For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1, 5 2023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's 6 liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year" 7 shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public 8 Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. 9 Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this 10 paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 11 on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the 12 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, 13 food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft 14 drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate 15 consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments 16 due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through 17 June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same 18 calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as 19 if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 had not 20 occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at 21 the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the 22 taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the 23 difference between the minimum amount due and the amount of 24 such quarter monthly payment actually and timely paid, except 25 insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that 26 month to the Department in excess of the minimum payments HB3261 - 27 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 28 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 28 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 28 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 previously due as provided in this Section. The Department 2 shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the 3 quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment 4 dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly 5 basis. 6 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds 7 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers' 8 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the 9 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return, 10 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum 11 no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which 12 memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department 13 in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the 14 taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a 15 similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax 16 Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, 17 in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be 18 prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess 19 payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made 20 after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued, 21 unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made, 22 the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax 23 liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the 24 Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, 25 the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in 26 accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by HB3261 - 28 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 29 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 29 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 29 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that 2 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the 3 taxpayer, the taxpayer's vendor's discount shall be reduced, 4 if necessary, to reflect the difference between the credit 5 taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable 6 for penalties and interest on such difference. 7 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly 8 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to 9 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may 10 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, 11 with the return for January, February, and March of a given 12 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for 13 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of 14 such year; with the return for July, August and September of a 15 given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the 16 return for October, November and December of a given year 17 being due by January 20 of the following year. 18 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or 19 quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax 20 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the 21 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual 22 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20 23 of the following year. 24 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and 25 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as 26 monthly returns.

For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means 2 a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal 4 watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor. 5 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft, 6 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with 7 an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the 8 business of leasing or renting such items and who, in 9 connection with such business, sells any such item to a 10 retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any 11 other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to 12 meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting 13 the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, 14 or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the 15 Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting 16 return form on or before the 20th of the month following the 17 month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any 18 other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed 19 under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the 20 manner and form as required by the Department. 21 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor 22 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with 23 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the 24 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois 25 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller; 26 the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the HB3261 - 31 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 32 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 32 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 32 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for 2 traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer 3 for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the 4 extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for 5 the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after 6 deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling 7 price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to 8 such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the 9 purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory 10 evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance, 11 if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the 12 sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such 13 other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the 14 Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the 15 Department may reasonably require. 16 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft 17 and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the 18 name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling 19 price including the amount allowed by the retailer for 20 traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer 21 for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the 22 extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for 23 the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after 24 deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling 25 price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to 26 such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the HB3261 - 32 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 33 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 33 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 33 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory 2 evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance, 3 if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the 4 sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and 5 such other information as the Department may reasonably 6 require. 7 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later 8 than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is 9 being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner 10 than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting 11 return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax 12 that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the 13 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State 14 officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be 15 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required) 16 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine 17 that this procedure will expedite the processing of 18 applications for title or registration. 19 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer 20 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit 21 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is 22 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the 23 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt 24 (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied 25 that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser 26 may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with HB3261 - 33 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 34 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 34 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 34 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property 2 that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in 3 support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois 4 certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such 5 tangible personal property. 6 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this 7 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the 8 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other 9 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration 10 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has 11 paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The 12 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the 13 mandate of this paragraph. 14 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer 15 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment 16 of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the 17 retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not 18 paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact 19 of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department 20 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit 21 the information required by the transaction reporting return 22 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to 23 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption 24 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return 25 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be 26 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account HB3261 - 34 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 35 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 35 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 35 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 with the Department, but without the vendor's discount 2 provided for in this Section being allowed.

Lessors shall 15 file those lease returns and make payment to the Department by 16 electronic means on or before the 20th day of each month 17 following the month, quarter, or year, as applicable, in which 18 lease receipts were received. All lease receipts received by 19 the lessor from the lease of those trailers during the same 20 reporting period shall be reported and tax shall be paid on a 21 single return form to be prescribed by the Department. 22 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the 23 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and 24 the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal 25 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to 26 the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the HB3261 - 35 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 36 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 36 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 36 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser.

If the retailer has not previously remitted the 9 amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no 10 deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the 11 purchaser. 12 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also 13 include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax 14 covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible 15 personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer, 16 but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected 17 from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall 18 remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such 19 return. 20 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the 21 Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint 22 return which will enable retailers, who are required to file 23 returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax 24 Act, to furnish all the return information required by both 25 Acts on the one form. 26 Where the retailer has more than one business registered HB3261 - 36 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 37 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 37 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 37 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 with the Department under separate registration under this 2 Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a 3 single return covering all such registered businesses, but 4 shall file separate returns for each such registered business. 5 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall 6 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special 7 fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net 8 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax 9 imposed under this Act. 10 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall 11 pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the 12 net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% 13 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal 14 property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a 15 retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of this 16 State's government. 17 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall 18 pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special 19 fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue realized for 20 the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling 21 price of tangible personal property, other than (i) tangible 22 personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at 23 retail from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an 24 agency of this State's government and (ii) aviation fuel sold 25 on or after December 1, 2019.

The transaction reporting 21 return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the 22 Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of 23 the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the 24 tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if 25 titling or registration is required) if the Department and 26 such agency or State officer determine that this procedure HB3261 - 81 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 82 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 82 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 82 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 will expedite the processing of applications for title or 2 registration. 3 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer 4 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit 5 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is 6 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the 7 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax 8 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is 9 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such 10 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State 11 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible 12 personal property that is involved (if titling or registration 13 is required) in support of such purchaser's application for an 14 Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or 15 registration to such tangible personal property. 16 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this 17 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the 18 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other 19 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration 20 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has 21 paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The 22 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the 23 mandate of this paragraph. 24 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer 25 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment 26 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before HB3261 - 82 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261- 83 -LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 83 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b HB3261 - 83 - LRB104 06530 HLH 16566 b 1 the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has 2 not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the 3 fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department 4 being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit 5 the information required by the transaction reporting return 6 and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to 7 the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption 8 determination, in which event the transaction reporting return 9 and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be 10 credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account 11 with the Department, but without the vendor's discount 12 provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays 13 the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the 14 same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted 15 if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer. 16 On and after January 1, 2025, with respect to the lease of 17 trailers, other than semitrailers as defined in Section 1-187 18 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, that are required to be 19 registered with an agency of this State and that are subject to 20 the tax on lease receipts under this Act, notwithstanding any 21 other provision of this Act to the contrary, for the purpose of 22 reporting and paying tax under this Act on those lease 23 receipts, lessors shall file returns in addition to and 24 separate from the transaction reporting return.
