TITLE 86: REVENUE
CHAPTER I: DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
PART 270 HOME RULE MUNICIPAL RETAILERS' OCCUPATION TAX
SECTION 270.115 JURISDICTIONAL QUESTIONS
Section 270.115
Jurisdictional Questions
a) Definitions
When used in this Part, "Municipality"
includes all territory located within the municipality, and refers to all
cities, villages or incorporated towns, including an incorporated town that has
superseded a civil township.
When used in this Part,
"Selling Activities" refers to those activities that comprise
"an occupation, the business of which is to sell tangible personal
property at retail". "Selling Activities" includes "the
composite of many activities extending from the preparation for, and the
obtaining of, orders for goods to the final consummation of the sale by the
passing of title and payment of the purchase price". Ex-Cell-O Corp. v.
McKibbin, 383 Ill. 316, 321 (1943).
b) Retailer's
Selling Activities Determine Taxing Jurisdiction
1) Occupation of Selling. The Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act [65 ILCS 5/8-11-1] authorizes home rule municipalities to impose a tax
on those engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property at
retail within the municipality. O
n and after January
1, 2025, the tax imposed under Section 8-11-1 applies to leases of tangible
personal property in effect, entered into, or renewed on or after that date and
the business of selling includes the business of leasing tangible personal
property.
Because the statute imposes a tax on the retail business of
selling, and not on specific sales, the jurisdiction in which the sale takes
place is not necessarily the jurisdiction where the local retailers' occupation
tax is owed. Rather, it is the jurisdiction where the seller is engaged in the
business of selling that can impose the tax. Automatic Voting Machs. v. Daley,
409 Ill. 438, 447 (1951) ("In short, the tax is imposed on the "occupation"
of the retailer and not upon the "sales" as such.") (citing
Mahon v. Nudelman, 377 Ill. 331 (1941) and Standard Oil Co. v. Dep't of
Finance, 383 Ill. 136 (1943)); see also Young v. Hulman, 39 Ill. 2d 219, 225
(1968) ("the retailers occupational tax...imposes liability upon the
occupation of selling at retail and not on the sale itself"). Beginning
January 1, 2021, Public Acts 101-31 and 101-604, which implemented the Leveling
the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act, enacted specific provisions
regarding the location at which sales made by remote retailers and marketplace
facilitators occur. See subsections (e), (f), and (g) of this Section. The
changes made by these public acts and rules promulgated thereunder at 86 Ill.
Adm. Code 131 provide that the location where sales occur is frequently the
location to which the tangible personal property sold is shipped or delivered
or at which possession is taken by the purchaser ("destination
sourcing"). Except as specifically noted herein, the provisions of this
Section do not otherwise apply to remote retailers and marketplace
facilitators.
2) Composite
of Selling Activities. The occupation of selling is comprised of "the
composite of many activities extending from the preparation for, and the
obtaining of, orders for goods to the final consummation of the sale by the
passing of title and payment of the purchase price". Ex-Cell-O Corp. v.
McKibbin, 383 Ill. 316, 321 (1943). Thus, establishing where "the taxable
business of selling is being carried on" requires a fact-specific inquiry
into the composite of activities that comprise the retailer's business.
Hartney Fuel Oil Co. v. Hamer, 2013 IL 115130, paragraph 32 (citing Ex-Cell-O
Corp. v. McKibbin, 383 Ill. 316, 321-22 (1943)).
3) Multijurisdictional
Retailers. Some retailers are engaged in retail operations with selling activities
in multiple jurisdictions within the State, or in jurisdictions located in more
than one state. The selling activities that comprise these businesses
"are as varied as the methods which men select to carry on retail
business". Ex-Cell-O Corp. v. McKibbin, 383 Ill. 316, 321 (1943).
Consequently, "it is…not possible to prescribe by definition which of many
activities must take place in [a jurisdiction] to constitute it an occupation
conducted in [that jurisdiction]… [I]t is necessary to determine each case
according to the facts which reveal the method by which the business was
conducted". Ex-Cell-O-Corp. v. McKibbin, 383 Ill. 316, 321-22 (1943); see
also Hartney Fuel Oil Co. v. Hamer, 2013 IL 115130, paragraph 36.
