14imposed on the selling price of the property. In all cases
15where property functionally used or consumed is a by-product

2fair market value shall be established by Illinois sales by

15rate but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday items
16under Public Act 102-700. The discount under this Section is

HB1177- 17 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
2January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
3shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
4liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
5for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
6during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
7January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or
8after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
9to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
1025% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
11the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
12liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
13prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
14equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
15month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
16month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
17liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
18of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
19final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
20Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
21the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
22continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
23the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
24quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
25month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
26taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as

HB1177- 18 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
2calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
3taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
4the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
5to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
6reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
7threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
8Department for change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
9and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
10the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department shall
11continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
12the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
13quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
14month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
15taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
16computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
17calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
18taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
19the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
20to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
21reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
22threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
23Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
24The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
25unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
26likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall

HB1177- 19 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
21.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not
3occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1,
42023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's
5liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year"
6shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public
7Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred.
8Quarter monthly payment status shall be determined under this
9paragraph as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700
10on food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
11premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
12food consisting of or infused with adult use cannabis, soft
13drinks, and food that has been prepared for immediate
14consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly payments
15due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and through
16June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
17calendar month of the preceding year" shall be determined as
18if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700 had not
19occurred. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
20the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
21taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
22difference between the minimum amount due and the amount of
23such quarter monthly payment actually and timely paid, except
24insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
25month to the Department in excess of the minimum payments
26previously due as provided in this Section. The Department

HB1177- 20 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the
2quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment
3dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly
4basis.
5 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
6the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
7Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
8Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
9the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
10no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
11memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
12in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
13taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
14similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
15Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
16in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
17prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
18payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
19after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
20unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
21the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
22liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
23Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
24the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
25accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
26the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that

HB1177- 21 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
2taxpayer, the taxpayer's vendor's discount shall be reduced,
3if necessary, to reflect the difference between the credit
4taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable
5for penalties and interest on such difference.
6 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
7return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
8the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
9authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
10with the return for January, February, and March of a given
11year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
12April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
13such year; with the return for July, August and September of a
14given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
15return for October, November and December of a given year
16being due by January 20 of the following year.
17 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
18quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
19liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
20Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
21basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
22of the following year.
23 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
24substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
25monthly returns.
26 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning

HB1177- 22 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
2case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
3which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
4such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
5Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
6business.
7 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
8aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
9an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
10Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
11property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
12prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
13for each such item of tangible personal property which the
14retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
15retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
16transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
17trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
18trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
19of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
20more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
21to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
22provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
23report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
24vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
25Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
26return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means

HB1177- 23 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
23-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
3watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
4 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
5aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
6an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
7business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
8connection with such business, sells any such item to a
9retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
10other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
11meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting
12the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles,
13or trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
14Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
15return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
16month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
17other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
18under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
19manner and form as required by the Department.
20 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
21vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
22an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
23Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
24Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;
25the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the
26selling price including the amount allowed by the retailer for

HB1177- 24 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
2for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
3extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
4the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
5deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
6price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
7such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
8purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
9evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
10if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
11sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
12other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
13Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
14Department may reasonably require.
15 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
16and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
17name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
18price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
19traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
20for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
21extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
22the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
23deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
24price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
25such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
26purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory

HB1177- 25 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
2if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
3sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
4such other information as the Department may reasonably
5require.
6 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
7than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
8being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
9than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
10return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
11that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
12Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
13officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
14titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
15if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
16that this procedure will expedite the processing of
17applications for title or registration.
18 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
19shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
20satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
21the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
22Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
23(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
24that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
25may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
26whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property

HB1177- 26 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
2support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
3certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
4tangible personal property.
5 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
6Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
7retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
8evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
9is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
10paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
11Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
12mandate of this paragraph.
13 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
14wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
15of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
16retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
17paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
18of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
19being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
20the information required by the transaction reporting return
21and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
22the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
23determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
24and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
25credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
26with the Department, but without the vendor's discount

HB1177- 27 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
2the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
3same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
4if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
5 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
6selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
7the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
8property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
9the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
10purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
11filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
12to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax
13so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax
14which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
15Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
16to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
17such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
18amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
19deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
20purchaser.
21 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
22include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
23covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
24personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
25but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
26from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall

HB1177- 28 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
2return.
3 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
4Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
5return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
6returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
7Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
8Acts on the one form.
9 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
10with the Department under separate registration under this
11Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
12single return covering all such registered businesses, but
13shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
14 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

20fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be
21required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation
22fuel under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the
23Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund. The Department shall only
24pay moneys into the State Aviation Program Fund and the

5rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol. If, in any
6month, the tax on sales tax holiday items, as defined in
7Section 3-6, is imposed at the rate of 1.25%, then the

23requirements of this Section.
24 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
25return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability

HB1177- 60 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds
2the selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
3shall also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from
4the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which
5he refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may

24returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
25Act, to furnish all the return information required by both

3 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
4aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
5an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
6liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
7transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
8required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
9monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
10be required to file returns on an annual basis.
11 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
12vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
13an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
14Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
15Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the seller;

18traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
19for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
20extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
21the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
22deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
23price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
24such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
25purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
26evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,

HB1177- 131 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
2sale; a sufficient identification of the property sold; such
3other information as is required in Section 5-402 of the
4Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other information as the
5Department may reasonably require.
6 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
7or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
8name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
9price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
10traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
11for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
12extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
13the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
14deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling
15price; the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to
16such transaction; the amount of tax collected from the
17purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory
18evidence that such tax is not due in that particular instance,
19if that is claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
20sale, a sufficient identification of the property sold, and
21such other information as the Department may reasonably
22require.
23 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
24than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
25being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
26than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting

HB1177- 132 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
2Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
3the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
4tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
5titling or registration is required) if the Department and
6such agency or State officer determine that this procedure
7will expedite the processing of applications for title or
8registration.
9 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
10shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
11satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
12the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
13Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
14receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
15satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
16purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
17officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
18personal property that is involved (if titling or registration
19is required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
20Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
21registration to such tangible personal property.
22 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
23Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
24retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
25evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
26is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has

HB1177- 133 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
2Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
3mandate of this paragraph.
4 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
5wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
6of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
7the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has
8not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the
9fact of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
10being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
11the information required by the transaction reporting return
12and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
13the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
14determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
15and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
16credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
17with the Department, but without the vendor's discount
18provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
19the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
20same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
21if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
22 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
23period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
24returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
25subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
26may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the

HB1177- 134 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
2return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
3with respect to such receipts.
4 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
5behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
6vice-president, secretary, or treasurer or by the properly
7accredited agent of such corporation.
8 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
9return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
10be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
11of the limited liability company.
12 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
13the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
14return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
15Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
16on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
17whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
18retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
19preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
20data to the Department on request. On and after January 1,
212021, a certified service provider, as defined in the Leveling
22the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, filing the return
23under this Section on behalf of a remote retailer shall, at the
24time of such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax
25imposed by this Act less a discount of 1.75%. A remote retailer
26using a certified service provider to file a return on its

HB1177- 135 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1behalf, as provided in the Leveling the Playing Field for
2Illinois Retail Act, is not eligible for the discount.
3Beginning with returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the
4vendor's discount allowed in this Section, the Service
5Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
6Act, including any local tax administered by the Department
7and reported on the same return, shall not exceed $1,000 per
8month in the aggregate for returns other than transaction
9returns filed during the month. When determining the discount
10allowed under this Section, retailers shall include the amount
11of tax that would have been due at the 1% rate but for the 0%
12rate imposed under Public Act 102-700. When determining the
13discount allowed under this Section, retailers shall include
14the amount of tax that would have been due at the 6.25% rate
15but for the 1.25% rate imposed on sales tax holiday items under
16Public Act 102-700. The discount under this Section is not
17allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on aviation fuel
18that is subject to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
1947107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made pursuant to
20Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on which
21such discount is computed. In the case of retailers who report
22and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction basis, as
23provided in this Section, such discount shall be taken with
24each such tax remittance instead of when such retailer files
25his periodic return, but, beginning with returns due on or
26after January 1, 2025, the vendor's discount allowed under

HB1177- 136 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1this Section and the Use Tax Act, including any local tax
2administered by the Department and reported on the same
3transaction return, shall not exceed $1,000 per month for all
4transaction returns filed during the month. The discount
5allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that
6are filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department
7may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
8registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
9only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
10registration has become final.
11 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
12tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
13Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
14Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
15remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was

20payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
21last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
22On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average
23monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act, the
24Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service
25Use Tax Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to
26be remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was

