of the property that was paid by the lessor at the time of purchase. Such return shall be filed on
a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such information as
the Department may reasonably require.  Such return and payment from the
purchaser shall be submitted to the Department sooner than the last day of
the month after the month in which the purchase is made to the extent that
that may be necessary in order to secure the title to a motor vehicle or
the certificate of registration for an aircraft. Except as to motor vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, and trailers, and except as to cigarettes as defined in the Cigarette Use Tax Act, when tangible personal property is purchased out-of-state from a retailer by a purchaser who did not pay the tax imposed by this Act to the retailer, and a purchaser who does not file returns with the Department as a retailer under Section 9 of this Act, the liability for the tax imposed by the Act arises on the date such tangible personal property is brought into this State. The purchaser shall, within 30 days after such tangible personal property is brought into this State, file with the Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a return for the tangible personal property purchased. However, except as to motor
vehicles and aircraft, and except as to cigarettes as defined in the Cigarette Use Tax Act, if the
purchaser's annual use tax liability does not exceed $600, the purchaser
may file the return on an annual basis on or before April 15th of the year
following the year use tax liability was incurred. Individual purchasers with an annual use tax liability that does not exceed $600 may, in lieu of the filing and payment requirements in this Section, file and pay in compliance with Section 502.1 of the Illinois Income Tax Act.
If cigarettes, as defined in the Cigarette Use Tax Act, are purchased from a retailer for use in this State by a purchaser who did not pay the tax imposed by this Act to the retailer, and a purchaser who does not file returns with the Department as a retailer under Section 9 of this Act, such purchaser must, within 30 days after acquiring the cigarettes, file a return with the Department and pay the tax upon that portion of the selling price so paid by the purchaser for the cigarettes. When cigarettes, as defined in the Cigarette Use Tax Act, are purchased out-of-state from a retailer for use in this State by a purchaser who did not pay the tax imposed by this Act to the retailer, and a purchaser who does not file returns with the Department as a retailer under Section 9 of this Act, the liability for the tax imposed by the Act arises on the date such cigarettes are brought into this State. The purchaser shall, within 30 days after such cigarettes are brought into this State, file with the Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a return for the cigarettes purchased.
In addition with respect to motor vehicles,
aircraft, watercraft, and trailers, a purchaser of such tangible personal
property for use in this
State, who purchases such tangible personal property from an out-of-state
retailer, shall file with the Department, upon a form to be prescribed and
supplied by the Department, a return for each such item of tangible
personal property purchased, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
purchaser of motor vehicles,
aircraft, watercraft, or trailers who is a retailer of motor vehicles,
aircraft, watercraft, or trailers purchases more than one motor vehicle,
aircraft, watercraft, or trailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a purchaser
of motor vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, or trailers purchases more
than one motor vehicle, aircraft, watercraft, or trailer for use as qualifying
rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then the purchaser may
report the purchase of all motor vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, or trailers
involved in that transaction to the Department on a single return prescribed by
the Department.  Such return in the case of motor vehicles and
aircraft must show the name and address of the seller, the name, address of
purchaser, the amount of the selling price including the amount allowed by
the retailer for traded in property, if any; the amount allowed by the
retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value of
traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such trade-in
allowance from the total selling price; the amount of tax due from the
purchaser with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance if that is
claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a sufficient
identification of the property sold, and such other information as the
Department may reasonably require.
Such return shall be filed not later than 30 days after such motor
vehicle or aircraft is brought into this State for use.
For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or
Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and
Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard
motor.
The return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax that is
imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the Department by way of the
State agency with which, or State officer with whom, the tangible personal
property must be titled or registered (if titling or registration is
required) if the Department and such agency or State officer determine that
this procedure will expedite the processing of applications for title or
registration.
With each such return, the purchaser shall remit the proper amount of tax
due (or shall submit satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if
that is the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt (or a
certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied that the particular
sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser may submit to the agency with
which, or State officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
personal property that is involved (if titling or registration is required)
in support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois certificate or
other evidence of title or registration to such tangible personal property.
When a purchaser pays a tax imposed by this Act directly to the Department,
the Department (upon request therefor from such purchaser) shall issue an
appropriate receipt to such purchaser showing that he has paid such tax to
the Department.  Such receipt shall be sufficient to relieve the purchaser
from further liability for the tax to which such receipt may refer.
A user who is liable to pay use tax directly to the Department only
occasionally and not on a frequently recurring basis, and who is not
required to file returns with the Department as a retailer under Section 9
of this Act, or under the "Retailers' Occupation Tax Act", or as a
registrant with the Department under the "Service Occupation Tax Act" or
the "Service Use Tax Act", need not register with the Department.
However, if such a user has a frequently recurring direct use tax liability
to pay to the Department, such user shall be required to register with the
Department on forms prescribed by the Department and to obtain and display
a certificate of registration from the Department.  In that event, all of
the provisions of Section 9 of this Act concerning the filing of regular
monthly, quarterly or annual tax returns and all of the provisions of
Section 2a of the "Retailers' Occupation Tax Act" concerning the
requirements for registrants to post bond or other security with the
Department, as the provisions of such sections now exist or may hereafter
be amended, shall apply to such users to the same extent as if such
provisions were included herein.

Sec. 10.5. Individual use tax amnesty. The Department shall establish an amnesty program for all individual taxpayers owing any tax imposed under this Act for their purchases of tangible personal property from a retailer for use in this State (eligible taxes). The amnesty program shall be for a period from January 1, 2011 through October 15, 2011. The amnesty program shall provide that, upon payment by an individual taxpayer of all eligible taxes due from that taxpayer under this Act for any taxable period ending after June 30, 2004 and prior to January 1, 2011, the Department shall abate and not seek to collect any interest or penalties that may be applicable and the Department shall not seek civil or criminal prosecution for any taxpayer for these taxes for the period of time for which amnesty has been granted to the taxpayer. Failure to pay all eligible taxes due to the State for a taxable period shall invalidate any amnesty granted under this Section. Amnesty shall be granted only if all amnesty conditions are satisfied by the taxpayer.
Amnesty shall not be granted to business taxpayers. Amnesty shall not be granted to taxpayers who are a party to any criminal investigation or to any civil or criminal litigation that is pending in any circuit court or appellate court or the Supreme Court of this State for nonpayment, delinquency, or fraud in relation to eligible taxes under this Act.  Amnesty shall not be granted to any taxpayer who is under audit for eligible taxes or who is contacted in writing by the Department concerning eligible taxes prior to the taxpayer reporting and paying the eligible taxes.
Voluntary payments made under this Section shall be made by cash, check, guaranteed remittance, or ACH debit.

at retail from a retailer on or after the effective date hereof shall keep
such records, receipts, invoices and other pertinent books, documents,
memoranda and papers as the Department shall require, in such form as the
Department shall require. The Department may adopt rules that establish

thereof, may hold investigations and hearings concerning any matters covered
herein and may examine any books, papers, records, documents or memoranda of
any retailer or purchaser bearing upon the sales or purchases of tangible
personal property, the privilege of using which is taxed hereunder, and may
require the attendance of such person or any officer or employee of such
person, or of any person having knowledge of the facts, and may take testimony
and require proof for its information.
Any person who fails to keep books and records or fails to produce books and records for examination, as required by this Section and the rules adopted by the Department, is liable to pay to the Department, for deposit into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund, a penalty of $1,000 for the first failure to keep books and records or produce books and records for examination and a penalty of $3,000 for each subsequent failure to keep books and records or produce books and records for examination as required by this Section and the rules adopted by the Department. The penalties imposed under this Section shall not apply if the taxpayer shows that he or she acted with ordinary business care and prudence. The Department may adopt rules to administer the penalties under this Section.

who represents to a seller that such purchaser has a registration number or
a resale number from the Department when he knows that he does not, or who

engages in the business of selling tangible personal property at retail
after his Certificate of Registration under this Act has been revoked in
accordance with Section 12 of this Act, is guilty of a Class 4 felony.
Each day any such person is engaged in business in violation of Section 6,
or after his Certificate of Registration under this Act has been revoked,
constitutes a separate offense.

acting as the taxpayer's agent to make the payment to the Department, but who
fails to remit such payment to the Department when due is guilty of a Class 4

Any person who knowingly sells, purchases, installs, transfers, possesses, uses, or accesses any automated sales suppression device, zapper, or phantom-ware in this State is guilty of a Class 3 felony.
For the purposes of this Section:
"Automated sales suppression device" or "zapper" means a software program that falsifies the electronic records of an electronic cash register or other point-of-sale system, including, but not limited to, transaction data and transaction reports.  The term includes the software program, any device that carries the software program, or an Internet link to the software program.

