Illinois sales and uses tax update

Form ST-1, sales and use tax and E911 surcharge return
Effective January 1, 2025, retailers previously obligated to collect and remit Illinois Use Tax (UT) on retail sales sourced outside of Illinois and made to Illinois customers are now subject to destination-based retailers’ occupation tax (ROT). This change affects retailers with any kind of physical presence in Illinois who make sales that are sourced outside of this State1 to Illinois customers. (See 35 ILCS 120/1, 120/2, 120/2-12, and Public Act 103-983.)
Retailers’ allowance for certain transaction returns capped at $1,000 per month
For sales and use tax and other related returns due on or after January 1, 2025, the retailers’ discount amount is limited to $1,000 per month. See Public Act 103-592.
Illinois sales and use tax applies to leased or rented tangible personal property
Effective January 1, 2025, if you lease or rent tangible personal property in the ordinary course of your business, you're considered a retailer subject to Illinois’ Sales and Use Tax laws, and you must register with the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) and pay tax on your lease or rental receipts. See P.A. 103-592.
The Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax (Form 7550) applies to businesses or individuals that either are a lessor or lessee of personal property used in Chicago
Effective January 1, 2025, 11% of receipts or charges for all leases, including the non-possessory lease of a computer to input, modify, or retrieve data supplied by the customer.
Leases: HB 4951 extends sales and use tax to the retail lease of tangible personal property
(other than motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft and semitrailers),
effective for leases in effect, entered into, or renewed on or after January 1, 2025.
An exemption applies for (1) a lessee's use of software that was transferred under a license that meets certain requirements and (2) those licenses subject to tax by a home-rule jurisdiction (licenses taxed under the
Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax in Chicago will be exempt
).
Revenue from lease transactions is sourced as follows: (1) for leases requiring recurring periodic payments for property delivered to the lessee, each periodic payment is sourced to the primary property location for each period covered by the payment, and (2) for all other leases, the payment is sourced as provided for sales at retail, other than leases. Such leases are also subject to applicable local sales and use taxes.

Maine sales taxation of rentals of tangible personal property update

Beginning January 1, 2025, the imposition of Maine sales tax on tangible personal property, including products transferred electronically, leased or rented in Maine will shift to impose the sales tax on each periodic lease or rental payment paid by the lessee. For leases in effect, entered into, or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, lessors are required to charge and collect Maine sales tax from the lessee on each lease or rental payment. Lessors need to report these types of transactions on Line 1 Gross Sales of ST-7 which subject to the general 5.500% Maine sales tax rate.

Entity configuration updates
The Return Register import functionality is enhanced to provide more granular messages in the error log file for the failed imports.
Key benefits:
If any of the import record has an unsupported submission mode, then the import will fail for those records and will be flagged in the Error Log file. This enhanced log will inform what submission modes are supported for that import record so that the user can update the file with the correct submission mode and re-import that file.
Content tools updates
The
Tax Returns
