19 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
20 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
21 who would be a member of the same unitary business
22 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited

24 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily

18 with respect to such interest; or
19 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
20 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
21 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
22 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
23 following:
24 (a) the person, during the same taxable
25 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
26 to a person that is not a related member, and

HB4951 Enrolled- 15 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
2 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
3 person did not have as a principal purpose the
4 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
5 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
6 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
7 terms; or
8 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
9 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
10 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
11 or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
12 and terms and the principal purpose for the
13 payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
14 or
15 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
16 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
17 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
18 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
19 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
20 to the application or use of an alternative method
21 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
22 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
23 Director from making any other adjustment
24 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
25 for any tax year beginning after the effective
26 date of this amendment provided such adjustment is

HB4951 Enrolled- 16 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
2 Department and such regulations provide methods
3 and standards by which the Department will utilize
4 its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
5 (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
6 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
7 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
8 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
9 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
10 foreign person who would be a member of the same
11 unitary business group but for the fact that the
12 foreign person's business activity outside the United
13 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
14 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
15 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
16 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
17 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
18 from being included in the unitary business group
19 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
20 business income under different subsections of Section
21 304. The addition modification required by this
22 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
23 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
24 group for the same taxable year and received by the
25 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
26 business group (including amounts included in gross

HB4951 Enrolled- 17 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
2 Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income
3 under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with
4 respect to the stock of the same person to whom the
5 intangible expenses and costs were directly or
6 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
7 sentence does not apply to the extent that the same
8 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
9 modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of
10 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
11 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
12 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or

14 ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
15 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
16 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
17 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
18 copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
19 similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
20 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
21 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
22 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and

26 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

HB4951 Enrolled- 18 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
2 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
3 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
4 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
5 with respect to such item; or
6 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
7 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
8 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
9 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
10 following:
11 (a) the person during the same taxable
12 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
13 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
14 not a related member, and
15 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
16 intangible expense or cost between the
17 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
18 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
19 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
20 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
21 or
22 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
23 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
25 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
26 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;

HB4951 Enrolled- 19 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
2 writing to the application or use of an
3 alternative method of apportionment under Section
4 304(f);
5 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6 Director from making any other adjustment
7 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
8 for any tax year beginning after the effective
9 date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
10 made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
11 Department and such regulations provide methods
12 and standards by which the Department will utilize
13 its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
14 (D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
15 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
16 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
17 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
18 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
19 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
20 business group but for the fact that the person is
21 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
22 included in the unitary business group because he or
23 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
24 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
25 addition modification required by this subparagraph
26 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were

HB4951 Enrolled- 20 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 included in base income of the unitary group for the
2 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
3 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
4 (including amounts included in gross income under
5 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
6 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
7 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the
8 stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
9 were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or
10 accrued. The preceding sentence does not apply to the
11 extent that the same dividends caused a reduction to
12 the addition modification required under Section
13 203(a)(2)(D-17) or Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this
14 Act;
15 (D-20) For taxable years beginning on or after

19 Revenue Code, other than (i) a distribution from a
20 College Savings Pool created under Section 16.5 of the
21 State Treasurer Act or (ii) a distribution from the
22 Illinois Prepaid Tuition Trust Fund, an amount equal
23 to the amount excluded from gross income under Section
24 529(c)(3)(B). For taxable years beginning on or after
25 January 1, 2007, in the case of a distribution from a
26 qualified tuition program under Section 529 of the

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

1 payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
2 or
3 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

9 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
10 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the

24 foreign person who would be a member of the same
25 unitary business group but for the fact that the
26 foreign person's business activity outside the United

1 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
2 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after

5 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
6 from being included in the unitary business group
7 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
8 business income under different subsections of Section
9 304. The addition modification required by this

17 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
18 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
19 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or

21 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same

14 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
15 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
16 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
17 than a state which requires mandatory unitary

9 or
10 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
11 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
12 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
13 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
14 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;

9 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
10 included in the unitary business group because he or
11 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
12 income under different subsections of Section 304. The

14 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after

18 from being included in the unitary business group
19 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
20 business income under different subsections of Section

22 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that

17 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
18 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
19 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
20 business group but for the fact that the person is
21 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
22 included in the unitary business group because he or
23 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
24 income under different subsections of Section 304. The

8 stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
9 were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or

6 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
7 extent that dividends were included in base income of
8 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
9 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
10 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts

1 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
2 following:
3 (a) the person, during the same taxable
4 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
5 to a person that is not a related member, and
6 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
7 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
8 person did not have as a principal purpose the
9 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
10 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
11 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
12 terms; or
13 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
14 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
15 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
16 or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
17 and terms and the principal purpose for the
18 payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
19 or

26 of apportionment under Section 304(f).

HB4951 Enrolled- 94 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
2 Director from making any other adjustment
3 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
4 for any tax year beginning after the effective
5 date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
6 made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
7 Department and such regulations provide methods
8 and standards by which the Department will utilize
9 its authority under Section 404 of this Act; and
10 (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
11 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
12 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
13 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
14 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
15 foreign person who would be a member of the same
16 unitary business group but for the fact that the
17 foreign person's business activity outside the United
18 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
19 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
20 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
21 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
22 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
23 from being included in the unitary business group
24 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
25 business income under different subsections of Section
26 304. The addition modification required by this

HB4951 Enrolled- 95 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
2 dividends were included in base income of the unitary

7 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
8 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
9 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
10 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
11 indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
12 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
13 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
14 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
15 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
16 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
17 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or

21 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
22 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and

HB4951 Enrolled- 96 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

3 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
4 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
5 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
6 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
7 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
8 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
9 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
10 with respect to such item; or
11 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
12 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

4 and Section 803(e), a taxpayer's gross income, adjusted
5 gross income, or taxable income for the taxable year shall
6 mean the amount of gross income, adjusted gross income or
7 taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax
8 purposes for the taxable year under the provisions of the

11 December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from
12 taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not
13 exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
14 year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess
15 of addition modifications over subtraction modifications
16 for the taxable year. For taxable years ending prior to

4 applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
5 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
6 (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the
7 Internal Revenue Code.
8 (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of
9 this subsection, the taxable income properly reportable
10 for federal income tax purposes shall mean:
11 (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
12 of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
13 by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
14 insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
15 distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
16 accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the

23 a regulated investment company subject to the tax
24 imposed by Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code,

1 a real estate investment trust subject to the tax
2 imposed by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code,
3 real estate investment trust taxable income;
4 (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
5 corporation which is a member of an affiliated group
6 of corporations filing a consolidated income tax
7 return for the taxable year for federal income tax
8 purposes, taxable income determined as if such
9 corporation had filed a separate return for federal
10 income tax purposes for the taxable year and each
11 preceding taxable year for which it was a member of an
12 affiliated group. For purposes of this subparagraph,
13 the taxpayer's separate taxable income shall be
14 determined as if the election provided by Section
15 243(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code had been in
16 effect for all such years;
17 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
18 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
19 organization determined in accordance with the
20 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the
21 Internal Revenue Code, but without regard to the
22 prohibition against offsetting losses from patronage
23 activities against income from nonpatronage
24 activities; except that a cooperative corporation or
25 association may make an election to follow its federal
26 income tax treatment of patronage losses and

HB4951 Enrolled- 111 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 nonpatronage losses. In the event such election is
2 made, such losses shall be computed and carried over
3 in a manner consistent with subsection (a) of Section
4 207 of this Act and apportioned by the apportionment
5 factor reported by the cooperative on its Illinois
6 income tax return filed for the taxable year in which
7 the losses are incurred. The election shall be
8 effective for all taxable years with original returns
9 due on or after the date of the election. In addition,
10 the cooperative may file an amended return or returns,
11 as allowed under this Act, to provide that the
12 election shall be effective for losses incurred or
13 carried forward for taxable years occurring prior to
14 the date of the election. Once made, the election may
15 only be revoked upon approval of the Director. The
16 Department shall adopt rules setting forth
17 requirements for documenting the elections and any
18 resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
19 used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
20 elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
21 existing law;
22 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
23 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in
24 effect an election for the taxable year under Section
25 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income
26 of such corporation determined in accordance with

HB4951 Enrolled- 112 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 Section 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except
2 that taxable income shall take into account those
3 items which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
4 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and
5 (ii) a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in
6 effect a federal election to opt out of the provisions
7 of the Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have
8 applied instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules
9 as in effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of
10 such corporation determined in accordance with the
11 federal Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1,
12 1982; and
13 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
14 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
15 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
16 income shall take into account those items which are
17 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
18 but which would be taken into account by an individual
19 in calculating his taxable income.
20 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
21 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
22 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
23 business has been classified as business income and in a
24 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
25 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
26 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years

HB4951 Enrolled- 113 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 related to that asset or business that generated the
2 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
3 business income in the year of the disposition of the
4 asset or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to
5 Illinois using the greater of the apportionment fraction
6 computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act
7 for the taxable year or the average of the apportionment
8 fractions computed for the business under Section 304 of
9 this Act for the taxable year and for the 2 immediately
10 preceding taxable years.
11 (f) Valuation limitation amount.
12 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
13 referred to in subsections (a)(2)(G), (c)(2)(I) and
14 (d)(2)(E) is an amount equal to:
15 (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
16 amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
17 under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
18 Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
19 which such gain was reported for the taxable year;
20 plus
21 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
22 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
23 capital gain) for all property in respect of which
24 such gain was reported for federal income tax purposes
25 for the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for

HB4951 Enrolled- 114 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 the taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount
2 of such gain included in the amount determined under
3 subsection (a)(2)(F) or (c)(2)(H).
4 (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
5 (A) If the fair market value of property referred
6 to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on
7 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
8 amount for such property is the lesser of (i) the
9 excess of such fair market value over the taxpayer's
10 basis (for determining gain) for such property on that
11 date (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
12 effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
13 and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
14 respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
15 such property.
16 (B) If the fair market value of property referred
17 to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
18 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
19 amount for such property is that amount which bears
20 the same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of
21 the property for federal income tax purposes for the
22 taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
23 that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
24 property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
25 full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
26 period for the property.

1 (C) The Department shall prescribe such
2 regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
3 purposes of this paragraph.
4 (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
5otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
6to be deducted more than once.
7 (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
8this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on

3Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the levies
4authorized by Sections 21-110 and 21-110.1 of the Illinois
5Pension Code shall not be considered new rates; however,
6nothing in this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly
7authorizes a taxing district to increase its limiting rate or
8its aggregate extension without first obtaining referendum
9approval as provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any
10other provision of law, the levy authorized by Section 18-17
11is considered part of the annual corporate extension for the
12taxing district and is not considered a new rate.
13Notwithstanding the provisions, requirements, or limitations
14of any other law, any tax levied for the 2005 levy year and all
15subsequent levy years by any taxing district subject to this
16Law may be extended at a rate exceeding the rate established
17for that tax by referendum or statute, provided that the rate
18does not exceed the statutory ceiling above which the tax is
19not authorized to be further increased either by referendum or
20in any other manner. Notwithstanding the provisions,
21requirements, or limitations of any other law, all taxing
22districts subject to this Law shall follow the provisions of
23this Section whenever seeking referenda approval after March
2421, 2006 to (i) levy a new tax rate authorized by statute or

4levy a new tax rate as authorized in clause (i) shall be in
5substantially the following form:
6 Shall ... (insert legal name, number, if any, and
7 county or counties of taxing district and geographic or
8 other common name by which a school or community college
9 district is known and referred to), Illinois, be

11 additional tax of ...% of the equalized assessed value of
12 the taxable property therein extended for such purposes?
13The votes must be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
14 The proposition seeking to obtain referendum approval to
15increase the limiting rate as authorized in clause (ii) shall

25 year for which the limiting rate of the taxing district is
26 known at the time the submission of the proposition is

3 therein for levy year(s) (insert each levy year for which
4 the increase will be applicable, which years must be
5 consecutive and may not exceed 4)?
6 The votes must be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
7 The ballot for any proposition submitted pursuant to this
8Section shall have printed thereon, but not as a part of the
9proposition submitted, only the following supplemental
10information (which shall be supplied to the election authority
11by the taxing district) in substantially the following form:
12 (1) The approximate amount of taxes extendable at the

22 $....
23 (3) Based upon an average annual percentage increase
24 (or decrease) in the market value of such property of %...
25 (insert percentage equal to the average annual percentage
26 increase or decrease for the prior 3 levy years, at the

HB4951 Enrolled- 138 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 time the submission of the proposition is initiated by the
2 taxing district, in the amount of (A) the equalized
3 assessed value of the taxable property in the taxing
4 district less (B) the new property included in the
5 equalized assessed value), the approximate amount of the
6 additional tax extendable against such property for the
7 ... levy year is estimated to be $... and for the ... levy
8 year is estimated to be $ ....
9 (4) If the proposition is approved, the aggregate
10 extension for ... (insert each levy year for which the

12 rate set forth in the proposition, rather than the
13 otherwise applicable limiting rate calculated under the
14 provisions of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law
15 (commonly known as the Property Tax Cap Law).
16The approximate amount of taxes extendable shown in paragraph
17(1) shall be computed upon the last known equalized assessed
18value of taxable property in the taxing district (at the time
19the submission of the proposition is initiated by the taxing
20district). Paragraph (3) shall be included only if the
21increased limiting rate will be applicable for more than one
22levy year and shall list each levy year for which the increased
23limiting rate will be applicable. The additional tax shown for
24each levy year shall be the approximate dollar amount of the
25increase over the amount of the most recently completed
26extension at the time the submission of the proposition is

HB4951 Enrolled- 139 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1initiated by the taxing district. The approximate amount of
2the additional taxes extendable shown in paragraphs (2) and
3(3) shall be calculated by multiplying $100,000 (the fair
4market value of the property without regard to any property
5tax exemptions) by (i) the percentage level of assessment
6prescribed for that property by statute, or by ordinance of
7the county board in counties that classify property for
8purposes of taxation in accordance with Section 4 of Article
9IX of the Illinois Constitution; (ii) the most recent final
10equalization factor certified to the county clerk by the
11Department of Revenue at the time the taxing district
12initiates the submission of the proposition to the electors;
13and (iii) either the new rate or the amount by which the
14limiting rate is to be increased. This amendatory Act of the
1597th General Assembly is intended to clarify the existing
16requirements of this Section, and shall not be construed to
17validate any prior non-compliant referendum language.
18Paragraph (4) shall be included if the proposition concerns a
19limiting rate increase but shall not be included if the
20proposition concerns a new rate. Any notice required to be
21published in connection with the submission of the proposition
22shall also contain this supplemental information and shall not
23contain any other supplemental information regarding the
24proposition. Any error, miscalculation, or inaccuracy in
25computing any amount set forth on the ballot and in the notice
26that is not deliberate shall not invalidate or affect the

HB4951 Enrolled- 140 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1validity of any proposition approved. Notice of the referendum
2shall be published and posted as otherwise required by law,
3and the submission of the proposition shall be initiated as
4provided by law.
5 If a majority of all ballots cast on the proposition are in
6favor of the proposition, the following provisions shall be
7applicable to the extension of taxes for the taxing district:
8 (A) a new tax rate shall be first effective for the
9 levy year in which the new rate is approved;
10 (B) if the proposition provides for a new tax rate,
11 the taxing district is authorized to levy a tax after the
12 canvass of the results of the referendum by the election
13 authority for the purposes for which the tax is
14 authorized;
15 (C) a limiting rate increase shall be first effective
16 for the levy year in which the limiting rate increase is
17 approved, provided that the taxing district may elect to
18 have a limiting rate increase be effective for the levy
19 year prior to the levy year in which the limiting rate
20 increase is approved unless the extension of taxes for the
21 prior levy year occurs 30 days or less after the canvass of
22 the results of the referendum by the election authority in
23 any county in which the taxing district is located;
24 (D) in order for the limiting rate increase to be
25 first effective for the levy year prior to the levy year of
26 the referendum, the taxing district must certify its

HB4951 Enrolled- 141 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 election to have the limiting rate increase be effective
2 for the prior levy year to the clerk of each county in
3 which the taxing district is located not more than 2 days
4 after the date the results of the referendum are canvassed
5 by the election authority; and
6 (E) if the proposition provides for a limiting rate
7 increase, the increase may be effective regardless of
8 whether the proposition is approved before or after the
9 taxing district adopts or files its levy for any levy
10 year.
11 Rates required to extend taxes on levies subject to a
12backdoor referendum in each year there is a levy are not new
13rates or rate increases under this Section if a levy has been
14made for the fund in one or more of the preceding 3 levy years.
15Changes made by this amendatory Act of 1997 to this Section in
16reference to rates required to extend taxes on levies subject
17to a backdoor referendum in each year there is a levy are
18declarative of existing law and not a new enactment.
19 (b) Whenever other applicable law authorizes a taxing
20district subject to the limitation with respect to its
21aggregate extension provided for in this Law to issue bonds or
22other obligations either without referendum or subject to
23backdoor referendum, the taxing district may elect for each
24separate bond issuance to submit the question of the issuance
25of the bonds or obligations directly to the voters of the
26taxing district, and if the referendum passes the taxing

HB4951 Enrolled- 142 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1district is not required to comply with any backdoor
2referendum procedures or requirements set forth in the other
3applicable law. The direct referendum shall be initiated by
4ordinance or resolution of the governing body of the taxing
5district, and the question shall be certified to the proper
6election authorities in accordance with the provisions of the
7Election Code.

14taking organ donor leave must allow for the applicable medical
15records to be disclosed to the Department. If the private
16employer cannot provide the required documentation to the
17Department, then the private employer is ineligible for the
18credit under this Section. A private employer must also
19provide, in the form required by the Department, any
20additional documentation or information required by the
21Department to administer the credit under this Section. The
22credit under this subsection (j) shall be taken within one
23year after the date upon which the organ donation leave
24begins. If the leave taken spans into a second tax year, the
25employer qualifies for the allowable credit in the later of
26the 2 years. If the amount of credit exceeds the tax liability

HB4951 Enrolled- 165 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1for the year, the excess may be carried and applied to the tax
2liability for the 3 taxable years following the excess credit
3year. The tax credit shall be applied to the earliest year for
4which there is a tax liability. If there are credits for more
5than one year that are available to offset liability, the
6earlier credit shall be applied first.
7 Nothing in this subsection (j) prohibits a private
8employer from providing an unpaid leave of absence to its
9employees for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone
10marrow donor; however, if the employer's policy provides for
11fewer than 30 days of paid leave for organ or bone marrow
12donation, then the employer shall not be eligible for the
13credit under this Section.

