SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:

55 ILCS 5/5-1008

from Ch. 34, par. 5-1008

Amends the Counties Code. In provisions concerning the Home Rule
County Use Tax Law, provides that, if a home rule county imposes a tax
under the Home Rule County Use Tax Law, then the tax shall be collected by
the Department of Revenue if the property is purchased at retail from a
retailer in any county in this State other than the home rule county
imposing the tax. Provides that the tax shall be remitted to the State or
an exemption determination must be obtained from the Department before the
title or certificate of registration for the property may be issued.
Provides that the Department shall have full power to administer and
enforce the Home Rule County Use Tax Law, to collect all taxes, penalties,
and interest due under the Home Rule County Use Tax Law, to dispose of
taxes, penalties, and interest collected under the Home Rule County Use
Tax Law, and determine all rights to credit memoranda or refunds arising on
account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty, or interest. Provides
that, if the Department determines that a refund shall be made under the
Home Rule County Use Tax Law to a claimant instead of issuing a credit
memorandum, then the Department shall notify the State Comptroller, who
shall cause the order to be drawn for the amount specified, and to the
person named, in the notification from the Department. Provides that, as
soon as practicable, the Department shall pay over to the State Treasurer,
ex officio, as trustee, for deposit into the Home Rule County Retailers'
Occupation Tax Fund, all taxes, penalties, and interest collected under
the Home Rule County Use Tax Law. Provides that a certified copy of an
ordinance imposing or discontinuing the tax to be collected and enforced
by the Department under the Home Rule County Use Tax Law shall be adopted
and filed with the Department before the Department shall begin to collect
the tax. Provides that the Department shall not begin collection and
enforcement under the Home Rule County Use Tax Law before January 1, 2027.
Provides that the home rule county that imposed the tax may collect a tax
that the Department does not collect.