Sec. 19. 
If it shall appear that an amount of tax or penalty or interest has
been paid in error hereunder to the Department by a purchaser, as distinguished
from the retailer, whether such amount be paid through a mistake of fact or
an error of law, such purchaser may file a claim for credit or refund with
the Department in accordance with Sections 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6d of the
Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act. If it shall appear that an amount of tax or penalty or
interest has been paid in error to the Department hereunder by a retailer
who is required or authorized to collect and remit the use tax, whether
such amount be paid through a mistake of fact or an error of law, such
retailer may file a claim for credit or refund with the Department in
accordance with Sections 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6d of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act,
provided that no credit or refund shall be allowed for any amount paid by
any such retailer unless it shall appear that he bore the burden of such
amount and did not shift the burden thereof to anyone else (as in the case
of a duplicated tax payment which the retailer made to the Department and
did not collect from anyone else), or unless it shall appear that he or
she or his or her legal representative has unconditionally repaid such
amount to his vendee (1) who bore the burden thereof and has not shifted
such burden directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever; (2) who, if he
has shifted such burden, has repaid unconditionally such amount to his or
her own vendee, and (3) who is not entitled to receive any reimbursement
therefor from any other source than from his vendor, nor to be relieved of
such burden in any other manner whatsoever. If it shall appear that an
amount of tax has been paid in error hereunder by the purchaser to a
retailer, who retained such tax as reimbursement for his or her tax
liability on the same sale under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and who
remitted the amount involved to the Department under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, whether such amount be paid through a mistake of fact
or an error of law, the procedure for recovering such tax shall be that
prescribed in Sections 6, 6a, 6b and 6c of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.
Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Section shall bear interest
at the rate and in the manner specified in the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act.
Any claim filed hereunder shall be filed upon a form prescribed and
furnished by the Department. The claim shall be signed by the claimant (or
by the claimant's legal representative if the claimant shall have died or
become a person under legal disability), or by a duly authorized agent of
the claimant or his or her legal representative.
A claim for credit or refund shall be considered to have been filed with
the Department on the date upon which it is received by the Department.
Upon receipt of any claim for credit or refund filed under this Act, any
officer or employee of the Department, authorized in writing by the
Director of Revenue to acknowledge receipt of such claims on behalf of the
Department, shall execute on behalf of the Department, and shall deliver or
mail to the claimant or his duly authorized agent, a written receipt,
acknowledging that the claim has been filed with the Department, describing
the claim in sufficient detail to identify it and stating the date upon
which the claim was received by the Department. Such written receipt shall
be prima facie evidence that the Department received the claim described in
such receipt and shall be prima facie evidence of the date when such claim
was received by the Department. In the absence of such a written receipt,
the records of the Department as to when the claim was received by the
Department, or as to whether or not the claim was received at all by the
Department, shall be deemed to be prima facie correct upon these questions
in the event of any dispute between the claimant (or his or her legal
representative) and the Department concerning these questions.
In case the Department determines that the claimant is entitled to a
refund, such refund shall be made only from the Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund or from such appropriation as may be
available for that purpose, as appropriate. If it appears unlikely that the amount available
 would permit everyone having a claim allowed during the period
covered by such appropriation or from the Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund, as appropriate, to elect to receive a cash refund, the
Department, by rule or regulation, shall provide for the payment of refunds in
hardship cases and shall define what types of cases qualify as hardship cases.
If a retailer who has failed to pay use tax on gross receipts from
retail sales is required by the Department to pay such tax, such retailer,
without filing any formal claim with the Department, shall be allowed to
take credit against such use tax liability to the extent, if any, to which
such retailer has paid an amount equivalent to retailers' occupation tax or
has paid use tax in error to his or her vendor or vendors of the same tangible
personal property which such retailer bought for resale and did not first
use before selling it, and no penalty or interest shall be charged to such
retailer on the amount of such credit. However, when such credit is allowed
to the retailer by the Department, the vendor is precluded from refunding
any of that tax to the retailer and filing a claim for credit or refund
with respect thereto with the Department. The provisions of this amendatory
Act shall be applied retroactively, regardless of the date of the transaction.

