12Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
13either the selling price or the fair market value, if any, of
14the tangible personal property. In all cases where property
15functionally used or consumed is the same as the property that
16was purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the selling
17price of the property. In all cases where property functionally
18used or consumed is a by-product or waste product that has been

21value, if any, of the specific property so used in this State

HB4970- 2 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1or on the selling price of the property purchased at retail.
2For purposes of this Section "fair market value" means the
3price at which property would change hands between a willing
4buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion
5to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the
6relevant facts. The fair market value shall be established by
7Illinois sales by the taxpayer of the same property as that
8functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such sales by
9the taxpayer, then comparable sales or purchases of property of
10like kind and character in Illinois.

21proceeds of sales made on or after July 1, 2003 and on or
22before July 1, 2017, and (iii) 100% of the proceeds of sales
23made thereafter. If, at any time, however, the tax under this
24Act on sales of gasohol is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then
25the tax imposed by this Act applies to 100% of the proceeds of
26sales of gasohol made during that time.

3average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
4the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
5Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
6preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return

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

20after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
21payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
22actual liability for the month or 27.5% 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, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
26payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's

HB4970- 13 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
2liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
3the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
4or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
5begins on or after 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. If the month during which
9such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
101989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
11amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
12the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
13calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
14actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
15amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
16against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
17that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
18requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
19Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
20monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
21complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
22liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
23$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
24the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
25preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
26$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a

HB4970- 14 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
2which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
3monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
4will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
5taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
6taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
7applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
8payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
9average monthly liability to the Department 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 liability
13to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
144 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
15$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
16substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
17which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
18monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
19will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
20taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
21taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
22taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
23seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
24quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
25amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
26liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the

HB4970- 15 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
2payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
3taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
4Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
5provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
6rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
7amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
8on other than a calendar monthly basis.
9 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
10the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
11Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
12Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
13the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
14no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
15memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
16in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
17taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
18similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
19Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
20in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
21prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
22payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
23after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
24unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
25the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
26liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the

HB4970- 16 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
2the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
3accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
4the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
5all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
6taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
7be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
8credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
9liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
10 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
11return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
12the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
13authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
14with the return for January, February, and March of a given
15year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
16April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such

23liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
24may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
25the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
26following year.

1 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
2substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
3returns.
4 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
5the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
6case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
7which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
8such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
9Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
10business.
11 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
12aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
13an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
14tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
15upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
16separate return for each such item of tangible personal
17property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
18transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
19vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
20watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
21watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
22of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
23vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
24watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
25a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
26Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the

HB4970- 18 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
2that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
3invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
4this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
5watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
6and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
7with an inboard motor.
8 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
9vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
10agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
11Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
12Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
13and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
14including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
15property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
16traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
17which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
18of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
19trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
20tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
21amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
22such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
23due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
24fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
25identification of the property sold; such other information as
26is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and

HB4970- 19 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1such other information as the Department may reasonably
2require.
3 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
4and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
5name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
6price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
7traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
8for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
9extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
10the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
11deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
12the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
13transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
14the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
15such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
16claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
17sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
18information as the Department may reasonably require.
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

HB4970- 20 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 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

HB4970- 21 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
2tax 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 2.1% or 1.75% discount
14provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
15the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
16same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
17if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
18 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
19selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
20the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
21property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
22the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
23purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
24his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
25purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
26refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which

HB4970- 22 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
2Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
3to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
4such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
5amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
6deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
7purchaser.
8 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
9include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
10covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
11personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
12but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
13from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
14remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
15return.
16 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
17Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
18return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
19returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
20Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
21Acts on the one form.
22 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
23with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
24such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
25return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
26separate returns for each such registered business.

