The Department may disallow the discount 7 for retailers whose certificate of registration is revoked at 8 the time the return is filed, but only if the Department's 9 decision to revoke the certificate of registration has become 10 final. A retailer need not remit that part of any tax collected 11 by him to the extent that he is required to remit and does 12 remit the tax imposed by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, 13 with respect to the sale of the same property. 14 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a 15 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale 16 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is 17 extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is 18 filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor 19 vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required 20 to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for 21 each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of 22 the selling price actually received during such tax return 23 period. 24 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the 25 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file 26 a return for the preceding calendar month.

The transaction reporting 16 return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax 17 that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the 18 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State 19 officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be 20 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required) 21 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine 22 that this procedure will expedite the processing of 23 applications for title or registration. 24 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer 25 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit 26 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is HB5447 - 42 - LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b HB5447- 43 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b HB5447 - 43 - LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b HB5447 - 43 - LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b 1 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the 2 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt 3 (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied 4 that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser 5 may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with 6 whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property 7 that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in 8 support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois 9 certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such 10 tangible personal property. 11 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this 12 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the 13 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other 14 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration 15 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has 16 paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The 17 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the 18 mandate of this paragraph. 19 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer 20 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment 21 of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the 22 retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not 23 paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact 24 of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department 25 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit 26 the information required by the transaction reporting return HB5447 - 43 - LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b HB5447- 44 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b HB5447 - 44 - LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b HB5447 - 44 - LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b 1 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to 2 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption 3 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return 4 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be 5 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account 6 with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount 7 provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays 8 the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the 9 same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted 10 if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer. 11 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the 12 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and 13 the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal 14 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to 15 the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the 16 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When 17 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax 18 to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax 19 so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax 20 which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the 21 Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax 22 to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by 23 such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the 24 amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no 25 deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the 26 purchaser.

This exception for aviation fuel 15 only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 16 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State. 17 For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each 18 month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program 19 Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month 20 from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of aviation 21 fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be 22 required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation 23 fuel under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the 24 Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund.

If, in any 7 month, the tax on sales tax holiday items, as defined in 8 Section 3-6, is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the 9 Department shall pay 100% of the net revenue realized for that 10 month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of sales tax 11 holiday items into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund. 12 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall 13 pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue 14 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate 15 on the selling price of tangible personal property which is 16 purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and which 17 is titled or registered by an agency of this State's 18 government. 19 Beginning October 1, 2009, each month the Department shall 20 pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to 21 an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the 22 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of 23 candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had 24 been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that 25 are now taxed at 6.25%. 26 Beginning July 1, 2011, each month the Department shall HB5447 - 47 - LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b HB5447- 48 -LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b HB5447 - 48 - LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b HB5447 - 48 - LRB103 33556 HLH 63368 b 1 pay into the Clean Air Act Permit Fund 80% of the net revenue 2 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate 3 on the selling price of sorbents used in Illinois in the 4 process of sorbent injection as used to comply with the 5 Environmental Protection Act or the federal Clean Air Act, but 6 the total payment into the Clean Air Act Permit Fund under this 7 Act and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed 8 $2,000,000 in any fiscal year. 9 Beginning July 1, 2013, each month the Department shall 10 pay into the Underground Storage Tank Fund from the proceeds 11 collected under this Act, the Service Use Tax Act, the Service 12 Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act an 13 amount equal to the average monthly deficit in the Underground 14 Storage Tank Fund during the prior year, as certified annually 15 by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, but the total 16 payment into the Underground Storage Tank Fund under this Act, 17 the Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and 18 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed $18,000,000 19 in any State fiscal year.

For a 60-day period immediately after the 6 sales tax holiday period Sales Tax Holiday Period, if a 7 customer returns an item that would qualify for the 8 reduced rate of tax, credit for or refund of sales tax 9 shall be given only at the reduced rate unless the 10 customer provides a receipt or invoice that shows tax was 11 paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate, or the seller 12 has sufficient documentation to show that tax was paid at 13 the 6.25% general merchandise rate on the specific item. 14 This 60-day period is set solely for the purpose of 15 designating a time period during which the customer must 16 provide documentation that shows that the appropriate 17 sales tax rate was paid on returned merchandise. The 18 60-day period is not intended to change a seller's policy 19 on the time period during which the seller will accept 20 returns. 21 (b-5) As used in this Section, "sales tax holiday period" 22 means: 23 (1) from August 6, 2010 through August 15, 2010; 24 (2) from August 5, 2022 through August 14, 2022; and 25 (3) in 2024 and each year thereafter, the 10-day 26 period that begins on the first Monday in August.

The 9 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the 10 mandate of this paragraph. 11 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer 12 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment 13 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before 14 the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has 15 not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the 16 fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department 17 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit 18 the information required by the transaction reporting return 19 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to 20 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption 21 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return 22 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be 23 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account 24 with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount 25 provided for in this Section being allowed.

A remote retailer 7 using a certified service provider to file a return on its 8 behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for 9 Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount. When 10 determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers 11 shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 12 1% rate but for the 0% rate imposed under Public Act 102-700 13 this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. When 14 determining the discount allowed under this Section, retailers 15 shall include the amount of tax that would have been due at the 16 6.25% rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday 17 items under Public Act 102-700 or this amendatory Act of the 18 103rd General Assembly this amendatory Act of the 102nd 19 General Assembly.
