3  (35 ILCS 115/3-10)
4  Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this
5  Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
6  the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of the Service Use
7  Tax Act, of the tangible personal property, including, on and

12  selling price of each item of tangible personal property
13  transferred as an incident of a sale of service may be shown as
14  a distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to
15  the service customer. If the selling price is not so shown, the
16  selling price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
17  be 50% of the serviceman's entire billing to the service
18  customer. When, however, a serviceman contracts to design,
19  develop, and produce special order machinery or equipment, the
20  tax imposed by this Act shall be based on the serviceman's cost
21  price of the tangible personal property transferred incident
