An unreimbursed discount by 2 the seller reduces the sales price of the property so that 3 the discounted sales price determines whether the sales 4 price is within a sales tax holiday price threshold. A 5 coupon or other reduction in the sales price is treated as 6 a discount if the seller is not reimbursed for the coupon 7 or reduction amount by a third party. 8 (3) Splitting of items normally sold together. 9 Articles that are normally sold as a single unit must 10 continue to be sold in that manner. Such articles cannot 11 be priced separately and sold as individual items in order 12 to obtain the reduced rate of tax. For example, a pair of 13 shoes cannot have each shoe sold separately so that the 14 sales price of each shoe is within a sales tax holiday 15 price threshold. 16 (4) Rain checks. A rain check is a procedure that 17 allows a customer to purchase an item at a certain price at 18 a later time because the particular item was out of stock. 19 Eligible property that customers purchase during the Sales 20 Tax Holiday Period with the use of a rain check will 21 qualify for the reduced rate of tax regardless of when the 22 rain check was issued. Issuance of a rain check during the 23 Sales Tax Holiday Period will not qualify eligible 24 property for the reduced rate of tax if the property is 25 actually purchased after the Sales Tax Holiday Period. 26 (5) Exchanges. The procedure for an exchange in HB2798 - 15 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 16 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 16 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 16 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 regards to a sales tax holiday is as follows: 2 (A) If a customer purchases an item of eligible 3 property during the Sales Tax Holiday Period, but 4 later exchanges the item for a similar eligible item, 5 even if a different size, different color, or other 6 feature, no additional tax is due even if the exchange 7 is made after the Sales Tax Holiday Period. 8 (B) If a customer purchases an item of eligible 9 property during the Sales Tax Holiday Period, but 10 after the Sales Tax Holiday Period has ended, the 11 customer returns the item and receives credit on the 12 purchase of a different item, the 6.25% general 13 merchandise sales tax rate is due on the sale of the 14 newly purchased item. 15 (C) If a customer purchases an item of eligible 16 property before the Sales Tax Holiday Period, but 17 during the Sales Tax Holiday Period the customer 18 returns the item and receives credit on the purchase 19 of a different item of eligible property, the reduced 20 rate of tax is due on the sale of the new item if the 21 new item is purchased during the Sales Tax Holiday 22 Period. 23 (6) (Blank). 24 (7) Order date and back orders. For the purpose of a 25 sales tax holiday, eligible property qualifies for the 26 reduced rate of tax if: (i) the item is both delivered to HB2798 - 16 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 17 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 17 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 17 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 and paid for by the customer during the Sales Tax Holiday 2 Period or (ii) the customer orders and pays for the item 3 and the seller accepts the order during the Sales Tax 4 Holiday Period for immediate shipment, even if delivery is 5 made after the Sales Tax Holiday Period. The seller 6 accepts an order when the seller has taken action to fill 7 the order for immediate shipment. Actions to fill an order 8 include placement of an "in date" stamp on an order or 9 assignment of an "order number" to an order within the 10 Sales Tax Holiday Period. An order is for immediate 11 shipment when the customer does not request delayed 12 shipment. An order is for immediate shipment 13 notwithstanding that the shipment may be delayed because 14 of a backlog of orders or because stock is currently 15 unavailable to, or on back order by, the seller. 16 (8) Returns. For a 60-day period immediately after the 17 Sales Tax Holiday Period, if a customer returns an item 18 that would qualify for the reduced rate of tax, credit for 19 or refund of sales tax shall be given only at the reduced 20 rate unless the customer provides a receipt or invoice 21 that shows tax was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise 22 rate, or the seller has sufficient documentation to show 23 that tax was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate on 24 the specific item. This 60-day period is set solely for 25 the purpose of designating a time period during which the 26 customer must provide documentation that shows that the HB2798 - 17 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 18 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 18 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 18 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 appropriate sales tax rate was paid on returned 2 merchandise. The 60-day period is not intended to change a 3 seller's policy on the time period during which the seller 4 will accept returns. 5 (c) The Department may implement the provisions of this 6 Section through the use of emergency rules, along with 7 permanent rules filed concurrently with such emergency rules, 8 in accordance with the provisions of Section 5-45 of the 9 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. For purposes of the 10 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, the adoption of rules 11 to implement the provisions of this Section shall be deemed an 12 emergency and necessary for the public interest, safety, and 13 welfare. 14 (d) As used in this Section, "sales tax holiday period" 15 means: 16 (1) from August 6, 2010 through August 15, 2010; 17 (2) from August 5, 2022 through August 14, 2022; and 18 (3) during the first 7 days in August in 2025 and each 19 year thereafter. 20 (Source: P.A. 102-700, eff. 4-19-22.) 21 (35 ILCS 105/3-10) 22 Sec. 3-10.

