35 ILCS 638/5 - Legislative Intent

Legislative intent The General Assembly recognizes that the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act, Public Law 106-252, codified at 4 U.S.C Sections 116 through 126, was passed by the United States Congress to establish sourcing requirements for state and local taxation of mobile telecommunication services. In general, the rules provide that taxes on mobile telecommunications services shall be collected and remitted to the jurisdiction where the customer's primary use of the services occurs, irrespective of where the mobile telecommunications services originate, terminate, or pass through. By passing this legislation in the State of Illinois, the General Assembly desires to implement that Act in this State by establishing the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Conformity Act and to inform State and local government officials of its provisions as it applies to the taxes of this State.
