11which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
12January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
13per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
14reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
15tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
16the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. In the
17case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
18by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
19discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
20of when such retailer files his periodic return. The Department
21may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
22registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
23only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
24registration has become final. A retailer need not remit that
25part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is

HB4378- 18 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the
2Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the
3same property.
4 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
5conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
6wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
7extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
8filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
9vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
10to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
11each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
12the selling price actually received during such tax return
13period.
14 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
15twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
16a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
17filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
18such information as the Department may reasonably require.
19 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
20quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
21quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
22calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
23taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
24of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
25the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
26 1. The name of the seller;

HB4378- 19 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1 2. The address of the principal place of business from
2 which he engages in the business of selling tangible
3 personal property at retail in this State;
4 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
5 during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
6 personal property by him during such preceding calendar
7 month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
8 less all deductions allowed by law;
9 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
10 Act;
11 5. The amount of tax due;
12 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
13 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
14 may require.
15 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
16the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
17the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
18due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
19 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
20monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
21payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
22funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
23an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
24all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
25funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
26an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make

HB4378- 20 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
2funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
3an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
4payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
5funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
6sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
7other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
8by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
9The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
10taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
11State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
12Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
13divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
14a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
15Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
16all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
17funds transfer.
18 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
19Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
20by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
21payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
22for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
23 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
24funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
25with the permission of the Department.
26 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds

HB4378- 21 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
2payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
3in the manner authorized by the Department.
4 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
5effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
6requirements of this Section.
7 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
8tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
9Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service
10Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
11calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
12each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
13month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
14make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
1522nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
16incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
17average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
18the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
19Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
20preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
21with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
22next following the month during which such tax liability is
23incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
24the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
25liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
26liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each

HB4378- 22 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
2actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
3Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
4of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
5calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
6the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
7month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
8after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
9payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
10actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
11liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
12the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
13or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
14payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
15actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
16liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
17the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
18or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
19begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
20amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
21the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
22calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
23such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
241989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
25amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
26the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same

HB4378- 23 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
2actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
3amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
4against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
5that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
6requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
7Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
8monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
9complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
10liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
11$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
12the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
13preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
14$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
15substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
16which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
17monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
18will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
19taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
20taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
21applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
22payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
23average monthly liability to the Department during the
24preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
25highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
26than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability

HB4378- 24 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
24 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
3$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
4substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
5which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
6monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
7will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
8taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
9taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
10taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
11seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
12quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
13amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
14liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
15minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
16payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
17taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
18Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
19provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
20rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
21amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
22on other than a calendar monthly basis.
23 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
24the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
25Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
26Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,

HB4378- 25 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
2no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
3memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
4in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
5taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
6similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
7Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
8in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
9prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
10payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
11after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
12unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
13the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
14liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
15Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
16the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
17accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
18the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
19all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
20taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
21be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
22credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
23liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
24 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
25return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
26the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may

HB4378- 26 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
2with the return for January, February, and March of a given
3year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
4April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
5year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
6year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
7for October, November and December of a given year being due by
8January 20 of the following year.
9 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
10quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
11liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
12may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
13the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
14following year.
15 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
16substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
17returns.
18 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
19the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
20case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
21which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
22such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
23Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
24business.
25 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
26aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with

HB4378- 27 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
2tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
3upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
4separate return for each such item of tangible personal
5property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
6transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
7vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
8watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
9watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
10of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
11vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
12watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
13a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
14Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
15aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
16that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
17invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
18this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
19watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
20and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
21with an inboard motor.
22 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
23vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
24agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
25Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
26Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name

HB4378- 28 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
2including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
3property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
4traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
5which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
6of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
7trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
8tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
9amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
10such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
11due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
12fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
13identification of the property sold; such other information as
14is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
15such other information as the Department may reasonably
16require.
17 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
18and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
19name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
20price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
21traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
22for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
23extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
24the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
25deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
26the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such

HB4378- 29 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
2the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
3such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
4claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
5sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
6information as the Department may reasonably require.
7 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
8than 20 days after the date 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 tax
12that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
13Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
14officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
15titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
16if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
17that this procedure will expedite the processing of
18applications for title or registration.
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 tax receipt
24(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
25that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
26may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with

HB4378- 30 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
2that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
3support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
4certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
5tangible 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 of
16tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
17retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
18paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
19of 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

HB4378- 31 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
2provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
3the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
4same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
5if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
6 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
7selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
8the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
9property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
10the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
11purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
12his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
13purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
14refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
15such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
16Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
17to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
18such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
19amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
20deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
21purchaser.
22 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
23include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
24covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
25personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
26but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected

HB4378- 32 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
2remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
3return.
4 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
5Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
6return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
7returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
8Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
9Acts on the one form.
10 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
11with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
12such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
13return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
14separate returns for each such registered business.
15 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
16pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
17fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net

12pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to
13an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the

7with the return for January, February and March of a given year
8being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
9May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
10with the return for July, August and September of a given year
11being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
12October, November and December of a given year being due by
13January 20 of the following year.
14 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
15or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax
16liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department

20 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
21substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
22returns.
23 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
24the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the

9purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
10refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
11the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
12any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
13occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
14to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,

2return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
3returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
4Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
5Acts on the one form.
6 Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
7with the Department under separate registration hereunder,

11with the return for January, February and March of a given year
12being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
13May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
14with the return for July, August and September of a given year
15being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
16October, November and December of a given year being due by
17January 20 of the following year.
18 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
19quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
20liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
21Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
22basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
23of the following year.
24 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
25substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
26returns.