HB1177- 137 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1$20,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
2quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
3month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
4during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
5payment to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
6last day of the month during which such liability is incurred.
7If the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
8prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount
9equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month
10or an amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the
11average monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department
12for the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
13month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability
14in such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
15liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
16prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
17equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
18month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
19calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
20which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
21January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
22shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
23liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
24for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the month
25during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
26January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or

HB1177- 138 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal
2to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
325% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
4the preceding year. If the month during which such tax
5liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and
6prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount
7equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
8month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
9month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual
10liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount
11of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
12final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month.
13Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
14the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
15taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $10,000
16or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
17continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
18the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
19quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
20month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
21taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
22computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
23calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
24taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
25the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
26to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the

HB1177- 139 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
2threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
3Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
4On and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement
5of the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
6taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000
7or more as determined in the manner provided above shall
8continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
9the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
10quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
11month of lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such
12taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
13computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
14calendar quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a
15taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
16the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
17to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
18reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000
19threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
20Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
21The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
22unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and not
23likely to be long term. Quarter monthly payment status shall
24be determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
250% in Public Act 102-700 on food for human consumption that is
26to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than

HB1177- 140 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1alcoholic beverages, food consisting of or infused with adult
2use cannabis, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for
3immediate consumption) had not occurred. For quarter monthly
4payments due under this paragraph on or after July 1, 2023 and
5through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's liability for
6the same calendar month of the preceding year" shall be
7determined as if the rate reduction to 0% in Public Act 102-700
8had not occurred. Quarter monthly payment status shall be
9determined under this paragraph as if the rate reduction to
101.25% in Public Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not
11occurred. For quarter monthly payments due on or after July 1,
122023 and through June 30, 2024, "25% of the taxpayer's
13liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year"
14shall be determined as if the rate reduction to 1.25% in Public
15Act 102-700 on sales tax holiday items had not occurred. If any
16such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
17amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
18liable for penalties and interest on the difference between
19the minimum amount due as a payment and the amount of such
20quarter monthly payment actually and timely paid, except
21insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
22month to the Department in excess of the minimum payments
23previously due as provided in this Section. The Department
24shall make reasonable rules and regulations to govern the
25quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment
26dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly

HB1177- 141 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1basis.
2 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
32001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
4quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
5is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
6prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
7excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
8calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
9required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
10Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
11month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
12during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
13September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
14each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
15taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
16during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
17January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
1822.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
1927.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month
20of the preceding calendar year. If the month during which such
21tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987,
22each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
23taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the
24taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
25preceding year. The amount of such quarter monthly payments
26shall be credited against the final tax liability of the

HB1177- 142 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
2Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
3requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
4Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until
5such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during
6the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters is $25,000 or less.
7If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or
8in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be liable for
9penalties and interest on such difference, except insofar as
10the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month in
11excess of the minimum payments previously due.
12 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after
13October 1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is
14required to make quarter monthly payments as specified above,
15any taxpayer who is required by Section 2d of this Act to
16collect and remit prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
17taxes that average in excess of $20,000 per month during the
18preceding 4 complete calendar quarters shall file a return
19with the Department as required by Section 2f and shall make
20payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd,
21and last day of the month during which the liability is
22incurred. Each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
23the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
24taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
25preceding year. The amount of the quarter monthly payments
26shall be credited against the final tax liability of the

HB1177- 143 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1taxpayer's return for that month filed under this Section or
2Section 2f, as the case may be. Once applicable, the
3requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
4Department pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
5taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax collections during the
6preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
7highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
8than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly
9liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
10quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarters is less
11than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid
12at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer shall be
13liable for penalties and interest on such difference, except
14insofar as the taxpayer has previously made payments for that
15month in excess of the minimum payments previously due.
16 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
17taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
18Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, as
19shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
20requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
21memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
22credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
23the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
24Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, or the Service Use Tax
25Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
26prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the

HB1177- 144 -LRB104 04967 HLH 14994 b
1taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
2subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
3the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, or the Service
4Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
5regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
6subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
7taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's %
8vendor's discount shall be reduced, if necessary, to reflect
9the difference between the credit taken and that actually due,
10and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest
11on such difference.
12 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
13Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
14to the Department under this Act for the month for which the
15taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
16taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
17 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

7the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
8payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
9impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
10significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
11exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
12that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
13who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
14business of selling tangible personal property at retail at
15the exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant
16risk of loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall
