Department of Revenue, 09COEL-008 (Cir. Ct. Cook County 1/20/2011) In a Memorandum Opinion and Judgment Order, the Circuit Court affirmed the decision of an Administrative Law Judge that held a capital loss should be allocated among members reporting a capital loss on Schedule D in proportion to the sum of all separate capital losses so as not to result in a windfall by carrying back the loss using a combined apportionment method. 26 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax Cwik v. Giannoulias, Ill., No. 108313, 5/20/2010 Issue: Whether the state’s retention of interest accrued on unclaimed property pursuant to § 15 of the Act is an unconstitutional taking of private property without compensation. Holding: The Illinois Supreme Court held that the state’s unclaimed property statute divests the owner of abandoned property of certain incidents of ownership while that state provides safekeeping of the property along with reclamation services. This limited lapse or divestment is not an illegal taking for which compensation is due. 27 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax Hartney Fuel Oil Co. v. Department of Revenue, Tenth Circuit Court of Illinois, No. 08-MR-11, 08-MR-13, 08MR15, 1/26/2011 Issue: Whether fuel company provided sufficient evidence to support its position that its fuel sales transactions were sitused at its sales office in the Village of Mark. Holding: Illinois Circuit Court held that the evidence was sufficient and therefore the local sales tax imposed in Forest View should not have been collected by the Illinois Department of Revenue. 28 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax Empress Casino Joliet Corp. v. Blagojevich, No. 09-3975, 638 F. 3d 519 (3/2/2011) Issue: Whether casino surcharge imposed by the Illinois legislature and used by the state to assist the horse racing industry is a “tax” to which the federal Tax Injunction Act applies. Holding: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held the casino surcharge was not a “tax,” but rather more like a regulatory penalty or fee. 29 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax Performance Marketing Association v. Brian Hamer, Director, Illinois Department of Revenue, Cir. Ct. Cook County, 7/27/2011 Complaint originally field in Federal Court, dropped and refiled in Cir. Ct. Cook County challenging the constitutionality of HB 3659 (P.A. 96-1544)(click-through nexus provisions) • Count 1 alleges improper and unduly burdensome regulation of interstate commerce in violation of the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution • Count 2 alleges improper regulation of commerce occurring outside of Illinois’ borders in violation of the Commerce Clause • Count 3 alleges violation of the Federal Internet Tax Freedom Act 30 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax Interstate Trucks, LLC v. State of Illinois, Ill. App. Ct., 4th Dist. No. 4-10-0603 (6/14/2011) Motor Fuel Tax Law Issue: Whether out-of-state dealership that purchased trucks in Illinois and then attempted to transport the trucks to the dealership in Tennessee was subject to the motor fuel use tax when fuel for the trucks was purchased in Illinois. Holding: Court held that motor fuel use tax license was not required because, at the time the Department stopped the trucks, they had been operated exclusively within Illinois, and fuel sufficient to get the trucks out of the state had been purchased in Illinois. The court further found that requiring the taxpayer to purchase single-trip permits would not further the purpose behind the motor fuel use tax. 31 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax Wirtz v. Quinn, Ill. S. Ct., 2011 IL 111903 (7/11/2011), reversing Wirtz v. Quinn, Ill. App. Ct., No 1-09-3163 and 1-10-0344 (1/26/2011) Issue: Whether four laws enacted in 2009 that created a $31 billion capital program were enacted in violation of the single subject rule of the Illinois state constitution. Holding: On appeal, the Illinois Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, finding that the substantive provisions of the Act were clearly connected to the single subject of the Act (capital projects) because they established increased revenue sources to be deposited into the Capital Projects fund. Even the provisions that did not directly raise revenue were still related in that they helped implement the other provisions. The Court rejected all other constitutional challenges to the enactment of the Act. 32 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax Kansas City Southern Railway Co. et al. v. Koeller et al., 7th Cir., No. 10-2333 (7/27/2011) Federal Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act (“4-R Act”) Issue: Whether Sny Island Levee Drainage District assessments were discriminatory under the federal 4-R Act. Holding: 7th Circuit decision found that the assessment did violate the 4-R Act’s prohibition against imposition of discriminatory taxes when it changed its method for calculating assessments due under the Illinois Drainage Code. While the basis for calculating the assessments (a “benefit basis”) might have been fair in theory, as applied to the railroad companies, it was discriminatory in practice. Case remanded to district court with instructions to enjoin the assessments. 33 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax Demos v. Pappas et al., Ill. App. Ct., 1st Dist. No. 1-100829 (8/15/2011) Issue: Whether County Treasurer, as judgment debtor under the Property Tax Code Indemnity Fund, is a “governmental entity” for purposes of calculating postjudgment rates. Holding: The Property Tax Code Indemnity Fund is maintained to satisfy judgments against the County Treasurer, as trustee of the fund. The interest rate applicable to such judgments depends on whether the “judgment debtor” is a “governmental entity.” As trustee of the Fund, the Cook County Treasurer is the relevant “judgment debtor,” and the Court of Appeals determined that the county treasurer is a “governmental entity,” because the treasurer is a constitutional officer carrying out her public duties for the benefit of the public. Therefore, the proper postjudgment rate on indemnity fund judgments is 6%. 34 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax Regional Transportation Authority v. City of Kankakee et. al., Cir. Ct. Cook County (8/23/2011) Complaint filed August 23, 2011 alleging that Kankakee and Channahon have been distributing local sales tax revenue to companies sourcing sales to “sham” offices purportedly located in those municipalities. The RTA claims that these “sham” offices are set up to avoid paying locally imposed taxes, including the share of the Retailers’ Occupation Tax that is allocated 0.25% to the RTA in Cook County. As a result, the RTA “loses sales tax monies that should have been rightfully paid to it.” The complaint alleges a violation of 65 ILCS 5/8-11-21, and seeks damages to compensate for the tax revenue it was denied as a result of the municipalities unlawful conduct. 35 Judicial Developments Non-Income Tax City of Chicago v. City of Kankakee et. al., Cir. Ct. Cook County (8/23/2011) Similar to the RTA action, but limited to periods since 1/1/2004 forward. In addition to damages, City of Chicago is seeking injunctive relief. 36 Income Tax Adopted Regulations Income Tax • Estimated Income Tax Payment • 86 Ill. Adm.