4) Statutory
Intent. It is the intent of the Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax
that retailers will incur local retailers' occupation tax in a jurisdiction in
Illinois if they "enjoyed the greater part of governmental [services and]
protection" in that jurisdiction. Hartney Fuel Oil Co. v. Hamer, 2013 IL
115130, paragraph 34 (quoting Svithiod Singing Club v. McKibbin, 381 Ill. 194,
197 (1942)). By allowing the municipality to impose tax on retailers who
conduct business in the municipality, the Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act links the retailer's tax liability to where it principally
enjoys the benefits of government services. Svithiod Club v. McKibbin, 38 Ill.
194, 199 (1942).
5) Determination
of Taxing Jurisdiction. Applying the provisions in subsections (b)(1) and (b)(4),
a seller incurs Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax in a home rule
municipality if its predominant and most important selling activities take
place in the municipality. Isolated or limited business activities within a
jurisdiction do not constitute engaging in the business of selling in that
jurisdiction when other more significant selling activities occur outside the
jurisdiction, and the business predominantly takes advantage of government
services provided by other jurisdictions. Ex-Cell-O Corp. v. McKibbin, 383
Ill. 316, 322-23 (1943); Hartney Fuel Oil Co. v. Hamer, 2013 IL 115130,
paragraphs 30 through 35.
6) Substance
over Form. The Department "may look through the form of a putatively
[multijurisdictional] transaction to its substance" to determine where
"enough of the business of selling took place" and, thus, where the
seller is subject to local retailers' occupation tax. Marshall & Huschart
Mach. Co. v. Dep't of Revenue, 18 Ill. 2d 496, 501 (1960); Fed. Bryant Mach.
Co. v. Dep't of Revenue, 41 Ill. 2d 64, 67 (1968); Int'l-Stanley Corp. v. Dep't
of Revenue, 40 Ill. App. 3d 397, 406 (1
st
Dist. 1976); Hartney Fuel
Oil Co. v. Hamer, 2013 IL 115130, paragraph 31. For example, the Department
will not look to the location of a party that is owned by or has common
ownership with a supplier or a purchaser if the party does not, in substance,
conduct the selling activities related to the sales.
7) Same
Standard Applies to Intrastate and Interstate Retailers. For purposes of
determining where a retailer is engaged in the business of selling, it does not
matter whether the retailer is engaged in selling activities in taxing
jurisdictions in multiple states, or in multiple jurisdictions in this State.
The legal standard is the same. The retailer is engaged in the business of
selling in the taxing jurisdiction where its predominant and most important selling
activities take place. Ex-Cell-O Corp. v. McKibbin, 383 Ill. 316 (1943);
Hartney Fuel Oil Co. v. Hamer, 2013 IL 115130, paragraph 30 ("the location
of the business of selling inside or outside the [S]tate controls…"). If
a retailer engages in some selling activities in a taxing jurisdiction in this
State, but that retailer's predominant selling activities are outside the
State, the retailer's obligation to collect and remit taxes on Illinois sales
is governed
, through December 31, 2024,
by the
Illinois Use Tax Act [35 ILCS 105/2] (defining "retailer maintaining a
place of business in the State"); Hartney Fuel Oil Co. v. Hamer, 2013 IL 115130,
paragraph 31 ("some combination of activities within the [S]tate are
insufficient for the retail occupation tax to apply") (citing Automatic
Voting Machs. v. Daley, 409 Ill. 438, 447 (1951)).
Beginning on January 1, 2025, a retailer maintaining a place of business in
this State that makes retail sales of tangible personal property to Illinois
customers from a location or locations outside of Illinois is engaged in the
occupation of selling at retail in Illinois for the purposes of the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act. Those retailers are liable for all applicable State and
locally imposed retailers' occupation taxes administered by the Department on
retail sales made by those retailers to Illinois customers from locations
outside of Illinois.
[35 ILCS 120/2] See
subsection (h).
8) Because
it is not practicable for retailers to divide retailers' occupation tax among
competing jurisdictions, a retailer subject to the retailers' occupation tax is
engaged in the business of selling in only one location in Illinois for each
sale.
c) Application
of Composite of Selling Activities Test to Retailers Conducting Selling
Activities in Multiple Taxing Jurisdictions. Every retailer maintaining a
place of business in this State shall determine the taxing jurisdictions in
which it is engaged in the business of selling with respect to each of its
sales by applying the standards set forth in this subsection (c), except when a
retailer is engaged in particular selling activities identified by a statute
that specifies the taxing jurisdiction where retailers engaged in those
activities shall remit retailers' occupation tax. These retailers shall remit
retailers' occupation tax as directed by statute, notwithstanding anything in this
Part to the contrary.