For purposes of this 11 Section "fair market value" means the price at which property 12 would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing 13 seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and 14 both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. The 15 fair market value shall be established by Illinois sales by 16 the taxpayer of the same property as that functionally used or 17 consumed, or if there are no such sales by the taxpayer, then 18 comparable sales or purchases of property of like kind and 19 character in Illinois. 20 Beginning on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000, 21 with respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of the 22 Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40 of 23 the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%. 24 During the sales tax holiday period set forth in Section 25 3-6, Beginning on August 6, 2010 through August 15, 2010, and 26 beginning again on August 5, 2022 through August 14, 2022, HB2798 - 19 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 20 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 20 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 20 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 with respect to sales tax holiday items as defined in Section 2 3-6 of this Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%. 3 With respect to gasohol, the tax imposed by this Act 4 applies to (i) 70% of the proceeds of sales made on or after 5 January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003, (ii) 80% of the 6 proceeds of sales made on or after July 1, 2003 and on or 7 before July 1, 2017, (iii) 100% of the proceeds of sales made 8 after July 1, 2017 and prior to January 1, 2024, (iv) 90% of 9 the proceeds of sales made on or after January 1, 2024 and on 10 or before December 31, 2028, and (v) 100% of the proceeds of 11 sales made after December 31, 2028.

Quarter monthly payment status shall 9 be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to 10 1.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not 11 occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1, 12 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's 13 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" 14 shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public 15 Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. 16 Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this 17 paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 18 on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the 19 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, 20 food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft 21 drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate 22 consumption) had not occurred.

If the Department subsequently determines that 9 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the 10 taxpayer, the taxpayer's vendor's discount shall be reduced, 11 if necessary, to reflect the difference between the credit 12 taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable 13 for penalties and interest on such difference. 14 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly 15 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to 16 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may 17 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, 18 with the return for January, February, and March of a given 19 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for 20 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of 21 such year; with the return for July, August and September of a 22 given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the 23 return for October, November and December of a given year 24 being due by January 20 of the following year. 25 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or 26 quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax HB2798 - 38 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 39 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 39 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 39 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the 2 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual 3 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20 4 of the following year. 5 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and 6 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as 7 monthly returns. 8 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning 9 the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the 10 case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business 11 which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act, 12 such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the 13 Department not more than one month after discontinuing such 14 business. 15 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft, 16 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with 17 an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this 18 Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal 19 property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be 20 prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return 21 for each such item of tangible personal property which the 22 retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a 23 retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers 24 transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or 25 trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or 26 trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer HB2798 - 39 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 40 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 40 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 40 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers 2 more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer 3 to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as 4 provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may 5 report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor 6 vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the 7 Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting 8 return form.

The 19 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the 20 mandate of this paragraph. 21 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer 22 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment 23 of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the 24 retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not 25 paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact 26 of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department HB2798 - 43 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 44 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 44 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 44 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit 2 the information required by the transaction reporting return 3 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to 4 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption 5 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return 6 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be 7 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account 8 with the Department, but without the vendor's discount 9 provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays 10 the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the 11 same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted 12 if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer. 13 On and after January 1, 2025, with respect to the lease of 14 trailers, other than semitrailers as defined in Section 1-187 15 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, that are required to be 16 registered with an agency of this State and that are subject to 17 the tax on lease receipts under this Act, notwithstanding any 18 other provision of this Act to the contrary, for the purpose of 19 reporting and paying tax under this Act on those lease 20 receipts, lessors shall file returns in addition to and 21 separate from the transaction reporting return. Lessors shall 22 file those lease returns and make payment to the Department by 23 electronic means on or before the 20th day of each month 24 following the month, quarter, or year, as applicable, in which 25 lease receipts were received.

When 9 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax 10 to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax 11 so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax 12 which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the 13 Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax 14 to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by 15 such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the 16 amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no 17 deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the 18 purchaser. 19 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also 20 include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax 21 covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible 22 personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer, 23 but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected 24 from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall 25 remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such 26 return.

Items that qualify for the reduced 4 rate of tax that are bundled together with items that do 5 not qualify for the reduced rate of tax and that are sold 6 for one itemized price will be subject to the reduced rate 7 of tax only if the value of the items that qualify for the 8 reduced rate of tax exceeds the value of the items that do 9 not qualify for the reduced rate of tax. 10 (2) Coupons and discounts. An unreimbursed discount by 11 the seller reduces the sales price of the property so that 12 the discounted sales price determines whether the sales 13 price is within a sales tax holiday price threshold.

