This rulemaking amends Part 130, Retailers’ Occupation Tax, to implement Article 75 of Public Act 103-592 which imposes Retailers’ Occupation Tax on leases of tangible personal property beginning January 1, 2025. This change does not apply to leases of motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and semitrailers, as defined in Section 1-187 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, that are required to be registered with an agency of this State.

This rulemaking also implements Public Act 98-628 which provides that the taxable “selling price” of first division and certain second division motor vehicles sold incident to the contemporaneous long-term lease of those motor vehicles is equal to the amount due under the lease contract rather than the amount the lessor pays the seller for the motor vehicle.

Implementing the Property Tax Code

86 Ill. Adm. Code 110

The proposed rule (i.e., amendment to Section 110.160) is required under Section 2-10 of the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/2-10) (Section 2-10). Section 2-10 requires the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) to promulgate multi-township assessment districts (MTADs) every ten years. Certification of these new MTADs was made by February 1, 2024 for election purposes. In order to comply with Section 2-10, this rulemaking updates 86 Ill. Adm. Code 110.160 (Section 110.160).