5 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
6and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
7of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
8the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
9amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
10when he is required to file his return for the period during
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 discount
21allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are
22filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
23disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
24registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
25only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of

HB4970- 35 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1registration has become final. A retailer need not remit that
2part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is
3required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the
4Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the
5same property.
6 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
7conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
8wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
9extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
10filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
11vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
12to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
13each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
14the selling price actually received during such tax return
15period.
16 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
17twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
18a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
19filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
20such information as the Department may reasonably require. On
21and after January 1, 2018, except for returns for motor
22vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
23to be registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
24retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,
25all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
26filed electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do

HB4970- 36 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in
2filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the
3electronic filing requirement.
4 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
5quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
6quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
7calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
8taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
9of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
10the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
11 1. The name of the seller;
12 2. The address of the principal place of business from
13 which he engages in the business of selling tangible
14 personal property at retail in this State;
15 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
16 during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
17 personal property by him during such preceding calendar
18 month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
19 less all deductions allowed by law;
20 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
21 Act;
22 5. The amount of tax due;
23 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
24 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
25 may require.
26 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after

HB4970- 37 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
2the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
3due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
4 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
5monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
6payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
7funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
8an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
9all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
10funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
11an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
12all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
13funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
14an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
15payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
16funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
17sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
18other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
19by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
20The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
21taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
22State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
23Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
24divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
25a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
26Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make

HB4970- 38 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
2funds transfer.
3 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
4Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
5by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
6payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
7for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
8 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
9funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
10with the permission of the Department.
11 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
12transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
13payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
14in the manner authorized by the Department.
15 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
16effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
17requirements of this Section.
18 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
19tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
20Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service
21Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
22calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
23each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
24month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
25make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
2622nd and last day of the month during which such liability is

HB4970- 39 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
2average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
3the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
4Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
5preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
6with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
7next following the month during which such tax liability is
8incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
9the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
10liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
11liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
12payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
13actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
14Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
15of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
16calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
17the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
18month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
19after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
20payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
21actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
22liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
23the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
24or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
25payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
26actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's

HB4970- 40 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
2the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
3or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
4begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
5amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
6the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
7calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
8such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
91989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
10amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
11the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
12calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
13actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
14amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
15against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
16that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
17requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
18Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
19monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
20complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
21liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
22$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
23the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
24preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
25$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
26substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred

HB4970- 41 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
2monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
3will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
4taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
5taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
6applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
7payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
8average monthly liability to the Department during the
9preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
10highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
11than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
12to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
134 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
14$20,000. 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 $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
19taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
20taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
21taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
22seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
23quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
24amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
25liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
26minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly

HB4970- 42 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
2taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
3Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
4provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
5rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
6amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
7on other than a calendar monthly basis.
8 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
9the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
10Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
11Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
12the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
13no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
14memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
15in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
16taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
17similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
18Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
19in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
20prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
21payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
22after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
23unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
24the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
25liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
26Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,

HB4970- 43 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
2accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
3the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
4all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
5taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
6be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
7credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
8liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
9 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
10return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
11the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
12authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
13with the return for January, February, and March of a given
14year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
15April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
16year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
17year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
18for October, November and December of a given year being due by
19January 20 of the following year.
20 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
21quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
22liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
23may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
24the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
25following year.
26 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and

HB4970- 44 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
2returns.
3 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
4the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
5case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
6which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
7such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
8Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
9business.
10 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
11aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
12an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
13tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
14upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
15separate return for each such item of tangible personal
16property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
17transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
18vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
19watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
20watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
21of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
22vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
23watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
24a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
25Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
26aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in

HB4970- 45 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
2invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
3this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
4watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
5and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
6with an inboard motor.
7 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
8vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
9agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
10Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
11Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
12and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
13including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
14property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
15traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
16which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
17of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
18trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
19tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
20amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
21such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
22due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
23fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
24identification of the property sold; such other information as
25is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
26such other information as the Department may reasonably

HB4970- 46 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1require.
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 price;
11the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
12transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
13the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
14such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
15claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
16sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
17information as the Department may reasonably require.
18 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
19than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
20being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
21than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
22return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
23that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
24Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
25officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
26titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)

HB4970- 47 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
2that this procedure will expedite the processing of
3applications for title or registration.
4 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
5shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
6satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
7the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
8Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
9(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
10that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
11may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
12whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
13that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
14support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
15certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
16tangible personal property.
17 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
18Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
19retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
20evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
21is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
22paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
23Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
24mandate of this paragraph.
25 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
26wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of

HB4970- 48 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
2retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
3paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
4of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
5being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
6the information required by the transaction reporting return
7and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
8the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
9determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
10and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
11credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
12with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
13provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
14the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
15same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
16if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
17 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
18selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
19the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
20property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
21the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
22purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
23his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
24purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
25refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
26such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the

HB4970- 49 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
2to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
3such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
4amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
5deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
6purchaser.
7 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
8include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
9covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
10personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
11but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
12from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
13remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
14return.
15 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
16Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
17return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
18returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
19Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
20Acts on the one form.
21 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
22with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
23such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
24return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
25separate returns for each such registered business.
26 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

HB4970- 50 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special

8drugs, medical appliances, products classified as Class III
9medical devices by the United States Food and Drug
10Administration that are used for cancer treatment pursuant to a
11prescription, as well as any accessories and components related
12to those devices, and insulin, urine testing materials,
13syringes and needles used by diabetics.
14 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
15pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the
16net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
17general rate on the selling price of tangible personal property
18which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer
19and which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
20government.
21 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
22pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
23fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue realized for
24the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling
25price of tangible personal property, other than tangible
26personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail

HB4970- 51 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency
2of this State's government.
3 Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
4pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the
5net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
6rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol. Beginning
7September 1, 2010, each month the Department shall pay into the
8State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the net revenue
9realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the
10selling price of sales tax holiday items.
11 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
12pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue

9requirements of this Section.
10 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
11return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
12the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
13authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
14with the return for January, February and March of a given year
15being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
16May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;

21 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
22or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax
23liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
24may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
25the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the

HB4970- 72 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
2substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
3returns.
4 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
5the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the

10discontinuing such business.
11 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
12selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
13thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
14selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
15also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
16purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
17refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
18the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
19any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
20occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
21to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
22provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall
23previously have been remitted to the Department by such
24serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
25remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall be
26entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to

3the total tax upon the selling price of tangible personal
4property purchased for use by him as an incident to a sale of
5service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of such tax
6to the Department when filing such return.

8Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
9return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
10returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
11Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
12Acts on the one form.
13 Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
14with the Department under separate registration hereunder,
15such serviceman shall not file each return that is due as a
16single return covering all such registered businesses, but
17shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

26information by personal delivery or by mail. For purposes of

HB4970- 155 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1this paragraph, the term "electronic means" includes, but is
2not limited to, the use of a secure Internet website, e-mail,
3or facsimile.
4 If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable or
5creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less than
650 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents or more.
7 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
8monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
9payments required by rules of the Department by electronic

20sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
21other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
22by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
23The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of
24the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
25State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
26Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year

HB4970- 156 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
2a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
3Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
4all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
5funds transfer.
6 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
7Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
8by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
9payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
10for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
11 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
12funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
13with the permission of the Department.
14 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
15transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
16payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
17in the manner authorized by the Department.
18 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
19effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
20requirements of this Section.
21 Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any
22return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
23is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest
24whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a
25dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest
26whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is

HB4970- 157 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1less than 50 cents.
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 year
7being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
8May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
9with the return for July, August and September of a given year
10being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
11October, November and December of a given year being due by
12January 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 with 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 monthly
21returns.
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

HB4970- 158 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
2business.
3 Where the same person has more than one business registered
4with the Department under separate registrations under this
5Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
6single return covering all such registered businesses, but
7shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
8 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
9aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
10an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
11tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
12upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
13separate return for each such item of tangible personal
14property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
15transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
16vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
17watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
18watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
19purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
20motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
21watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
22a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
23Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
24watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
25transaction to the Department on the same uniform
26invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of

HB4970- 159 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
2watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
3and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
4with an inboard motor.
5 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
6aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
7an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
8liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
9transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
10to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
11quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
12to file returns on an annual basis.
13 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
14vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
15agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
16Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle
17Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
18and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
19including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
20property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
21traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
22which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
23of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
24trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
25tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
26amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on

HB4970- 160 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
2due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
3fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
4identification of the property sold; such other information as
5is required in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and
6such other information as the Department may reasonably
7require.
8 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
9or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
10name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
11price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
12traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
13for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
14extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
15the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
16deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
17the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
18transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
19the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
20such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
21claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
22sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
23information as the Department may reasonably require.
24 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
25than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
26being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner

HB4970- 161 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
2return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
3Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
4the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
5tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
6titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
7agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
8expedite the processing of applications for title or
9registration.
10 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
11shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
12satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
13the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
14Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
15receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
16satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
17purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
18with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
19property that is involved (if titling or registration is
20required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
21Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
22to such tangible personal property.
23 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
24Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
25retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
26evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration

HB4970- 162 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
2paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
3Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
4mandate of this paragraph.
5 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
6wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
7the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
8retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
9paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
10of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
11being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
12the information required by the transaction reporting return
13and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
14the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
15determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
16and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
17credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
18with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
19provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
20the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
21same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
22if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
23 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
24period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
25returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
26subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case

HB4970- 163 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
2receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
3return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
4with respect to such receipts.
5 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
6behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
7vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
8accredited agent of such corporation.
9 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
10filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
11signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
12the limited liability company.
13 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
14return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
15return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
16Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
17on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
18whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
19retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
20preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
21data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
22to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
23which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
24retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
25transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
26shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when

HB4970- 164 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
2under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
3in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow
4the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is
5revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
6Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
7registration has become final.
8 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
9tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
10Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
11Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
12remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
13or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
14shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
15day of the month next following the month during which such tax
16liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
17on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
18during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
191, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
20Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
21Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
22liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
23with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
24preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
25with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
26next following the month during which such tax liability is

HB4970- 165 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
2the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
3liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
4liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
5payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
7Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
8of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
9calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
10the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
11month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
12after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
13payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
14actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
15liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
16the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
17or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
18payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
19actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
20liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
21the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
22or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
23begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
24amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
25the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
26calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which

HB4970- 166 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
21989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
3amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
4the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
5calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
7amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
8against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
9that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
10requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
11Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
12of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
13shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
14to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
15quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
16month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
17taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
18computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
19calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
20taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
21the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
22to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
23reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
24threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
25Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
26and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of

HB4970- 167 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
2taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
3more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
4until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
5Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
6(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
7lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
8average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
9each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
10quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
11show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
12business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
13that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
14foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
15above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
16change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
17shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
18that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
19long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
20the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
21taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
22difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
23amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
24paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
25payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
26minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.

HB4970- 168 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
2govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
3payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
4monthly basis.
5 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
62001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
7quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
8is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
9prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
10excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
11calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
12required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
13Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
14month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
15during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
16September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
17each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
18taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
19during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
20January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
2122.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
22of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
23preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
24liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
25payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
26actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's

HB4970- 169 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
2The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
3against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
4that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
5may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
6quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
7paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
8prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
9calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
10monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
11required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
12interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
13previously made payments for that month in excess of the
14minimum payments previously due.
15 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
161, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
17make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
18who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
19prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
20excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
21calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
22required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
23Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
24month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
25shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
26liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for

HB4970- 170 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
2the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
3final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
4filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
5Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
6monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
7shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
8collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
9(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
10lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
11average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
12each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
13quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
14payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
15taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
16difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
17payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
18previously due.
19 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
20taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
21Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
22shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
23requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
24memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
25credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
26the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax

HB4970- 171 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
2in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
3prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the

1funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
2an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
3payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
4funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
5sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
6other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
7by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
8The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of
9the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
10State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
11Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
12divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has

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

HB4970- 194 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
2basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
3of the following year.
4 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
5substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
6returns.
7 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
8the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
9case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
10which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
11such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
12Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
13business.
14 Where the same person has more than one business registered
15with the Department under separate registrations under this
16Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
17single return covering all such registered businesses, but
18shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
19 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
20aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
21an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
22tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
23upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
24separate return for each such item of tangible personal
25property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
26transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor

HB4970- 195 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
2watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
3watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
4purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
5motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
6watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
7a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
8Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
9watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
10transaction to the Department on the same uniform
11invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
12this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
13watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
14and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
15with an inboard motor.
16 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
17aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
18an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
19liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
20transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
21to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
22quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
23to file returns on an annual basis.
24 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
25vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
26agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform

HB4970- 196 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle
2Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
3and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
4including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
5property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
6traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
7which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
8of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
9trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
10tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
11amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
12such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
13due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
14fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
15identification of the property sold; such other information as
16is required in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and
17such other information as the Department may reasonably
18require.
19 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
20or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
21name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
22price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
23traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
24for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
25extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
26the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after

HB4970- 197 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
2the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
3transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
4the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
5such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
6claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
7sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
8information as the Department may reasonably require.
9 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
10than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
11being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
12than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
13return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
14Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
15the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
16tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
17titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
18agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
19expedite the processing of applications for title or
20registration.
21 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
22shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
23satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
24the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
25Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
26receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is

HB4970- 198 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
2purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
3with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
4property that is involved (if titling or registration is
5required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
6Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
7to such tangible personal property.
8 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
9Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
10retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
11evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
12is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
13paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
14Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
15mandate of this paragraph.
16 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
17wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
18the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
19retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
20paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
21of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
22being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
23the information required by the transaction reporting return
24and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
25the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
26determination, in which event the transaction reporting return

HB4970- 199 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
2credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
3with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
4provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
5the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
6same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
7if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
8 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
9period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
10returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
11subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
12may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
13receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
14return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
15with respect to such receipts.
16 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
17behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
18vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
19accredited agent of such corporation.
20 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
21filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
22signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
23the limited liability company.
24 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
25return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
26return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this

HB4970- 200 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
2on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
3whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
4retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
5preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
6data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
7to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
8which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
9retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
10transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
11shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
12such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
13under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
14in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow
15the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is
16revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
17Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
18registration has become final.
19 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
20tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
21Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
22Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
23remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
24or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
25shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
26day of the month next following the month during which such tax

HB4970- 201 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
2on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
3during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
41, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
5Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
6Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
7liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
8with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
9preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
10with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
11next following the month during which such tax liability is
12incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
13the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
14liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
15liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
16payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
17actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
18Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
19of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
20calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
21the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
22month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
23after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
24payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
25actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
26liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If

HB4970- 202 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
2or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
3payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
4actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
5liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
6the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
7or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
8begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
9amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
10the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
11calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
12such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
131989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
14amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
15the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
16calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
17actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
18amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
19against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
20that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
21requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
22Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
23of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
24shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
25to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
26quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the

HB4970- 203 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
2taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
3computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
4calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
5taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
6the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
7to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
8reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
9threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
10Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
11and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
12the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
13taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
14more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
15until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
16Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
17(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
18lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
19average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
20each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
21quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
22show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
23business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
24that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
25foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
26above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a

HB4970- 204 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
2shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
3that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
4long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
5the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
6taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
7difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
8amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
9paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
10payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
11minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
12The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
13govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
14payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
15monthly basis.
16 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
172001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
18quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
19is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
20prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
21excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
22calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
23required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
24Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
25month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
26during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to

HB4970- 205 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
1September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
2each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
3taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
4during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
5January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
622.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
7of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
8preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
9liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
10payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
11actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
12liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
13The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
14against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
15that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
16may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
17quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
18paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
19prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
20calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
21monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
22required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
23interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
24previously made payments for that month in excess of the

26 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October

HB4970- 206 -LRB100 17726 AXK 32899 b
11, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
2make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
3who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit

6calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
7required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the

10shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
11liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
12the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
13the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
14final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
15filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
16Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
17monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph

22average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
23each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
24quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
25payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
26taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such

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

22business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
23exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of