5donation leave. To be eligible for the credit, such a leave of
6absence must be taken without loss of pay, vacation time,
7compensatory time, personal days, or sick time for at least
8the first 30 days of the leave of absence. The private employer
9shall adopt rules governing organ donation leave, including
10rules that (i) establish conditions and procedures for
11requesting and approving leave and (ii) require medical
12documentation of the proposed organ or bone marrow donation
13before leave is approved by the private employer. A private
14employer must provide, in the manner required by the
15Department, documentation from the employee's medical
16provider, which the private employer receives from the
17employee, that verifies the employee's organ donation. The
18private employer must also provide, in the manner required by
19the Department, documentation that shows that a qualifying
20organ donor leave policy was in place and offered to all
21qualifying employees at the time the leave was taken. For the
22private employer to receive the tax credit, the employee
23taking organ donor leave must allow for the applicable medical
24records to be disclosed to the Department. If the private
25employer cannot provide the required documentation to the
26Department, then the private employer is ineligible for the

HB4951 Enrolled- 189 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1credit under this Section. A private employer must also
2provide, in the form required by the Department, any
3additional documentation or information required by the
4Department to administer the credit under this Section. The
5credit under this subsection (j) shall be taken within one
6year after the date upon which the organ donation leave
7begins. If the leave taken spans into a second tax year, the
8employer qualifies for the allowable credit in the later of
9the 2 years. If the amount of credit exceeds the tax liability
10for the year, the excess may be carried and applied to the tax
11liability for the 3 taxable years following the excess credit
12year. The tax credit shall be applied to the earliest year for
13which there is a tax liability. If there are credits for more
14than one year that are available to offset liability, the
15earlier credit shall be applied first.
16 Nothing in this subsection (j) prohibits a private
17employer from providing an unpaid leave of absence to its
18employees for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone
19marrow donor; however, if the employer's policy provides for
20fewer than 30 days of paid leave for organ or bone marrow
21donation, then the employer shall not be eligible for the
22credit under this Section.
23 As used in this subsection (j):
24 "Organ" means any biological tissue of the human body that
25may be donated by a living donor, including, but not limited
26to, the kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, intestine, bone, skin,

10Section 250 of this Act.
11 (k) For reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
122025 and before January 1, 2027, an employer may claim a credit
13against payments due under this Section for amounts withheld
14during the first reporting period to occur after the date on
15which a tax credit certificate is issued for a non-profit
16theater production under Section 10 of the Live Theater
17Production Tax Credit Act. The credit shall be equal to the
18amount shown on the certificate, but may not reduce the
19taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under this Article
20to less than zero. If the amount of the credit exceeds the
21total amount due under this Article with respect to amounts
22withheld during the first reporting period to occur after the
23date on which a tax credit certificate is issued, the excess
24may be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
25liability under this Section for reporting periods that occur
26in the 5 succeeding calendar years. The excess credit shall be

HB4951 Enrolled- 191 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1applied to the earliest reporting period for which there is a
2payment due under this Article. If there are credits from more
3than one reporting period that are available to offset a
4liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first. The
5Department of Revenue, in cooperation with the Department of
6Commerce and Economic Opportunity, shall adopt rules to
7enforce and administer the provisions of this subsection.

14Music and Musicians Tax Credit and Jobs Act. References in
15this Article to "this Act" mean this Article.
16 Section 50-5. Purpose. The State's economy depends heavily
17on music, professional musicians, music teachers, and
18educators. Illinois is a cultural crown jewel of the United
19States. Illinois and Chicago boast a robust history and
20community of creative artists, writers, musicians, architects,
21orchestras, live music and entertainment venues, civic operas,
22recording studios, and universities. The COVID-19 pandemic and
23the economic fallout that ensued brought on especially

HB4951 Enrolled- 192 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1difficult circumstances for the live entertainment industry at
2large. Throughout the State, this has meant the closure of and
3overall decrease in culturally engaging aspects of Illinois
4cities from Cairo to Chicago.
5 According to the Americans for the Arts Action Fund, arts
6and culture represent 3.1% of the State's gross domestic
7product and 190,078 jobs. In fact, in 2020, Illinois arts and
8culture was larger than the State's agriculture industry. In
92015, nonprofit arts organizations in the State generated
10$4,000,000,000 in economic activity that supported 111,068
11jobs and generated $478,500,000 in State and local government
12revenue. In Chicago specifically, nonprofit arts groups
13generated $3,200,000,000 in total economic activity and
14$336,500,000 in State and local government revenue. Audiences
15exceeded 36,000,000 people.
16 Yet, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the arts suffered. As a
17result, Illinois arts and culture value added decreased by 9%
18between 2019 and 2020 and employment decreased by 12%.
19Ultimately, $3,200,000,000 and 26,644 jobs were lost. Even as
20live performances have resumed, audience sizes remain below
21pre-pandemic levels. Regional theaters, local orchestras,
22opera houses, and performing arts organizations are reporting
23persistent drops in attendance.
24 It is the policy of this State to promote and encourage the
25training and hiring of Illinois residents who represent the
26diversity of the Illinois population through the creation and

10taken was not actually due to the operator, the operator's
11discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
12between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
13actually due, and that operator shall be liable for penalties
14and interest on such difference.

8 Sec. 1.05. Legislative intent; leases. It is the intent of
9the General Assembly in enacting this amendatory Act of the
10103rd General Assembly to apply the tax imposed under this

4except that it does not include the sale of such property in
5any form as tangible personal property in the regular course
6of business to the extent that such property is not first
7subjected to a use for which it was purchased, and does not
8include the use of such property by its owner for

14interim use of tangible personal property by a retailer before

161, 2025, the lease of tangible personal property to a lessee by
17a retailer who is subject to tax on lease receipts under this
18amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly does not qualify
19as demonstration use or interim use of that property. For
20watercraft or aircraft, if the period of demonstration use or
21interim use by the retailer exceeds 18 months, the retailer
22shall pay on the retailers' original cost price the tax
23imposed by this Act, and no credit for that tax is permitted if
24the watercraft or aircraft is subsequently sold by the
25retailer. "Use" does not mean the physical incorporation of
26tangible personal property, to the extent not first subjected

HB4951 Enrolled- 289 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1to a use for which it was purchased, as an ingredient or
2constituent, into other tangible personal property (a) which
3is sold in the regular course of business or (b) which the
4person incorporating such ingredient or constituent therein
5has undertaken at the time of such purchase to cause to be
6transported in interstate commerce to destinations outside the
7State of Illinois: Provided that the property purchased is
8deemed to be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite
9first being used, to the extent to which it is resold as an
10ingredient of an intentionally produced product or by-product
11of manufacturing.
12 "Lease" means a transfer of the possession or control of,
13the right to possess or control, or a license to use, but not
14title to, tangible personal property for a fixed or
15indeterminate term for consideration, regardless of the name
16by which the transaction is called. "Lease" does not include a
17lease entered into merely as a security agreement that does
18not involve a transfer of possession or control from the
19lessor to the lessee.
20 On and after January 1, 2025, the term "sale", when used in

4 "Purchaser" means anyone who, through a sale at retail,
5acquires the ownership of, the title to, the possession or
6control of, the right to possess or control, or a license to
7use, tangible personal property for a valuable consideration.
8 "Sale at retail" means any transfer of the ownership of or
9title to tangible personal property to a purchaser, for the
10purpose of use, and not for the purpose of resale in any form
11as tangible personal property to the extent not first
12subjected to a use for which it was purchased, for a valuable
13consideration: Provided that the property purchased is deemed
14to be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite first being
15used, to the extent to which it is resold as an ingredient of
16an intentionally produced product or by-product of
17manufacturing. For this purpose, slag produced as an incident
18to manufacturing pig iron or steel and sold is considered to be
19an intentionally produced by-product of manufacturing. "Sale
20at retail" includes any such transfer made for resale unless
21made in compliance with Section 2c of the Retailers'
22Occupation Tax Act, as incorporated by reference into Section
2312 of this Act. Transactions whereby the possession of the
24property is transferred but the seller retains the title as
25security for payment of the selling price are sales.

15other containers, utensils, straws, placemats, napkins, doggie
16bags, and wrapping or packaging materials that are transferred
17to customers as part of the sale of food or beverages in the
18ordinary course of business.
19 The purchase, employment and transfer of such tangible
20personal property as newsprint and ink for the primary purpose
21of conveying news (with or without other information) is not a
22purchase, use or sale of tangible personal property.
23 "Selling price" means the consideration for a sale valued
24in money whether received in money or otherwise, including
25cash, credits, property other than as hereinafter provided,
26and services, but, prior to January 1, 2020 and beginning

6credit given for traded-in motor vehicles of the First
7Division as defined in Section 1-146 of the Illinois Vehicle

10without any deduction on account of the cost of the property
11sold, the cost of materials used, labor or service cost or any
12other expense whatsoever, but does not include interest or
13finance charges which appear as separate items on the bill of
14sale or sales contract nor charges that are added to prices by
15sellers on account of the seller's tax liability under the
16Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, or on account of the seller's
17duty to collect, from the purchaser, the tax that is imposed by
18this Act, or, except as otherwise provided with respect to any
19cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit, on account of the
20seller's tax liability under any local occupation tax
21administered by the Department, or, except as otherwise
22provided with respect to any cigarette tax imposed by a home
23rule unit on account of the seller's duty to collect, from the
24purchasers, the tax that is imposed under any local use tax
25administered by the Department. Effective December 1, 1985,
26"selling price" shall include charges that are added to prices

HB4951 Enrolled- 293 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1by sellers on account of the seller's tax liability under the
2Cigarette Tax Act, on account of the seller's duty to collect,
3from the purchaser, the tax imposed under the Cigarette Use
4Tax Act, and on account of the seller's duty to collect, from

6 The provisions of this paragraph, which provides only for
7an alternative meaning of "selling price" with respect to the
8sale of certain motor vehicles incident to the contemporaneous
9lease of those motor vehicles, continue in effect and are not
10changed by the tax on leases implemented by this amendatory
11Act of the 103rd General Assembly. Notwithstanding any law to
12the contrary, for any motor vehicle, as defined in Section
131-146 of the Vehicle Code, that is sold on or after January 1,
142015 for the purpose of leasing the vehicle for a defined
15period that is longer than one year and (1) is a motor vehicle
16of the second division that: (A) is a self-contained motor
17vehicle designed or permanently converted to provide living
18quarters for recreational, camping, or travel use, with direct
19walk through access to the living quarters from the driver's
20seat; (B) is of the van configuration designed for the
21transportation of not less than 7 nor more than 16 passengers;
22or (C) has a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,000 pounds or
23less or (2) is a motor vehicle of the first division, "selling
24price" or "amount of sale" means the consideration received by
25the lessor pursuant to the lease contract, including amounts
26due at lease signing and all monthly or other regular payments

HB4951 Enrolled- 294 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1charged over the term of the lease. Also included in the
2selling price is any amount received by the lessor from the
3lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the
4time the lease is executed, including, but not limited to,
5excess mileage charges and charges for excess wear and tear.
6For sales that occur in Illinois, with respect to any amount
7received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
8that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed, the
9lessor who purchased the motor vehicle does not incur the tax
10imposed by the Use Tax Act on those amounts, and the retailer
11who makes the retail sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor is
12not required to collect the tax imposed by this Act or to pay
13the tax imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act on those
14amounts. However, the lessor who purchased the motor vehicle
15assumes the liability for reporting and paying the tax on
16those amounts directly to the Department in the same form
17(Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local retailers'
18occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the retailer would
19have reported and paid such tax if the retailer had accounted
20for the tax to the Department. For amounts received by the
21lessor from the lessee that are not calculated at the time the
22lease is executed, the lessor must file the return and pay the
23tax to the Department by the due date otherwise required by
24this Act for returns other than transaction returns. If the
25retailer is entitled under this Act to a discount for
26collecting and remitting the tax imposed under this Act to the

HB4951 Enrolled- 295 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Department with respect to the sale of the motor vehicle to the
2lessor, then the right to the discount provided in this Act
3shall be transferred to the lessor with respect to the tax paid
4by the lessor for any amount received by the lessor from the
5lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the
6time the lease is executed; provided that the discount is only
7allowed if the return is timely filed and for amounts timely
8paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or
9after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined
10period of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the
11value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal
12property owned by the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the
13value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal
14property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether the
15trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the
16lessor. In the case of a motor vehicle that is sold for the
17purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one
18year, the sale occurs at the time of the delivery of the
19vehicle, regardless of the due date of any lease payments. A
20lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the
21sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit
22against that liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the
23purchase of the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid
24with respect to any amount received by the lessor from the
25lessee for the leased vehicle that was not calculated at the
26time the lease was executed) if the selling price of the motor

HB4951 Enrolled- 296 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1vehicle at the time of purchase was calculated using the
2definition of "selling price" as defined in this paragraph.
3Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
4contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make all payments
5required under this paragraph to the Department by electronic
6means in the manner and form as required by the Department.
7This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor vehicles for
8which, at the time the lease is entered into, the term of the
9lease is not a defined period, including leases with a defined
10initial period with the option to continue the lease on a
11month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial defined
12period.
13 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
14construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
15vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
16agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
17agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
18which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
19retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
20occasional sale.
21 "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
22 "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
23association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
24private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
25executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed

1 "Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the
2business of making sales, including, on and after January 1,

5as otherwise provided in this Act.
6 A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
7(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
8property at retail is a retailer hereunder with respect to
9such sales (and not primarily in a service occupation)
10notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
11such tangible personal property on special order for the
12purchaser and in such a way as to render the property of value
13only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal property so
14produced on special order serves substantially the same
15function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
16property that are sold at retail.
17 A person whose activities are organized and conducted
18primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
19engages in selling tangible personal property at retail
20(whether to the public or merely to members and their guests)

23following the month during which such tax liability is
24incurred and shall make payments to the Department on or
25before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
26which such liability is incurred. On and after October 1,

HB4951 Enrolled- 353 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
12000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
2Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
3the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was
4$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar

7during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
8payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
9last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
10If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
11prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
12equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
13or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
14average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
15for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
16month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
17in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax

19prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
20equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
21month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
22calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
23which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
24January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
25shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
26liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability

HB4951 Enrolled- 354 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
2during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
3January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
4after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
5to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
625% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
7the preceding year. If the month during which such tax

11month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
12month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
13liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
14of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
15final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
16Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
17the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
18continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
19the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
20quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
21month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
22taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
23computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
24calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
25taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
26the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer

HB4951 Enrolled- 355 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
2reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
3threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
4Department for change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
5and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
6the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
7continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
8the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
9quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
10month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
11taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
12computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
13calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
14taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
15the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
16to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
17reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
18threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
19Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
20The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
21unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
22likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
23be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
241.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not
25occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1,
262023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's

HB4951 Enrolled- 356 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year"
2shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public
3Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred.
4Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this
5paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700
6on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
7premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
8food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft
9drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate
10consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments
11due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through
12June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
13calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as
14if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 had not
15occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
16the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
17taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
18difference between the minimum amount due and the amount of
19such quarter monthly payment actually and timely paid, except
20insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
21month to the Department in excess of the minimum payments
22previously due as provided in this Section. The Department
23shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the
24quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment
25dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly
26basis.

1 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
2the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
3Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
4Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
5the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
6no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
7memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
8in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
9taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
10similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
11Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
12in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
13prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
14payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
15after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
16unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
17the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
18liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
19Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
20the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
21accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
22the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
23all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
24taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
25be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
26credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be

HB4951 Enrolled- 358 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
2 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
3return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
4the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
5authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
6with the return for January, February, and March of a given
7year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
8April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
9such year; with the return for July, August and September of a
10given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
11return for October, November and December of a given year
12being due by January 20 of the following year.
13 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
14quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
15liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
16Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
17basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
18of the following year.
19 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
20substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
21monthly returns.
22 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
23the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
24case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
25which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
26such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the

HB4951 Enrolled- 359 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

2business.
3 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
4aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
5an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
6Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
7property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
8prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
9for each such item of tangible personal property which the
10retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
11retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
12transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
13trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
14trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer

16more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
17to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
18provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
19report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
20vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the

23a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
243-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
25watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.

6other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
7meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting

12month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
13other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
14under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
15manner and form as required by the Department.
16 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
17vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with

26such other information as the Department may reasonably

HB4951 Enrolled- 362 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1require.
2 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
3than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
4being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
5than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
6return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
7that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
8Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
9officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
10titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
11if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
12that this procedure will expedite the processing of
13applications for title or registration.
14 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
15shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
16satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
17the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
18Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
19(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
20that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
21may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
22whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
23that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
24support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois

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

1 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
2selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
3the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
4property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
5the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
6purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
7filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
8to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax
9so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax
10which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
11Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
12to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
13such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
14amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
15deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
16purchaser.
17 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
18include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
19covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
20personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
21but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
22from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
23remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
24return.
25 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
26Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint

HB4951 Enrolled- 365 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

2returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
3Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
4Acts on the one form.
5 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
6with the Department under separate registration under this
7Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
8single return covering all such registered businesses, but
9shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

11fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be
12required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation

14Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
15return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
16returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax

101-146 of the Vehicle Code, that is sold on or after January 1,

15quarters for recreational, camping, or travel use, with direct
16walk through access to the living quarters from the driver's
17seat; (B) is of the van configuration designed for the
18transportation of not less than 7 nor more than 16 passengers;
19or (C) has a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,000 pounds or
20less or (2) is a motor vehicle of the first division, "selling
21price" or "amount of sale" means the consideration received by
22the lessor pursuant to the lease contract, including amounts
23due at lease signing and all monthly or other regular payments
24charged over the term of the lease. Also included in the
25selling price is any amount received by the lessor from the
26lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the

HB4951 Enrolled- 498 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1time the lease is executed, including, but not limited to,
2excess mileage charges and charges for excess wear and tear.
3For sales that occur in Illinois, with respect to any amount
4received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
5that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed, the
6lessor who purchased the motor vehicle does not incur the tax
7imposed by the Use Tax Act on those amounts, and the retailer
8who makes the retail sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor is
9not required to collect the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or
10to pay the tax imposed by this Act on those amounts. However,
11the lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the
12liability for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts
13directly to the Department in the same form (Illinois
14Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local retailers' occupation
15taxes, if applicable) in which the retailer would have
16reported and paid such tax if the retailer had accounted for
17the tax to the Department. For amounts received by the lessor
18from the lessee that are not calculated at the time the lease
19is executed, the lessor must file the return and pay the tax to
20the Department by the due date otherwise required by this Act
21for returns other than transaction returns. If the retailer is
22entitled under this Act to a discount for collecting and
23remitting the tax imposed under this Act to the Department
24with respect to the sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor,
25then the right to the discount provided in this Act shall be
26transferred to the lessor with respect to the tax paid by the

HB4951 Enrolled- 499 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1lessor for any amount received by the lessor from the lessee
2for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the time the
3lease is executed; provided that the discount is only allowed
4if the return is timely filed and for amounts timely paid. The
5"selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or after
6January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined period
7of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the value of or
8credit given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by
9the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the value of or credit
10given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by the
11lessee, regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is
12assigned by the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor
13vehicle that is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined
14period of longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of
15the delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any
16lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation
17Tax liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease
18may not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax
19the lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for
20any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
21the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
22calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
23price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
24calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
25in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
26Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make

HB4951 Enrolled- 500 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
2by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
3Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
4vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
5term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
6with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
7lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
8defined period.
9 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
10construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
11vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
12agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
13agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
14which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
15retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
16occasional sale.
17 "Gross receipts" from the sales of tangible personal
18property at retail means the total selling price or the amount
19of such sales, as hereinbefore defined. In the case of charge
20and time sales, the amount thereof shall be included only as
21and when payments are received by the seller. In the case of
22leases, except as otherwise provided in this Act, the amount
23thereof shall be included only as and when gross receipts are
24received by the lessor. Receipts or other consideration
25derived by a seller from the sale, transfer or assignment of
26accounts receivable to a wholly owned subsidiary will not be

10property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
11being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
12such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
13bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
14business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
15within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is

19estate or a construction contract to engineer, install, and

8less than the cost of such property to the transferor; if no
9separate charge is made, the value of such property, for the
10purposes of this Act, is the cost to the transferor of such
11tangible personal property. Construction contracts for the

23of Illinois all moneys becoming due under this Act and under
24any other State tax law or municipal or county tax ordinance or
25resolution under which the certificate of registration that is
26issued to the applicant under this Act will permit the

HB4951 Enrolled- 558 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1applicant to engage in business without registering separately
2under such other law, ordinance or resolution. In making a

4security, the Department shall take into consideration whether

6liability company, or a corporate officer of the applicant is
7or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or member of a