1) Primary
Selling Activities. Without attempting to anticipate every kind of fact
situation that may arise, taxpayers that divide selling activities among
personnel located in multiple jurisdictions shall consider the following selling
activities to determine where they are engaged in the business of selling with
respect to each sale. A retailer is engaged in the business of selling in only
one location for each sale, but may be engaged in the business of selling in
different locations for different sales:
A) Location
of sales personnel exercising discretion and authority to solicit customers on
behalf of a seller and to bind the seller to the sale;
B) Location
where the seller takes action that binds it to the sale, which may be
acceptance of purchase orders, submission of offers subject to unilateral
acceptance by the buyer, or other actions that bind the seller to that sale;
C) Location
where payment is tendered and received, or from which invoices are issued with
respect to each sale;
D) Location
of inventory if tangible personal property that is sold is in the retailer's
inventory at the time of its sale or delivery; and
E) Location
of the retailer's headquarters, which is the principal place from which the
business of selling tangible personal property is directed or managed. In
general, this is the place at which the offices of the principal executives are
located. When executive authority is located in multiple jurisdictions, the
place of daily operational decision making is the headquarters.
2) A
retailer engaging in three or more primary selling activities in one location
in the State for a particular sale shall remit the retailers' occupation tax
imposed by the taxing bodies with authority to impose retailers' occupation tax
on those engaged in the business of selling in that location for that sale. T
hrough December 31, 2024, a
retailer engaging in
three or more primary selling activities for a particular sale outside the
State shall collect and remit tax to the State to the extent required by the
Illinois Use Tax Act [35 ILCS 105] for that sale, except as provided in
subsection (d).
On and after January 1, 2025, a
retailer engaging in three or more primary selling activities for a particular
sale outside the State shall remit State and local retailers' occupation tax in
effect at the Illinois location to which the tangible personal property is
shipped or delivered or at which possession is taken by the purchaser
("destination sourcing") for that sale, except as provided in
subsection (d). See subsection (h).
3) Application
of Primary Selling Activities to Common Selling Operations. Retailers engaged
in selling operations with a single location where the primary selling activities
predominate constitute the vast majority of retailers in the State.
Subsections (c)(3)(A) through (c)(3)(C) apply the primary selling activities to
certain common selling operations and identify the location where the
Department will presume the seller is engaged in the business of selling with
respect to each sale.
A) Over the
Counter Sales. If a purchaser is present at a place of business owned or
leased by a retailer and there enters into an agreement with the retailer's
sales personnel to purchase tangible personal property, and makes payment for
that property at the same place of business, then the retailers' occupation tax
for that sale is incurred at the retailer's place of business where the sale
occurred regardless of whether the purchaser takes immediate possession of the
tangible personal property, or the retailer delivers or arranges for the
property to be delivered to the purchaser.
B) Sale through
Vending Machines. A retailer is engaged in the business of selling food,
beverages or other tangible personal property through a vending machine at the
location where the vending machine is located when the sale is made if:
i) the
vending machine is a device operated by coin, currency, credit card, token,
coupon or similar device that dispenses food, beverage or other tangible
personal property;
ii) the
food, beverage or other tangible personal property is contained within the
vending machine and dispensed from the vending machine; and
iii) the
purchaser takes possession of the purchased food, beverage or other tangible
personal property immediately.
C) Sales from
Vehicles Carrying Uncommitted Stock of Goods. The seller's place of engaging
in business when making sales and deliveries (not just deliveries pursuant to
previously completed sales, but actual sales and deliveries) from a vehicle in
which a stock of goods is being carried for sale is the place at which the
sales and deliveries actually are made. The vehicle carrying the stock of
goods for sale is regarded as a portable place of business.
4) Secondary
Selling Activities. If the primary selling activities listed in subsection
(c)(1) occur in multiple jurisdictions, but no individual jurisdiction has more
than two primary selling activities, the following additional selling activities
shall be considered to determine the jurisdiction in which the retailer is engaged
in the business of selling.
A) Location where marketing
and solicitation occur;
B) Location
where the seller engages in activities necessary to procure goods for sale;
C) Location
of the retailer's officers, executives or employees with authority to set
prices or determine other terms of sale if determinations are made in a
location different than that identified in subsection (c)(1)(A);
D) Location
where purchase orders or other contractual documents are received when purchase
orders are accepted, processed, or fulfilled in a location or locations
different from where they are received;
E) Location
where title passes; and
F) Location
where the retailer displays goods to prospective customers, such as a showroom.
