644644 4 Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this
645645 5 Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
646646 6 the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of the Service Use
647647 7 Tax Act, of the tangible personal property, including, on and
648648 8 after January 1, 2025, tangible personal property transferred

654654 14 a distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to
655655 15 the service customer. If the selling price is not so shown, the
656656 16 selling price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
657657 17 be 50% of the serviceman's entire billing to the service
658658 18 customer. When, however, a serviceman contracts to design,
659659 19 develop, and produce special order machinery or equipment, the

661661 21 price of the tangible personal property transferred incident
662662 22 to the completion of the contract.

18411841 21 a certifying health care professional for: (1) issuing a
18421842 22 written certification to a patient who is not under the
