1  "Sale at retail" means any transfer of the ownership of or
2  title to tangible personal property to a purchaser, for the
3  purpose of use, and not for the purpose of resale in any form
4  as tangible personal property to the extent not first
5  subjected to a use for which it was purchased, for a valuable
6  consideration: Provided that the property purchased is deemed
7  to be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite first being
8  used, to the extent to which it is resold as an ingredient of
9  an intentionally produced product or by-product of
10  manufacturing. For this purpose, slag produced as an incident
11  to manufacturing pig iron or steel and sold is considered to be
12  an intentionally produced by-product of manufacturing. "Sale
13  at retail" includes any such transfer made for resale unless
14  made in compliance with Section 2c of the Retailers'
15  Occupation Tax Act, as incorporated by reference into Section
16  12 of this Act. Transactions whereby the possession of the
17  property is transferred but the seller retains the title as

20  Illinois florist's sales transaction in which the purchase
21  order is received in Illinois by a florist and the sale is for

1  Code of like kind and character as that which is being sold
2  that exceeds $10,000. "Selling price" shall be determined
3  without any deduction on account of the cost of the property
4  sold, the cost of materials used, labor or service cost or any
5  other expense whatsoever, but does not include interest or
6  finance charges which appear as separate items on the bill of
7  sale or sales contract nor charges that are added to prices by
8  sellers on account of the seller's tax liability under the
9  Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, or on account of the seller's
10  duty to collect, from the purchaser, the tax that is imposed by
11  this Act, or, except as otherwise provided with respect to any
12  cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit, on account of the
13  seller's tax liability under any local occupation tax
14  administered by the Department, or, except as otherwise
15  provided with respect to any cigarette tax imposed by a home
16  rule unit on account of the seller's duty to collect, from the

23  Tax Act, and on account of the seller's duty to collect, from
24  the purchaser, any cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit.

1  is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing
2  the vehicle for a defined period that is longer than one year
3  and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division that: (A) is
4  a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
5  converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
6  camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
7  living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
8  configuration designed for the transportation of not less than
9  7 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle
10  weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor vehicle
11  of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of sale"
12  means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
13  lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
14  monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
15  lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
16  received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
17  that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
18  including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
19  charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
20  Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
21  from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
22  at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
23  motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
24  on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
25  the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
26  tax imposed by this Act or to pay the tax imposed by the

1  Retailers' Occupation Tax Act on those amounts. However, the
2  lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the liability
3  for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts directly to
4  the Department in the same form (Illinois Retailers'
5  Occupation Tax, and local retailers' occupation taxes, if
6  applicable) in which the retailer would have reported and paid
7  such tax if the retailer had accounted for the tax to the
8  Department. For amounts received by the lessor from the lessee
9  that are not calculated at the time the lease is executed, the
10  lessor must file the return and pay the tax to the Department
11  by the due date otherwise required by this Act for returns
12  other than transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled
13  under this Act to a discount for collecting and remitting the
14  tax imposed under this Act to the Department with respect to
15  the sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to
16  the discount provided in this Act shall be transferred to the
17  lessor with respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any
18  amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased
19  vehicle that is not calculated at the time the lease is
20  executed; provided that the discount is only allowed if the
21  return is timely filed and for amounts timely paid. The
22  "selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or after
23  January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined period
24  of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the value of or
25  credit given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by
26  the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the value of or credit

1  given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by the
2  lessee, regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is
3  assigned by the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor
4  vehicle that is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined
5  period of longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of
6  the delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any
7  lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation
8  Tax liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease
9  may not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax
10  the lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for
11  any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
12  the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
13  calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
14  price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
15  calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
16  in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
17  Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
18  all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
19  by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
20  Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
21  vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
22  term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
23  with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
24  lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
25  defined period.
26  The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally

1  construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
2  vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
3  agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
4  agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
5  which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
6  retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
7  occasional sale.
8  "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
9  "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
10  association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
11  private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
12  executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed
13  by order of any court.
14  "Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the
15  business of making sales at retail as defined in this Section.
16  A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
17  (or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
18  property at retail is a retailer hereunder with respect to
19  such sales (and not primarily in a service occupation)
20  notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
21  such tangible personal property on special order for the
22  purchaser and in such a way as to render the property of value
23  only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal property so
24  produced on special order serves substantially the same
25  function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
26  property that are sold at retail.

1  A person whose activities are organized and conducted
2  primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
3  engages in selling tangible personal property at retail
4  (whether to the public or merely to members and their guests)
5  is a retailer with respect to such transactions, excepting
6  only a person organized and operated exclusively for
7  charitable, religious or educational purposes either (1), to
8  the extent of sales by such person to its members, students,
9  patients or inmates of tangible personal property to be used
10  primarily for the purposes of such person, or (2), to the
11  extent of sales by such person of tangible personal property
12  which is not sold or offered for sale by persons organized for
13  profit. The selling of school books and school supplies by
14  schools at retail to students is not "primarily for the
15  purposes of" the school which does such selling. This
16  paragraph does not apply to nor subject to taxation occasional
17  dinners, social or similar activities of a person organized
18  and operated exclusively for charitable, religious or
19  educational purposes, whether or not such activities are open
20  to the public.
21  A person who is the recipient of a grant or contract under
22  Title VII of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (P.L. 92-258) and
23  serves meals to participants in the federal Nutrition Program
24  for the Elderly in return for contributions established in

1  retailer under this Act with respect to such transactions.
2  Persons who engage in the business of transferring
3  tangible personal property upon the redemption of trading
4  stamps are retailers hereunder when engaged in such business.
5  The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
6  property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
7  being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
8  such tangible personal property at retail or a sale through a
9  bulk vending machine does not make such person a retailer
10  hereunder. However, any person who is engaged in a business
11  which is not subject to the tax imposed by the Retailers'
12  Occupation Tax Act because of involving the sale of or a
13  contract to sell real estate or a construction contract to
14  improve real estate, but who, in the course of conducting such
15  business, transfers tangible personal property to users or
16  consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and
17  which does not become real estate, under any provision of a
18  construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
19  agreement entered into with some other person arising out of
20  or because of such nontaxable business, is a retailer to the
21  extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
22  transferred. If, in such transaction, a separate charge is
23  made for the tangible personal property so transferred, the
24  value of such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the
25  amount so separately charged, but not less than the cost of
26  such property to the transferor; if no separate charge is

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

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

1  any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
2  the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
3  calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
4  price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
5  calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
6  in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
7  Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
8  all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
9  by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
10  Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
11  vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
12  term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
13  with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
14  lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
15  defined period.
16  The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
17  construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
18  vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
19  agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
20  agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
21  which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
22  retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
23  occasional sale.
24  "Gross receipts" from the sales of tangible personal
25  property at retail means the total selling price or the amount
26  of such sales, as hereinbefore defined. In the case of charge

3  other consideration derived by a seller from the sale,

5  owned subsidiary will not be deemed payments prior to the time
6  the purchaser makes payment on such accounts.
7  "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
8  "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,

13  The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
14  property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
15  being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
16  such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
17  bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
18  business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
19  within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is
20  engaged in a business which is not subject to the tax imposed
21  by this Act because of involving the sale of or a contract to
22  sell real estate or a construction contract to improve real
23  estate or a construction contract to engineer, install, and
24  maintain an integrated system of products, but who, in the
25  course of conducting such business, transfers tangible

11  this Act, shall be the amount so separately charged, but not
12  less than the cost of such property to the transferor; if no
13  separate charge is made, the value of such property, for the

9  Within 14 days after July 1, 2000 (the effective date of
10  Public Act 91-872) this amendatory Act of the 91st General
11  Assembly, each retailer of motor fuel and gasohol shall cause
12  the following notice to be posted in a prominently visible
13  place on each retail dispensing device that is used to
14  dispense motor fuel or gasohol in the State of Illinois: "As of
15  July 1, 2000, the State of Illinois has eliminated the State's
16  share of sales tax on motor fuel and gasohol through December
17  31, 2000. The price on this pump should reflect the
18  elimination of the tax." The notice shall be printed in bold
19  print on a sign that is no smaller than 4 inches by 8 inches.
20  The sign shall be clearly visible to customers. Any retailer
21  who fails to post or maintain a required sign through December