5) Except
as provided in subsection (d), a retailer that is not engaged in the business
of selling in a jurisdiction under subsection (c)(2) is engaged in the business
of selling in the jurisdiction where its inventory is located under subsection (c)(1)(D),
or where its headquarters is located under subsection (c)(1)(E), whichever
jurisdiction is the location where more selling activities occur, considering
both primary and secondary selling activities.
6) A
retailer that is not engaged in the business of selling in a jurisdiction under
subsection (c)(2) or (c)(5) is presumed to be engaged in the business of
selling at the location of its headquarters absent clear and convincing
evidence to the contrary.
7) EXAMPLE:
Company X is a manufacturer and retailer of pet supplies headquartered in
Chicago. Company X has a team of sales personnel who work from their own homes
located throughout Illinois. Company X makes sales to customers in Illinois
through a variety of channels including internet sales, telephone sales, pet
expositions, and brick and mortar stores. Many of its sales to Illinois
customers are through its remote sales team who make sales over the phone and
receive purchase orders over the phone. Team members then input the order and
customer payment information received from the customer on the phone into the
company's computer system. Payment information is then uploaded to a
third-party payment processor in Kankakee, Illinois and processed. Invoices
are sent to the customer from Company X's headquarters in Chicago. Sales are
fulfilled from inventory located at the company's fulfillment center in
Champaign, Illinois. A team member working remotely from his home in Peoria,
Illinois makes a sale over the phone to a customer who had seen the item
advertised in a magazine, and the item is shipped to the customer's home in
Kankakee, Illinois.
Applying the primary selling
activities listed in (c)(1), Peoria is the site with regard to (A) and (B);
Kankakee or Chicago is the site with regard to (C); Champaign is the site with
regard to (D); and Chicago is the site with regard to (E). Peoria and Chicago
are both the site of two primary selling activities. Because no site is the
location of three primary selling activities, the secondary selling activities
listed in (c)(4) must be considered.
Applying the secondary selling
activities in (c)(4), Peoria is the site with regard to (A) and (D); Chicago is
the site with regard to (B) and (C); Kankakee is the site with regard to (E);
and, because in this sale the customer viewed the items in a magazine and
ordered over the phone, (F) is not applicable. Again, Peoria and Chicago are
both the site of two secondary selling activities.
Under subsection (c)(5), because
no site was the location of three primary selling activities under (c)(1), the
retailer is engaged in the business of selling either in Champaign, where its inventory
is located under subsection (c)(1)(D), or in Chicago, where its headquarters is
located under subsection (c)(1)(E), whichever jurisdiction is the location
where more selling activities occur, considering both primary and secondary
selling activities. Because Champaign is the site of only one selling activity
and Chicago is the site of four, this sale would be sourced to Chicago.
d) Presumptions
Applying to Certain Selling Operations
1) For
certain classes of retailers with unique, complicated or widely dispersed selling
activities, determining appropriate tax situs in every situation presents
substantial administrative difficulties for both retailers and tax enforcement
personnel. Subsections (d)(2) through (d)(6) provide administrative "short
cuts" that balance the administrative difficulties presented by certain
selling operations against the need for accurate tax assessment.
2) In-State-Inventory/Out
of State Selling Activity.
Except as provided in
subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, if
a retailer's selling activities
take place in taxing jurisdictions outside the State, except that the tangible
personal property that is sold is in an inventory in the possession of the
retailer located within a jurisdiction in Illinois at the time of its sale (or
is subsequently produced by the retailer in the jurisdiction), then delivered
in Illinois to the purchaser, the jurisdiction where the property is located at
the time of the sale or when it is subsequently produced by the retailer will
determine where the retailer is engaged in business with respect to the sale.
Chemed Corp., Inc. v. Department of Revenue, 186 Ill. App. 3d 402 (4
th
Dist. 1989).
3) Sales
over the Internet.
Except as provided in subsections
(e), (f), and (g) of this Section, when
a customer places an order for the
purchase of tangible personal property through a consumer-based retailer
website available without limitation on the world wide web and the retailer
ships the property to the customer in this State, the Department will presume
that the retailer's predominant selling activities take place outside of this
State. Therefore, such a sale will be subject to the Illinois Use Tax Act
through December 31, 2024, and the Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act beginning January 1, 2025, as provided in subsection (h) below,
unless
there is clear and convincing evidence the retailer's predominant and most
important selling activities take place in this State. Clear and convincing
evidence sufficient to overcome the presumption provided for in this subsection
(d)(3) includes, but is not limited to, the following circumstances:
A) the
tangible personal property that is sold is in an inventory in the possession of
the retailer located within a jurisdiction in Illinois at the time of its sale
(or is subsequently produced by the retailer in the jurisdiction), in which
case the retailer is engaged in the business of selling in the jurisdiction
where the property is located at the time of the sale with respect to the sale;
or
B) the
customer takes possession of the tangible personal property at a place of
business owned or leased by the retailer in the State, in which case the
retailer is engaged in the business of selling in the jurisdiction where the
customer takes possession of the property with respect to that sale.