Sec. 20. 
As soon as practicable after a claim for credit or refund is filed, the
Department shall examine the same and determine the amount of credit or
refund to which the claimant or the claimant's legal representative, in the
event that the claimant shall have died or become a person under legal
disability, is entitled
and shall, by its Notice of Tentative Determination of Claim, notify the
claimant or his or her legal representative of such determination, which
determination shall be prima facie correct. Proof of such determination by
the Department may be made at any hearing before the Department or in any
legal proceeding by a reproduced copy of the Department's record relating
thereto, in the name of the Department under the certificate of the
Director of Revenue. Such reproduced copy shall, without further proof, be
admitted into evidence before the Department or in any legal proceeding and
shall be prima facie proof of the correctness of the Department's
determination, as shown therein. If such claimant, or the legal
representative of a deceased claimant or a claimant
who is a person under legal disability shall, within 60 days
after the Department's Notice of Tentative Determination of Claim, file a
protest thereto and request a hearing thereon, the Department shall give
notice to such claimant, or the legal representative of a deceased claimant,
or a claimant who is a person under legal disability
of the time and place fixed for such hearing, and
shall hold a hearing in conformity with the provisions of this Act.  On and after July 1, 2013, protests concerning matters that are subject to the jurisdiction of the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal shall be filed with the Tax Tribunal in accordance with the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal Act of 2012, and hearings concerning those matters shall be held before the Tribunal in accordance with that Act.  With respect to protests filed with the Department prior to July 1, 2013 that would otherwise be subject to the jurisdiction of the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal, the taxpayer may elect to be subject to the provisions of the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal Act of 2012 at any time on or after July 1, 2013, but not later than 30 days after the date on which the protest was filed.  If made, the election shall be irrevocable.  The Department shall issue its Final Determination of the amount, if any,
found to be due as a result of a hearing before the Department or the Tribunal, to such claimant, or the legal
representative of a deceased claimant or a claimant
who is a person under legal disability.
If a protest to the Department's Notice of Tentative Determination of
Claim is not filed within 60 days and a request for a hearing
thereon is
not made as provided herein, the said Notice shall thereupon become and
operate as a Final Determination; and, if the Department's Notice of
Tentative Determination, upon becoming a Final Determination, indicates no
amount due to the claimant, or, upon issuance of a credit or refund for the
amount, if any, found by the Department to be due, the claim in all its
aspects shall be closed and no longer open to protest, hearing, judicial
review, or by any other proceeding or action whatever, either before the
Department or in any court of this State. Claims for credit or refund
hereunder must be filed with and initially determined by the Department,
the remedy herein provided being exclusive; and no court shall have
jurisdiction to determine the merits of any claim except upon review as
provided in this Act.

under this Act) more than 3 years prior to such July 1 shall be credited or
refunded.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, for any period included in a claim for credit or refund for which the statute of limitations for issuing a notice of tax liability under this Act will expire less than 6 months after the date a taxpayer files the claim for credit or refund, the statute of limitations is automatically extended for 6 months from the date it would have otherwise expired. No claim shall be allowed for any amount paid to the Department,
whether paid voluntarily or involuntarily, if paid in total or partial
liquidation of an assessment which had become final before the claim for
credit or refund to recover the amount so paid is filed with the
Department, or if paid in total or partial liquidation of a judgment or order of court.

Sec. 22. 
		
		If it is determined that the Department should issue a credit or refund
under this Act, the Department may first apply the amount thereof against
any amount of tax or penalty or interest due hereunder, or under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, the Service Use Tax Act,
any local occupation or use tax administered by the Department,
Section 4 of the Water Commission Act of
1985, subsections (b), (c) and (d) of Section 5.01 of the Local Mass
Transit District Act, or subsections (e), (f) and (g) of Section 4.03 of
the Regional Transportation Authority Act,
from the person entitled to such credit or refund.
For this purpose, if proceedings are pending to determine whether or not
any tax or penalty or interest is due under this Act or under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, the Service Use Tax Act,
any local occupation or use tax administered by the Department,
Section 4 of the Water Commission Act of
1985, subsections (b), (c) and (d) of Section 5.01 of the Local Mass
Transit District Act, or subsections (e), (f) and (g) of Section 4.03 of
the Regional Transportation Authority Act,
from such person, the Department may withhold
issuance of the credit or refund pending the final disposition of such
proceedings and may apply such credit or refund against any amount found to
be due to the Department as a result of such proceedings. The balance, if
any, of the credit or refund shall be issued to the person entitled
thereto.
Any credit memorandum issued hereunder may be used by the authorized
holder thereof to pay any tax or penalty or interest due or to become due
under this Act or under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act,
any local occupation or use tax administered by the Department,
Section 4 of the Water Commission Act of
1985, subsections (b), (c) and (d) of Section 5.01 of the Local Mass
Transit District Act, or subsections (e), (f) and (g) of Section 4.03 of
the Regional Transportation Authority Act,
from such holder. Subject
to reasonable rules of the Department, a credit memorandum issued hereunder
may be assigned by the holder thereof to any other person for use in paying
tax or penalty or interest which may be due or become due under this Act or
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation
Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, from the assignee.
In any case in which there has been an erroneous refund of tax
payable under this Act, a notice of tax liability may be issued at any time
within 3 years from the making of that refund, or within 5 years from the
making of that refund if it appears that any part of the refund was induced
by fraud or the misrepresentation of a material fact. The amount of any
proposed assessment set forth in the notice shall be limited to the amount
of the erroneous refund.
