Ill. Admin. Code tit. 86 § 130.440
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 45, November 8, 2024
The retailer should not collect tax on amounts as to which he is acting merely as a tax collector, such as the Cook County Liquor Gallonage Tax, the Illinois Motor Fuel Tax Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 120, par. 417 et seq.) and 86 Ill. Adm. Code 500. If the retailer does erroneously collect tax on any such amounts, he must refund the erroneously collected tax to the purchaser or else remit such erroneously collected tax to the Department. He may not retain it. Also, if the retailer knowingly collects tax from customers on receipts which are not subject to Retailers' Occupation Tax, he can be subjected to prosecution for a criminal violation.