5ordinance or resolution under which the certificate of
6registration that is issued to the applicant under this Act
7will permit the applicant to engage in business without

9resolution, but the amount of the security required by the
10Department shall not exceed three times the amount of the

12whichever amount is lower.
13 No certificate of registration under this Act shall be

26application to be the principal place of business from which

HB4951 Enrolled- 560 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

2property at retail in this State.
3 No certificate of registration issued prior to July 1,
42017 to a taxpayer who files returns required by this Act on a
5monthly basis or renewed prior to July 1, 2017 by a taxpayer
6who files returns required by this Act on a monthly basis shall
7be valid after the expiration of 5 years from the date of its
8issuance or last renewal. No certificate of registration
9issued on or after July 1, 2017 to a taxpayer who files returns
10required by this Act on a monthly basis or renewed on or after
11July 1, 2017 by a taxpayer who files returns required by this
12Act on a monthly basis shall be valid after the expiration of
13one year from the date of its issuance or last renewal. The
14expiration date of a sub-certificate of registration shall be
15that of the certificate of registration to which the
16sub-certificate relates. Prior to July 1, 2017, a certificate
17of registration shall automatically be renewed, subject to
18revocation as provided by this Act, for an additional 5 years
19from the date of its expiration unless otherwise notified by
20the Department as provided by this paragraph. On and after
21July 1, 2017, a certificate of registration shall
22automatically be renewed, subject to revocation as provided by
23this Act, for an additional one year from the date of its
24expiration unless otherwise notified by the Department as
25provided by this paragraph.
26 Where a taxpayer to whom a certificate of registration is

HB4951 Enrolled- 561 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1issued under this Act is in default to the State of Illinois
2for delinquent returns or for moneys due under this Act or any
3other State tax law or municipal or county ordinance
4administered or enforced by the Department, the Department
5shall, not less than 60 days before the expiration date of such
6certificate of registration, give notice to the taxpayer to
7whom the certificate was issued of the account period of the
8delinquent returns, the amount of tax, penalty and interest
9due and owing from the taxpayer, and that the certificate of
10registration shall not be automatically renewed upon its
11expiration date unless the taxpayer, on or before the date of
12expiration, has filed and paid the delinquent returns or paid
13the defaulted amount in full. A taxpayer to whom such a notice
14is issued shall be deemed an applicant for renewal. The
15Department shall promulgate regulations establishing
16procedures for taxpayers who file returns on a monthly basis
17but desire and qualify to change to a quarterly or yearly
18filing basis and will no longer be subject to renewal under
19this Section, and for taxpayers who file returns on a yearly or
20quarterly basis but who desire or are required to change to a
21monthly filing basis and will be subject to renewal under this
22Section.
23 The Department may in its discretion approve renewal by an
24applicant who is in default if, at the time of application for
25renewal, the applicant files all of the delinquent returns or
26pays to the Department such percentage of the defaulted amount

HB4951 Enrolled- 562 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1as may be determined by the Department and agrees in writing to
2waive all limitations upon the Department for collection of
3the remaining defaulted amount to the Department over a period
4not to exceed 5 years from the date of renewal of the
5certificate; however, no renewal application submitted by an
6applicant who is in default shall be approved if the
7immediately preceding renewal by the applicant was conditioned
8upon the installment payment agreement described in this
9Section. The payment agreement herein provided for shall be in
10addition to and not in lieu of the security that may be
11required by this Section of a taxpayer who is no longer
12considered a prior continuous compliance taxpayer. The
13execution of the payment agreement as provided in this Act
14shall not toll the accrual of interest at the statutory rate.
15 The Department may suspend a certificate of registration
16if the Department finds that the person to whom the
17certificate of registration has been issued knowingly sold
18contraband cigarettes.
19 A certificate of registration issued under this Act more
20than 5 years before January 1, 1990 (the effective date of
21Public Act 86-383) shall expire and be subject to the renewal
22provisions of this Section on the next anniversary of the date
23of issuance of such certificate which occurs more than 6
24months after January 1, 1990 (the effective date of Public Act
2586-383). A certificate of registration issued less than 5
26years before January 1, 1990 (the effective date of Public Act

HB4951 Enrolled- 563 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
186-383) shall expire and be subject to the renewal provisions
2of this Section on the 5th anniversary of the issuance of the
3certificate.
4 If the person so registered states that he operates other
5places of business from which he engages in the business of
6selling tangible personal property at retail in this State,
7the Department shall furnish him with a sub-certificate of
8registration for each such place of business, and the
9applicant shall display the appropriate sub-certificate of
10registration at each such place of business. All
11sub-certificates of registration shall bear the same
12registration number as that appearing upon the certificate of
13registration to which such sub-certificates relate.
14 If the applicant will sell tangible personal property at
15retail through vending machines, the Department shall furnish
16him with a sub-certificate of registration for each such
17vending machine, and the applicant shall display the
18appropriate sub-certificate of registration on each such
19vending machine by attaching the sub-certificate of
20registration to a conspicuous part of such vending machine. If
21a person who is registered to sell tangible personal property
22at retail through vending machines adds an additional vending
23machine or additional vending machines to the number of
24vending machines he or she uses in his or her business of
25selling tangible personal property at retail, he or she shall
26notify the Department, on a form prescribed by the Department,

HB4951 Enrolled- 564 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1to request an additional sub-certificate or additional
2sub-certificates of registration, as applicable. With each
3such request, the applicant shall report the number of
4sub-certificates of registration he or she is requesting as
5well as the total number of vending machines from which he or
6she makes retail sales.
7 Where the same person engages in 2 or more businesses of
8selling tangible personal property at retail in this State,
9which businesses are substantially different in character or
10engaged in under different trade names or engaged in under
11other substantially dissimilar circumstances (so that it is
12more practicable, from an accounting, auditing or bookkeeping
13standpoint, for such businesses to be separately registered),
14the Department may require or permit such person (subject to
15the same requirements concerning the furnishing of security as
16those that are provided for hereinbefore in this Section as to
17each application for a certificate of registration) to apply
18for and obtain a separate certificate of registration for each
19such business or for any of such businesses, under a single
20certificate of registration supplemented by related
21sub-certificates of registration.
22 Any person who is registered under the Retailers'
23Occupation Tax Act as of March 8, 1963, and who, during the
243-year period immediately prior to March 8, 1963, or during a
25continuous 3-year period part of which passed immediately
26before and the remainder of which passes immediately after

HB4951 Enrolled- 565 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1March 8, 1963, has been so registered continuously and who is
2determined by the Department not to have been either
3delinquent or deficient in the payment of tax liability during
4that period under this Act or under any other State tax law or
5municipal or county tax ordinance or resolution under which
6the certificate of registration that is issued to the
7registrant under this Act will permit the registrant to engage
8in business without registering separately under such other
9law, ordinance or resolution, shall be considered to be a
10Prior Continuous Compliance taxpayer. Also any taxpayer who
11has, as verified by the Department, faithfully and
12continuously complied with the condition of his bond or other
13security under the provisions of this Act for a period of 3
14consecutive years shall be considered to be a Prior Continuous
15Compliance taxpayer.
16 Every Prior Continuous Compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
17from all requirements under this Act concerning the furnishing
18of a bond or other security as a condition precedent to his
19being authorized to engage in the business of selling tangible
20personal property at retail in this State. This exemption
21shall continue for each such taxpayer until such time as he may
22be determined by the Department to be delinquent in the filing
23of any returns, or is determined by the Department (either
24through the Department's issuance of a final assessment which
25has become final under the Act, or by the taxpayer's filing of
26a return which admits tax that is not paid to be due) to be

HB4951 Enrolled- 566 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1delinquent or deficient in the paying of any tax under this Act
2or under any other State tax law or municipal or county tax
3ordinance or resolution under which the certificate of
4registration that is issued to the registrant under this Act
5will permit the registrant to engage in business without
6registering separately under such other law, ordinance or
7resolution, at which time that taxpayer shall become subject
8to all the financial responsibility requirements of this Act
9and, as a condition of being allowed to continue to engage in
10the business of selling tangible personal property at retail,
11may be required to post bond or other acceptable security with
12the Department covering liability which such taxpayer may
13thereafter incur. Any taxpayer who fails to pay an admitted or
14established liability under this Act may also be required to
15post bond or other acceptable security with this Department
16guaranteeing the payment of such admitted or established
17liability.
18 No certificate of registration shall be issued to any
19person who is in default to the State of Illinois for moneys
20due under this Act or under any other State tax law or
21municipal or county tax ordinance or resolution under which
22the certificate of registration that is issued to the
23applicant under this Act will permit the applicant to engage
24in business without registering separately under such other
25law, ordinance or resolution.
26 Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Department

HB4951 Enrolled- 567 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1under this Section may, within 20 days after notice of such
2decision, protest and request a hearing, whereupon the
3Department shall give notice to such person of the time and
4place fixed for such hearing and shall hold a hearing in
5conformity with the provisions of this Act and then issue its
6final administrative decision in the matter to such person. In
7the absence of such a protest within 20 days, the Department's
8decision shall become final without any further determination
9being made or notice given.
10 With respect to security other than bonds (upon which the
11Department may sue in the event of a forfeiture), if the
12taxpayer fails to pay, when due, any amount whose payment such
13security guarantees, the Department shall, after such
14liability is admitted by the taxpayer or established by the
15Department through the issuance of a final assessment that has
16become final under the law, convert the security which that
17taxpayer has furnished into money for the State, after first
18giving the taxpayer at least 10 days' written notice, by
19registered or certified mail, to pay the liability or forfeit
20such security to the Department. If the security consists of
21stocks or bonds or other securities which are listed on a
22public exchange, the Department shall sell such securities
23through such public exchange. If the security consists of an
24irrevocable bank letter of credit, the Department shall
25convert the security in the manner provided for in the Uniform
26Commercial Code. If the security consists of a bank

HB4951 Enrolled- 568 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1certificate of deposit, the Department shall convert the
2security into money by demanding and collecting the amount of
3such bank certificate of deposit from the bank which issued
4such certificate. If the security consists of a type of stocks
5or other securities which are not listed on a public exchange,
6the Department shall sell such security to the highest and
7best bidder after giving at least 10 days' notice of the date,
8time and place of the intended sale by publication in the
9"State Official Newspaper". If the Department realizes more
10than the amount of such liability from the security, plus the
11expenses incurred by the Department in converting the security
12into money, the Department shall pay such excess to the
13taxpayer who furnished such security, and the balance shall be
14paid into the State Treasury.
15 The Department shall discharge any surety and shall
16release and return any security deposited, assigned, pledged
17or otherwise provided to it by a taxpayer under this Section
18within 30 days after:
19 (1) such taxpayer becomes a Prior Continuous
20 Compliance taxpayer; or
21 (2) such taxpayer has ceased to collect receipts on
22 which he is required to remit tax to the Department, has
23 filed a final tax return, and has paid to the Department an
24 amount sufficient to discharge his remaining tax
25 liability, as determined by the Department, under this Act
26 and under every other State tax law or municipal or county

HB4951 Enrolled- 569 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate of
2 registration issued under this Act permits the registrant
3 to engage in business without registering separately under
4 such other law, ordinance or resolution. The Department
5 shall make a final determination of the taxpayer's
6 outstanding tax liability as expeditiously as possible
7 after his final tax return has been filed; if the
8 Department cannot make such final determination within 45
9 days after receiving the final tax return, within such
10 period it shall so notify the taxpayer, stating its
11 reasons therefor.

14 Sec. 2c. Resales of tangible personal property. If the
15purchaser is not registered with the Department as a taxpayer,
16but claims to be a reseller of the tangible personal property
17in such a way that such resales are not taxable under this Act
18or under some other tax law which the Department may
19administer, such purchaser (except in the case of an
20out-of-State purchaser who will always resell and deliver the
21property to his customers outside Illinois) shall apply to the
22Department for a resale number. Such applicant shall state
23facts which will show the Department why such applicant is not
24liable for tax under this Act or under some other tax law which
25the Department may administer on any of his resales and shall

HB4951 Enrolled- 570 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1furnish such additional information as the Department may
2reasonably require.
3 Upon approval of the application, the Department shall
4assign a resale number to the applicant and shall certify such
5number to him. The Department may cancel any such number which
6is obtained through misrepresentation, or which is used to
7make a purchase tax-free when the purchase in fact is not a
8purchase for resale, or which no longer applies because of the
9purchaser's having discontinued the making of tax exempt
10resales of the property.
11 The Department may restrict the use of the number to one
12year at a time or to some other definite period if the
13Department finds it impracticable or otherwise inadvisable to
14issue such numbers for indefinite periods.
15 Except as provided hereinabove in this Section, a sale
16shall be made tax-free on the ground of being a sale for resale
17if the purchaser has an active registration number or resale
18number from the Department and furnishes that number to the
19seller in connection with certifying to the seller that any
20sale to such purchaser is nontaxable because of being a sale
21for resale. On and after January 1, 2025, a sale to a lessor of
22tangible personal property who is subject to the tax on leases
23implemented by this amendatory Act of the 103rd General
24Assembly, for the purpose of leasing that property, shall be
25made tax-free on the ground of being a sale for resale,
26provided the other provisions of this paragraph are met.

HB4951 Enrolled- 571 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 Failure to present an active registration number or resale
2number and a certification to the seller that a sale is for
3resale creates a presumption that a sale is not for resale.
4This presumption may be rebutted by other evidence that all of
5the seller's sales are sale for resale, or that a particular
6sale is a sale for resale.

7 6. Gross receipts which were received by him during
8 the preceding calendar month or quarter and upon the basis
9 of which the tax is imposed, including gross receipts on
10 food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
11 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
12 food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis,
13 soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate
14 consumption) which were received during the preceding
15 calendar month or quarter and upon which tax would have
16 been due but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act
17 102-700;

19 Act;
20 8. The amount of tax due, including the amount of tax
21 that would have been due on food for human consumption
22 that is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold
23 (other than alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or

25 that has been prepared for immediate consumption) but for

8 On and after January 1, 2018, except for returns required
9to be filed prior to January 1, 2023 for motor vehicles,
10watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required to be
11registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
12retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,

14filed electronically. On and after January 1, 2023, with
15respect to retailers whose annual gross receipts average
16$20,000 or more, all returns required to be filed pursuant to
17this Act, including, but not limited to, returns for motor
18vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
19to be registered with an agency of this State, shall be filed
20electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do not
21have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing
22electronically may petition the Department to waive the
23electronic filing requirement.
24 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
25the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
26the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be

HB4951 Enrolled- 574 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
2 Each return shall be accompanied by the statement of
3prepaid tax issued pursuant to Section 2e for which credit is
4claimed.
5 Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1,

7certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax as
8provided in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the purchaser

11certification, accepted by a retailer prior to October 1, 2003
12and on and after September 1, 2004 as provided in Section 3-85
13of the Use Tax Act, may be used by that retailer to satisfy
14Retailers' Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in
15the certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject
16to tax from a qualifying purchase. A Manufacturer's Purchase
17Credit reported on any original or amended return filed under
18this Act after October 20, 2003 for reporting periods prior to
19September 1, 2004 shall be disallowed. Manufacturer's Purchase
20Credit reported on annual returns due on or after January 1,
212005 will be disallowed for periods prior to September 1,

23September 30, 2003 through August 31, 2004 to satisfy any tax
24liability imposed under this Act, including any audit
25liability.
26 Beginning on July 1, 2023 and through December 31, 2032, a

HB4951 Enrolled- 575 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

9Occupation Tax liability (but not in satisfaction of penalty
10or interest) in the amount claimed in the certification, not
11to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to tax from a sale of
12aviation fuel. In addition, for a sale of aviation fuel to

4Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
5Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
6the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
7selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
8traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
9for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
10extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
11the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
12deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
13price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
14such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
15purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory

18sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
19other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
20Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
21Department may reasonably require.
22 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
23or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
24name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
25price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
26traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer

HB4951 Enrolled- 585 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the

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

HB4951 Enrolled- 586 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
2the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
3Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
4receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
5satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
6purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
7officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
8personal property that is involved (if titling or registration
9is required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
10Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
11registration to such tangible personal property.
12 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
13Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
14retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
15evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
16is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
17paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
18Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
19mandate of this paragraph.
20 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
21wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
22of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
23the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has
24not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the
25fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
26being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit

HB4951 Enrolled- 587 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

4determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
5and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
6credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
7with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
8provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
9the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
10same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
11if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
12 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
13period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
14returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
15subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
16may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
17receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
18return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
19with respect to such receipts.
20 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
21behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
22vice-president, secretary, or treasurer or by the properly
23accredited agent of such corporation.
24 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
25return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
26be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent

2 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
3the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
4return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
5Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
6on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
7whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
8retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
9preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
10data to the Department on request. On and after January 1,
112021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling
12the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return
13under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the
14time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
15imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer
16using a certified service provider to file a return on its
17behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for
18Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount. When
19determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers
20shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the
211% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700.
22When determining the discount allowed under this Section,
23retailers shall include the amount of tax that would have been
24due at the 6.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales
25tax holiday items under Public Act 102-700. The discount under
26this Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid

1on aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use
2requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any
3prepayment made pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be
4included in the amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is
5computed. In the case of retailers who report and pay the tax
6on a transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
7Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
8remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
9return. The discount allowed under this Section is allowed
10only for returns that are filed in the manner required by this
11Act. The Department may disallow the discount for retailers
12whose certificate of registration is revoked at the time the
13return is filed, but only if the Department's decision to
14revoke the certificate of registration has become final.
15 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
16tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax

8during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
9payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
10last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
11If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
12prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
13equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
14or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
15average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
16for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
17month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
18in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
19liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and

3during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
4January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
5after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
6to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
725% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
8the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
9liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
10prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
11equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
12month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
13month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
14liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
15of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the

2taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
3the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
4to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
5reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
6threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
7Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.

9of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
10taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000
11or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
12continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to

1likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
2be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to

4to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
5alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult
6use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for
7immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly
8payments due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and
9through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for
10the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be

17liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year"
18shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public

20such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
21amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
22liable for penalties and interest on the difference between
23the minimum amount due as a payment and the amount of such
24quarter monthly payment actually and timely paid, except
25insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
26month to the Department in excess of the minimum payments

HB4951 Enrolled- 594 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

3quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment
4dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly
5basis.
6 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
72001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
8quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
9is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
10prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
11excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
12calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
13required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
14Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
15month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
16during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
17September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
18each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
19taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
20during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after

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

HB4951 Enrolled- 596 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
2taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
3preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
4shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
5taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
6Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
7requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
8Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
9taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
10preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
11highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
12than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
13liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
14quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
15than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
16at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
17liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
18insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
19month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
20 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
21taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
22Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, as
23shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
24requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
25memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
26credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by

HB4951 Enrolled- 597 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
2Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, or the Service Use Tax
3Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
4prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
5taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
6subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
7the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, or the Service
8Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
9regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
10subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
11taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's
122.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or
131.75% of the difference between the credit taken and that
14actually due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
15and interest on such difference.
16 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
17Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
18to the Department under this Act for the month for which the
19taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
20taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

1McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund, the Illinois Tax
2Increment Fund, and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
3as provided in this Section, the Department shall pay each
4month into the Road Fund the amount estimated to represent 80%
5of the net revenue realized from the taxes imposed on motor
6fuel and gasohol. As used in this paragraph "motor fuel" has
7the meaning given to that term in Section 1.1 of the Motor Fuel
8Tax Law, and "gasohol" has the meaning given to that term in
9Section 3-40 of the Use Tax Act.
10 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
11pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the State
12treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account and
13used only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as part of
14the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
15accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
16 The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
17taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
18Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
19less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
20information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
21Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
22of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last federal
23Federal income tax return. If the total receipts of the
24business as reported in the federal Federal income tax return
25do not agree with the gross receipts reported to the
26Department of Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall

HB4951 Enrolled- 613 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1attach to his annual return a schedule showing a
2reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the reasons for the
3difference. The retailer's annual return to the Department
4shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by the retailer
5during the year covered by such return, opening and closing
6inventories of such goods for such year, costs of goods used
7from stock or taken from stock and given away by the retailer
8during such year, payroll information of the retailer's
9business during such year and any additional reasonable
10information which the Department deems would be helpful in
11determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly, or annual
12returns filed by such retailer as provided for in this
13Section.
14 If the annual information return required by this Section
15is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable
16as follows:
17 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
18 liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from
19 such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
20 covered by the annual return for each month or fraction of
21 a month until such return is filed as required, the
22 penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner as
23 any other penalty provided for in this Act.
24 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
25 be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
26 Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.

