2007 House Bill 5096

Senate Roll Call 394: Passed

To retroactively change some definitions in the Use Tax Act (related to who is a "taxpayer" for purposes of claiming a bad debt deduction) that will have the effect of reversing the judgement of the Supreme Court in the case "DaimlerChrysler Services North America, LLC v. Department of Treasury," under which the state will be required to honor $93 million in tax refund claims. The bill would also result in an additional $30 million in annual use tax paid by business in the future.
