Fiscal Year 2013 Estimate for Replacement Taxes

The FY-13 RT allocations are estimated at $1,054 million.  This is a decrease of 14.7% or $182 million from FY-12 allocations that totaled $1,236 million.  The primary reason for the significant decrease is because of statutory requirements. 

The FY-12 allocation was increased by $90.5 million because the state is statutorily required every fiscal year to transfer any unpaid Replacement Tax refund monies from the refund fund to the Personal Property Tax Replacement fund.  Since the state did not pay Replacement Tax refunds during FY-10 and FY-11, the transfer amounts during FY-11 and FY-12 were an increase to the Personal Property Tax Replacement fund.  In FY-12, the state paid all required Replacement Tax refunds to the business taxpayers by June 30, 2012.  This resulted in a deficit in the Replacement Tax refund fund which must now be transferred out of the Personal Property Tax Replacement fund.  This amount is $91.2 million.  In short, local governments received monies in prior years that now must be repaid pursuant to 35 ILCS 5/901(d) (4).