HB4378- 103 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
2the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
3case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
4which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
5such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
6Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
7business.
8 Where the same person has more than one business registered
9with the Department under separate registrations under this
10Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
11single return covering all such registered businesses, but
12shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
13 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
14aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
15an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
16tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
17upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
18separate return for each such item of tangible personal
19property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
20transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
21vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
22watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
23watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
24purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
25motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
26watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as

HB4378- 104 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
2Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
3watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
4transaction to the Department on the same uniform
5invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
6this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
7watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
8and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
9with an inboard motor.
10 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
11aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
12an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
13liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
14transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
15to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
16quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
17to file returns on an annual basis.
18 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
19vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
20agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
21Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle
22Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
23and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
24including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
25property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
26traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to

HB4378- 105 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
2of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
3trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
4tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
5amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
6such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
7due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
8fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
9identification of the property sold; such other information as
10is required in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and
11such other information as the Department may reasonably
12require.
13 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
14or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
15name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
16price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
17traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
18for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
19extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
20the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
21deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
22the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
23transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
24the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
25such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
26claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a

HB4378- 106 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
2information as the Department may reasonably require.
3 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
4than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
5being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
6than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
7return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
8Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
9the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
10tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
11titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
12agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
13expedite the processing of applications for title or
14registration.
15 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
16shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
17satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
18the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
19Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
20receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
21satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
22purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
23with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
24property that is involved (if titling or registration is
25required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
26Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration

HB4378- 107 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1to such tangible personal property.
2 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
3Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
4retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
5evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
6is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
7paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
8Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
9mandate of this paragraph.
10 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
11wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
12the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
13retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
14paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
15of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
16being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
17the information required by the transaction reporting return
18and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
19the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
20determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
21and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
22credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
23with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
24provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
25the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
26same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted

HB4378- 108 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
2 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
3period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
4returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
5subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
6may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
7receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
8return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
9with respect to such receipts.
10 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
11behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
12vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
13accredited agent of such corporation.
14 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
15filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
16signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
17the limited liability company.
18 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
19return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
20return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
21Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
22on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
23whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
24retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
25preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
26data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant

HB4378- 109 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
2which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
3retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
4transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
5shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
6such retailer files his periodic return. The Department may
7disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
8registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
9only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
10registration has become final.
11 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
12tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
13Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
14Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
15remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
16or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
17shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
18day of the month next following the month during which such tax
19liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
20on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
21during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
221, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
23Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
24Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
25liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
26with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the

HB4378- 110 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
2with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
3next following the month during which such tax liability is
4incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
5the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
6liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
7liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
8payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
9actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
10Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
11of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
12calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
13the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
14month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
15after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
16payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
17actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
18liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
19the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
20or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
21payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
22actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
23liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
24the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
25or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
26begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an

HB4378- 111 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
2the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
3calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
4such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
51989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
6amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
7the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
8calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
9actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
10amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
11against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
12that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
13requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
14Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
15of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
16shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
17to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
18quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
19month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
20taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
21computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
22calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
23taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
24the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
25to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
26reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000

HB4378- 112 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
2Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
3and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
4the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
5taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
6more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
7until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
8Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
9(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
10lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
11average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
12each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
13quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
14show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
15business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
16that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
17foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
18above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
19change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
20shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
21that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
22long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
23the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
24taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
25difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
26amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely

HB4378- 113 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
2payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
3minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
4The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
5govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
6payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
7monthly basis.
8 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
92001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
10quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
11is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
12prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
13excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
14calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
15required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
16Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
17month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
18during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to the
19effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment
20shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's
21actual liability under Section 2d. If the month during which
22such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
231986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
24taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
25taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
26preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax

HB4378- 114 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
2payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
3actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
4liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
5The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
6against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
7that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
8may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
9quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
10paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
11prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
12calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
13monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
14required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
15interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
16previously made payments for that month in excess of the
17minimum payments previously due.
18 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
191, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
20make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
21who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
22prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
23excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
24calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
25required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
26Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the

HB4378- 115 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
2shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
3liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
4the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
5the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
6final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
7filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
8Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
9monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
10shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
11collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
12(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
13lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
14average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
15each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
16quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
17payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
18taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
19difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
20payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
21previously due.
22 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
23taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
24Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
25shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
26requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit

HB4378- 116 -LRB099 15640 HLH 39933 b
1memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
2credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
3the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
4Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
5in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
6prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
7taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
8subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
9the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
10Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
11regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
12subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
13taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
14and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
15of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
16due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
17interest on such difference.
18 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
19Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
20to the Department under this Act for the month which the
21taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
22taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
23 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
24pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the
25State treasury which is hereby created, the net revenue
26realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of

1selling price of motor fuel and gasohol. Beginning September 1,
22010, each month the Department shall pay into the Local
3Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized for the
4preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of
5sales tax holiday items.

3Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
4the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
5payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
6impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
7significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
8exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
9that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
10who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
11business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
12exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of
13loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall notify
