LEGAL REMINDER: SALES TO OUT OF STATE CUSTOMERS
|
|
| |
Although most sales to out of state customers are tax exempt, if you sell a vehicle to a resident of Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, or South Carolina, you are required to collect Illinois Sales Tax unless (1) the purchaser has a valid Illinois exemption number at the time of the purchase or (2) you deliver the vehicle to an out of state location not to be returned to Illinois or arrange for the vehicle to be shipped to an out of state location not to be returned to Illinois. A list of the states for which Illinois dealers must collect Illinois Sales Tax (retaliatory states) and the correct tax rates can be found here.
The fact that a purchase is tax-exempt in the purchaser's state of residence, because the purchaser is a unit of government, a charity, or a religious entity, for example, does not make it exempt in Illinois. If you sell a vehicle to a resident of one of the 8 retaliatory state and deliver the vehicle in Illinois, you must collect Illinois sales tax unless the purchaser has a valid Illinois exemption number at the time of the purchase. Additional information about Illinois exemption numbers, including information about applying for an exemption number can be found here.
Items that are delivered or shipped out of Illinois not to be returned to Illinois are exempt by virtue of being in the stream of interstate commerce. However, to qualify for the interstate sales exemption, you must comply with the Department of Revenue's recordkeeping requirements. The most important requirement, if you ship a vehicle out of Illinois, is that your dealership be recorded as the shipper to an out of state location on the bill of lading or other shipping documents. The Department of Revenue's administrative rule concerning the tax exemption for property that is delivered or shipped out of Illinois can be found here.
