For the purposes of this Act, references in such incorporated Sections of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act to retailers, sellers or persons engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property means persons engaged in conducting charitable games, and references in such incorporated Sections of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act to sales of tangible personal property mean the conducting of charitable games and the making of charges for playing such games. If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original return, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against liability subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with reasonable rules adopted by the Department. All payments made to the Department of Revenue under this Section shall be deposited into the Illinois Gaming Law Enforcement Fund of the State Treasury. (Source: P.A. 100-1171, eff. 1-4-19.)