4) Leases
with an Option to Purchase. A lease with a dollar or other nominal option to
purchase is considered to be a conditional sale subject to retailers'
occupation tax. (See 86 Ill. Adm. Code 130.2010(a)). On and after July 23,
2015,
a retailer selling tangible personal property to a nominal lessee or
bailee pursuant to a lease with a dollar or other nominal option to purchase is
engaged in the business of selling at the location where the property is first
delivered to the lessee or bailee for its intended use.
[35 ILCS
120/2-12(5)]. This provision applies to all retailers, including, on and after
January 1, 2021, remote retailers and retailers making sales over a marketplace
that meets either of the tax remittance thresholds established at 86 Ill. Adm.
Code 131.135 (a). The retailer must maintain books and records that document
the physical location to which the property is first delivered to the lessee or
bailee for its intended use. An executed contract between the retailer and
lessee that clearly specifies the location of the property creates a rebuttable
presumption that such location is where the property is first delivered to the
lessee for its intended use. The Department may rebut this presumption with
clear and convincing evidence that such location is not the location where the
property is first delivered to the lessee for its intended use. Absent such a
contract, the lessee must provide the retailer with a certification at the time
of sale that declares the location where the product is first delivered for its
intended use. The retailer must maintain this certification in its books and
records and may presume this certification is valid.
Example: A retailer sells
equipment to a nominal lessee or bailee pursuant to a lease with a dollar
option to purchase. The equipment is first delivered to the lessee's
Springfield, Illinois warehouse to be inspected. The property is then
delivered to the lessee's headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to be used in the
lessee's business. For purposes of this sale, the retailer is engaged in the
business of selling in Chicago, Illinois, since that is the location where the
property is first delivered for its intended use.
5) Sales
of Coal or Other Minerals. A retail sale by a producer of coal or other
mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail in the jurisdiction where the
coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is extracted from the earth. For
purposes of this subsection (d)(5), "extracted from the earth" means
the location at which the coal or other mineral is extracted from the mouth of
the mine.
On and after January 1, 2021, this provision
applies to retailers, including marketplace sellers and marketplace
facilitators.
A) A
retail sale is a sale to a user, such as a railroad, public utility or other
industrial company, for use. "Mineral" includes not only coal, but
also oil, sand, stone taken from a quarry, gravel and any other thing commonly
regarded as a mineral and extracted from the earth.
B) A
mineral produced in Illinois, but shipped out of Illinois by the seller for use
outside Illinois, will generally be tax exempt under the Commerce Clause of the
Federal Constitution (i.e., as a sale in interstate commerce). This exemption
does not extend, however, to sales to carriers, other than common carries by
rail or motor, for their own use outside Illinois if the purchasing carrier
takes delivery of the property in the jurisdiction and transports it over its
own line to an
out-of-State
destination.
C) A sale
by mineral producer to a wholesaler or retailer for resale would not be a retail
sale by the producer and so would not be taxable. The taxable sale (the retail
sale) is the final sale to the user, and local retailers' occupation tax on
that sale will go to the jurisdiction where the retailer is engaged in the
business of selling, as provided in this subsection (d)(5).
6) Lease
Transactions. Beginning January 1, 2025, the lease of tangible personal
property that is subject to the tax on leases is sourced as follows:
A)
For
a lease that requires recurring periodic payments and for which the property is
delivered to the lessee by the lessor, each periodic payment is sourced to the
primary property location for each period covered by the payment. The primary
property location shall be as indicated by an address for the property provided
by the lessee that is available to the lessor from its records maintained in the
ordinary course of business, when use of this address does not constitute bad
faith. The property location is not altered by intermittent use at different
locations, such as use of business property that accompanies employees on
business trips and service calls.