HB4951 Enrolled- 614 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner, or highest
2ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
3accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
4willfully signs the annual return containing false or
5inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
6accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
7Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
8return may be liable for perjury.
9 The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an
10annual information return do not apply to a retailer who is not
11required to file an income tax return with the United States
12Government.
13 As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon
14certification of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller
15shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
16the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
17equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
18for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
19transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
20 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
21collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
22paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
23overpayment of liability.
24 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
25importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
26Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may

HB4951 Enrolled- 615 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
2Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to
3such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make
4written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
5 Any person who promotes, organizes, or provides retail
6selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers at
7the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
8local fairs, art shows, flea markets, and similar exhibitions
9or events, including any transient merchant as defined by
10Section 2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required to
11file a report with the Department providing the name of the
12merchant's business, the name of the person or persons engaged
13in merchant's business, the permanent address and Illinois
14Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the merchant,
15the dates and location of the event, and other reasonable
16information that the Department may require. The report must
17be filed not later than the 20th day of the month next
18following the month during which the event with retail sales
19was held. Any person who fails to file a report required by
20this Section commits a business offense and is subject to a
21fine not to exceed $250.
22 Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible
23personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
24of seller at the Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art shows,
25flea markets, and similar exhibitions or events, or any
26transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient

HB4951 Enrolled- 616 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
2the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
3payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
4impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
5significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
6exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
7that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
8who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
9business of selling tangible personal property at retail at
10the exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant
11risk of loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall
12notify concessionaires and other sellers affected by the
13imposition of this requirement. In the absence of notification
14by the Department, the concessionaires and other sellers shall
15file their returns as otherwise required in this Section.

24 Sec. 31. STAR bond occupation taxes.

HB4951 Enrolled- 617 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 (a) If the corporate authorities of a political
2subdivision have established a STAR bond district and have
3elected to impose a tax by ordinance pursuant to subsection
4(b) or (c) of this Section, each year after the date of the
5adoption of the ordinance and until all STAR bond project
6costs and all political subdivision obligations financing the
7STAR bond project costs, if any, have been paid in accordance
8with the STAR bond project plans, but in no event longer than
9the maximum maturity date of the last of the STAR bonds issued
10for projects in the STAR bond district, all amounts generated
11by the retailers' occupation tax and service occupation tax
12shall be collected and the tax shall be enforced by the
13Department of Revenue in the same manner as all retailers'
14occupation taxes and service occupation taxes imposed in the
15political subdivision imposing the tax. The corporate
16authorities of the political subdivision shall deposit the
17proceeds of the taxes imposed under subsections (b) and (c)
18into either (i) a special fund held by the corporate
19authorities of the political subdivision called the STAR Bonds
20Tax Allocation Fund for the purpose of paying STAR bond
21project costs and obligations incurred in the payment of those
22costs if such taxes are designated as pledged STAR revenues by
23resolution or ordinance of the political subdivision or (ii)
24the political subdivision's general corporate fund if such
25taxes are not designated as pledged STAR revenues by
26resolution or ordinance.

HB4951 Enrolled- 618 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 The tax imposed under this Section by a municipality may
2be imposed only on the portion of a STAR bond district that is
3within the boundaries of the municipality. For any part of a
4STAR bond district that lies outside of the boundaries of that
5municipality, the municipality in which the other part of the
6STAR bond district lies (or the county, in cases where a
7portion of the STAR bond district lies in the unincorporated
8area of a county) is authorized to impose the tax under this
9Section on that part of the STAR bond district.
10 (b) The corporate authorities of a political subdivision
11that has established a STAR bond district under this Act may,
12by ordinance or resolution, impose a STAR Bond Retailers'
13Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in the business of
14selling tangible personal property, other than an item of
15tangible personal property titled or registered with an agency
16of this State's government, at retail in the STAR bond
17district at a rate not to exceed 1% of the gross receipts from
18the sales made in the course of that business, to be imposed
19only in 0.25% increments. The tax may not be imposed on
20tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
21Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under
22this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
23December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020, this tax is not
24imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
25expended for airport-related purposes. If the District does
26not have an airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel tax

HB4951 Enrolled- 619 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1revenue is dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from the
2tax. The municipality must comply with the certification
3requirements for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22
4of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this
5Act, "airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in
6Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. Beginning January 1,
72021, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel for so
8long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and
949 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the District.
10 The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
11penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
12collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
13certificate of registration that is issued by the Department
14to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall
15permit the retailer to engage in a business that is taxable
16under any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this
17subsection without registering separately with the Department
18under such ordinance or resolution or under this subsection.
19The Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer
20and enforce this subsection, to collect all taxes and
21penalties due under this subsection in the manner hereinafter
22provided, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
23arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
24under this subsection. In the administration of, and
25compliance with, this subsection, the Department and persons
26who are subject to this subsection shall have the same rights,

HB4951 Enrolled- 620 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, and be
2subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
3penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and definitions of terms
4and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
5Sections 1, 1a through 1o, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all
6provisions therein other than the State rate of tax), 2c
7through 2h, 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
8penalties collected, and except that the retailer's discount
9is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject
10to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
11U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5i, 5j, 5k,
125l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the
13Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and all provisions of the
14Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those
15provisions were set forth herein.
16 If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall
17also be imposed under subsection (c) of this Section.
18 (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a STAR
19Bond Service Occupation Tax shall also be imposed upon all
20persons engaged, in the STAR bond district, in the business of
21making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
22sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
23the STAR bond district, either in the form of tangible
24personal property or in the form of real estate as an incident
25to a sale of service. The tax shall be imposed at the same rate
26as the tax imposed in subsection (b) and shall not exceed 1% of

HB4951 Enrolled- 621 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1the selling price of tangible personal property so transferred
2within the STAR bond district, to be imposed only in 0.25%
3increments. The tax may not be imposed on tangible personal
4property taxed at the 1% rate under the Service Occupation Tax
5Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under this amendatory Act of the
6102nd General Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019 and
7through December 31, 2020, this tax is not imposed on sales of
8aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for
9airport-related purposes. If the District does not have an
10airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel tax revenue is
11dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The
12municipality must comply with the certification requirements
13for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the
14Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Act,
15"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
166z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. Beginning January 1, 2021,
17this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel for so long
18as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
19U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the District.
20 The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
21penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
22collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
23certificate of registration that is issued by the Department
24to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or under
25the Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit the registrant to
26engage in a business that is taxable under any ordinance or

HB4951 Enrolled- 622 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1resolution enacted pursuant to this subsection without
2registering separately with the Department under that
3ordinance or resolution or under this subsection. The
4Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer and
5enforce this subsection, to collect all taxes and penalties
6due under this subsection, to dispose of taxes and penalties
7so collected in the manner hereinafter provided, and to
8determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of
9the erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this subsection.
10In the administration of, and compliance with this subsection,
11the Department and persons who are subject to this subsection
12shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
13powers, and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
14restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions,
15and definitions of terms and employ the same modes of
16procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2, 2a through 2d, 3

18the State rate of tax), 4 (except that the reference to the
19State shall be to the STAR bond district), 5, 7, 8 (except that
20the jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to the extent
21indicated in that Section 8 shall be the political

23penalties collected, and except that the returned merchandise
24credit for this tax may not be taken against any State tax, and
25except that the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes
26paid on aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use

3Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference
4to the State shall mean the political subdivision), the first
5paragraph of Section 15, and Sections 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of
6the Service Occupation Tax Act and all provisions of the
7Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those
8provisions were set forth herein.
9 If a tax is imposed under this subsection (c), a tax shall
10also be imposed under subsection (b) of this Section.
11 (c-5) If, on January 1, 2025, a unit of local government
12has in effect a tax under this Section, or if, after January 1,
132025, a unit of local government imposes a tax under this
14Section, then that tax applies to leases of tangible personal
15property in effect, entered into, or renewed on or after that
16date in the same manner as the tax under this Section and in
17accordance with the changes made by this amendatory Act of the
18103rd General Assembly.
19 (d) Persons subject to any tax imposed under this Section
20may reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability
21under this Section by separately stating the tax as an
22additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
23in a single amount, with State taxes that sellers are required
24to collect under the Use Tax Act, in accordance with such
25bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
26 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be

HB4951 Enrolled- 624 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
2credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
3Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
4amount specified and to the person named in the notification
5from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
6Treasurer out of the STAR Bond Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund
7or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
8 Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
9Department shall immediately pay over to the State Treasurer,
10ex officio, as trustee, all taxes, penalties, and interest
11collected under this Section for deposit into the STAR Bond
12Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund. Taxes and penalties collected
13on aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, shall be
14immediately paid over by the Department to the State
15Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, for deposit into the Local
16Government Aviation Trust Fund. The Department shall only pay
17moneys into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund under
18this Section for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
19U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
20District. On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
21Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
22disbursement of stated sums of money to named political
23subdivisions from the STAR Bond Retailers' Occupation Tax
24Fund, the political subdivisions to be those from which
25retailers have paid taxes or penalties under this Section to
26the Department during the second preceding calendar month. The

HB4951 Enrolled- 625 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1amount to be paid to each political subdivision shall be the
2amount (not including credit memoranda and not including taxes
3and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold on or after
4December 1, 2019) collected under this Section during the
5second preceding calendar month by the Department plus an
6amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any
7amounts that were erroneously paid to a different taxing body,
8and not including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
9during the second preceding calendar month by the Department,
10less 3% of that amount, which shall be deposited into the Tax
11Compliance and Administration Fund and shall be used by the
12Department, subject to appropriation, to cover the costs of
13the Department in administering and enforcing the provisions
14of this Section, on behalf of such political subdivision, and
15not including any amount that the Department determines is
16necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a
17different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
18political subdivision. Within 10 days after receipt by the
19Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the political
20subdivisions provided for in this Section to be given to the
21Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the
22orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance
23with the directions contained in the certification. The
24proceeds of the tax paid to political subdivisions under this
25Section shall be deposited into either (i) the STAR Bonds Tax
26Allocation Fund by the political subdivision if the political

HB4951 Enrolled- 626 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1subdivision has designated them as pledged STAR revenues by
2resolution or ordinance or (ii) the political subdivision's
3general corporate fund if the political subdivision has not
4designated them as pledged STAR revenues.
5 An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the
6tax under this Section or effecting a change in the rate
7thereof shall either (i) be adopted and a certified copy
8thereof filed with the Department on or before the first day of
9April, whereupon the Department, if all other requirements of
10this Section are met, shall proceed to administer and enforce
11this Section as of the first day of July next following the
12adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a certified copy
13thereof filed with the Department on or before the first day of
14October, whereupon, if all other requirements of this Section
15are met, the Department shall proceed to administer and

17following the adoption and filing.
18 The Department of Revenue shall not administer or enforce
19an ordinance imposing, discontinuing, or changing the rate of
20the tax under this Section until the political subdivision
21also provides, in the manner prescribed by the Department, the
22boundaries of the STAR bond district and each address in the
23STAR bond district in such a way that the Department can
24determine by its address whether a business is located in the
25STAR bond district. The political subdivision must provide
26this boundary and address information to the Department on or

HB4951 Enrolled- 627 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1before April 1 for administration and enforcement of the tax
2under this Section by the Department beginning on the
3following July 1 and on or before October 1 for administration
4and enforcement of the tax under this Section by the
5Department beginning on the following January 1. The
6Department of Revenue shall not administer or enforce any
7change made to the boundaries of a STAR bond district or any
8address change, addition, or deletion until the political
9subdivision reports the boundary change or address change,
10addition, or deletion to the Department in the manner
11prescribed by the Department. The political subdivision must
12provide this boundary change or address change, addition, or
13deletion information to the Department on or before April 1
14for administration and enforcement by the Department of the
15change, addition, or deletion beginning on the following July
161 and on or before October 1 for administration and
17enforcement by the Department of the change, addition, or
18deletion beginning on the following January 1. The retailers
19in the STAR bond district shall be responsible for charging
20the tax imposed under this Section. If a retailer is
21incorrectly included or excluded from the list of those
22required to collect the tax under this Section, both the
23Department of Revenue and the retailer shall be held harmless
24if they reasonably relied on information provided by the
25political subdivision.
26 A political subdivision that imposes the tax under this

HB4951 Enrolled- 628 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Section must submit to the Department of Revenue any other
2information as the Department may require that is necessary
3for the administration and enforcement of the tax.
4 When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
5political subdivision under this Section, the Department shall
6increase or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to
7offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset
8amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the
9previous 6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.
10 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
11the political subdivision to impose a tax upon the privilege
12of engaging in any business which under the Constitution of
13the United States may not be made the subject of taxation by
14this State.
15 (e) When STAR bond project costs, including, without
16limitation, all political subdivision obligations financing
17STAR bond project costs, have been paid, any surplus funds
18then remaining in the STAR Bonds Tax Allocation Fund shall be
19distributed to the treasurer of the political subdivision for
20deposit into the political subdivision's general corporate
21fund. Upon payment of all STAR bond project costs and
22retirement of obligations, but in no event later than the

5 Section 75-30. The Counties Code is amended by changing
6Sections 5-1006, 5-1006.5, 5-1006.7, 5-1007, and 5-1008.5 as
7follows:
8 (55 ILCS 5/5-1006) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1006)
9 Sec. 5-1006. Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax
10Law. Any county that is a home rule unit may impose a tax upon
11all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
12personal property, other than an item of tangible personal
13property titled or registered with an agency of this State's
14government, at retail in the county on the gross receipts from
15such sales made in the course of their business. If imposed,
16this tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after
17September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be imposed on
18tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
19Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under
20this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
21December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
22fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
23purposes. If the county does not have an airport-related
24purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then

HB4951 Enrolled- 630 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The county must comply
2with the certification requirements for airport-related
3purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
4Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
5has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
6Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for
7so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b)
8and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The changes made
9to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 101st General
10Assembly are a denial and limitation of home rule powers and
11functions under subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of
12the Illinois Constitution.
13 If, on January 1, 2025, a unit of local government has in
14effect a tax under this Section, or if, after January 1, 2025,
15a unit of local government imposes a tax under this Section,
16then that tax applies to leases of tangible personal property
17in effect, entered into, or renewed on or after that date in
18the same manner as the tax under this Section and in accordance
19with the changes made by this amendatory Act of the 103rd
20General Assembly.
21 The tax imposed by a home rule county pursuant to this
22Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
23incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State
24Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration that is
25issued by the Department to a retailer under the Retailers'
26Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a

HB4951 Enrolled- 631 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1business that is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
2enacted pursuant to this Section without registering
3separately with the Department under such ordinance or
4resolution or under this Section. The Department shall have
5full power to administer and enforce this Section; to collect
6all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
7penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
8to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account
9of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
10administration of, and compliance with, this Section, the
11Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
12have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers
13and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
14restrictions, limitations, penalties and definitions of terms,
15and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
16Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through
172-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other than the
18State rate of tax), 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes
19and penalties collected, and except that the retailer's
20discount is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that
21are subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.

20preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each county
21shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda and not
22including taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold
23on or after December 1, 2019) collected hereunder during the
24second preceding calendar month by the Department plus an
25amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any
26amounts that were erroneously paid to a different taxing body,

HB4951 Enrolled- 634 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1and not including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
2during the second preceding calendar month by the Department
3on behalf of such county, and not including any amount which
4the Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts
5which were payable to a different taxing body but were
6erroneously paid to the county, and not including any amounts
7that are transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1.5%
8of the remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the
9Tax Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
10time of each monthly disbursement to the counties, shall

14Occupation Tax Act and all provisions of the Uniform Penalty
15and Interest Act as if those provisions were set forth in this
16subsection.
17 The certificate of registration that is issued by the
18Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
19Act permits the retailer to engage in a business that is
20taxable without registering separately with the Department
21under an ordinance or resolution under this subsection.
22 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
23granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
24seller's tax liability by separately stating that tax as an
25additional charge, which may be stated in combination, in a
26single amount, with State tax that sellers are required to

23as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
24U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county.
25 The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
26penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be

23seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
24sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale
25in interstate or foreign commerce.
26 (f) Nothing in this Section may be construed to authorize

HB4951 Enrolled- 671 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

5pursuant to a referendum held before August 23, 2011 (the
6effective date of Public Act 97-542) at a rate below the rate
7set forth in the question approved by a majority of electors of
8that county voting on the question as provided in subsection
9(c), then the county board may, by ordinance, increase the
10rate of the tax up to the rate set forth in the question
11approved by a majority of electors of that county voting on the
12question as provided in subsection (c). If a county board
13imposes a tax under this Section pursuant to a referendum held
14before August 23, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
1597-542), then the board may, by ordinance, discontinue or

1proceeds of the tax under this Section, then the county board
2may not reduce the tax rate or discontinue the tax if that rate
3reduction or discontinuance would adversely affect the school
4board's ability to pay the principal and interest on those
5bonds as they become due or necessitate the extension of
6additional property taxes to pay the principal and interest on
7those bonds. If the county board reduces the tax rate or
8discontinues the tax, then a referendum must be held in
9accordance with subsection (c) of this Section in order to
10increase the rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued
11tax.

1 Sec. 5-1007. Home Rule County Service Occupation Tax Law.
2The corporate authorities of a home rule county may impose a
3tax upon all persons engaged, in such county, in the business
4of making sales of service at the same rate of tax imposed
5pursuant to Section 5-1006 of the selling price of all
6tangible personal property transferred by such servicemen
7either in the form of tangible personal property or in the form
8of real estate as an incident to a sale of service. If imposed,
9such tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after
10September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be imposed on
11tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
12Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under
13this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
14December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
15fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
16purposes. If the county does not have an airport-related
17purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
18aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The county must comply
19with the certification requirements for airport-related
20purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
21Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
22has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
23Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for
24so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b)
25and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The changes made
26to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 101st General

HB4951 Enrolled- 677 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Assembly are a denial and limitation of home rule powers and
2functions under subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of
3the Illinois Constitution. The tax imposed by a home rule
4county pursuant to this Section and all civil penalties that
5may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
6enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
7of registration which is issued by the Department to a
8retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or under the
9Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit such registrant to
10engage in a business which is taxable under any ordinance or
11resolution enacted pursuant to this Section without
12registering separately with the Department under such
13ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
14shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
15to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
16of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
17provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
18arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
19hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
20Section the Department and persons who are subject to this
21Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
22immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
23conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
24definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
25as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in

6merchandise credit for this county tax may not be taken
7against any State tax, and except that the retailer's discount
8is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject
9to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
10U.S.C. 47133), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to
11Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except
12that any reference to the State shall mean the taxing county),
13the first paragraph of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the
14Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
15Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were

17 Sec. 5-1008.5. Use and occupation taxes.
18 (a) The Rock Island County Board may adopt a resolution
19that authorizes a referendum on the question of whether the
20county shall be authorized to impose a retailers' occupation
21tax, a service occupation tax, and a use tax at a rate of 1/4
22of 1% on behalf of the economic development activities of Rock
23Island County and communities located within the county. The
24county board shall certify the question to the proper election
25authorities who shall submit the question to the voters of the

HB4951 Enrolled- 684 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1county at the next regularly scheduled election in accordance
2with the general election law. The question shall be in
3substantially the following form:
4 Shall Rock Island County be authorized to impose a
5 retailers' occupation tax, a service occupation tax, and a
6 use tax at the rate of 1/4 of 1% for the sole purpose of
7 economic development activities, including creation and
8 retention of job opportunities, support of affordable
9 housing opportunities, and enhancement of quality of life
10 improvements?
11 Votes shall be recorded as "yes" or "no". If a majority of
12all votes cast on the proposition are in favor of the
13proposition, the county is authorized to impose the tax.
14 (b) The county shall impose the retailers' occupation tax
15upon all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
16personal property at retail in the county, at the rate
17approved by referendum, on the gross receipts from the sales
18made in the course of those businesses within the county. This
19additional tax may not be imposed on tangible personal
20property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation
21Tax Act. Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on
22sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for
23airport-related purposes. If the county does not have an
24airport-related purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel
25tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The
26county must comply with the certification requirements for

HB4951 Enrolled- 685 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers'
2Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,
3"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
46z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
5fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
6of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
7county. The tax imposed under this Section and all civil
8penalties that may be assessed as an incident of the tax shall
9be collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
10Department has full power to administer and enforce this
11Section; to collect all taxes and penalties so collected in
12the manner provided in this Section; and to determine all
13rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
14payment of tax or penalty under this Section. In the
15administration of, and compliance with, this Section, the
16Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
17(i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
18powers and duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions,
19restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions,
20and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
21procedure as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d,
221e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2, 2-5, 2-5.5, 2-10 (in respect to
23all provisions other than the State rate of tax), 2-15 through

5Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and
6Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were set forth in
7this subsection.
8 Persons subject to any tax imposed under this subsection
9may reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability by
10separately stating the tax as an additional charge, which
11charge may be stated in combination, in a single amount, with
12State taxes that sellers are required to collect, in
13accordance with bracket schedules prescribed by the
14Department.
15 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
16made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
17credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
18Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
19amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
20from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
21Treasurer out of the tax fund referenced under paragraph (g)
22of this Section or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund,
23as appropriate.
24 If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall
25also be imposed at the same rate under subsections (c) and (d)
26of this Section.

HB4951 Enrolled- 687 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
2under this Section is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer
3of coal or another mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at
4retail at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
5Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not
6apply to coal or another mineral when it is delivered or
7shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
8Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the federal
9Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
10 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
11the county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
12any business that under the Constitution of the United States
13may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
14 (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
15service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
16upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
17making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
18sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
19the county as an incident to a sale of service. This additional
20tax may not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed at
21the 1% rate under the Service Occupation Tax Act. Beginning
22December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
23fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
24purposes. If the county does not have an airport-related
25purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
26aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The county must comply

HB4951 Enrolled- 688 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1with the certification requirements for airport-related
2purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
3Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
4has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
5Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for
6so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b)
7and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The tax imposed
8under this subsection and all civil penalties that may be
9assessed as an incident of the tax shall be collected and
10enforced by the Department of Revenue. The Department has full
11power to administer and enforce this paragraph; to collect all
12taxes and penalties due under this Section; to dispose of
13taxes and penalties so collected in the manner provided in
14this Section; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
15arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
16under this Section. In the administration of, and compliance
17with this paragraph, the Department and persons who are
18subject to this paragraph shall (i) have the same rights,
19remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be
20subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
21penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and definitions of terms,
22and (iii) employ the same modes of procedure as are prescribed
23in Sections 2 (except that the reference to State in the
24definition of supplier maintaining a place of business in this
25State shall mean the county), 2a, 2b, 3 through 3-55 (in
26respect to all provisions other than the State rate of tax), 4

4be the county), 9 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
5penalties collected, and except that the returned merchandise
6credit for this tax may not be taken against any State tax, and
7except that the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes
8paid on aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use
9requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 11,

11Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference to the
12State shall mean the county), 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the
13Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
14Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
15set forth in this subsection.
16 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
17granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
18serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
19additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
20in a single amount, with State tax that servicemen are
21authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
22accordance with bracket schedules prescribed by the
23Department.
24 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
25made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
26credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State

16date in the same manner as the tax under this Section and in
17accordance with the changes made by this amendatory Act of the
18103rd General Assembly.

22property that is purchased outside the county at retail from a
23retailer, and that is titled or registered at a location

3county. The tax must be paid to the State, or an exemption
4determination must be obtained from the Department of Revenue,
5before the title or certificate of registration for the
6property may be issued. The tax or proof of exemption may be
7transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
8which, or the State officer with whom, the tangible personal

8tangible personal property titled or registered with an agency
9of this State's government, at retail in the municipality on
10the gross receipts from these sales made in the course of such
11business. If imposed, the tax shall only be imposed in 1/4%
12increments. On and after September 1, 1991, this additional
13tax may not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed at
14the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the
150% rate imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General

4amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly are a denial and
5limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection
6(g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
7The tax imposed by a home rule municipality under this Section
8and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident of
9the tax shall be collected and enforced by the State
10Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration that is

13business that is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
14enacted pursuant to this Section without registering

10Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
11disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
12the municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid

23calendar month by the Department on behalf of such
24municipality, and not including any amount that the Department
25determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were
26payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously paid

1to the municipality, and not including any amounts that are
2transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1.5% of the

4Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
5time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall

HB4951 Enrolled- 705 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Occupation Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home
2rule municipality may impose a tax upon all persons engaged in
3the business of selling tangible personal property, other than
4on an item of tangible personal property which is titled and
5registered by an agency of this State's Government, at retail
6in the municipality for expenditure on public infrastructure
7or for property tax relief or both as defined in Section
88-11-1.2 if approved by referendum as provided in Section
98-11-1.1, of the gross receipts from such sales made in the
10course of such business. If the tax is approved by referendum
11on or after July 14, 2010 (the effective date of Public Act
1296-1057), the corporate authorities of a non-home rule
13municipality may, until July 1, 2030, use the proceeds of the
14tax for expenditure on municipal operations, in addition to or
15in lieu of any expenditure on public infrastructure or for
16property tax relief. The tax imposed may not be more than 1%
17and may be imposed only in 1/4% increments. The tax may not be
18imposed on tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate
19under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate
20imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
21Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed
22on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is expended
23for airport-related purposes. If a municipality does not have
24an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel
25tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. Each
26municipality must comply with the certification requirements

HB4951 Enrolled- 706 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the
2Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,
3"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
46z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
5fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
6of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
7municipality. The tax imposed by a municipality pursuant to
8this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
9incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State
10Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration which
11is issued by the Department to a retailer under the Retailers'
12Occupation Tax Act shall permit such retailer to engage in a
13business which is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
14enacted pursuant to this Section without registering
15separately with the Department under such ordinance or
16resolution or under this Section. The Department shall have
17full power to administer and enforce this Section; to collect
18all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
19penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided, and
20to determine all rights to credit memoranda, arising on
21account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
22In the administration of, and compliance with, this Section,
23the Department and persons who are subject to this Section
24shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
25powers and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
26restrictions, limitations, penalties and definitions of terms,

11Penalty and Interest Act as fully as if those provisions were
12set forth herein.
13 No municipality may impose a tax under this Section unless
14the municipality also imposes a tax at the same rate under
15Section 8-11-1.4 of this Code.
16 If, on January 1, 2025, a unit of local government has in
17effect a tax under this Section, or if, after January 1, 2025,
18a unit of local government imposes a tax under this Section,
19then that tax applies to leases of tangible personal property
20in effect, entered into, or renewed on or after that date in
21the same manner as the tax under this Section and in accordance
22with the changes made by this amendatory Act of the 103rd

2combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
3are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
4bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
5 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
6made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
7credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
8Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
9amount specified, and to the person named, in such
10notification from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by
11the State Treasurer out of the non-home rule municipal
12retailers' occupation tax fund or the Local Government
13Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
14 Except as otherwise provided, the Department shall
15forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as
16trustee, all taxes and penalties collected hereunder for
17deposit into the Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation
18Tax Fund. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold
19on or after December 1, 2019, shall be immediately paid over by
20the Department to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee,
21for deposit into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund. The
22Department shall only pay moneys into the Local Government
23Aviation Trust Fund under this Section for so long as the
24revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
2547133 are binding on the municipality.

6this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
7sales within a STAR bond district.
8 After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
9on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
10Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
11disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
12the municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid
13taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the
14second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
15municipality shall be the amount (not including credit
16memoranda and not including taxes and penalties collected on
17aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019) collected
18hereunder during the second preceding calendar month by the
19Department plus an amount the Department determines is
20necessary to offset any amounts which were erroneously paid to
21a different taxing body, and not including an amount equal to
22the amount of refunds made during the second preceding

11provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by
12the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
13drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
14directions contained in such certification.
15 For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit
16whose tax is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer of coal
17or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail at the
18place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is
19extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
20coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the

20Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home rule
21municipality may impose a tax upon all persons engaged, in
22such municipality, in the business of making sales of service
23for expenditure on public infrastructure or for property tax
24relief or both as defined in Section 8-11-1.2 if approved by

1price of all tangible personal property transferred by such
2servicemen either in the form of tangible personal property or
3in the form of real estate as an incident to a sale of service.
4If the tax is approved by referendum on or after July 14, 2010
5(the effective date of Public Act 96-1057), the corporate
6authorities of a non-home rule municipality may, until
7December 31, 2030, use the proceeds of the tax for expenditure
8on municipal operations, in addition to or in lieu of any
9expenditure on public infrastructure or for property tax
10relief. The tax imposed may not be more than 1% and may be
11imposed only in 1/4% increments. The tax may not be imposed on
12tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
13Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under

15December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
16fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
17purposes. If a municipality does not have an airport-related
18purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
19aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. Each municipality must
20comply with the certification requirements for airport-related
21purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
22Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
23has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State

2civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof
3shall be collected and enforced by the State Department of
4Revenue. The certificate of registration which is issued by

7such registrant to engage in a business which is taxable under
8any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section

10ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
11shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;

13of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
14provided, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
15arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty

11approved a business district plan, have designated a business
12district, and have elected to impose a tax by ordinance
13pursuant to subsection (10) or (11) of Section 11-74.3-3, then
14each year after the date of the approval of the ordinance but
15terminating upon the date all business district project costs
16and all obligations paying or reimbursing business district
17project costs, if any, have been paid, but in no event later
18than the dissolution date, all amounts generated by the
19retailers' occupation tax and service occupation tax shall be
20collected and the tax shall be enforced by the Department of

25be enforced by the municipality in the same manner as all hotel

HB4951 Enrolled- 732 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1operators' occupation taxes imposed in the municipality
2imposing the tax. The corporate authorities of the
3municipality shall deposit the proceeds of the taxes imposed
4under subsections (10) and (11) of Section 11-74.3-3 into a
5special fund of the municipality called the "[Name of]
6Business District Tax Allocation Fund" for the purpose of
7paying or reimbursing business district project costs and
8obligations incurred in the payment of those costs.
9 (b) The corporate authorities of a municipality that has
10designated a business district under this Law may, by
11ordinance, impose a Business District Retailers' Occupation
12Tax upon all persons engaged in the business of selling
13tangible personal property, other than an item of tangible
14personal property titled or registered with an agency of this
15State's government, at retail in the business district at a
16rate not to exceed 1% of the gross receipts from the sales made
17in the course of such business, to be imposed only in 0.25%
18increments. The tax may not be imposed on tangible personal
19property taxed at the rate of 1% under the Retailers'
20Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under this
21amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
22December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020, this tax is not
23imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
24expended for airport-related purposes. If the District does
25not have an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates
26aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from

HB4951 Enrolled- 733 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1the tax. Each municipality must comply with the certification
2requirements for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22
3of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this
4Section, "airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed
5in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. Beginning January
61, 2021, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel for
7so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b)
8and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the District.
9 The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
10penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
11collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
12certificate of registration that is issued by the Department
13to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall
14permit the retailer to engage in a business that is taxable
15under any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this
16subsection without registering separately with the Department
17under such ordinance or resolution or under this subsection.
18The Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer
19and enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes and
20penalties due under this subsection in the manner hereinafter
21provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
22arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
23under this subsection. In the administration of, and
24compliance with, this subsection, the Department and persons
25who are subject to this subsection shall have the same rights,
26remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be

HB4951 Enrolled- 734 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

4Sections 1, 1a through 1o, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all
5provisions therein other than the State rate of tax), 2c
6through 2h, 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
7penalties collected, and except that the retailer's discount

12Occupation Tax Act and all provisions of the Uniform Penalty
13and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were set
14forth herein.
15 Persons subject to any tax imposed under this subsection
16may reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability
17under this subsection by separately stating the tax as an
18additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
19in a single amount, with State taxes that sellers are required
20to collect under the Use Tax Act, in accordance with such
21bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
22 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
23made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
24credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
25Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
26amount specified and to the person named in the notification

6enforcement of the tax.
7 When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
8municipality under this subsection, the Department shall
9increase or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to
10offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset
11amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the

14the municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of
15engaging in any business which under the Constitution of the
16United States may not be made the subject of taxation by this
17State.
18 If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall
19also be imposed under subsection (c) of this Section.

24making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal
25property within the business district, either in the form of
26tangible personal property or in the form of real estate as an

HB4951 Enrolled- 740 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

2same rate as the tax imposed in subsection (b) and shall not
3exceed 1% of the selling price of tangible personal property
4so transferred within the business district, to be imposed
5only in 0.25% increments. The tax may not be imposed on
6tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the

10fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
11purposes. If the District does not have an airport-related
12purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
13aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. Each municipality must
14comply with the certification requirements for airport-related
15purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
16Act. For purposes of this Act, "airport-related purposes" has
17the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance
18Act. Beginning January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on
19sales of aviation fuel for so long as the revenue use
20requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are

2engage in a business which is taxable under any ordinance or
3resolution enacted pursuant to this subsection without

6Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer and
7enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties
8due under this subsection; to dispose of taxes and penalties
9so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to

24 Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize
25a municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
26in any business which under the Constitution of the United

HB4951 Enrolled- 749 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
2 The proceeds of the tax imposed under this subsection
3shall be deposited into the Business District Tax Allocation
4Fund.
5 (e) Obligations secured by the Business District Tax
6Allocation Fund may be issued to provide for the payment or
7reimbursement of business district project costs. Those
8obligations, when so issued, shall be retired in the manner
9provided in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of those
10obligations by the receipts of taxes imposed pursuant to
11subsections (10) and (11) of Section 11-74.3-3 and by other

13municipality may in the ordinance pledge, for any period of
14time up to and including the dissolution date, all or any part
15of the funds in and to be deposited in the Business District
16Tax Allocation Fund to the payment of business district
17project costs and obligations. Whenever a municipality pledges
18all of the funds to the credit of a business district tax
19allocation fund to secure obligations issued or to be issued
20to pay or reimburse business district project costs, the
21municipality may specifically provide that funds remaining to
22the credit of such business district tax allocation fund after
23the payment of such obligations shall be accounted for
24annually and shall be deemed to be "surplus" funds, and such
25"surplus" funds shall be expended by the municipality for any
26business district project cost as approved in the business

HB4951 Enrolled- 750 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1district plan. Whenever a municipality pledges less than all
2of the monies to the credit of a business district tax
3allocation fund to secure obligations issued or to be issued
4to pay or reimburse business district project costs, the
5municipality shall provide that monies to the credit of the
6business district tax allocation fund and not subject to such
7pledge or otherwise encumbered or required for payment of
8contractual obligations for specific business district project
9costs shall be calculated annually and shall be deemed to be
10"surplus" funds, and such "surplus" funds shall be expended by
11the municipality for any business district project cost as
12approved in the business district plan.
13 No obligation issued pursuant to this Law and secured by a
14pledge of all or any portion of any revenues received or to be
15received by the municipality from the imposition of taxes
16pursuant to subsection (10) of Section 11-74.3-3, shall be
17deemed to constitute an economic incentive agreement under
18Section 8-11-20, notwithstanding the fact that such pledge
19provides for the sharing, rebate, or payment of retailers'
20occupation taxes or service occupation taxes imposed pursuant
21to subsection (10) of Section 11-74.3-3 and received or to be
22received by the municipality from the development or
23redevelopment of properties in the business district.
24 Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
25municipality may further secure obligations secured by the
26business district tax allocation fund with a pledge, for a

HB4951 Enrolled- 751 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1period not greater than the term of the obligations and in any
2case not longer than the dissolution date, of any part or any
3combination of the following: (i) net revenues of all or part
4of any business district project; (ii) taxes levied or imposed
5by the municipality on any or all property in the
6municipality, including, specifically, taxes levied or imposed
7by the municipality in a special service area pursuant to the
8Special Service Area Tax Law; (iii) the full faith and credit
9of the municipality; (iv) a mortgage on part or all of the
10business district project; or (v) any other taxes or
11anticipated receipts that the municipality may lawfully
12pledge.
13 Such obligations may be issued in one or more series, bear
14such date or dates, become due at such time or times as therein
15provided, but in any case not later than (i) 20 years after the
16date of issue or (ii) the dissolution date, whichever is
17earlier, bear interest payable at such intervals and at such
18rate or rates as set forth therein, except as may be limited by
19applicable law, which rate or rates may be fixed or variable,
20be in such denominations, be in such form, either coupon,
21registered, or book-entry, carry such conversion, registration
22and exchange privileges, be subject to defeasance upon such
23terms, have such rank or priority, be executed in such manner,

10corporate authorities shall determine. No referendum approval
11of the electors shall be required as a condition to the

14 In the event the municipality authorizes the issuance of
15obligations pursuant to the authority of this Law secured by
16the full faith and credit of the municipality, or pledges ad
17valorem taxes pursuant to this subsection, which obligations
18are other than obligations which may be issued under home rule
19powers provided by Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
20Constitution or which ad valorem taxes are other than ad
21valorem taxes which may be pledged under home rule powers
22provided by Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
23Constitution or which are levied in a special service area
24pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Law, the ordinance
25authorizing the issuance of those obligations or pledging
26those taxes shall be published within 10 days after the

HB4951 Enrolled- 753 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1ordinance has been adopted, in a newspaper having a general

3ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (i) the specific
4number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
5question of the issuance of the obligations or pledging such
6ad valorem taxes to be submitted to the electors; (ii) the time
7within which the petition must be filed; and (iii) the date of
8the prospective referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide
9a petition form to any individual requesting one.
10 If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
11hereinafter provided in this Section, within 21 days after the
12publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in
13effect. However, if within that 21-day period a petition is
14filed with the municipal clerk, signed by electors numbering
15not less than 15% of the number of electors voting for the
16mayor or president at the last general municipal election,
17asking that the question of issuing obligations using full
18faith and credit of the municipality as security for the cost
19of paying or reimbursing business district project costs, or
20of pledging such ad valorem taxes for the payment of those
21obligations, or both, be submitted to the electors of the
22municipality, the municipality shall not be authorized to
23issue obligations of the municipality using the full faith and
24credit of the municipality as security or pledging such ad

26until the proposition has been submitted to and approved by a

HB4951 Enrolled- 754 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1majority of the voters voting on the proposition at a
2regularly scheduled election. The municipality shall certify
3the proposition to the proper election authorities for
4submission in accordance with the general election law.
5 The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that
6the obligations shall contain a recital that they are issued
7pursuant to this Law, which recital shall be conclusive
8evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their
9issuance.
10 In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
11obligations pursuant to this Law secured by the full faith and
12credit of the municipality, the ordinance authorizing the
13obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a
14direct annual tax upon all taxable property within the
15municipality sufficient to pay the principal thereof and
16interest thereon as it matures, which levy may be in addition
17to and exclusive of the maximum of all other taxes authorized
18to be levied by the municipality, which levy, however, shall
19be abated to the extent that monies from other sources are
20available for payment of the obligations and the municipality
21certifies the amount of those monies available to the county
22clerk.
23 A certified copy of the ordinance shall be filed with the
24county clerk of each county in which any portion of the
25municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority
26for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited

3in whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by the
4municipality under the authority of this Law, whether at or
5prior to maturity. However, the last maturity of the refunding
6obligations shall not be expressed to mature later than the
7dissolution date.
8 In the event a municipality issues obligations under home

11project costs, the municipality may, if it has followed the
12procedures in conformance with this Law, retire those
13obligations from funds in the business district tax allocation
14fund in amounts and in such manner as if those obligations had
15been issued pursuant to the provisions of this Law.
16 No obligations issued pursuant to this Law shall be
17regarded as indebtedness of the municipality issuing those
18obligations or any other taxing district for the purpose of
19any limitation imposed by law.
20 Obligations issued pursuant to this Law shall not be
21subject to the provisions of the Bond Authorization Act.
22 (f) When business district project costs, including,
23without limitation, all obligations paying or reimbursing
24business district project costs have been paid, any surplus
25funds then remaining in the Business District Tax Allocation
26Fund shall be distributed to the municipal treasurer for

15 Sec. 245-12. Use and occupation taxes.
16 (a) The Authority may adopt a resolution that authorizes a
17referendum on the question of whether the Authority shall be
18authorized to impose a retailers' occupation tax, a service
19occupation tax, and a use tax in one-quarter percent
20increments at a rate not to exceed 1%. The Authority shall
21certify the question to the proper election authorities who

23area at the next regularly scheduled election in accordance
24with the general election law. The question shall be in

HB4951 Enrolled- 757 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1substantially the following form:
2 "Shall the Salem Civic Center Authority be authorized to

5 purpose of obtaining funds for the support, construction,
6 maintenance, or financing of a facility of the Authority?"
7 Votes shall be recorded as "yes" or "no".
8 If a majority of all votes cast on the proposition are in
9favor of the proposition, the Authority is authorized to
10impose the tax.
11 (b) The Authority shall impose the retailers' occupation
12tax upon all persons engaged in the business of selling

17December 31, 2020, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
18fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
19purposes. If the Authority does not have an airport-related
20purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
21aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The Authority must
22comply with the certification requirements for airport-related
23purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
24Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
25has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
26Finance Act. Beginning January 1, 2021, this tax is not

HB4951 Enrolled- 758 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

14immunities, powers and duties, (ii) be subject to the same
15conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions,
16exemptions, and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the
17same modes of procedure as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a,
181a-1, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2, 2-5, 2-5.5, 2-10

7charge may be stated in combination, in a single amount, with
8State taxes that sellers are required to collect, in
9accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may
10prescribe.
11 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
12made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
13credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
14Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
15amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
16from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
17Treasurer out of the tax fund referenced under paragraph (g)

1is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
2coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
3seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
4sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
5interstate or foreign commerce.
6 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
7the Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
8any business which under the Constitution of the United States
9may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
10 (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
11service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
12upon all persons engaged, in the metropolitan area, in the
13business of making sales of service, who, as an incident to
14making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal
15property within the metropolitan area as an incident to a sale
16of service. The tax imposed under this subsection and all
17civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof
18shall be collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue.
19 Beginning December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020,
20this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the
21tax revenue is expended for airport-related purposes. If the
22Authority does not have an airport-related purpose to which it
23dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is
24excluded from the tax. The Authority must comply with the
25certification requirements for airport-related purposes under
26Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. Beginning

24district determines that an emergency situation exists

HB4951 Enrolled- 768 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1regarding levee repair or flood prevention, and upon an
2ordinance confirming the determination adopted by the
3affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the county
4board of the county in which the district is situated, the
5county may impose a flood prevention retailers' occupation tax
6upon all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
7personal property at retail within the territory of the
8district to provide revenue to pay the costs of providing

15course of that business. Beginning December 1, 2019 and
16through December 31, 2020, this tax is not imposed on sales of
17aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for
18airport-related purposes. If the District does not have an
19airport-related purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel
20tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The
21County must comply with the certification requirements for
22airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers'
23Occupation Tax Act. The tax imposed under this Section and all
24civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof

3determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of
4the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
5 For purposes of this Act, "airport-related purposes" has
6the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance
7Act. Beginning January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on
8sales of aviation fuel for so long as the revenue use
9requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are
10binding on the District.
11 In the administration of and compliance with this

13subsection (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
14immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) are subject to the same
15conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and
16definitions of terms, and (iii) shall employ the same modes of

9imposed on sales of aviation fuel for so long as the revenue
10use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are

20amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
21December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020, this tax is not

17under an ordinance or resolution under this Section. The

17unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
18purposes. If the District does not have an airport-related

4and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax on aviation fuel is
5expended for airport-related purposes. If there is no

18on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of
19another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this

19other taxable sales of tangible personal property transferred.
20In DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties, the rate

7counties must comply with the certification requirements for
8airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers'

10application, issue permits authorizing the payment of the tax
11herein imposed by out-of-State cigarette manufacturers who are
12not required to be licensed as distributors of cigarettes in
13this State, but who elect to qualify under this Act as
14distributors of cigarettes in this State, and who, to the
15satisfaction of the Department, furnish adequate security to
16insure payment of the tax, provided that any such permit shall
17extend only to cigarettes which such permittee manufacturer
18places in original packages that are contained inside a sealed
19transparent wrapper. Such permits shall be issued without
20charge in such form as the Department may prescribe and shall
21not be transferable or assignable.
22 The following are ineligible to receive a distributor's
23permit under this subsection:

HB4951 Enrolled- 827 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 (1) a person who is not of good character and
2 reputation in the community in which he resides; the
3 Department may consider past conviction of a felony but
4 the conviction shall not operate as an absolute bar to
5 receiving a permit;
6 (2) a person who has been convicted of a felony under
7 any Federal or State law, if the Department, after
8 investigation and a hearing and consideration of
9 mitigating factors and evidence of rehabilitation
10 contained in the applicant's record, including those in
11 Section 4i of this Act, determines that such person has
12 not been sufficiently rehabilitated to warrant the public
13 trust and the conviction will impair the ability of the
14 person to engage in the position for which a permit is
15 sought;
16 (3) a corporation, if any officer, manager or director
17 thereof, or any stockholder or stockholders owning in the
18 aggregate more than 5% of the stock of such corporation,

18any time, the Department considers that the security given is
19inadequate, or that such tax can more effectively be collected
20from distributors located in this State, or whenever the
21permittee violates any provision of this Act or any lawful
22rule or regulation issued by the Department pursuant to this
23Act or is determined to be ineligible for a distributor's
24permit under this Act as provided in this Section, whenever
25the permittee shall notify the Department in writing of his
26desire to have the permit canceled. The Department shall have

HB4951 Enrolled- 829 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

3 mitigating factors and evidence of rehabilitation
4 contained in the applicant's record, including those set

ARTICLE 85.
9 Section 85-5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by
10changing Section 304 as follows:
11 (35 ILCS 5/304) (from Ch. 120, par. 3-304)
12 Sec. 304. Business income of persons other than residents.
13 (a) In general. The business income of a person other than
14a resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's
15business income is derived solely from this State. If a person
16other than a resident derives business income from this State
17and one or more other states, then, for tax years ending on or
18before December 30, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
19this Section, such person's business income shall be
20apportioned to this State by multiplying the income by a
21fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the property
22factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the
23sales factor (if any), and the denominator of which is 4

HB4951 Enrolled- 842 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1reduced by the number of factors other than the sales factor
2which have a denominator of zero and by an additional 2 if the
3sales factor has a denominator of zero. For tax years ending on
4or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise provided
5by this Section, persons other than residents who derive
6business income from this State and one or more other states
7shall compute their apportionment factor by weighting their
8property, payroll, and sales factors as provided in subsection
9(h) of this Section.
10 (1) Property factor.
11 (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator
12 of which is the average value of the person's real and
13 tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the
14 trade or business in this State during the taxable year
15 and the denominator of which is the average value of all
16 the person's real and tangible personal property owned or
17 rented and used in the trade or business during the
18 taxable year.
19 (B) Property owned by the person is valued at its
20 original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at
21 8 times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate
22 is the annual rental rate paid by the person less any
23 annual rental rate received by the person from
24 sub-rentals.
25 (C) The average value of property shall be determined
26 by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the

HB4951 Enrolled- 843 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 taxable year, but the Director may require the averaging
2 of monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably
3 required to reflect properly the average value of the
4 person's property.
5 (2) Payroll factor.
6 (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of
7 which is the total amount paid in this State during the
8 taxable year by the person for compensation, and the
9 denominator of which is the total compensation paid
10 everywhere during the taxable year.
11 (B) Compensation is paid in this State if:
12 (i) The individual's service is performed entirely
13 within this State;
14 (ii) The individual's service is performed both
15 within and without this State, but the service
16 performed without this State is incidental to the
17 individual's service performed within this State; or
18 (iii) For tax years ending prior to December 31,
19 2020, some of the service is performed within this
20 State and either the base of operations, or if there is
21 no base of operations, the place from which the
22 service is directed or controlled is within this
23 State, or the base of operations or the place from
24 which the service is directed or controlled is not in
25 any state in which some part of the service is
26 performed, but the individual's residence is in this

HB4951 Enrolled- 844 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 State. For tax years ending on or after December 31,
2 2020, compensation is paid in this State if some of the
3 individual's service is performed within this State,
4 the individual's service performed within this State
5 is nonincidental to the individual's service performed
6 without this State, and the individual's service is
7 performed within this State for more than 30 working
8 days during the tax year. The amount of compensation
9 paid in this State shall include the portion of the
10 individual's total compensation for services performed
11 on behalf of his or her employer during the tax year
12 which the number of working days spent within this
13 State during the tax year bears to the total number of
14 working days spent both within and without this State
15 during the tax year. For purposes of this paragraph:
16 (a) The term "working day" means all days
17 during the tax year in which the individual
18 performs duties on behalf of his or her employer.
19 All days in which the individual performs no
20 duties on behalf of his or her employer (e.g.,
21 weekends, vacation days, sick days, and holidays)
22 are not working days.
23 (b) A working day is spent within this State
24 if:
25 (1) the individual performs service on
26 behalf of the employer and a greater amount of

HB4951 Enrolled- 845 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 time on that day is spent by the individual
2 performing duties on behalf of the employer
3 within this State, without regard to time
4 spent traveling, than is spent performing
5 duties on behalf of the employer without this
6 State; or
7 (2) the only service the individual
8 performs on behalf of the employer on that day
9 is traveling to a destination within this
10 State, and the individual arrives on that day.
11 (c) Working days spent within this State do
12 not include any day in which the employee is
13 performing services in this State during a
14 disaster period solely in response to a request
15 made to his or her employer by the government of
16 this State, by any political subdivision of this
17 State, or by a person conducting business in this

5 for a period of 60 calendar days after the end
6 of the declared disaster or emergency period.
7 "Disaster or emergency-related services"
8 means repairing, renovating, installing,
9 building, or rendering services or conducting
10 other business activities that relate to

15 equipment owned or used by a public utility,
16 communications network, broadband and internet
17 service provider, cable and video service
18 provider, electric or gas distribution system,

6 individual's total compensation for services performed
7 as a member of a professional athletic team during the
8 taxable year which the number of duty days spent
9 within this State performing services for the team in
10 any manner during the taxable year bears to the total
11 number of duty days spent both within and without this
12 State during the taxable year.
13 (b) Travel days. Travel days that do not involve
14 either a game, practice, team meeting, or other
15 similar team event are not considered duty days spent

9 days during the taxable year from the beginning of
10 the professional athletic team's official
11 pre-season training period through the last game

14 in which they occur, including where a team's
15 official pre-season training period through the
16 last game in which the team competes or is
17 scheduled to compete, occurs during more than one
18 tax year.
19 (A) Duty days shall also include days on

21 performs service for a team on a date that
22 does not fall within the foregoing period
23 (e.g., participation in instructional leagues,

25 "caravans"). Performing a service for a
26 professional athletic team includes conducting

HB4951 Enrolled- 849 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

16 that person joins the team. Conversely, duty
17 days for any person who leaves a team during
18 this period shall end on the day that person
19 leaves the team. Where a person switches teams

24 professional athletic team is not compensated
25 and is not performing services for the team in
26 any manner, including days when such member of

15 (4) The term "total compensation for services
16 performed as a member of a professional athletic
17 team" means the total compensation received during

23 and
24 (B) during the taxable year on a date
25 which does not fall within the foregoing
26 period (e.g., participation in instructional

HB4951 Enrolled- 851 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

2 caravans).
3 This compensation shall include, but is not
4 limited to, salaries, wages, bonuses as described

9 does not include strike benefits, severance pay,
10 termination pay, contract or option year buy-out
11 payments, expansion or relocation payments, or any
12 other payments not related to services performed
13 for the team.

21 state of the purchaser; provided, however, that
22 premises owned or leased by a person who has
23 independently contracted with the seller for the
24 printing of newspapers, periodicals or books shall not
25 be deemed to be an office, store, warehouse, factory
26 or other place of storage for purposes of this

HB4951 Enrolled- 853 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 Section. Sales of tangible personal property are not

15 is utilized in this State during the year the gross
16 receipts are included in gross income.
17 (ii) Place of utilization.
18 (I) A patent is utilized in a state to the
19 extent that it is employed in production,
20 fabrication, manufacturing, or other processing in
21 the state or to the extent that a patented product
22 is produced in the state. If a patent is utilized
23 in more than one state, the extent to which it is
24 utilized in any one state shall be a fraction
25 equal to the gross receipts of the licensee or
26 purchaser from sales or leases of items produced,

HB4951 Enrolled- 854 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 fabricated, manufactured, or processed within that
2 state using the patent and of patented items
3 produced within that state, divided by the total
4 of such gross receipts for all states in which the
5 patent is utilized.
6 (II) A copyright is utilized in a state to the
7 extent that printing or other publication
8 originates in the state. If a copyright is
9 utilized in more than one state, the extent to
10 which it is utilized in any one state shall be a

12 licenses of materials printed or published in that
13 state divided by the total of such gross receipts
14 for all states in which the copyright is utilized.
15 (III) Trademarks and other items of intangible
16 personal property governed by this paragraph (B-1)
17 are utilized in the state in which the commercial

19 (iii) If the state of utilization of an item of
20 property governed by this paragraph (B-1) cannot be

24 Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 267, the gross
25 receipts attributable to that item shall be excluded
26 from both the numerator and the denominator of the

HB4951 Enrolled- 855 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 sales factor.
2 (B-2) Gross receipts from the license, sale, or other
3 disposition of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and
4 similar items of intangible personal property, other than
5 gross receipts governed by paragraph (B-7) of this item
6 (3), may be included in the numerator or denominator of

23 or radio programming shall be determined by reference
24 to the books and records of the taxpayer or by

HB4951 Enrolled- 866 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 year to year for this purpose and fairly represents
2 the taxpayer's activity in this State.
3 "Broadcast" or "broadcasting" or "broadcasting
4 services" means the transmission or provision of film
5 or radio programming, whether through the public
6 airwaves, by cable, by direct or indirect satellite
7 transmission, or by any other means of communication,
8 either through a station, a network, or a cable

10 "Film" or "film programming" means the broadcast
11 on television of any and all performances, events, or
12 productions, including, but not limited to, news,
13 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,

15 live or through the use of video tape, disc, or any
16 other type of format or medium. Each episode of a
17 series of films produced for television shall
18 constitute separate "film" notwithstanding that the
19 series relates to the same principal subject and is
20 produced during one or more tax periods.
21 "Radio" or "radio programming" means the broadcast
22 on radio of any and all performances, events, or
23 productions, including, but not limited to, news,
24 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
25 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
26 live or through the use of an audio tape, disc, or any

HB4951 Enrolled- 867 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 other format or medium. Each episode in a series of
2 radio programming produced for radio broadcast shall
3 constitute a separate "radio programming"
4 notwithstanding that the series relates to the same
5 principal subject and is produced during one or more
6 tax periods.
7 (i) In the case of advertising revenue from
8 broadcasting, the customer is the advertiser and
9 the service is received in this State if the
10 commercial domicile of the advertiser is in this
11 State.
12 (ii) In the case where film or radio
13 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
14 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
15 received from the recipient of the broadcast, the
16 portion of the service that is received in this
17 State is measured by the portion of the recipients
18 of the broadcast located in this State.
19 Accordingly, the fee or other remuneration for
20 such service that is included in the Illinois
21 numerator of the sales factor is the total of
22 those fees or other remuneration received from
23 recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this
24 paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location
25 of the recipients of its broadcast using the
26 address of the recipient shown in its contracts

HB4951 Enrolled- 868 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 with the recipient or using the billing address of
2 the recipient in the taxpayer's records.
3 (iii) In the case where film or radio
4 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
5 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
6 from the person providing the programming, the
7 portion of the broadcast service that is received
8 by such station, network, or cable system in this
9 State is measured by the portion of recipients of
10 the broadcast located in this State. Accordingly,
11 the amount of revenue related to such an
12 arrangement that is included in the Illinois
13 numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or
14 other total remuneration from the person providing
15 the programming related to that broadcast
16 multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
17 that broadcast.
18 (iv) In the case where film or radio
19 programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a

21 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
22 customer the broadcasting service is received at
23 the location of the office of the customer from
24 which the services were ordered in the regular
25 course of the customer's trade or business.
26 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by

HB4951 Enrolled- 869 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
2 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
3 revenue from such customers who receive the
4 broadcasting service in Illinois.
5 (v) In the case where film or radio
6 programming is provided by a taxpayer that is not
7 a network or station to another person for
8 broadcasting in exchange for a fee or other
9 remuneration from that person, the broadcasting
10 service is received at the location of the office
11 of the customer from which the services were
12 ordered in the regular course of the customer's
13 trade or business. Accordingly, in such a case the
14 revenue derived by the taxpayer that is included
15 in the taxpayer's Illinois numerator of the sales
16 factor is the revenue from such customers who
17 receive the broadcasting service in Illinois.
18 (B-8) Gross receipts from winnings under the Illinois

19 31, 2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs
20 (B), (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if

22 (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property
23 are in this State if the property is located in this
24 State.
25 (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible

2 from the lease or rental of tangible personal property
3 that is characteristically moving property, including,

5 aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this
6 State to the extent that the property is used in this
7 State.
8 (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not
9 less than zero) and other items of income from
10 intangible personal property, the sale is in this
11 State if:
12 (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer
13 in the item of intangible personal property within
14 the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue
15 Code, the income or gain is received from a
16 customer in this State. For purposes of this
17 subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the
18 customer is an individual, trust or estate who is
19 a resident of this State and, for all other
20 customers, if the customer's commercial domicile
21 is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual
22 knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile
23 of a customer during a taxable year, the customer
24 shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if
25 the billing address of the customer, as shown in
26 the records of the dealer, is in this State; or

HB4951 Enrolled- 872 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 (b) in all other cases, if the
2 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is