A rain check is a procedure that 26 allows a customer to purchase an item at a certain price at HB2798 - 65 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 66 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 66 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 66 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 a later time because the particular item was out of stock. 2 Eligible property that customers purchase during the Sales 3 Tax Holiday Period with the use of a rain check will 4 qualify for the reduced rate of tax regardless of when the 5 rain check was issued. Issuance of a rain check during the 6 Sales Tax Holiday Period will not qualify eligible 7 property for the reduced rate of tax if the property is 8 actually purchased after the Sales Tax Holiday Period. 9 (5) Exchanges. The procedure for an exchange in 10 regards to a sales tax holiday is as follows: 11 (A) If a customer purchases an item of eligible 12 property during the Sales Tax Holiday Period, but 13 later exchanges the item for a similar eligible item, 14 even if a different size, different color, or other 15 feature, no additional tax is due even if the exchange 16 is made after the Sales Tax Holiday Period. 17 (B) If a customer purchases an item of eligible 18 property during the Sales Tax Holiday Period, but 19 after the Sales Tax Holiday Period has ended, the 20 customer returns the item and receives credit on the 21 purchase of a different item, the 6.25% general 22 merchandise sales tax rate is due on the sale of the 23 newly purchased item. 24 (C) If a customer purchases an item of eligible 25 property before the Sales Tax Holiday Period, but 26 during the Sales Tax Holiday Period the customer HB2798 - 66 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 67 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 67 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 67 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 returns the item and receives credit on the purchase 2 of a different item of eligible property, the reduced 3 rate of tax is due on the sale of the new item if the 4 new item is purchased during the Sales Tax Holiday 5 Period. 6 (6) (Blank). 7 (7) Order date and back orders. For the purpose of a 8 sales tax holiday, eligible property qualifies for the 9 reduced rate of tax if: (i) the item is both delivered to 10 and paid for by the customer during the Sales Tax Holiday 11 Period or (ii) the customer orders and pays for the item 12 and the seller accepts the order during the Sales Tax 13 Holiday Period for immediate shipment, even if delivery is 14 made after the Sales Tax Holiday Period. The seller 15 accepts an order when the seller has taken action to fill 16 the order for immediate shipment. Actions to fill an order 17 include placement of an "in date" stamp on an order or 18 assignment of an "order number" to an order within the 19 Sales Tax Holiday Period. An order is for immediate 20 shipment when the customer does not request delayed 21 shipment. An order is for immediate shipment 22 notwithstanding that the shipment may be delayed because 23 of a backlog of orders or because stock is currently 24 unavailable to, or on back order by, the seller. 25 (8) Returns. For a 60-day period immediately after the 26 Sales Tax Holiday Period, if a customer returns an item HB2798 - 67 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 68 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 68 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 68 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 that would qualify for the reduced rate of tax, credit for 2 or refund of sales tax shall be given only at the reduced 3 rate unless the customer provides a receipt or invoice 4 that shows tax was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise 5 rate, or the seller has sufficient documentation to show 6 that tax was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate on 7 the specific item. This 60-day period is set solely for 8 the purpose of designating a time period during which the 9 customer must provide documentation that shows that the 10 appropriate sales tax rate was paid on returned 11 merchandise. The 60-day period is not intended to change a 12 seller's policy on the time period during which the seller 13 will accept returns. 14 (c) The Department may implement the provisions of this 15 Section through the use of emergency rules, along with 16 permanent rules filed concurrently with such emergency rules, 17 in accordance with the provisions of Section 5-45 of the 18 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. For purposes of the 19 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, the adoption of rules 20 to implement the provisions of this Section shall be deemed an 21 emergency and necessary for the public interest, safety, and 22 welfare. 23 (d) As used in this Section, "sales tax holiday period" 24 means: 25 (1) from August 6, 2010 through August 15, 2010; 26 (2) from August 5, 2022 through August 14, 2022; and HB2798 - 68 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798- 69 -LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 69 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b HB2798 - 69 - LRB104 03457 HLH 19656 b 1 (3) during the first 7 days in August in 2025 and each 2 year thereafter. 3 (Source: P.A. 102-700, eff. 4-19-22.) 4 (35 ILCS 120/2-10) 5 Sec. 2-10.

The 10 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the 11 mandate of this paragraph. 12 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer 13 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment 14 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before 15 the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has 16 not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the 17 fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department 18 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit 19 the information required by the transaction reporting return 20 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to 21 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption 22 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return 23 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be 24 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account 25 with the Department, but without the vendor's discount 26 provided for in this Section being allowed.