B)
For
all other leases, including a lease that does not require recurring periodic
payments and any lease for which the lessee takes possession of the property at
the lessor's place of business, the payment is sourced as otherwise provided
by
the application of the Composite of Selling Activities Test provided in
subsection (c) and the other Presumptions Applying to Certain Selling
Operations provided in this subsection (d). [35 ILCS 120/2-12(5-5)]
e) Sales
to Illinois purchasers by remote retailers
. Beginning January 1, 2021,
remote retailers, as defined in Section 2 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
that meet either of the tax remittance thresholds set out at 86 Ill. Adm. Code
131.115(a), are engaged in the business of selling at the Illinois location to
which the tangible personal property is shipped or delivered or at which
possession is taken by the purchaser
("destination sourcing")
.
[35 ILCS 120/2-12(6)]. A retailer is not considered a remote retailer if it
maintains inventory in Illinois or has any other type of physical presence in
Illinois. However, a remote retailer’s inventory at the location of a
marketplace facilitator in Illinois does not create physical presence nexus
when used exclusively to fulfill orders made over the marketplace that meets a
tax remittance threshold under Section 131.135(a). See 86 Ill. Adm. Code
131.105.
f)
Sales made to Illinois purchasers by marketplace
facilitators on behalf of marketplace sellers.
Beginning January 1, 2021,
marketplace facilitators, as defined in Section 2 of the Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act, that meet either of the tax remittance thresholds established at 86
Ill. Adm. Code 131.135(a), are engaged in the business of selling at the
location to which the tangible personal property is shipped or delivered or at
which possession is taken by the purchaser for sales made over the marketplace
on behalf of marketplace sellers
("destination sourcing"). [35
ILCS 120/2-12(7)]. This is the case notwithstanding the presence of a
marketplace seller's inventory in Illinois. This subsection (f) is subject to
the exception for sales of coal and other minerals set out in subsection
(d)(5).
g)
Sales made by marketplace facilitators to Illinois
purchasers not on behalf of marketplace sellers. When a marketplace
facilitator makes a sale of its own to Illinois purchasers, or the marketplace
seller of the tangible personal property is not identified (see 86 Ill. Adm.
Code 131.130(b)), it may incur either destination sourcing or sourcing determined
under the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section ("origin
sourcing").
1) When
a marketplace facilitator located in Illinois makes its own sale to an Illinois
purchaser that is fulfilled from inventory located in Illinois or for which
selling activities otherwise occur at a location in Illinois as provided in
this Section, it is engaged in the business of selling at the Illinois location
at which the inventory is located or at which the selling activities otherwise
occur ("origin sourcing"), as determined by applying the provisions
of subsection (c) of this Section.
2) When
a marketplace facilitator makes its own sale to an Illinois purchaser that is
fulfilled from inventory located outside Illinois and for which selling
activities otherwise do not occur at a location in Illinois as provided in this
Section, it is engaged in the business of selling at the Illinois location to
which the tangible personal property is shipped or delivered or at which
possession is taken by the purchaser ("destination sourcing").
h)
Beginning on January 1, 2025, for sales that would
otherwise be sourced outside of this State, a retailer maintaining a place of
business in this State that makes retail sales of tangible personal property to
Illinois customers from a location or locations outside of Illinois is engaged
in the business of selling at the Illinois location to which the tangible
personal property is shipped or delivered or at which possession is taken by
the purchaser.
[35 ILCS 120/2-12] If,
after
application of the Composite of Selling
Activities Test provided in subsection (c) and the Presumptions Applying to
Certain Selling Operations provided in subsection (d),
it is determined
that a retailer maintaining a place of business in this State is engaged in the
business of selling in a jurisdiction outside of this State for a sale to an
Illinois customer, that retailer incurs applicable State and local retailers'
occupation tax in effect at the Illinois location to which the tangible
personal property is shipped or delivered or at which possession is taken by
the purchaser ("destination sourcing").
i) The
requirements of this Section also apply to the following Retailers' Occupation
Taxes:
1) 86
Ill. Adm. Code 220 (Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax);
2) 86
Ill. Adm. Code 320 (Regional Transportation Authority Retailers' Occupation Tax);
3) 86
Ill. Adm. Code 370 (Metro East Mass Transit District Retailers' Occupation Tax);
4) 86
Ill. Adm. Code 395 (Metro-East Park and Recreation District Retailers'
Occupation Tax);
5) 86
Ill. Adm. Code 670 (Special County Retailers' Occupation Tax for Public Safety);
6) 86
Ill. Adm. Code 690 (Salem Civic Center Retailers' Occupation Tax);
7) 86
Ill. Adm. Code 693 (Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax);
8) 86
Ill. Adm. Code 695 (County Motor Fuel Tax); and
9) 86
Ill. Adm. Code 696 (Municipal Motor Fuel Tax).