6 greater proportion of the income-producing
7 activity of the taxpayer is performed within this
8 State than in any other state, based on
9 performance costs.
10 (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the
11 services are received in this State. For the purposes
12 of this section, gross receipts from the performance
13 of services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
14 trust may only be attributed to a state where that
15 corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place
16 of business. If the state where the services are
17 received is not readily determinable or is a state
18 where the corporation, partnership, or trust receiving
19 the service does not have a fixed place of business,
20 the services shall be deemed to be received at the
21 location of the office of the customer from which the
22 services were ordered in the regular course of the
23 customer's trade or business. If the ordering office
24 cannot be determined, the services shall be deemed to
25 be received at the office of the customer to which the
26 services are billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in

HB4951 Enrolled- 873 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 the state in which the services are received, the sale
2 must be excluded from both the numerator and the
3 denominator of the sales factor. The Department shall
4 adopt rules prescribing where specific types of
5 service are received, including, but not limited to,
6 publishing, and utility service.
7 (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
8 1995, the following items of income shall not be included
9 in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor:
10 dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the
11 Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in
12 Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
13 shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
14 construing this Section for taxable years ending before
15 December 31, 1995.
16 (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax
17 years ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that
18 a taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
19 paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
20 in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
21 be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
22 that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for
23 any tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to
24 January 1, 1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the
25 provisions of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall
26 be payable to the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent

HB4951 Enrolled- 874 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 such refund is the result of applying the provisions of
2 paragraph (B-1) or (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a
3 unitary business group, such election shall apply to all
4 members of such group for every tax year such group is in
5 existence, but shall not apply to any taxpayer for any
6 period during which that taxpayer is not a member of such
7 group.
8 (b) Insurance companies.
9 (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
10 paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
11 a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
12 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
13 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
14 property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
15 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
16 property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this
17 subsection, the term "direct premiums written" means the
18 total amount of direct premiums written, assessments and
19 annuity considerations as reported for the taxable year on
20 the annual statement filed by the company with the
21 Illinois Director of Insurance in the form approved by the
22 National Convention of Insurance Commissioners or such
23 other form as may be prescribed in lieu thereof.
24 (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
25 written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
26 reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such

HB4951 Enrolled- 875 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
2 such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
3 sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon
4 property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written
5 for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in
6 this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of
7 (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
8 or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for
9 reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk
10 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, premiums
11 written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or
12 risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,
13 may, at the election of the company, be determined on the
14 basis of the proportion which premiums written for
15 reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled
16 in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance
17 accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
18 proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written
19 for insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
20 ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to
21 the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
22 ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by
23 a company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
24 ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
25 that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
26 taxable years, and may be altered only with the written

HB4951 Enrolled- 876 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 permission of the Department, which shall not be
2 unreasonably withheld.
3 (c) Financial organizations.
4 (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
5 December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
6 organization shall be apportioned to this State by
7 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
8 which is its business income from sources within this
9 State, and the denominator of which is its business income
10 from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
11 business income of a financial organization from sources
12 within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in
13 subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
14 adjusted income of an international banking facility as
15 determined in paragraph (2):
16 (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
17 financial services rendered within this State;
18 (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
19 other securities managed within this State;
20 (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
21 customers, which are received within this State;
22 (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
23 business maintained within this State for carrying
24 debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
25 of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
26 (E) Any other gross income resulting from the

HB4951 Enrolled- 877 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 operation as a financial organization within this
2 State.
3 In computing the amounts referred to in paragraphs (A)
4 through (E) of this subsection, any amount received by a
5 member of an affiliated group (determined under Section
6 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code but without reference
7 to whether any such corporation is an "includible
8 corporation" under Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue
9 Code) from another member of such group shall be included
10 only to the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
11 recipient directly related thereto.
12 (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years
13 ending before December 31, 2008:
14 (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
15 international banking facility is its income reduced
16 by the amount of the floor amount.
17 (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
18 amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income
19 of the international banking facility by a fraction,
20 not greater than one, which is determined as follows:
21 (i) The numerator shall be:
22 The average aggregate, determined on a
23 quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
24 loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
25 domiciled borrowers (except where secured
26 primarily by real estate) and to foreign

HB4951 Enrolled- 878 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 governments and other foreign official
2 institutions, as reported for its branches,
3 agencies and offices within the state on its
4 "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
5 Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
6 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
7 other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
8 minus
9 The average aggregate, determined on a
10 quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans
11 of an international banking facility), as reported
12 by the financial institution for its branches,
13 agencies and offices within the state, on the
14 corresponding Schedule and lines of the
15 Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
16 taxable year, provided, however, that in no case
17 shall the amount determined in this clause (the
18 subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
19 preceding clause (the minuend); and
20 (ii) the denominator shall be the average
21 aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
22 international banking facility's loans to banks in
23 foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
24 (except where secured primarily by real estate)
25 and to foreign governments and other foreign
26 official institutions, which were recorded in its

HB4951 Enrolled- 879 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 financial accounts for the current taxable year.
2 (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
3 in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
4 of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
5 Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities
6 is altered so that the information required for
7 determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
8 A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial
9 institution shall notify the Department and the
10 Department may, by regulations or otherwise, prescribe
11 or authorize the use of an alternative source for such
12 information. The financial institution shall also
13 notify the Department should its international banking
14 facility fail to qualify as such, in whole or in part,
15 or should there be any amendment or change to the
16 Consolidated Report of Condition, as originally filed,
17 to the extent such amendment or change alters the
18 information used in determining the floor amount.
19 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, the business income of a financial organization
21 shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying such
22 income by a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross
23 receipts from sources in this State or otherwise
24 attributable to this State's marketplace and the
25 denominator of which is its gross receipts everywhere
26 during the taxable year. "Gross receipts" for purposes of

HB4951 Enrolled- 880 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 this subparagraph (3) means gross income, including net
2 taxable gain on disposition of assets, including
3 securities and money market instruments, when derived from
4 transactions and activities in the regular course of the
5 financial organization's trade or business. The following
6 examples are illustrative:
7 (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or
8 tangible personal property are in this State if the
9 property is located in this State during the rental
10 period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible
11 personal property that is characteristically moving
12 property, including, but not limited to, motor
13 vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile
14 equipment are from sources in this State to the extent
15 that the property is used in this State.
16 (ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
17 disposition, and other receipts from assets in the
18 nature of loans that are secured primarily by real
19 estate or tangible personal property are from sources
20 in this State if the security is located in this State.
21 (iii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
22 disposition, and other receipts from consumer loans
23 that are not secured by real or tangible personal
24 property are from sources in this State if the debtor
25 is a resident of this State.
26 (iv) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on

HB4951 Enrolled- 881 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans
2 and installment obligations that are not secured by
3 real or tangible personal property are from sources in
4 this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be
5 applied in this State. If it cannot be determined
6 where the funds are to be applied, the income and
7 receipts are from sources in this State if the office
8 of the borrower from which the loan was negotiated in
9 the regular course of business is located in this
10 State. If the location of this office cannot be
11 determined, the income and receipts shall be excluded
12 from the numerator and denominator of the sales
13 factor.
14 (v) Interest income, fees, gains on disposition,
15 service charges, merchant discount income, and other
16 receipts from credit card receivables are from sources
17 in this State if the card charges are regularly billed
18 to a customer in this State.
19 (vi) Receipts from the performance of services,
20 including, but not limited to, fiduciary, advisory,
21 and brokerage services, are in this State if the
22 services are received in this State within the meaning
23 of subparagraph (a)(3)(C-5)(iv) of this Section.
24 (vii) Receipts from the issuance of travelers
25 checks and money orders are from sources in this State
26 if the checks and money orders are issued from a

HB4951 Enrolled- 882 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 location within this State.
2 (viii) For tax years ending before December 31,
3 2024, receipts Receipts from investment assets and
4 activities and trading assets and activities are
5 included in the receipts factor as follows:
6 (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not
7 less than zero) and other income from investment
8 assets and activities from trading assets and
9 activities shall be included in the receipts
10 factor. Investment assets and activities and
11 trading assets and activities include, but are not
12 limited to: investment securities; trading account
13 assets; federal funds; securities purchased and
14 sold under agreements to resell or repurchase;
15 options; futures contracts; forward contracts;
16 notional principal contracts such as swaps;
17 equities; and foreign currency transactions. With
18 respect to the investment and trading assets and
19 activities described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
20 of this paragraph, the receipts factor shall
21 include the amounts described in such
22 subparagraphs.
23 (A) The receipts factor shall include the
24 amount by which interest from federal funds
25 sold and securities purchased under resale
26 agreements exceeds interest expense on federal

HB4951 Enrolled- 883 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 funds purchased and securities sold under
2 repurchase agreements.
3 (B) The receipts factor shall include the
4 amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
5 other income from trading assets and
6 activities, including, but not limited to,
7 assets and activities in the matched book, in
8 the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
9 transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
10 interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,
11 and losses from such assets and activities.
12 (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
13 includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
14 less than zero), and other income from investment
15 assets and activities and from trading assets and
16 activities described in paragraph (1) of this
17 subsection that are attributable to this State.
18 (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
19 gains (but not less than zero), and other
20 income from investment assets and activities
21 in the investment account to be attributed to
22 this State and included in the numerator is
23 determined by multiplying all such income from
24 such assets and activities by a fraction, the
25 numerator of which is the gross income from
26 such assets and activities which are properly

HB4951 Enrolled- 884 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 assigned to a fixed place of business of the
2 taxpayer within this State and the denominator
3 of which is the gross income from all such
4 assets and activities.
5 (B) The amount of interest from federal
6 funds sold and purchased and from securities
7 purchased under resale agreements and
8 securities sold under repurchase agreements
9 attributable to this State and included in the
10 numerator is determined by multiplying the
11 amount described in subparagraph (A) of
12 paragraph (1) of this subsection from such
13 funds and such securities by a fraction, the
14 numerator of which is the gross income from
15 such funds and such securities which are
16 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
17 of the taxpayer within this State and the
18 denominator of which is the gross income from
19 all such funds and such securities.
20 (C) The amount of interest, dividends,
21 gains, and other income from trading assets
22 and activities, including, but not limited to,
23 assets and activities in the matched book, in

26 in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this

HB4951 Enrolled- 885 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 paragraph), attributable to this State and
2 included in the numerator is determined by
3 multiplying the amount described in
4 subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of this
5 subsection by a fraction, the numerator of
6 which is the gross income from such trading
7 assets and activities which are properly
8 assigned to a fixed place of business of the
9 taxpayer within this State and the denominator
10 of which is the gross income from all such
11 assets and activities.
12 (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
13 this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
14 the investment or trading asset or activity is
15 assigned to the fixed place of business with
16 which it has a preponderance of substantive
17 contacts. An investment or trading asset or
18 activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
19 place of business without the State shall be
20 presumed to have been properly assigned if:
21 (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
22 regular course of its business, such asset
23 or activity on its records to a fixed
24 place of business consistent with federal
25 or state regulatory requirements;
26 (ii) such assignment on its records is

HB4951 Enrolled- 886 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 based upon substantive contacts of the
2 asset or activity to such fixed place of
3 business; and
4 (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
5 reflecting assignment of such assets or
6 activities for the filing of all state and
7 local tax returns for which an assignment
8 of such assets or activities to a fixed
9 place of business is required.
10 (E) The presumption of proper assignment
11 of an investment or trading asset or activity
12 provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
13 of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
14 showing by the Department, supported by a
15 preponderance of the evidence, that the
16 preponderance of substantive contacts
17 regarding such asset or activity did not occur
18 at the fixed place of business to which it was
19 assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the
20 fixed place of business that has a
21 preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
22 be determined for an investment or trading
23 asset or activity to which the presumption in
24 subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
25 subsection does not apply or with respect to
26 which that presumption has been rebutted, that

HB4951 Enrolled- 887 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 asset or activity is properly assigned to the
2 state in which the taxpayer's commercial
3 domicile is located. For purposes of this
4 subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
5 subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
6 commercial domicile is in the state of the
7 United States or the District of Columbia to
8 which the greatest number of employees are
9 regularly connected with the management of the
10 investment or trading income or out of which
11 they are working, irrespective of where the
12 services of such employees are performed, as
13 of the last day of the taxable year.
14 (ix) For tax years ending on or after December 31,
15 2024, receipts from investment assets and activities
16 and trading assets and activities are included in the
17 receipts factor as follows:
18 (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not
19 less than zero), and other income from investment
20 assets and activities from trading assets and

2 contracts; notional principal contracts, such as
3 swaps; equities; and foreign currency
4 transactions. With respect to the investment and
5 trading assets and activities described in
6 subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph, the

9 (A) The receipts factor shall include the
10 amount by which interest from federal funds
11 sold and securities purchased under resale
12 agreements exceeds interest expense on federal
13 funds purchased and securities sold under
14 repurchase agreements.
15 (B) The receipts factor shall include the
16 amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
17 other income from trading assets and
18 activities, including, but not limited to,
19 assets and activities in the matched book, in
20 the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
21 transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of

2 activities described in paragraph (1) of this
3 subsection that are attributable to this State.
4 (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
5 gains (but not less than zero), and other

10 from those assets and activities by a
11 fraction, the numerator of which is the total
12 receipts included in the numerator pursuant to
13 items (i) through (vii) of this subparagraph
14 (3) and the denominator of which is all total
15 receipts included in the denominator, other
16 than interest, dividends, net gains (but not
17 less than zero), and other income from
18 investment assets and activities and trading
19 assets and activities.
20 (B) The amount of interest from federal
21 funds sold and purchased and from securities
22 purchased under resale agreements and

23 subsection by a fraction, the numerator of
24 which is the total receipts included in the
25 numerator pursuant to items (i) through (vii)

18Section; provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only
19if 50% or more of the business receipts of the unitary business
20group determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for

22or clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described
23in subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
24 In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
25computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
26taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois

HB4951 Enrolled- 893 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
2for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or

4applied to the taxpayer.
5 (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
6before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
7furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to
8this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
9 (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
10 transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
11 State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
12 numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
13 this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
14 miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
15 paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
16 passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
17 for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
18 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
19 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
20 an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
21 freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the
22 person's
23 (A) relative railway operating income from total
24 passenger and total freight service, as reported to
25 the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of
26 transportation by railroad, and

HB4951 Enrolled- 894 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
2 freight transportation, in case of transportation
3 other than by railroad.
4 (2) Such business income derived from transportation
5 by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by
6 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
7 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
8 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the
9 person everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a
10 revenue mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel
11 of oil, 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified
12 quantity of any other substance, the distance of 1 mile
13 for a consideration.
14 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
15 2008, business income derived from providing
16 transportation services other than airline services shall
17 be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the
18 numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any
19 movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or
20 any other substance (other than by airline) that both
21 originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that
22 portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or
23 shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other
24 substance (other than by airline) that originates in one
25 state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or
26 jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the

HB4951 Enrolled- 895 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 miles traveled in this State bears to total miles
2 everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all
3 revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people,
4 goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than
5 by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the
6 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
7 fraction above referred to shall first be determined
8 separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an
9 average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight
10 miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the
11 taxpayer's:
12 (A) relative railway operating income from total
13 passenger and total freight service, as reported to
14 the Surface Transportation Board, in the case of
15 transportation by railroad; and
16 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
17 freight transportation, in case of transportation
18 other than by railroad.
19 (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
21 transportation services shall be apportioned to this State
22 by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
23 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
24 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the
25 person everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a
26 revenue mile is the transportation of one passenger or one

HB4951 Enrolled- 896 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 net ton of freight the distance of one mile for a
2 consideration. If a person is engaged in the
3 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
4 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
5 an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
6 freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the
7 person's relative gross receipts from passenger and
8 freight airline transportation.

8tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
9Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the
10Service Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4
11complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the

13following the month during which such tax liability is
14incurred and shall make payments to the Department on or
15before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
16which such liability is incurred. On and after October 1,
172000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
18Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
19the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was
20$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar

22month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
23during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
24payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
25last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
26If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began

HB4951 Enrolled- 917 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
2equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
3or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
4average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
5for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
6month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
7in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
8liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985, and
9prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
10equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
11month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
12calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
13which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
14January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
15shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
16liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
17for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
18during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
19January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
20after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
21to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
2225% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
23the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
24liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
25prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
26equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the

HB4951 Enrolled- 918 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
2month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
3liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
4of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
5final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
6Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
7the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
8continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
9the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
10quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
11month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
12taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
13computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
14calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
15taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
16the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
17to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
18reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
19threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
20Department for change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
21and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
22the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
23continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
24the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
25quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
26month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such

HB4951 Enrolled- 919 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
2computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
3calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
4taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
5the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
6to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
7reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
8threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
9Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
10The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
11unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
12likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
13be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
141.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not
15occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1,
162023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's
17liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year"
18shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public
19Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred.
20Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this
21paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700
22on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
23premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
24food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft
25drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate
26consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments

HB4951 Enrolled- 920 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through
2June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
3calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as
4if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 had not
5occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
6the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
7taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
8difference between the minimum amount due and the amount of
9such quarter monthly payment actually and timely paid, except
10insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
11month to the Department in excess of the minimum payments
12previously due as provided in this Section. The Department
13shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the
14quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment
15dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly
16basis.
17 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
18the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
19Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
20Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
21the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
22no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
23memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
24in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
25taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
26similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax

HB4951 Enrolled- 921 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
2in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
3prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
4payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
5after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
6unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
7the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
8liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
9Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
10the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
11accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
12the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
13all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
14taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
15be reduced, if necessary, to reflect by 2.1% or 1.75% of the
16difference between the credit taken and that actually due, and
17the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on
18such difference.
19 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
20return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
21the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
22authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
23with the return for January, February, and March of a given
24year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
25April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
26such year; with the return for July, August and September of a

HB4951 Enrolled- 922 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
2return for October, November and December of a given year
3being due by January 20 of the following year.
4 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
5quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
6liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
7Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
8basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
9of the following year.
10 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
11substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
12monthly returns.
13 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
14the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
15case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
16which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
17such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
18Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
19business.
20 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
21aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
22an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
23Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
24property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
25prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
26for each such item of tangible personal property which the

HB4951 Enrolled- 923 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
2retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
3transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
4trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
5trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
6of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
7more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
8to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
9provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
10report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
11vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
12Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
13return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means
14a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
153-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
16watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
17 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
18aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
19an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
20business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
21connection with such business, sells any such item to a
22retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
23other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
24meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
25the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
26or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the

HB4951 Enrolled- 924 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
2return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
3month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
4other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
5under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
6manner and form as required by the Department.
7 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
8vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
9an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
10Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
11Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
12the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
13selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
14traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
15for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
16extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
17the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
18deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
19price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
20such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
21purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
22evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
23if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
24sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
25other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
26Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the

HB4951 Enrolled- 925 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Department may reasonably require.
2 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
3and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
4name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
5price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
6traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
7for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
8extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
9the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
10deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
11price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
12such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
13purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
14evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
15if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
16sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
17such other information as the Department may reasonably
18require.
19 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
20than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
21being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
22than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
23return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
24that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
25Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
26officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be

HB4951 Enrolled- 926 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
2if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
3that this procedure will expedite the processing of
4applications for title or registration.
5 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
6shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
7satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
8the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
9Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
10(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
11that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
12may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
13whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
14that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
15support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
16certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
17tangible personal property.
18 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
19Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
20retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
21evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
22is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
23paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
24Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
25mandate of this paragraph.
26 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer

HB4951 Enrolled- 927 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
2of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
3retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
4paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
5of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
6being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
7the information required by the transaction reporting return
8and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
9the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
10determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
11and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
12credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
13with the Department, but without the vendor's 2.1% or 1.75%
14discount provided for in this Section being allowed. When the
15user pays the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the
16tax in the same amount and in the same form in which it would
17be remitted if the tax had been remitted to the Department by
18the retailer.
19 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
20selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
21the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
22property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
23the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
24purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
25filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
26to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax

HB4951 Enrolled- 928 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax
2which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
3Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
4to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
5such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
6amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
7deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
8purchaser.
9 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
10include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
11covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
12personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
13but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
14from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
15remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
16return.
17 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
18Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
19return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
20returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
21Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
22Acts on the one form.
23 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
24with the Department under separate registration under this
25Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
26single return covering all such registered businesses, but

HB4951 Enrolled- 929 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
2 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
3pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
4fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net
5revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax
6imposed under this Act.
7 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
8pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the

10general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
11property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
12retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of this
13State's government.
14 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
15pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
16fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue realized for
17the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling
18price of tangible personal property, other than (i) tangible
19personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at
20retail from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an
21agency of this State's government and (ii) aviation fuel sold
22on or after December 1, 2019. This exception for aviation fuel
23only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
24U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
25 For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each
26month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program

HB4951 Enrolled- 930 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month
2from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of aviation
3fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be
4required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation
5fuel under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the
6Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund. The Department shall only
7pay moneys into the State Aviation Program Fund and the
8Aviation Fuels Sales Tax Refund Fund under this Act for so long
9as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
10U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
11 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
12pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the
13net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
14rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol. If, in any
15month, the tax on sales tax holiday items, as defined in
16Section 3-6, is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the

4changing Section 9 as follows:
5 (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
6 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
7the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
8of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
9is required to file his return for the period during which such
10tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
111990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
12year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
13serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting the tax,
14keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the
15tax and supplying data to the Department on request. Beginning
16with returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the vendor's
17discount allowed in this Section, the Retailers' Occupation
18Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Use Tax Act,
19including any local tax administered by the Department and
20reported on the same return, shall not exceed $1,000 per month
21in the aggregate. When determining the discount allowed under
22this Section, servicemen shall include the amount of tax that
23would have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed
24under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. The

5for returns that are filed in the manner required by this Act.
6The Department may disallow the discount for servicemen whose
7certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return
8is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the
9certificate of registration has become final. A serviceman
10need not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the
11extent that he is required to pay and does pay the tax imposed
12by the Service Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of
13service involving the incidental transfer by him of the same
14property.
15 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
16before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
17serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
18month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to
19be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed

10Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, or the Child Care
11Act of 1969, or an entity that holds a permit issued pursuant
12to the Life Care Facilities Act. The return shall also include
13the amount of tax that would have been due on the items listed
14in the previous sentence but for the 0% rate imposed under this
15amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly.
16 On and after January 1, 2018, with respect to servicemen
17whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all
18returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
19filed electronically. Servicemen who demonstrate that they do
20not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in
21filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the
22electronic filing requirement.
23 The Department may require returns to be filed on a

4 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
5the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
6of such tax at the time when he is required to file his return
7for the period during which such tax was collectible, less a
8discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
9after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
10greater, which is allowed to reimburse the serviceman for
11expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
12preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax, and supplying
13data to the Department on request. Beginning with returns due
14on or after January 1, 2025, the vendor's discount allowed in

16Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, including any local tax
17administered by the Department and reported on the same
18return, shall not exceed $1,000 per month in the aggregate.
19When determining the discount allowed under this Section,
20servicemen shall include the amount of tax that would have
21been due at the 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under
22Public Act 102-700 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General

4required by this Act. The Department may disallow the discount
5for servicemen whose certificate of registration is revoked at
6the time the return is filed, but only if the Department's
7decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become
8final.
9 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
10conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
11wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
12extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
13filed, the serviceman, in collecting the tax may collect, for

15the selling price actually received during such tax return
16period.
17 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
18before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
19serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
20month in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to

11monthly returns.
12 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
13the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
14case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
15which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
16such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
17Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
18business.
19 Where the same person has more than one business
20registered with the Department under separate registrations
21under this Act, such person may not file each return that is
22due as a single return covering all such registered
23businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
24registered business.
25 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
26aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with

HB4951 Enrolled- 1003 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
2Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
3property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
4prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
5for each such item of tangible personal property which the
6retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a

15seller may report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft,
16motor vehicles, or trailers involved in that transaction to
17the Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction

2retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
3other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
4meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
5the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
6or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
7Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting

13 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
14aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
15an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
16liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
17transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
18required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
19monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
20be required to file returns on an annual basis.
21 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
22vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
23an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
24Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois

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

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

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

HB4951 Enrolled- 1008 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1with the Department, but without the vendor's 2.1% or 1.75%
2discount provided for in this Section being allowed. When the
3user pays the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the
4tax in the same amount and in the same form in which it would
5be remitted if the tax had been remitted to the Department by
6the retailer.
7 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
8period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
9returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
10subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
11may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
12receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
13return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
14with respect to such receipts.
15 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
16behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
17vice-president, secretary, or treasurer or by the properly
18accredited agent of such corporation.
19 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
20return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
21be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
22of the limited liability company.
23 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
24the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
25return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
26Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%

HB4951 Enrolled- 1009 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
2whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
3retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
4preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
5data to the Department on request. On and after January 1,
62021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling
7the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return
8under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the
9time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
10imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer
11using a certified service provider to file a return on its
12behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for
13Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount.
14Beginning with returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the
15vendor's discount allowed in this Section, the Service
16Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
17Act, including any local tax administered by the Department
18and reported on the same return, shall not exceed $1,000 per
19month in the aggregate for returns other than transaction
20returns filed during the month. When determining the discount
21allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount
22of tax that would have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0%
23rate imposed under Public Act 102-700. When determining the
24discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include
25the amount of tax that would have been due at the 6.25% rate
26but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday items under

HB4951 Enrolled- 1010 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1Public Act 102-700. The discount under this Section is not
2allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel
3that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
447107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made pursuant to
5Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on which
6such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
7retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
8transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
9shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
10such retailer files his periodic return, but, beginning with
11returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the vendor's discount
12allowed under this Section and the Use Tax Act, including any
13local tax administered by the Department and reported on the
14same transaction return, shall not exceed $1,000 per month for
15all transaction returns filed during the month. The discount
16allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that
17are filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department
18may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
19registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
20only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
21registration has become final.
22 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
23tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax

4during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
5payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
6last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
7On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average
8monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act, the
9Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service
10Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to
11be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
12$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
13quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
14month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
15during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
16payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and

18If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
19prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
20equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
21or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
22average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
23for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
24month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
25in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
26liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and

7shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
8liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability

10during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
11January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
12after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
13to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
1425% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
15the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
16liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
17prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
18equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
19month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
20month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
21liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
22of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
23final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
24Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
25the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
26taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000

2continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
3the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
4quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
5month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
6taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
7computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
8calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
9taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
10the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
11to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
12reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
13threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
14Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
15On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement
16of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
17taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000

26taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in

HB4951 Enrolled- 1014 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
2to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
3reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
4threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
5Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
6The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
7unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
8likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
9be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
100% in Public Act 102-700 on food for human consumption that is
11to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
12alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult
13use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for
14immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly

16through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for
17the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be

HB4951 Enrolled- 1015 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
2amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
3liable for penalties and interest on the difference between
4the minimum amount due as a payment and the amount of such
5quarter monthly payment actually and timely paid, except
6insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
7month to the Department in excess of the minimum payments
8previously due as provided in this Section. The Department
9shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the
10quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment
11dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly
12basis.
13 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,

17prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
18excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
19calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
20required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
21Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
22month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
23during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
24September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
25each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the

HB4951 Enrolled- 1016 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
2January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
322.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or

8taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the

10preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
11shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
12taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
13Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
14requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
15Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
16such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
17the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less.
18If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
19in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
20penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as
21the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
22excess of the minimum payments previously due.
23 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
24October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
25required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
26any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to

HB4951 Enrolled- 1017 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

9taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
10preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
11shall be credited against the final tax liability of the
12taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
13Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
14requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
15Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
16taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
17preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
18highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
19than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
20liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
21quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
22than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
23at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
24liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
25insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
26month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.

12willfully signs the annual return containing false or
13inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
14accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
15Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
16return may be liable for perjury.
17 The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an

2 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
3collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
4paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
5overpayment of liability.
6 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
7importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
8Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
9assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
10Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to
11such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make
12written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
13 Any person who promotes, organizes, or provides retail
14selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers at
15the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,

9Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
10the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
11payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
12impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
13significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
14exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
15that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
16who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
17business of selling tangible personal property at retail at
18the exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant
19risk of loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall
20notify concessionaires and other sellers affected by the
21imposition of this requirement. In the absence of notification
22by the Department, the concessionaires and other sellers shall
23file their returns as otherwise required in this Section.

3owner of the property (i) informing the new owner that the
4exemption will remain in place through the year of the

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

HB4951 Enrolled- 1131 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
2 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
3 terms; or
4 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
5 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
6 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
7 or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
8 and terms and the principal purpose for the
9 payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
10 or
11 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
12 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
13 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
14 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or

18 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
19 Director from making any other adjustment
20 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act

4 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable

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

9 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
10 not a related member, and

17 or
18 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
19 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
20 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
21 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
22 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
23 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
24 writing to the application or use of an
25 alternative method of apportionment under Section
26 304(f);

HB4951 Enrolled- 1135 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
2 Director from making any other adjustment
3 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act

17 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being

21 following:
22 (a) the person, during the same taxable
23 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
24 to a person that is not a related member, and
25 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
26 interest expense between the taxpayer and the

HB4951 Enrolled- 1162 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 person did not have as a principal purpose the

6 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
7 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
8 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract

12 or

12 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after

18 business income under different subsections of Section
19 304. The addition modification required by this
20 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that

10 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
11 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
12 not a related member, and

19 or
20 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
21 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
22 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
23 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
24 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
25 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
26 writing to the application or use of an

HB4951 Enrolled- 1166 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

15 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were

17 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
18 business group but for the fact that the person is
19 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
20 included in the unitary business group because he or
21 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
22 income under different subsections of Section 304. The

7 were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or
8 accrued. The preceding sentence does not apply to the
9 extent that the same dividends caused a reduction to

13 following:
14 (a) the person, during the same taxable
15 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
16 to a person that is not a related member, and
17 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
18 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
19 person did not have as a principal purpose the
20 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid

12 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
13 Director from making any other adjustment

25 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
26 foreign person who would be a member of the same

HB4951 Enrolled- 1190 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 unitary business group but for the fact that the
2 foreign person's business activity outside the United

8 from being included in the unitary business group
9 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
10 business income under different subsections of Section
11 304. The addition modification required by this
12 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
13 dividends were included in base income of the unitary

23 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
24 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
25 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of

20 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable

26 required to apportion business income under different

HB4951 Enrolled- 1208 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification

3 extent that dividends were included in base income of
4 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
5 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the

25 (a) the person, during the same taxable
26 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest

HB4951 Enrolled- 1209 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 to a person that is not a related member, and
2 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
3 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
4 person did not have as a principal purpose the
5 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
6 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
7 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
8 terms; or
9 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
10 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
11 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
12 or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
13 and terms and the principal purpose for the
14 payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
15 or

26 for any tax year beginning after the effective

HB4951 Enrolled- 1210 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
2 made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
3 Department and such regulations provide methods
4 and standards by which the Department will utilize
5 its authority under Section 404 of this Act; and
6 (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
7 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
8 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
9 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
10 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
11 foreign person who would be a member of the same
12 unitary business group but for the fact that the
13 foreign person's business activity outside the United
14 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
15 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
16 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
17 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
18 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
19 from being included in the unitary business group
20 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
21 business income under different subsections of Section
22 304. The addition modification required by this
23 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
24 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
25 group for the same taxable year and received by the
26 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary

HB4951 Enrolled- 1211 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

2 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
3 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
4 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
5 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
6 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
7 indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
8 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
9 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
10 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
11 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
12 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
13 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
14 indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
15 ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
16 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
17 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
18 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
19 copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
20 similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
21 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
22 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
23 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
24 similar types of intangible assets;
25 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
26 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs

HB4951 Enrolled- 1212 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
2 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
3 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
4 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
5 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
6 with respect to such item; or
7 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
8 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
9 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
10 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
11 following:
12 (a) the person during the same taxable
13 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
14 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
15 not a related member, and
16 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
17 intangible expense or cost between the
18 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
19 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
20 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
21 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
22 or
23 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
24 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
25 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
26 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing

HB4951 Enrolled- 1213 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
2 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
3 writing to the application or use of an
4 alternative method of apportionment under Section
5 304(f);
6 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
7 Director from making any other adjustment
8 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
9 for any tax year beginning after the effective
10 date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
11 made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
12 Department and such regulations provide methods
13 and standards by which the Department will utilize
14 its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
15 (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after
16 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of

18 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
19 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
20 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
21 business group but for the fact that the person is
22 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
23 included in the unitary business group because he or
24 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
25 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
26 addition modification required by this subparagraph

HB4951 Enrolled- 1214 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

8 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the
9 stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
10 were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or

14 203(d)(2)(D-7) or Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;
15 (D-10) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

24 deduction when computing the taxpayer's federal
25 taxable income for the taxable year and that is

14 of the United States; provided that, in the case of any

15 by 100 times the percentage bonus depreciation
16 on the property (that is, 100(bonus%)) and
17 then divided by 100 times 1 minus the

17 that person's total business activity and (ii) for
18 taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to
19 a person who would be a member of the same unitary

26 made for the same taxable year under Section

HB4951 Enrolled- 1222 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

2 (e) Gross income; adjusted gross income; taxable income.
3 (1) In general. Subject to the provisions of paragraph
4 (2) and subsection (b)(3), for purposes of this Section
5 and Section 803(e), a taxpayer's gross income, adjusted
6 gross income, or taxable income for the taxable year shall
7 mean the amount of gross income, adjusted gross income or
8 taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax
9 purposes for the taxable year under the provisions of the

12 December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from
13 taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not
14 exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
15 year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess

19 in excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as
20 defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the

2 trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
3 addition modification must be made under those
4 subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
5 taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
6 applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
7 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
8 (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the
9 Internal Revenue Code.
10 (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of
11 this subsection, the taxable income properly reportable
12 for federal income tax purposes shall mean:
13 (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
14 of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
15 by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
16 insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
17 distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
18 accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the

3 a real estate investment trust subject to the tax
4 imposed by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code,

6 (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
7 corporation which is a member of an affiliated group
8 of corporations filing a consolidated income tax
9 return for the taxable year for federal income tax
10 purposes, taxable income determined as if such
11 corporation had filed a separate return for federal
12 income tax purposes for the taxable year and each
13 preceding taxable year for which it was a member of an
14 affiliated group. For purposes of this subparagraph,
15 the taxpayer's separate taxable income shall be
16 determined as if the election provided by Section
17 243(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code had been in
18 effect for all such years;
19 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
20 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
21 organization determined in accordance with the
22 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the
23 Internal Revenue Code, but without regard to the
24 prohibition against offsetting losses from patronage
25 activities against income from nonpatronage
26 activities; except that a cooperative corporation or

HB4951 Enrolled- 1227 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 association may make an election to follow its federal
2 income tax treatment of patronage losses and
3 nonpatronage losses. In the event such election is
4 made, such losses shall be computed and carried over
5 in a manner consistent with subsection (a) of Section
6 207 of this Act and apportioned by the apportionment
7 factor reported by the cooperative on its Illinois
8 income tax return filed for the taxable year in which
9 the losses are incurred. The election shall be
10 effective for all taxable years with original returns
11 due on or after the date of the election. In addition,
12 the cooperative may file an amended return or returns,
13 as allowed under this Act, to provide that the
14 election shall be effective for losses incurred or
15 carried forward for taxable years occurring prior to
16 the date of the election. Once made, the election may
17 only be revoked upon approval of the Director. The
18 Department shall adopt rules setting forth
19 requirements for documenting the elections and any
20 resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
21 used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
22 elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
23 existing law;
24 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
25 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in
26 effect an election for the taxable year under Section

HB4951 Enrolled- 1228 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income
2 of such corporation determined in accordance with
3 Section 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except
4 that taxable income shall take into account those
5 items which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
6 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and
7 (ii) a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in
8 effect a federal election to opt out of the provisions
9 of the Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have
10 applied instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules
11 as in effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of
12 such corporation determined in accordance with the
13 federal Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1,
14 1982; and
15 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
16 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
17 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
18 income shall take into account those items which are
19 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
20 but which would be taken into account by an individual
21 in calculating his taxable income.
22 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
23 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
24 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
25 business has been classified as business income and in a
26 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then

HB4951 Enrolled- 1229 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
2 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
3 related to that asset or business that generated the
4 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
5 business income in the year of the disposition of the
6 asset or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to
7 Illinois using the greater of the apportionment fraction
8 computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act
9 for the taxable year or the average of the apportionment
10 fractions computed for the business under Section 304 of
11 this Act for the taxable year and for the 2 immediately
12 preceding taxable years.
13 (f) Valuation limitation amount.
14 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
15 referred to in subsections (a)(2)(G), (c)(2)(I) and
16 (d)(2)(E) is an amount equal to:
17 (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
18 amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
19 under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
20 Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
21 which such gain was reported for the taxable year;
22 plus
23 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
24 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
25 capital gain) for all property in respect of which

HB4951 Enrolled- 1230 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1 such gain was reported for federal income tax purposes
2 for the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for
3 the taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount
4 of such gain included in the amount determined under
5 subsection (a)(2)(F) or (c)(2)(H).
6 (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
7 (A) If the fair market value of property referred
8 to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on
9 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
10 amount for such property is the lesser of (i) the
11 excess of such fair market value over the taxpayer's
12 basis (for determining gain) for such property on that
13 date (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
14 effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
15 and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
16 respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
17 such property.
18 (B) If the fair market value of property referred
19 to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
20 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
21 amount for such property is that amount which bears
22 the same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of
23 the property for federal income tax purposes for the
24 taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
25 that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
26 property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of

HB4951 Enrolled- 1231 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b

11Municipal Code, previously established under the Industrial
12Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, previously
13established under the Economic Development Project Area Tax
14Increment Act of 1995, or previously established under the
15Economic Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, of
16each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in

20levy year, the recovered tax increment value for a non-home
21rule taxing district that first became subject to this Law for
22the 1995 levy year because a majority of its 1994 equalized

11redevelopment project area established under the Tax Increment
12Allocation Redevelopment Act in the Illinois Municipal Code,
13the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal
14Code, or the Economic Development Area Tax Increment
15Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value" means the
16amount of the current year's equalized assessed value of each
17taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property removed
18from the redevelopment project area over and above the initial
19equalized assessed value of that real property before removal

21 Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
22rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
23preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to
24one plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and
25the denominator of which is the current year's equalized

HB4951 Enrolled- 1251 -LRB103 38094 HLH 68226 b
1jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy
2year. For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
3extension for the last preceding levy year, except for school
4districts that reduced their extension for educational
5purposes pursuant to Section 18-206, the highest aggregate
6extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be
7used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. The
8denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
9tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
10limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
11after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
12limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
13or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
14case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
15the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
16proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
17specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
18the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
19In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum
20approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the
21limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that
22generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for
23that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the
24voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county
25clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for
26tax year 2012.
