Illinois § 6

§ 6.

Applicability. The taxes imposed by Sections 3 and 4 of this Act do not apply to any amounts paid or received for peer-to-peer car sharing, as defined in Section 5 of the Car-Sharing Program Act, or the privilege of sharing a shared vehicle through a car-sharing program, as defined in Section 5 of the Car-Sharing Program Act, if the shared-vehicle owner paid applicable taxes upon the purchase of the automobile. As used in this Section, "applicable taxes" means, with respect to vehicles purchased in Illinois, the retailers' occupation tax levied under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or the use tax levied under the Use Tax Act. "Applicable taxes", with respect to vehicles not purchased in Illinois, refers to the sales, use, excise, or other generally applicable tax that is due upon the purchase of a vehicle in the jurisdiction in which the vehicle was purchased. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the car-sharing program shall have the right to rely on the shared-vehicle owner's response and to be held legally harmless for such reliance.
