Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax

SECTION 1. Chapter 3-32 of the Municipal Code of Chicago is hereby amended by inserting the language underscored, as follows:

3-32-020 Definitions,
When any of the following words or terms are used in this chapter, whether or not capitalized and whether or not used in a conjunctive or connective form, they shall have the meaning or construction ascribed to them in this section:


|1010|
I I


(Omitted text is unaffected by this ordinance)

I. "Lease" or "rental" means any transfer of the possession or use of personal property, but not title or ownership, to a user for consideration, whether or nol designated as a lease, rental, license or by some other term, and includes a "nonpossessory lease".

The term "nonpossessory lease" means a lease or rental wherein use but not possession of the personal property is transferred and includes, but is not limited to, leased time on or use of any and all personal property not otherwise itself rented, such as leased time on or for the use of addressing machines, billboards, calculators, computers, computer software, copying equipment or data processing equipment, whether the time is fully or partially utilized, and specifically includes a "nonpossessory computer lease".

The term "nonpossessory computer lease" means a nonpossessory lease in which the customer obtains access to the provider's computer and uses the computer and its software to input, modify or retrieve data or information, in each case without the intervention (other than de minimis intervention) of personnel acting on behalf of the provider. The term "nonpossessory computer lease" includes, but is not limited to, time sharing or time or other use of a computer with other users. In the case of a nonpossessory computer lease, the location of the terminal or other device by which a user accesses the computer shall be deemed to be the place of lease or rental and the place of use ofthe computer for purposes of the tax imposed by this chapter.

In the case of a nonpossessory computer lease where the user accesses the provider's computer from a mobile device, the rules set forth in the Illinois Mobile Telecommunications Spurring Conformity Act ("Act""), 35 ILCS 638, as amended, may be utilized for the purpose of determining which customers and charges are subject to the tax imposed by this chapter. If those rules indicate that the tax applies, it shall be presumed that the tax does apply unless the contrary is established by books, records or other documentary evidence.

The words "lease" or "rental" shall not be construed to include an agreement which constitutes a bona fide conditional sale of personal property. The primary consideration in determining whether an agreement is a conditional sale rather than a lease or rental is whether the lessee under the agreement both is required to make payments the sum of which is at least equal to the lessor's cost of the personal property and, under the terms of the agreement, has the option of taking title to or ownership of the personal property for nominal or no consideration after all payments required under the agreement have been made.

The words "lease", or "rental" shall not be construed to include an agreement which grants certain rights to a person, or the person's agent, to install, remove, operate, improve and maintain, and collect fees from, certain designated parking meters pursuant to a concession agreement.

The words "lease" or "rental" shall include a transfer of the use of software within the meaning of this chapter only if, for purposes of the Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax and Illinois Use Tax, the software is not "custom" software and the transfer is an exempt license of software.


|1010|
(Omitted text is unaffected by this ordinance)

M. "Lessor" means any person, including the assignee of any lease or rental agreement, who leases or rents personal property to users or who, directly or indirectly, receives or collects the consideration for the lease or rental of personal property.

(Omitted text is unaffected by this ordinance)

3-32-030 Tax imposed.

(Omitted text is unaffected by this ordinance)

B. The rate of the tax shall be nine percent of the lease or rental price, unless subsection B.l of this section provides for a lower rate. The tax shall be paid by the lessee at the time of each lease or rental payment, and each tax payment shall be determined by applying the tax rate to the lease or rental payment.

B.l In the case of the nonpossessory lease of a computer primarily for the purpose of allowing the customer to use the provider's computer and software to input, modify or retrieve data or information that is supplied by the customer, the rate of the tax imposed by this chapter shall be 5.25 percent of the lease or rental price.

(Omitted text is unaffected by this ordinance)

3-32-050 Exempt leases, rentals or uses.

A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the following leases, rentals or uses shall be exempt from the tax imposed by this chapter:

(13) In accordance with the terms of this subsection, and pursuant to procedures to be established by the comptroller, the nonpossessory lease of a computer, where the lessor or lessee is a small new business, as the term "small new business" is defined in this subsection.

(a) For purposes of this subsection, the term "small new business" shall mean a business that (i) holds a valid and current business license issued by the City or another jurisdiction, (ii) during the most recent full calendar year prior to the annual tax year for which the exemption provided by this subsection is sought had under $25 million in gross receipts or sales, as the term "gross receipts or sales" is defined for federal income tax purposes, and (iii) has been in operation for fewer than 60 months. For the purpose of calculating the $25 million limit, gross receipts or sales will be combined if they are received by members of a single unitary business group. For purposes of this subsection, the term "unitary business group" is as defined for Illinois income tax purposes. For the purpose of
|1010|
calculating the 60 month limit, time in operation will be deemed to have begun during the first calendar month in which the business seeking the exemption first received any gross receipts or sales. Also for the purpose of calculating the 60 month limit; time in operation will include-any earlier time during which any of the following businesses were in operation (i) another existing business, if that business is a member of the same unitary business group as the business seeking the exemption,, (ii-) a business that is no longer in operation, but that would be a member of the same unitary business group as the business seeking the exemption, if it were still in operation; (iii) a business whose liabilities would be liabilities of the business seeking the exemption, pursuant to Illinois law concerning successor liability; or (iv) any other business that is reasonably determined by the Comptroller to be substantially similar or a predecessor to the one seeking the exemption, -based on factors including, but not limited to. common ownership, management, employees, assets, line of business and location.
A small new business that is the lessor of a nonpossessory computer lease shall not be required to collect tax on its charges for such nonpossessory computer lease.
A small new business that is the lessee of a nonpossessory computer lease shall not be required to pay tax on its charges for such nonpossessory computer lease. To document this exemption, the lessor must obtain from the lessee and retain in its business records a copy of the lessee's lease tax exemption certificate, in a form to be provided by the Comptroller.
